Let the madness begin!!
I've spent the last 2 days waiting and organizing for tomorrow. The weekend holds alot of events where I'll be presenting cakes. However I can't be all about cakes I can't forget about my family and friends. This week I'm try'n to do it all thats for sure!! night out with the girls, making sure my sons at school on time, a smash cake, vegan taster box for a new "client", new hours at my day job, try'n to have a date night with the hubs.......something had to give and sadly no movie date with the hubs! BUT I've now got time to go over everything again before I start the madness tomorrow night!!! 3 cakes baked tomorrow, cake pops and decoration the night after,then the vegan cakes......LMAO! I'm just hoping I'll remember what jobs where and that I don't show up cover'd in flour!wait to see what happens this week/weekend!

GEEZ!! cupcakes may have to wait till tmorrow morning since I've still got to cool, fill, stack and dirty ice then fondant the cake!omg, I think I'll be up FOREVER! thankfully my parents let the kids play outside ALL day so the fell asleep eating their dinner so I've had time to clean up while waiting on the cakes! omg......tick tock tic tock! more cake orders today SO EXCITED

Spring has Sprung
You know Spring has sprung when the birds are singing and the sun is shining. I got into a dance around the kitchen mood, cranked up the tunes and made these yummy little treats! vanilla cupcakes w/ homemade strawberry icing and cute little purple fondant butterflys
George
My not so baby brother has been in love with dinosaurs since he could crawl. It was only natural that for his 27th birthday he would have a dino cake! "George" is so far my most amazing cake! He truely taught me patient!! Made out of rice crispys and lots of molding, "George" came to life! yeah we named him...well my kids did!! My hubs only says "its cause he was in the fridge so long"....to be honest he was in there for 5days it only seemed longer cause he took up space, lol.
this 10X2 2 layer chocolate cake was HUGE but awesome, it couldn't have come out any better...well maybe(lol).

~Hi~
I started ~Love That Cake~ when my son turned 2 and I realized if you ever wanted something AWESOME and unique at a discount price you'd have to learn to make it yourself! Prices today blow me away for baking products! So I wanted to change that, I like to think I'm not the only one who would like to see others "step outside the box" as my mom would put it with their cooking and baking! So this is my adventure, I hope you'll come along with me!
