New Cakes

I know you must have missed me.  O.K., maybe not.  I've have missed being on here though.  I have had trouble with my computer and have been at the mercy of my children and husband to use their computers.  It just is never the same when I'm on theirs.  My pictures and cake programs are not on them, only on mine.  However, the geek squad has come to my rescue and my computer is back on.  Yes, it feels like my long lost love has re-entered my life (so to speak).

I have been very busy and have made some fun and tasty cakes.  I am posting them on this post and in the gallery's they belong in.  That way you will have a front page view and then they will be accessible when this post has been archived.

Before I post the photos, I want to say thank you to my customers who continue to support my passion.  With out any of you, I would not have the opportunity to push myself to be better than the last cake or cookie creation.

Please continue to pray for my niece Ashley Kate.  Her fight is far from over.  She has to be infection and hospital free for three months before the doctors will even talk about re-listing her for transplant.  To see how she is doing, please stop by her blog ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com.  I know they would appreciate your visit.

Time for cake!

Cinderella Princess or Princess Kezia

Small cake is a specialty cake made by the mom. I made the topper and decorated the cake for her.  The large Carriage is chocolate cake filled with vanilla butter cream.  All accessories are fondant with tylose and edible dragees.

 Bench on the front of the carriage.

Curtain and side panel with step.  










Allison's Coach Purse
Vanilla cake, vanilla butter cream filling, covered with fondant.  Gum paste IPod.












Bowling Bayly
Fondant bowling pins and balls top vanilla cup cakes
We had a bowling party with pizza and of course bowling.









Damask (I had 2 orders for the exact same cake.  I am only posting one.)

The birthday ladies were:  Candi and Sharon
(both had their own cake about a week apart)
















Becca
The colors are not what I was after.  I was working for a bright pink swirl and bright lime green swirl on the cakes.  They turned out nice though.  I think Becca really liked it.

Mrs. Patti Hog was so kind to order a special cake for her M-I-L.  She requested flowers.  Because of the size of cake, it needed a single hand made gum paste flower.  I hear she loved it.

Cherry cake with vanilla butter cream and cherry butter cream filling and border.












Under Construction.
I have made this little guys cakes from the beginning- No.1  Now we are on No.3!  I enjoyed this.  Thank you to my husband, we worked on this one together.

The vehicles are rice krispy treats and the sand is sugar cookie and sanding sugars.

Play Ball!  This cake was for nephew, Blake, who turned 15. My 2 nephews are 11 days apart!

Blake has had baseball fever since he was walking and talking.  This is a round field with a fence, the ball, cap and hot dog are rice krispy treats and the peanuts are fondant.  Happy Birthday "Catch!"


Guess who this cake was for!  Yep, Mike Hogg!  He is a die hard OU fan. Every year a new OU design for him.

However, every year it is cherry cake with cherry butter cream filling.

Spiderman, My Hero!  Lennox is such a cute little guy.  Pardon me,  he's a big 3 now!  and still cute as a bug.

Believe it or not, this one put me on edge a little.  I did not want to disappoint anyone, but it came out better than I thought.  Honestly, I was very pleased with the result. I can not remember which web site I found the instructions on, but they were a big help!  Thank you to you!

The head is rice krispy treats and the torso is cake.  Lennox is on cup cakes, not cookies.  Everyone kept saying cool cookies, but they are cool cup cakes.


F4 Fighter Plane
This was a very large cake.  Thanks to my wonderful husband we were able to accomplish this task.  The runway even had working lights that flashed in sequence from back to front.  It was pretty cool.













Camo Jake. 
My nephew Jake turned 15 and went deer hunting with his new gun.  Yes, he got one!  The biggest one out of the entire hunting party.  Poor Bambi's mommy. 
hApPy BiRtHdAy Judge!














Cake Pop!
Single serving. Chocolate inside and out! Yummmmmm!

Camo Calvin
(Loved seeing this guy!  He looks exactly like both of his parents whom I dearly love! Nancy and "Lumpy") This was not a military party, it was an air gun party something like paint ball.  Mini air-gun and mini binoculars with "Duff" trees are fondant.

Elle

The Party was at Paint Your Art Out in Edmond.  This cake was based off the painting they were doing at the party.

















Cow Skull (served 50)
Vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream and raspberry filling.  Sounds yummy to me!

(I think it's a very ugly cake, but I received a text the next day that read,  "it was a hit and it tasted as amazing as it looked."  I would say it was a success!)
The horns are rice krispy treats and the sand is sugar cookie and sanding sugar.


I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys the up coming weather.

If you have a need for a cake or cookies in the near future (2 weeks or 2 months)  please email or call to schedule.  I'm already taking orders for December and January.  Don't miss your chance to have a Toni Cake.

Oh Where Oh Where are my Cake Orders?

No, I know I shouldn't post this, but I did have a wonderful break this summer.  However, it's time to get back to work.  I don't care that school is starting, I need to decorate cake!  I don't care if it's cake pops, specialty sugar cookies, I just need to be creative and have some where for them to go!  I know this is nuts!  I have orders on my calendar, but I want MORE!  whoo hoo!  Bring it on!  I'm ready.  Is that wrong? 

Well, October is going to be here before I know it.  I guess I could get started on that!  You don't know what happens in October?  Oklahoma Sugar Art Show in Tulsa!  Competition!  I'm so excited!  I know what I'm going to be creating, but you will have to wait to know or to see it. If you are a decorator and plan on attending, I'd love to see you there.  Let me know if I should look for you!  I'll be there the entire show with my hubby.

Please let me tell you about the strawberry cake I had pulled out of the oven and no customer to receive it. No, it did not get thrown in the trash!  This morning I pulled it out of the freezer/fridge (yes, it's been there since I filled with vanilla butter cream, covered with fondant and some what decorated it!) and gave it to my niece Jessica.  No worries - I tried it!  It was as amazing as the day I baked it. Jessie is a strawberry cake eating girl and loves my strawberry cake.  Jessie was more than happy to take it off my hands.  It made smiley to give it to her, too.  I didn't want it to go to waste.  All's well that end's well.

HEY!!  I do not keep cake anywhere that long, but I wanted to see how yummy it would taste after "so many" days.  I win!!!!

I guess it's time to get some zzzzz's.  If you or anyone you know needs cake, cookies, or cake pops, please send them my way.  I will love to take care of their sweet tooth. 

Have a blessed week!
Toni

Please continue praying for Ashley and my family.  Thank you.

A Bitter Sweet Weekend

Yes, I must explain the title of my post. Forgive me as it may seem a ramble.  There is a point, bare with me.


My sweet niece, Ashley Kate is in the PICU at Omaha, NE.  She had gone into severe rejection with one of her transplanted organs.  On July 30th, the transplant team had to go in and remove all except 3 inches of her intestine and 3 inches of the donor intestine.  My brother, Chuck, older sister, Kathy, and I grabbed some clothes and a toothbrush and rushed to Omaha, so Trish and my brother-in-law, Dave would not be alone. We made it right after they took her back.  We stayed the entire weekend and arrived back home Sunday night.  (So, there is the very BITTER.  Wait there is more to come.)

Monday morning I had to go cake supply shopping (Why does that always take for ever?).  I had only one order for a customer, a smash cake, 100 sugar cookies, and a 3 tier cake to do for my niece who was turning 5 on August 4th.   Wednesday afternoon, as soon as I took cakes out of the oven, I ask my customer if she could pick up her order 2 days prior to the original date.  Unfortunately, she decided to cancel after I spent money and time working on her order.

Of course, I needed to get back to Omaha with the cookies and cake for my niece.  So, I pressed on and finished my sisters order.  On August 6th, we left at 10:30 a.m. for Omaha and the 7th celebrated Ashley's birthday.   About 90 people, including family and friends made it to Omaha for Ashley. That was such a blessing, and the SWEET part.  When I saw Ashley, I thought, she did not look right, but was still beautiful. (I chalked it up to she was scared of all the people and still had not recovered from her ex-plant.)  Sunday morning came, packed up and ready to go home, we drove to the hospital to say goodbye.  On our way there I received a text:  They had to take Ashley back into the O.R.  That was so scary knowing my thoughts at the party.  I was so grateful we had not left yet and were able to be there once again for my sister and Dave.  They did not find what they were looking for, but an ugly infection from the prior surgery.  Ashley is still battling the infection.

I'm not looking for sympathy, just your prayers. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is...Even though you have no clue is going on in someones life and they should never have "cake" conflicts, don't rush to judgment.  Sometimes life just happens.  Remember, it is not in their control, just as it is not in yours.

(If you would like to know what is going on with Ashley Kate, her blog is ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com)  "She will leave finger prints all over your heart."


Thank you for allowing me to ramble, I know this is a cake blog, so I'm happy to post CAKE and COOKIES.  I have already put it on Cake Central.  There are over 100 favorites of her cake and that made me smile.  I hope you enjoy the cake as much as I enjoyed the privilege to make it. 

Have a blessed week.
