Starry Night



Ahhh...after a long awaited and MUCH needed break from the baking/decorating world, I finally made another cake! Honestly, I was getting pretty bored on my days off and one can only spend so much time at the gym and clean the house so many times before there's nothing left to do. So, here's my attempt at painting Van Gogh's "Starry Night" on a cake. I think next time I'd rather make the design out of icing rather than paint it on with food coloring, but its not too bad for my first try, right???

Getting older....



So one of my coworkers wanted a "funny" cake to give her husband for his 40th birthday and I thought, why not a coffin cake? And here it is.... I think it was the easiest cake I've ever made and I was very happy with the results. Hopefully, I'll get to make another one of these soon! PS--the little card on top says, "We mourn the passing of your youth!"
