Favorite Things

In general Men's cakes are a challenge.  So many design elements to avoid.....flowers, bows, pink, purple, glitter, polka dots, you catch my drift?

So, unless there is some sort of theme to follow, it is TOUGH.  At least when you are trying to create something a little more unique and original that your run of the mill cake.

Then, there are also your super themey cakes.  I have had my share of super themey men's cakes.  Like Call of Duty especially.

This 40th birthday cake was a welcomed departure from the super themey, but had just enough theme element to make it fun and interesting.  Love that!

It was a simple tiered cake meant to pull in several of the birthday guy's favorite things. 
A USC alum, Kansas City Chiefs fan, and iphone and ipad gadget lover.....this was the end result.



Fun stuff.

FORE!!!!!!

Last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of creating cookie favors for the wonderful people participating in the golf tournament benefiting Casa de Amparo.  The event was called "FORE - the Casa Kids Golf Tournament" and was held at the beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn.

As you may recall, I am lucky enough to have recently struck up a relationship with these wonderful people that I told you all about here.  For this important event, I donated 150 cookie favors to include in the goodie bags of the participants of the fundraiser.  They also held a silent auction to raise funds for their very important cause.

The design was inspired by the fabulous Sweet Sugarbelle.  She is definitely one of my cookie idols.  Check her blog out.  She always has beautiful photos of her impeccable work, and she is always so generous with tips and tutorials for anyone interested in learning.

I hope they raised a boat load of cash for those sweet, deserving kids!

Thanks for stopping by...
