Take me out to the ball game


Tiffani found me on Etsy, and asked for a safari animal set, customized to include a Tiger holding a number 3 sculpture, and a palm tree.

Tiffani did a great job of creating the safari themed cake that follows...



Fast forward a bit and Tiffani is at it again.  Only this time she had a baseball themed cake in mind.  The cake was to be a 10" round on a 14" square.  She provided me with a list of items that she wanted for the cake and this is what I made.

For the top of the top tier:  6" baseball bat, 3" tall Yankee baseball cap, 4" mitt, two baseballs, a large #8
Side of the top tier: Baseball pennants spelling out the name "ASHER"
Top of the bottom tier: 4 base plates
Side of the bottom tier: jerseys with the number 8, baseball bats, mitts, stars
Additional decorations:  small baseballs (to be interspersed with beading), and 2 2" baseball mits for two of the corners of the cake.






The toppers haven't even shipped yet, so I don't have a "finished cake" photo to show you at the moment, but I can't wait to see it!  I hope you can picture it in your mind.

If you can dream it, I would love the opportunity to make it in fondant!

Happy Styling,

Cake and Cupcake Topper Style Stars

Oh my, has it really been a month since my last posting?  I apologize for that.  There has been a whole lot of celebrating going on around the world (yes world!) and my hands have been busy MAKING these little guys.

Safari animals have been very popular and at the moment, I cannot tell you just how many lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras, hippos, elephants and monkeys I have made.  The thing that I love, love, love about making each little cake and cupcake topper is that each is totally unique.  Each topper is made with love and a prayer of blessing for the life of the person receiving the toppers, their family and for their celebration.

I haven't photographed every topper made, but here are the highlights from the past month...
