Bella & Gabe's Birthdays

I loved making the cupcakes for Bella's 2nd birthday. I was scared at first because I'd never tried anything like this before but I had Lexi help me (thx Lexi!) and they turned out pretty cute. We had a penguin theme for the cakes because Bella loves the Penguins of Madagascar cartoon on Nick.

I only did 5 cupcakes like penguins because I was not sure if my cupcake holder would be big enough to hold the taller cakes. The rest of the cupcakes were just frosted with vanilla icing and some got fish and others got coated in flaked coconut. I got a cupcake decorating book for my birthday this year and I love it. It's called Hello, Cupcake! by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. I can't wait to do more, maybe something for Halloween...

My sister, Mary, decorated a cheesecake for her son's birthday. Gabe turned 8 and loves the WWE.
All she did was "write out" the logo design with melted white chocolate on a piece of wax paper and placed it in the freezer to set. When she was ready to serve the cheesecake, she popped the design on.

I made a John Cena card for Gabe. He has a movable arm to do his "U can't see me" pose. I love this card!!!
