American Flag Cake

This was for a Scout Court of Honor and I learned from the mother that ordered this cake, that Gold Stars are for Memorial Cakes- for those lost, so we went with blue and white instead. This was a three layer chocolate cake with salted caramel cream filling.

Happy 101 BSA!

Blue and Gold is the Scout color theme so here it is! This was a red velvet two tiered cake for a boy scout birthday celebration. The top tier was red velvet layers alternating with chocolate layers and filling, the bottom was all red velvet and cream cheese filling alternating with white chocolate.

The blue on the top tier is molding chocolate- tastes much better than fondant! All the stars, stripes and decor are also made from molding chocolate.
I put a little scout tent, fire pit and scout cap to top it off, I thought the sleeping under the stars was appropriate. (love the scout faces!! thanks for sending the picture in!)

One of my true Delights

My oldest, Scott just turned 11 recently and received his "Arrow of Light" badge and now is on the long road to becoming an Eagle Scout! So exciting and we are so proud of him. For the ceremony I made cupcakes that resemble the actual Arrow of Light badge. Congratulations Scotty!

Pinewood Derby Cupcakes!

My kids think I am THE coolest. I make homemade matchbox cars. This week I got to make up for all the years my brothers made their own cars and styled them just right- while I just watched. The hostess of this "Derby" said that the cake topper cars went to the boys whose cars came in last, and these edible cars were possibly more coveted than the real trophys.
The cupcakes were topped with little cars that were mini replicates of the big ones and flags with the cars number.
Go Pack 459!!!



(Thanks for the great picture Kaele!)

Boy Scout Birthday

Blake turned 9 and wanted a Boy Scout theme for his party and crocodile for his school class. Can you say BOY all the way?
We added a few fish cupcakes to make enough for the whole class. My friends son was in his class and he told his mom "we had the best cupcakes today!" (Thanks Noah!)
The scout boy (as my 6 year old calls them) has his troup number on his flag and the accompanying cupcakes have flags with 9 for his age. You cant see here but I put his badges on his shoulder and chest along with his "Wolf" scarf. Happy Birthday Blake!!

This is a 4 layer 6 inch cake. Chocolate mousse filling.
