I finally replaced my broken camera! It broke in July and I finally caved and bought another little point and shoot. The SLR will come, eventually. So, I have a couple of pictures of cupcake that I did for friends this fall from my ancient digital that I am posting below --- the photos are a little 'smokey' because of the camera itself. Anna's cupcakes included the first initial of each little girl at this spa party. What a fun idea! And the music notes and symbols were for our choir director at church. I ended up not being able to go to the party that night, but was able to get the cupcakes there for everyone else to enjoy!
My youngest son also celebrated a birthday during this camera crisis. Thanks to my Dad, I have a couple of pictures at the party site (Children's Museum of Wilmington). He is still on the super hero kick, but no longer exclusive to Spiderman. What joy! The cake was his idea. He was insistant that there be a 'bowl' of candy on top of the cake. So, I took the chalenge... cut out the center of the cake, covered the entire thing in fondant and then filled it in with an assortment of mini chocolate bars. I think it was brilliant! The pinata cake!
The bottom layer was an awesome city skyline done in chocolate fondant, but none of the pictures captured the detail. Damn my indecision to get another camera sooner!
And lastly, I have pictures with the new camera of a cake I did yesterday for a dear friend and incredible Zumba instructor, Wendy. Her daughter, Ashlyn, turned 9 and wanted an amazing cake like her cousin was getting (I think for a 16th birthday if I remember correctly???). Wendy and I bartered for this cake. I get Zumba! They get cake! Yummy and fun for everyone!
Hope Ashlyn had an amazing party. Wish we could have stayed!
cheers,
Amy
