Super delicious birthday cookies

Not so long ago, before iPhones, Droids, and Black-berries were all the rage, some folks just couldn't live without their Sidekick.

Take Roy for example.  He was so attached to his Sidekick that his friends decided to get it immortalized in cake for his 18th birthday.

This crazy birthday cake was sculpted cake covered in fondant, with fondant accents.  Chad made the keyboard and screen graphics using his graphics program and then printed them out on edible images.  The screen was made from gumpaste.

My one regret is that the screen didn't want to stay up.  I finally used a small tin to help support the lid.

Have a great weekend and thanks SO much for stopping by!!

This weekend our very good friends Greg and Kristin were married at Welcome Valley Village in Benton, Tennessee - very close to the Ocoee River. It was a beautifully rustic little place and we had a blast! Even though we deliver cakes to weddings almost every weekend, we rarely get to go to one. Greg is a big Back to the Future fan, and wanted a Delorean cake as his grooms cake. Greg was really happy with it (as were we) and there was a lot of people there that didn't believe it was cake. I stopped counting the Ace of Cakes references at somewhere around 20!

A while back we purchased Mike McCary's Cakenology DVD and ever since we have wanted to give it a shot. Chad and I worked on this cake over 24 hours, but we had an absolute blast making it. Mike certainly makes it look easy, but he gives excellent instruction.

Speaking of Mike McCary and instruction, tomorrow I will be attending Mike's modeling chocolate class at the Nicholas Lodge school in Atlanta. I am absolutely giddy with excitement. I got my first experience working with modeling chocolate on this car and I am really in love with it. I see Chad making lots more modeling chocolate in our future!!

Everyone have a great week and Congratulations Greg & Kristin! Have a great time in Key West!!
