Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street...

It takes a special little cookie monsters for Aunt Amy to make a cake these days.... and these two little ones just fit the bill...  It was fun making the cake, cupcakes and cake pop's for their Sesame Street party.  Mr. Hopper's store, Garbage can bowling and a special appearance by cookie monster made for a fun filled afternoon!  Great job Mom,Dad, Aunt Sara and the whole Peitz crew for pulling together another fun birthday party!

An Elmo 1st Birthday Celebration!

I made baby Kourtney's baby shower cake and now it is time to celebrate her 1st birthday. Time flies...  This cake presented a few new challenges for me, which I like.... It was harder to model Elmo then I thought it would be.  At first I thought he was going to turn out like a jaba the hut elmo but covering him up with a diaper for baby elmo and putting the bow in front of him made him look better I think... I also played with my funky letters and got better at using them.  Overall I was happy with the fun elmo cake and I'm sure little Koutney had fun eating it too!

 The smash cake...

Getting better at using the funky letters.  The key is lots of corn starch powder on the letter mold and tylose powder mixed with fondant to make it easier to work with ....
