The Celebration of Heddy and Steve

When Tawna first approached me with a cake request for Heddy and Steve's engagement party, she used the word "celebrate" about half a dozen times.

It was very clear about how she felt of their pending nuptials.

It was definitely time to celebrate.

This cake design was inspired by one of Colette Peters' cakes.
I'd love to take one of her classes someday.

The butterflies were made from melted chocolate,

which can be made ahead of time.

Instructions on how to make these butterflies

can be found in the Hello Cupcake book.

Heddy is always a good reason to celebrate,

but when you add Steve into the mix?... you have one helluva CELEBRATION!

Congratulations, Heddy and Steve!

The words were polished with Luster Dust.

Aw Heck, Let Them Eat Crayons!

 It's the last day of school!
Eat those crayons!

I've had this cake on my "to-do-list" for awhile, so finally I had to make one when I found this awesome tutorial on cakecentral.com.

 The cake is from two 9x13 cakes, stacked, then carved into shape.

I used Joy Kids Cones for the crayon tips.  They were covered with marshmallow fondant then "glued" to the cake with candy melts.

 I adore this cake because it makes me happy.

But then again, I never met a cake that didn't make me smile.

Happy, happy, happy!

Everything is EDIBLE!

Thank you Teachers for another wonderful year!
