March Madness

I baked up these basketballs for a new tradition: our Friday March Madness party at Centro, my company. We had a number of clients come out for some basketball cheering and... "beering".

Rock It

These guitars were for my friends Armine & Pete, as they recently had their first child. The design is in honor of their son becoming a future rocker like his dad. (I was going for "electric" but somehow they scream "banjo"!)

Cheers!

I had a lot of fun with these. I created these for my friends Brian & Lauren to celebrate their upcoming 'nups. Since they're tying the knot on New Years' Eve, they have a gold & silver motif. I played around with metallic dust for the first time (if you look closely, you can see the the dust brushed onto the background).

The navy blue icing may or may not have dyed peoples' mouths as blue as Smurfs. Apparently that happens when you eat more than 5!

Baby Giraffes

I made these little guys for my friend Jen's baby shower. She's having a girl, but the hosts didn't want to overdo it in the pink camp. These provided a nice understated touch.

"Batter" Up

I created these cookies awhile ago, and just recently stumbled upon the pics. I made them in Spring '08 for my Uncle Carl's birthday. He's a huge Phillies fan, so I emblazoned a few with red "P"s. Oh, and I should probably point out that the Phillies won the World Series a few months later. Just saying.

Fired Up!

My mom's friend was throwing a shower for her son & daughter-in-law. He's a firefighter. And they're having a girl. So naturally we decided on...what else? Pink hydrants.

Baby Blowout

I created these onesie cookies for my friends Marley & Brian who are expecting their first (in a month!) Since they had a co-ed shower, I didn't want to go overboard with the pink. A few touches of orange did the trick. Next time I may opt for doing the decals in fondant (see below post).
