Auburn Birthday Girl!

A dear friend called to order a red velvet cake for her daughter.  When we discussed decor, she decided to wait until the college football championship game was over because Amanda is a great Auburn fan! When Auburn won, we decided to use those colors for her cake!  So Amanda ended up with an Auburn orange and blue decorated cake with a deep CRIMSON inside [Roll Tide!]  Take a look!

Topsy Turvy Winter.....AND Flamingos

I wanted to try to make a Topsy Turvy cake, and since Denise's birthday was nearing, I decided THIS would be the time to experiment!  Denise LOVES flamingos, but her birthday is mid-winter! So how do you combine the season with her love of flamingos on a Topsy Turvy cake?  Just look!






Snowmen in Alabama
