Chocolate fudge cake with raspberry buttercream filling and fondant. This is actually my first fondant covered cake. Usually, I do buttercream with fondant accents.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
My little guy and I whipped this together today for hubby's bday tomorrow. Not too bad for such a rushed cake with no planning. I initially was going to put "Happy Birthday Daddy" on the top, but I ran out of energy so I just went with "Dad". He'll still think its delish and he'll love it!

My sweet little boy is turning 3! (almost!)
We celebrated Charlie's 3rd birthday a bit early this year, figuring it would be easier to do with mommy 36 weeks pregnant than with a 3-ish week old (which seems somewhat impossible and which would probably mean no fancy cake and no fancy anything). I still cannot believe that my sweet baby boy is turning three soon. I heard once that when you are a parent, the days go slowly but the years fly by.
So.Very.True.
Charlie is loving Thomas Trains these days, so a Thomas Train party it was. We decided to have his party at a local kiddie play area, which meant that I was just in charge of the food, cake and favors. With pinterest and cakecentral as my starting points, the party planning started weeks ago. It is safe to say that every minute of my time these past few weeks that wasn't spent working or preparing for the arrival of Charlie's little brother was spent on Charlie's party. There were a LOT of late nights and early mornings working on Charlie's party, but I wanted every single detail to be perfect for him! And, it is no secret that I love the cake making and party planning and crafty parts of all this...
Here are some pics from Charlie's party:

The trees, hills, sun and tracks and tunnel are made from Satin Ice fondant.
The clouds and grass are made from buttercream.
The rocks are chocolate.
360 degrees of decorated train cake!
And finally, singing Happy Birthday to our little boy:
Happy early birthday Charlie! I never knew just how perfect life could really be until almost 3 years ago when you came into ours and I love you so much!
