I haven't posted in a while!

I'm pretty pooped out from dancing all night last night at a FABULOUS wedding, so this is going to be brief.  I took a cake hiatus to prepare myself for this coming month.
Last night I did my second wedding cake...well, it was kind of my first since this was the first one I was paid for.  It was SO stressful but I did like that it came out looking like the picture the bride provided and that the tablecloth I made fit so well!

Hm.  Let's see, did I make any cakes since the Father's Day cake?  YES!  I made a cake for my Father-in-Law's birthday.  It was a fun little cake and it was completely custom.
I don't know that I can go into all the details that made this cake perfect for him, but I'll tell you what it is.  It's him sitting in his LaZboy with his headphones on, knitting a new car.  Around him are three of his grandchildren (he is raising the two girls with my Mother-in-Law) causing mayhem.  He is smiling.  It's like cracking a code...but MIL LOVED it and FIL saved the topper!  Here he is...see the resemblance?
