Happy Birthday CakeCrazy Edible Art!

This Memorial Day weekend makes 2 years since I entered into this crazy world of cakes!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. 
I hope that everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!  It looks like we will finally have some nice weather here in Ohio, so take advantage of it and spend some quality time hang'in out with the family!
Above all, remember why we have this holiday....THANK YOU to all who protect and serve this country, and to those who gave their lives!!!

"The Crazy Season"

I know most of us grew up thinking there were just four seasons in the year, but I am making it official...there are 5!!  It's that time from the end of April till the beginning of July when there are all of the Graduations, Birthdays and Weddings.  By mid-July I need a vacation and usually ask myself again, why I do this, but the answer is always that I love it!
I will be posting more that one picture on here when I have time to post, so be sure to check out each category to see whats new!

Happy Easter!!

April is such a busy month with all of the birthdays and activities.  I have had some really fun and interesting cakes this month and I am really looking forward to some down time with the family this weekend!
Graduation is coming up soon and I have several cakes booked for that and a couple of weddings coming up in June that I am looking forward to!
I hope everyone has a very happy Easter weekend!!

Spring? Is that you?

I think spring is here!  It is a beautiful sunshiny day and the birds are starting to sing.  It is amazing how a little sunshine puts you in a better mood!
I have had some requests from those who visit my blog often, to put the most recent picture where it is easier to find.  So, I will always put the most recent on the front page!  If I have more than 1, you can find the most recent will be the first cake pictured in each category.  Hope this helps!

Ready for Spring!!

This seams like the longest winter ever!!  I have had enough of the snow and below freezing temps, bring on the sunshine and warm weather!!  December and January were a little slower for cake orders, but it was a much needed break.  Things are starting to pick up again here in February!  I usually only need about a weeks notice if you want to order a cake, but as it gets closer to Graduations and Wedding season, you may need to call earlier.  I do my best to accommodate everyone, but sometimes, I have to say no.  I don't like to, but I can only handle a certain number of cakes at a time.  The earlier you place your order, the better.
I am loving the new page design for the site!  I think it is much more user friendly!  I appreciate all of the compliments on the look of it!
I have several exciting new cakes coming up, so check back often!

New Page Design

WooHooo!!!!  The blogger Gods must have heard my prayers!  Finally, a way for me to have tabs you can click on to view the cakes by theme!!!  Hope this make it easier for everyone to find what they are looking for!

Crazy Holiday Season

It is almost Christmas!  I cannot believe how fast this year has gone.  My oven is begging for mercy right about now as I have been baking like a mad woman the past 5 days.  I had 3 cakes and 6 dozen cookies to make! Oh yea, and somewhere in all this madness, I managed to get all of the shopping done..wrapped...and under the tree before Christmas Eve!  That is a first for me!  I usually am up very late on Christmas eve finishing up everything!
I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!!

3-D Cakes

As you can see, I have been doing more of the 3-D or carved cakes lately!  I am enjoying this challenge as it really pushes me to think outside of the box.  Some cakes have been more difficult and frustrating than others.  I will be honest...a few I have wanted to throw against the wall!  LOL!  But, in the end, I always learn something new!   I am not afraid to try anything, so if you have an idea, let me know!
I have also started to dabble in using some candy molds for some of the decorations on cupcakes. (see Halloween Cupcakes)  These are very fun and yummy! 
We are coming up on the holiday season so quickly!  I cannot believe it is mid November already! I guess I better get started on my Christmas shopping soon! :)
Have a Great Thanksgiving everyone!

Fall is here!

With another school year under way and football in full swing, I do believe fall is upon us!  I have a love/hate relationship with fall.  I love the cooler weather, the golden color of the cornfield across the road, the football on the weekends and the changing of the leaves.  What I hate is the effect it has on my allergies!!

While August and September have been rather slow for cakes, October is looking like it will be quite busy! It is interesting when I look back over the past year to be able to see what months tend to be busy and which ones are not.  I am starting to see trends as I can now compare this year to last year.  This should make it easier for me to know what to expect for a coming month!

I have several unique themed cakes coming up that I am very excited to do!  I will post those pictures as soon as they are done!

Where did summer go?

I can't believe it is August already!!  I had a nice week and a half of vacation the end of July and then dove right back into this crazy cake world of mine!  Tackled my 1st. BIG wedding with a 3-tier cake and 4 sheet cakes.  Wow....it was alot of work, but worth it!  Now on to several birthdays and the start of another school year!!
