David's Birthday Cake!

I'm still catching up on cakes I've done in the past.  This cake was made for sweet David, our best friends' son.  You could say that David really pushed my baby fever over the edge...there are almost exactly 9 1/2 mos between David and Oliver!! :)

I had so much fun doing this.  It was still one of my first cakes.  When I used my Pooh shaped pan for Oliver's birthday, all the details imprinted onto the cake when I flipped it out.  When I flipped out this cake, NONE of the details came out!! So it was all free-handed.  I was nervous about how it would look but it turned out well and he loved it, so that was all that mattered! I love the way the checkered flag sides turned out.

Leftovers...

Jay loves my white cake, so I decided to make him one and use leftover icing I had in the fridge. I really had no vision for this cake other than the big swirl on the top.  About halfway through Oliver decided he needed to help so it was quickly finished on the side.  Oh well, it was fun and Jay loved it!
