Rectal Exam Birthday Cake

So, you have to remember that I am veterinarian by trade. One of the residents at work, we'll call him "Mike" (oops that's his name!) likes to, no, loves to do rectal exams. So much so that his love inspired this cake. It was a vanilla flavored white cake with vanilla white fondant covering it. The finger is covered in chocolate icing mixed with raspberry preserves...very apropos.

Bookworm Cake

I go tthe idea for this cake from Debbie Brown's 50 Easy Party Cakes.

I had to add a second cake because it just was not enough cake for what I needed. The instructions were easy and the cake was fun to make. There are some areas that I could have added to, but I ran out of time for the finishing touches.

The cake was for my daughter's teachers at school. They seemed quite happy with the cake - no one wanted to cut into it!

Japanese Birthday

One of the interns at work loves all things Japanese. I researched how to say happy birthday to a friend in Japanese. The final cake had green non-pareils in the eyes, but I forgot to take a picture of it! The cat is a maneki - kind of cute but creepy little thing!

Martini Doberge Cake

This is the second attempt at doberge. Better but still not 100%. I am learning. The cake tasted good, though! (Of utmost importance!)

Well, Let me get the other new additions on here!
