2010 Palma High School Graduation – Topsy Turvy Cake
Norma wanted a special cake for the graduation party they were having for her son. I love it when I talk to mom’s and you can tell how much love and pride they have in their children because it just oozes out of them. I could just tell how much Josh meant to Norma and how special she wanted this to be for him.
I am IN LOVE with how this cake turned out.
I love the topsy turvy whimsical-ness of it.
I love the bright colors.
I love the wording.
I love the personalized details.
It was such a fun cake to make. I feel like I get to know the person it’s for on a more personal level when the cake includes personalized items.
And I really like it.
It’s a really neat feeling to know that when Josh saw his cake, he was going to have a connection and memory to every single item. It’s as if you’re getting close to someone you’ve never met thru your artistry and it makes me want to make it that much more spectacular.
Congratulations Josh!

Pharmacy School Graduation Cupcakes
Dr. Travis Rose.
That is now Amy’s husbands official title.
He graduated from Pharmacy school this past weekend and in order to celebrate the occassion, they were throwing a brunch and no brunch is complete without cupcakes for dessert! Amy and I threw a few ideas around and decided on making a grad cap, diploma, pills and RX pad for the cupcake toppers. She was so great to work with and it was fun to see the table come together!
Congratulations to you both!!! If I ever need pills…..LOL. I kid, I kid.
Cupcakes: Chocolate and Strawberry
Icing: Standard Buttercream
Toppers: Diploma and grad cap- paper; pills – fondant with the words impressed; RX pad- fondant with edible ink prescription
There are also cookie bags for the kiddos- I did them in a surf/beach theme. They are M&M/chocolate chip cookies with a surfboard nametag.

Cameron’s Graduation
My husband’s Aunt asked me to make Cameron’s graduation cake. Cameron is really close to our family, my boys love him and him and my husband are like two peas in a pod. He was graduating from the Psych Tech program in Porterville, CA.
The cake was a white pound cake with chocolate filling.
Cameron is really outdoorsy. He loves fishing and doing things outside. I felt that the camoflauge was really appropriate for him and I didn’t want the bottom tier to compete for attention so I did a really simple design.
Happy Graduation Cam. We love you! Start raking in the mula and come visit us more often!
