So that mean, cake for 65 people. And sheet cakes....I don't particularly like sheet cakes, they are boring ;) But I took the time to make gumpaste flowers for her cake. They are so time consuming and these cakes took me all day yesterday assembling and making flowers (yes I'm still learning and hopefully can get faster at this). I also need to perfect writing on cakes, not too good at that. And I had some issues with the cakes themselves, but overall, I think she will like them. I made her favorite flowers, Gardenias and favorite colors in peach and light aqua, and even another sheet cake because her favorite cake is german chocolate, mine too! Good Choice! Hope she likes it, Happy Birthday Grandma!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8730248641209678578-6382720975242110900?l=thecakedivas.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/feeds/6382720975242110900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/2010/03/grandmas-80th-birthday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8730248641209678578/posts/default/6382720975242110900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8730248641209678578/posts/default/6382720975242110900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/2010/03/grandmas-80th-birthday.html' title='Grandma&apos;s 80th Birthday'/><author><name>Colby and Amber Vanderbeek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12838645949001006906</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/S6_IA-2VtbI/AAAAAAAACR8/bKp1cTo55Co/s72-c/choc+cake.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730248641209678578.post-1423895609505121822</id><published>2010-01-23T18:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-23T18:08:41.321-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SpongeBob Snowpants!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/S1uro2-W8fI/AAAAAAAACHU/S7Lc-Nzuh-o/s1600-h/DSC_4961.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430122494165447154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/S1uro2-W8fI/AAAAAAAACHU/S7Lc-Nzuh-o/s400/DSC_4961.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My little man turned 8 years old today, and of course wanted a Spongebob cake!

And of course I wanted to, I need the practice! So this is what I came up with for her! It turned out cute and I was quite pleased with it, for my first square tiered cake! &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315347045878112818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/ScPn-e98ojI/AAAAAAAAAmM/zN5uMDqm200/s320/Coleton+cake.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this cake was definitely a learning experiment.  My nephew &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Coleton&lt;/span&gt; turned 3 and they wanted a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;geo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;trax&lt;/span&gt; cake for him. So I had it all envisioned out in my mind of what I wanted to do. Of course, it's all easier said than done. It didn't quite go as I had expected and turned out to be a little harder than I'd hoped for.  And it didn't help when the fondant I used was too soft, kept tearing and just was not very workable.  I will never use that kind again!  But in the end, if you don't look too close, it's pretty cute!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8730248641209678578-268463506978696228?l=thecakedivas.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/feeds/268463506978696228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/2009/03/birthday-cakes.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8730248641209678578/posts/default/268463506978696228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8730248641209678578/posts/default/268463506978696228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecakedivas.blogspot.com/2009/03/birthday-cakes.html' title='Birthday cakes!'/><author><name>Colby and Amber Vanderbeek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12838645949001006906</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/ScPn92bWLlI/AAAAAAAAAmE/1kW4ftWqmkE/s72-c/mom+birthday+cake.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730248641209678578.post-5286435287710697223</id><published>2009-03-01T14:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T13:34:50.794-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My first masterpiece!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/SasKYWgGbZI/AAAAAAAAAkc/eZ6sksIQ_ec/s1600-h/cake+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308347999259618706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmDTb4zkTL0/SasKYWgGbZI/AAAAAAAAAkc/eZ6sksIQ_ec/s320/cake+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For my hubby's 30th birthday, I created my first masterpiece! I had so much fun doing it, although it took all day painting and shaping!  But it turned out awesome and I was quite proud!  He loved it!  He even cut his "stump" with an electric saw....it was funny!  Anyway, I have been taking courses on cake decorating and am so excited to get started on making these my own little hobby/business. So, the practice begins! Soon, I hope to open up shop and sell!
