Putting together my portfolio
Right now I am putting this together to show my portfolio, as of now I am making cakes for fun, and not profit. I am trying to make myself better, and learn something new each time I make a different cake. If you would like for me to make a cake please let me know and I will see what I can come up with.
What's Going on?
Well we did a Disney Car's cake for our buddy Max, and it turned out pretty good. Still learning to work with fondant, and ways to make the cakes look cleaner. I don't think Max realized that it was a cake at first and then he was ready to tear into it once he found out it was cake.
We really enjoyed doing this cake as my wife and I work real well together as a team, and I hope this added a little extra something to Max's birthday that he will look back on and think that was pretty cool.

We've gone Topsy Turvy here!
We had a lot of fun doing the topsy turvy cake for my wife's cousin's "Sweet Sixteen" Birthday party. It was funny to hear that most kids guessed that the cake cost around $1K, but we did it for free. Very time consuming cake, and I think we did close to 200 fondant balls and I couldn't tell you how many zebra stripes I cut. It ended up being 9 tiers and it made a 3 1/2 hr drive to Eastern Kentucky. I have a couple of orders coming in, but nothing coming up soon, I think I will be doing a flower pot cake, and maybe a UK Wildcat Head (ought to be interesting).
My Green Thumb
This is about as close as I can get to really growing a flower. I don't have much of a green thumb, but I was able to make this flower pot cake almost 100% edible from the pot to the lady bug, and the petals.
I really had a blast making this cake. I got to do somethings that I had not done before, and learned some stuff along the way. I absolutely loved the look on everyone's face when I brought the cake in, and when they heard it was all edible they couldn't believe it. I really hope this made a birthday even more specail for India, and her friends.
I always have people ask me if I watch "The Cake Boss" or "Ace of Cakes", and the answer to that is YES! Probably a little too much, but this is one way I am learning to make each cake better, and help me grow.
I love watching these shows because these guys are true artist that are incredible in what they do. I can only hope that one day I would be as good as they are.

It's that time of the year
The crisp cool air has hit central Kentucky, Keenland is in full swing, and Christmas decoration's are already out (I don't know why). Halloween will be here in a few weeks, and we are trying to get our goofy 3 yr old son ready to be a clown.
I am also going to be doing pumpkin cakes for anyone that would like to order one for your Halloween get together for $30. I will need to have all request at least one week in advance, so if you want to shock your family and friends with an awesome pumpkin cake, please send me an email to [email protected]
Happy Halloween All!!!!

Arr Ye Mattey's!
Next month is his 4th birthday. I have been instructed that we will be doing a Pirate Ship birthday cake for our pirate themed birthday party, and "Shiver me Timbers" I have never done anything like this, however every cake I have done is a new adventure for me; so I am going to make a big pirate ship cake. Anyone that was at his 3rd birthday party remembers that the Handy Manny tool box I did could have easily fed 50-60 people so with a huge pirate ship I am estimating that this will feed approximately 100 people.
So batten down the hatches, Hoist your sails, walk the plank, and Yo, Ho, Ho, Ho, and a bottle of rum we are going to have fun with this one.
I may also be doing a cake for a Cincinnati Bangles fan, and I have a few other people that have mentioned needing a cake
