My great grandson's 10 birthday cake.

He loves Legos, so he wanted a Legos cake. My DGD made not just the cake but all the little decorations.

And it was delicious, too.

My DGD's Cakes

I'm glad you all enjoy seeing these. Oddly enough, she has never been a sweets lover; so even though she bakes them, she doesn't eat them. When she is trying a new one she has volunteer taste testers. I live about 40 minutes away or I would be happy to help out with that! She has always been small. Before she started the business she and her aunt walked about 5 miles every morning. Since she isn't doing that now she has gained a little. She makes about 30 different kinds of cupcakes. Here are just two them. Click to enlarge. Banana Cream Chocolate Strawberry Sue

Oh it will be interesting to see what she does when she's older. My neice is similar. She loves makeup and hair. She also comes by it naturally because her mom is a hair dresser. She is in 2nd grade right now but last year on the first day of school she had a meltdown because her hair was too curly and she wanted her mom to straighten it and put it in a nice braid. She is definitely the stylish kid. The only good thing is that she is getting very good at styling her own hair and putting her own nail polish on. I can hardly wait until she wants her first tattoo. That will be funny.

Thanks to all of you for the compliments; I'll pass them on. She insists she is a cup cake baker, but people keep asking for these special cakes. And she keeps obliging. Jannie, do you happen to have a picture of your SIL's "Tiffany" box? My DGD made one a while back; it would be interesting to compare the two. Sue

Glenda, I hope we don't have an earthquake this time when I couldn't get back with some of the info about the purse.

Tobygirl: Chocolate!

Scissors, she went to Culinary School for a year or so, long years ago, but didn't start the cupcake business until around the first of this year. Like Topsy, it just growed.

Georgysmom, she really does enjoy it. She has a good rapport with her customers, which I think is part of the success she's had.

Thanks for all the nice replies. I'll pass them on.

She needs a title. How about "cake architect"?

Scissors, she didn't take any classes or anything; started with small things and progressed from there. She has surprised us with all of it.

Jemdandy, maybe "cakeitect?"

She will be set up at a local festival tomorrow, with just cupcakes. Don't know what kinds she will be taking, but she will be "introducing" her newest one: Apple Pie a la Mode. Have no idea how that can work!
