Wanted to let my daughter-in-law have a chance to post a photo of her own cake, to her Tumblr Till You Run Out of Cake, but she’s been too busy working at the bakery to do so!
Last year, she did a Charlie Chaplin cake as well…it was for a woman who had met Chaplin when she was a child, and was an event that had a lot of impact for her. And it was her 99th birthday…
We-ell…THIS Chaplin cake? Notice the ‘100’—yes, it’s for the SAME woman! Here’s hoping this becomes a series…
(I’m including a link to Chaplin—Ty and I were at the bank one day and somehow got talking about people whose fame completely outlasts their lifetime. The teller was completely confused as to who Charlie Chaplin was no matter how Ty tried to explain him. So, perhaps The Little Tramp’s time is up?)
I’ve been trying to be good and not post photos until my daughter-in-law got the time to do so—but she’s too busy decorating MORE cakes to have the time right now. THIS is the cake she made for my son’s 16th birthday—Umbrella Corp from Resident Evil (he’s currently obsessed with the latest version of the game). And yes, those are severed arms sticking out the sides. My favourite is a little hand creeping up onto the number ‘6’.
Taylor was awed, amazed and slightly creeped out! The arms were on toothpicks so another of my kids pulled one out and posed with it sticking out of his mouth. My daughter actually got so creeped out that she asked me to “pull the arm” off her piece of cake before she could eat it.
(if you like this cake, follow Jess’ Tumblr Till You Run Out of Cake. She posts more of her designs there…)

I got to do a “Jasmine” inspired engagement cake. They got a ridiculous deal because they asked me to design it, THEN told me the budget when I was already too excited to say no
Holy cow. Every part of this is amazing.I can’t believe that flower!
My daughter-in-law (Till You Run Out Of Cake)came over for her birthday dinner…and brought her own cake! She had the box thoroughly taped up so no one could peek, “so it will be a surprise for everyone else when I bring it to the table.” She made the characters Anders and Fenris from Dragon Age 2, one of her favourite video games.
