Hi everyone!! I have had one crazy week here, so I haven't had the chance to get very creative. I do have a birthday cake that I made for my grandmother's 80th birthday. I cut the flowers, leaves, and sentiment on my Cricut Cake machine with gum paste and two of the Martha Stewart Cake art cartridges.
The cake is chocolate and the frosting is butter cream. I used three 13 inch round cake pans to create this cake. The flowers and butterfly are all molded and dried before I applied them to the cake to help them stand up a little bit. I dotted the center of the flowers with some of the left over butter cream frosting. I know that she just loved it!! My grandmother is an amazing woman and I know that most of my crafting talent comes from her. Happy Birthday Grandma!!
On a sad note, I lost my beloved pet dog and best friend this last week. It has been really hard for me to get over it and I am really going to miss her.....she was my shadow and I don't feel quite the same without her following me everywhere. Her name was Cassie and she was 11 years old. Good by my SWEET friend!!
Hugs,
Amy

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you lost your Cassie, my dog is also my shadow and she is getting old and I really dred the day that she is gone. A lot of people can't understand that when you lose a pet it is like losing a member of your family, this pet is with you everyday and gives you all their love no matter what. She looks like she was a beautiful dog.

Hello Amy,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend Cassie. I know exactly what your going through. I lost mine a couple of years ago and I still think of him often. Hand in there, it will get easier.

Take care,

Oh Amy I"m so sorry to hear about your precious furry friend. We call our dog and cat our furry kids. They are surely our kids as we're old kids ourselves and those two really keep us going. They give so much love. We had to have our black cocker put to sleep 2 years ago now and I still miss her. She was such a character and went everywhere with us. We got her on a Wed. and on Saturday hubs, her and I left on a few weeks trucking trip. She was such a hoot in that truck. The mischief she got into. She was a little over 14 when she died. It's so hard, I know. I don't remember if I left you a condolence but I'm doing so now. It takes awhile to get used to not having them. It took me months before I was able to even think about getting another dog. You'll have so many wonderful if hurtful memories of her but cherish them. They only get to be in our lives for such a short time. She looks like such a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your beautiful sweet Cassie. She looks like such a sweet dog. It is amazing how they become such a big part of our lives-take care Amy...sending prayers and hugs your way.
ReplyDeleteYour cake is just beautiful that your made for your Grandma. It looks so pretty with the flowers. Nice job!
Take care,
