I was given free reign to design a cake for a 4th birthday tea party (from an amazing customer ;) )and came up with this design. I made the tea pot out of rice krispy treats and fondant and everything else was buttercream with fondant details. I must say this is one of my favorite girly cakes so far.<br />

I made these cute little Wufs for a groom's cake. The groom's mom ordered them for her son who graduated from NC State and sent me pictures of the bride's dress. These are non edible and are great presents since they can be kept after the cake is already eaten :) </div>

A few weeks ago I made this wedding cake for a sweet bride and her husband. The pictures I took turned out kind of dark since the lighting was not great...I think this girl needs a new camera ;) The cake was much prettier in person! I love how it turned out and the wedding was at the beautiful Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill. It was a gorgeous venue! Every other tier was triple chocolate and white almond with raspberry filling. </div>

Some sweet ladies from my church asked me to make these cookies for the ladies in their bible study. Here they are all packaged up as a sweet surprise. I hope they liked them!<br />

I recently made this cookies and small cake for a beach wedding. I love how the adirondack chairs turned out. To make them, I found a pattern (google) to make real ardirondack chairs and scaled it down to be "cake size". It was a little confusing figuring out how to put the chairs together, but I eventually figured them out. It was fun using gumpaste to make a wood working project ;) The cake was a small 6" round cake and the bride and groom cut into that and had the cookies for their guests. I couldn't find a starfish cookies cutter so I made it. You can check out how I make my cookie cutters <a href="http://triciasdarlindesigns.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-make-cookie-cutter.html" target="_blank">here</a> ! </div>

This cake was pretty exciting for me to make since my hubby and I JUST entered into the 21st century and got our first smart phones (iphones)!! I tried to get the dimensions exact on this cake so I measured mine and multiplied it by 4.<br />

I'm lovin' these little minions lately. After I made this cake, we ended up having a family movie night and I watched Despicable Me2 for the first time....it was too cute! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This cake is a 3-D cake that I made with several 8"round cakes. It is covered and decorated with fondant. </div>

I'm so excited to post about this cake topper! I think it is one of my favorites so far, although I do think that Wolf is making a mistake marrying that Ram ;) It is the first one I did that included the "officiant".<br />

The ring is one of my favorite details! The person ordering the topper asked for the bride to have a diamond ring. I didn't know how to make a diamond out of clay, but found this little jewel in my craft stash. I also have a thing for pearls, since I'm a Meredith girl and all ;) </div>

This is a beehive cake I made a few weeks ago and wish I could have actually seen the inside when it was cut. The layers were chocolate and vanilla so the inside also had a "bee" theme. It was covered with butter cream and the little bees were made out of fondant.</div>

This is quite possibly one of my most favorite cakes I have made recently! I love how it turned out, and even though I haven't seen the movie, it sure was fun to make Olaf. I made all of the snowflakes out of royal icing by piping them onto parchment paper and letting them dry over night. My favorite part of the cake is the snow sprinkles and pearls. It was quite an appropriate cake to make this week since we have had frigid temperatures and a pretty big snow storm for NC :)</div>

I made this sweet little cake and cupcakes for my friend Preethi's little boy. Landon loved watching me make it and especially liked the "baby firetrucks" (he likes to call everything little "baby") on the cupcakes.<br />

I made this fun cupcakes for Landon's sweet friend, Ezra. Landon and Ezra are only a week apart in age and have been friends since they were only a few months old (guess that isn't very long in the life of a 2 year old) ;) </div>

I love this sweet birthday cake! It was covered in all fondant and I made the little train from fondant as well. </div>

We had fun celebrating a couple of weeks ago with a Curious George themed birthday party. Landon LOVES George and I must admit that I am a big fan as well. I think what really inspired the theme though is the close resemblance Dave has to the Man in the Yellow Hat. Since Landon's birthday is about a month after Halloween we got a lot of use out of the costume.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxylG72wYAA/UqfLrW47R8I/AAAAAAAABec/Pz3ORAL4Pys/s1600/story+time+with+man+in+yellow+hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxylG72wYAA/UqfLrW47R8I/AAAAAAAABec/Pz3ORAL4Pys/s640/story+time+with+man+in+yellow+hat.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Here is the Man in the Yellow Hat during "story time". We used fabric dye to color a shirt and old pants yellow (from Goodwill). I made the hat out of card stock and spray painted it and the tie is made out of felt. On Halloween I was a banana and Landon was Curious George :)<br />
<br />
As all of Landon's little friends arrived we played in the front yard with some big bubbles....<br />

I don't know how long it will hold up in the wash, but I like how it turned out! I bought the white shirt for $3 at Wal-Mart and already had the paper...party on a budget!<br />

After the bubbles, we came in to make monkey paper bag puppets! I remember making paper bag puppets as a kid. I drew the Curious George face and printed him on our home printer. I think they turned out pretty cute, but Landon thought his was trash and threw it away. </div>

I made the "hats" by just placing a yellow cup on a yellow plate. I used some black contact paper to add the strip around the bottom of the hat. This was super easy to do and so cute! </div>

I LOVED being able to use bananas as decorations and my friend Raeanne found the fruit snacks at the Dollar Tree. Landon was so funny about them and for a while didn't want to eat George's head. </div>

I found these straws at the dollar section at Target. I totally got them for the cuteness factor because I don't think anyone actually used them (isn't that how it always goes with those fancy straws?!) My friend Amanda let me borrow the jars/cups they are in. I remember when you could buy jelly in them. </div>

Well, I must admit that I have fallen behind on keeping up with my Darlin' Designs blog. I have still been making a TON of cakes, but I want to share a new blog that I have been working on for a few months. Some of you may already heard, but we have decided to adopt a little boy from China! If you would like to read more about our adoption journey you can check out <a href="http://www.ourpotter.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">A Beautiful Mess</a><br />
<br />
I also want to fill you in on an great opportunity if you are in the market for one of my polymer clay toppers! We are currently having an online auction from Dec. 1st-10th to help raise funds for our adoption. Adoption from China cost approximately $30,000, so as you can see, we can't do it alone.<br />

Landon turned 2 on Thanksgiving, and the Saturday before we had a Curious George themed birthday party. He LOVES Curious George and well he reminds me of George. Landon is quite a curious little monkey these days. </div>

I hope to make one of these cake toppers each year for him as a birthday tradition. Hopefully it will help us remember the theme of each one of his parties (although I am not sure how he will feel at 13 with a "themed" party topper ;) ) </div>

This polymer clay topper was a ton of fun of fun to make - mainly because my hubby is a Syracuse fan and I am 100% State fan. I say 100% because Dave is a Syracuse fan first and State fan second (this is kind of riding the fence if you ask me ;) ) Anywho, the bride and groom asked me to make this for their wedding cake which just happened to be on the SAME day that State/Syracuse played. </div>
