A friend asked me to make a cake for her father's 99th birthday and she left the design up to me. I get ideas from browsing the Internet. I wish I could dream up fantastic designs but that's just not how I work. I can however, find a design and duplicate it! Browsing the Internet for cake ideas to celebrate a man's 99th birthday returns many pictures of sheet cakes with lovely roses and other flowers made of frosting. Nothing was catching my eye. So, I changed my search to "modern birthday cakes". I found four designs I liked and let my friend pick her favorite. What a treat to make this cake for a dear man who has graced us with his presence for 99 years! Happy Birthday, John O.!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Who doesn't remember The Very Hungry Caterpillar book?!?! When a former co-worker asked me to make this cake for her daughter's 2nd birthday I was happy to take on the job. The decorations are made with marzipan. I have found that it takes colors so much better than fondant and it tastes better. I hope the cake was enjoyed by all!
