My brother’s birthday was a few weeks ago and I wanted to make him a special cake. As I though of all the shows he loved (Bones, House, and Scrubs), then I thought of a perfect cake to make for him, a Sons of Anarchy Cake. This cake was easy to make. For the Son’s of Anarchy Crew and logos I found images online and cut them out. While lamenting them is not necessary I decided to do it anyway (I figured he wanted to keep them). I found laminating sheets at Hobby Lobby on sale for only 50 cents a sheet. After I got done laminating it I taped skewers on the back so they could stick into the cake.
Then I bake a cake in a 13×9 inch pan as direct by box. After the cake has cooled I frostedthe cake. At this point add any writing on the cake with a tip 4, but this is optional. I pre wrote the words with a skewer and traced them with frosting. Finally I added a shell border with tip 21. I suggest frosting the cake, writing, adding a shell border, and then adding your print outs in this order to avoid sticking your in the cake (I have done this before). While this show is not family friendly my brother and I love it. This cake makes a perfect birthday cake or a great dessert to bring to SOA Premier party (It returns September 6th on FX). If you have great cake ideas or tips please share them with me!

I love making felt food. Felt food is cheap to make and is a better alternative to buying “store bought” toys for children. While this would make a perfect birthday or Christmas gift (yes, I said the “C” word, a word we are not allowed to say until a few week before Thanksgiving). For this project you will need felt scraps, scrapbook paper and an old pasta box.
I pinched the squares in the middle and sewed them in place. Then I covered the box and scrapbook paper and filled it with pasta. This would make such a cute birthday gift for kids. Do be careful what age you give this gift too because the pasta can be a choking hazard. Happy Crafting 🙂

On an earlier post I made I cookie monster cake for my cousin’s birthday. I also made cookie monster cupcakes to go along with it. I first cut 1/4 of a chips ahoy normal size cookie off so that there would be a flat edge then I inserted the flat edge into the cupcake. Then I took a grass tip (tip 233) and made the fur. I used the round tip (tip 12) and made the white eyes and added the black of the eye with a smaller tip. I do warn you if you are decorating the cake the night before do not decorate with black or white frosting because it will bleed. I added the eyes on the day of the party. In the middle I used tip 1M to make the swirl and crushed up a cookie and sprinkled it on there and added the candles.

With spring almost here I always look for desserts that that have a lighter flavor. The cake I made here is a lemon cake (I used box mix and frosting). I simply frosted the cake and added a shell border (tip 21). To top it off I twisted a slice of lemon and added mint leaves. Although I did not do this last time I would suggest refrigerating your cake

I was at Sam’s Club and I saw a beautiful strawberry cake. I thought to myself I could easily make a cake similar to that. To start off I made two round white cakes. I bought strawberry gel at Walmart (it was by the bakery) and mixed fresh. I piped cool whip on the top of the first cake one inch (inward) from the side and filled it with the strawberry gel mixture. The reason why you do this is when you put the second cake on top of the first one it will not slid out of the edges. If it does slide just clean off the side of the cake (this has happened to me several times). The refrigerate the cake for one hour. Take the cake out of the fridge and frosting it with cool whip. If you have leftover strawberry gel mixture put it in the center of the cake and use the tip 1M (cup cupcake tip) and make a border around it. Do not forget to refrigerate this cake. 
My mother loves key lime pie, so for her birthday one year she wanted a birthday pie instead of cake. I went and got a store bought key lime pie, but I was not satisfied, because it wasn’t decorated. So I added happy birthday candles, her favorite miniature candy bars and I curled some ribbon to add to the pie. This is a quick, easy way to spruce up a cake, or even a pie. 
My cousin wanted me to make her a cookie monster birthday cake. I was intimated at first after seeing many ideas online, but this cake was one of the easiest cakes I have ever made. I made a 2 layered round cake and frosting the middle layer. Then I took a grass tip (tip 233) and made the fur. I used the largest round tip and made the eyes and mouth then I added the cookies. I do warn you if you are decorating the cake the night before do not decorate with black or white frosting because it will bleed. I added the eyes and mouth the day of the party.

My brother loves the show Scrubs. So one year for his birthday I made him a scrubs cake. I lot of the time my cakes are put together based on what I could find. Originally I wanted to do a Dexter cake (cartoon), but it did not end up working. So I ended up looking at the toys and found a doctor’s kit and the scrubs themed cake came together.
I first made a double layered round cake, frosting it, and did a shell border (tip 21). Then at the dollar general I found a child’s play doctor kit with plastic toys, I also found gum shaped as bandages. I then printed out the picture and decorated the cake.
