If you know me, you know that I love making first birthday cakes. I love how colorful and playful the themes tend to be. For this cake I was given creative freedom to do whatever I wanted, as long as it fed 20 people, mango was used in the filling and had an elephant front and center. Easy peasy!<br>

I think my favorite thing about making cakes is the journey. From vague idea to the exact &quot;ah ha!&quot; moment when I can envision the cake in my head is a truly magical process. It can take days, hours, weeks or just moments. I sketch ideas on random pieces of paper, I see my hands press and pull gum paste into shapes as I go on my morning run, I dream of cake. Sometimes I&#39;ll think I have a concept completely solidified but I&#39;ll see something that catches my eye like an illustrated children&#39;s book or a funky bookend on Etsy and my mind is busy again.<br>

It&#39;s been a long time since I&#39;ve made my little whales and it was so much fun! I forgot just how cute these little whales were. This time around I made them for <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2013/05/biplane-birthday.html" target="_blank">Konrad</a> who was celebrating his second birthday. His party theme this year was All Things In the Sea and the whales were a perfect fit. You might remember these little guys from a <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2009/03/whale-of-cupcake.html#.UgrKWKyE5B8" target="_blank">few years ago</a> when I first made them. It was then that I also invented my <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2009/03/sincere-strawberry-cupcakes" target="_blank">Sincere Strawberry Cupcakes</a> which I also made for Konrad. I topped all the cupcakes with a very generous dollop of Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream.<br>

A few weeks ago I received an email from Debbie to make a very special cake to celebrate the upcoming birth of her very first grandchild. The theme for the shower was &quot;monsters&quot; but the design of the cake was totally open. I wanted to find a good balance between being uber cute (like the one I made for <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2013/01/mikeys-little-monster-1st-birthday.html" target="_blank">Mikey&#39;s first birthday)</a> and sophisticated. When Debbie showed me the <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9XZz1jPOJ1o/UcfEhEvvxDI/AAAAAAAAKWo/9y9P79f2BpY/s400/IMG_0581.JPG" target="_blank">invitation she made</a>, I was instantly inspired.</div>

Oh how delighted I am to share photos from Ava&#39;s 6th birthday party! Isn&#39;t it just delightful? Ava&#39;s theme was cheerleading and some cheerleaders from the local high school came to teach all the party guests some cheer fundamentals. Several of the girls dressed in the most adorable little cheerleading outfits. Pink is Ava&#39;s favorite color so everything was pink, pink and more pink! I made pink funfetti cake (pink cake with red, white and pink sprinkles), pink raspberry French macaroons and of course pink cake pops, each adorned in a various shades of pink sugar and sprinkles. I think Ava&#39;s mom did a supreme job decorating! It felt as though I was on a set of a magazine shoot.<br>

I&#39;ve gotten a bit behind on my blog posts. I hope you can forgive me! I was going through my photos, when I realized that I never posted this charmer. Last year on an extremely warm and sunny Seattle summer day, I had the honor of baking Konrad&#39;s first birthday cake, complete with a kitschy banner tolling biplane. </div>

Monsters have invaded my kitchen but don&#39;t worry, they don&#39;t bite. Instead you get to bite them! Last year I was asked to make a <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2011/11/happy-bee-day.html">baby shower cake</a>, cupcakes and cake pops for Mikey&#39;s parents, eagerly anticipating Mikey&#39;s arrival. Now, a little over a year later , I was asked to help with another big event: Mikey&#39;s very first birthday. It&#39;s such an honor!<br>

I&#39;ve wanted to make this cake for a very long time. One afternoon while I was shopping for for a baby shower gift basket I was putting together, I grabbed a ring stack toy (officially it&#39;s called a Rock-A-Stack) and tossed it into my cart. As it sailed through the air and joined the other gifts it occurred to me that this iconic toy&#39;s shape and color scheme would make the perfect cake. It was all there, just begging to be &quot;cake-ified&quot;, complete with its individual ring layers and bright happy colors.<br>

This past Saturday I attended a baby shower for my dear friend Noella. It seems like it was just last month that <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2007/03/noella-got-married-cookies.html" target="_blank">she went to Kaua&#39;i for vacation and came back married to her best friend John.</a> My how time flies! She&#39;s pregnant with her first child, a baby girl and is due in a few short weeks. I&#39;ve been anticipating making this cake since I found out she was pregnant. I just couldn&#39;t wait to celebrate this big event in her life.<br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A few months ago, on an unusually stormy and humid afternoon in June, I had a cake order due for a pool party themed birthday party. <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2010/10/sam-tylers-cherries-jubilee-cake.html" target="_blank">Samantha</a> was turning ten and she was having a big party to celebrate.

<span class="firstlet">O</span>ne seemingly normal February day, I received a friendly email and a cake order inquiry from Val, a fellow baker. While this does happen from time to time, this one was rather peculiar because Val was from England! A full 4800+ miles from me! Val explained that her son lived in Seattle and she wanted a surprise birthday cake for her daughter-in-law Abi. I was so excited, I couldn&#39;t write Val back fast enough to get more details. After a few emails back and forth, her cake order was finalized and I had my very first transatlantic order!<br>

I was immediately interested because baby shower cakes usually offer the most creative challenges and have thus become my favorite type of party cake to make. However when Shauna told me that she wanted something with &quot;...flowers and butterflies in soft pinks and lavenders...&quot; I was a little deflated.

To help me get calibrated to the way she made her hearts, Aliana drew me several hearts just to help me get inspired. Big colorful, curvy, bubbly, slanted hearts filled several pages of paper and some even had smiley faces on them! Kristina, Aliana&#39;s proud mom, told me that sometimes Aliana liked to add a little bumpy border to the outside of hearts too.<br>

Last Tuesday night I took a chance and responded to a &quot;cake wanted&quot; ad on Craigslist. Michelle was planning a surprise pig-themed party for her husband who was graduating from the Police Academy and was looking for someone to make a cake for the big event.<br>

Guess what?! This is my 150th post, woo hoo! Boy that&#39;s a lot, huh? Sometimes I look at this blog and I can hardly believe that it&#39;s mine. Speaking of which, have no noticed how little I&#39;ve been posting lately? Well, I think I the baking blahs. Maybe it&#39;s just the warm days of summer? Who knows! I am not saying that I&#39;m going to stop blogging, but I think I just need a little break from it for a while so don&#39;t be alarmed if you don&#39;t see anything new from me between now and the beginning of August. My hope is that with a nice long break, I&#39;ll come back ready and raring to go. Knowing me, I&#39;ll probably be back to posting well before then. <br>

You see, Stephanie had ordered two cakes to celebrate two birthdays: one for her husband Roger that was decorated with a mountain biking theme, and a second one for their friend Gavin who is a die hard Liverpool Soccer Club fan. Stephanie was trying to keep it a surprise but eventually had to spill the beans.<br>

I usually try to post more often but lately it&#39;s been really hard for me to blog.
