Instead of trying to catch up on all of our progress and happenings last year, I decided to start from scratch for this year. I have some new things I want to cover, and just can't find the time to do both, so if you would like to see how much we have grown in the past 3 years, feel free to explore our website and Facebook pages.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I would like to start posting about the awesome things we have been working on in 2014, starting with the our first bridal show from January. Here are some photos of our booth!<br />
<br />
Our cake samples were: Goldilocks (Butter Vanilla cake w/Vanilla BC), Dark Queen (Chocolate Fudge cake w/Chocolate BC), & Banana Bo Peep (Banana cake w/Cream Cheese Frosting)! Everyone loved our samples and we got over a dozen weddings from this ONE event! For our first bridal show ever, I think it was definitely a success!<br />
<br />

Our Tasting Station with 6 additional buttercream flavors to sample: Strawberry, Mocha, Almond, Raspberry, Bailey's Irish Cream, & White Chocolate!! Everyone loved it, so we will definitely include the Tasting Station again next year!<br />

Every year, we throw one huge birthday party for our three children, whose birthdays are very close to each other. In fact, our oldest and youngest two children share a birthday (it was not done on purpose!), and our middle child's birthday is almost exactly one month later. The party before this one (in 2011), we threw a pirate themed birthday party, which is great for both boys and girls. This year, we went all medieval on them, and had our version of a Magical Medieval Birthday Bash! This post is the set-up post, with photos of the invites, decor, etc. I decided to post it separately, because together, it would have been too large of a post to read, and you probably would have given up before you got to the good part--the party! For our medieval theme, we had a hard time finding decorations for it (go figure..), the same way we had trouble finding pirate decorations the year before. But of course, NOW I see medieval decor literally everywhere.. *shaking my head*..<br />
<br />
For the invitations, I used parchment left over from the pirate party invitations. I decided to turn them into scrolls with a traditional wax seal. I bought the wax stamper (not sure what it's really called!) at Michael's Craft Store, along with the Martha Stewart brand gold "wax" tubes, made to use with a glue gun. The Pam was to spray the seal with, so it doesn't stick.<br />

I wrapped the printed parchment up and tied with rubber bands to get it nice and round, then I started to seal them. Unfortunately, the glitter in the glue sticks stopped up the glue gun and broke it. I tried everything to get the glitter out, to no avail. So I had to compromise...<br />

After the whole invitations fiasco, I decided to start on painting the "stone" entrance. I picked up some large moving boxes from the curb of a house down the street and used duck tape to get it large enough to draw and cut out a rounded entrance. Then, I used gray for the base, a ruler and black paint for the outline, and a small foam paint brush to get the rough-looking rock details. I bought an Easter wreath from Michael's on clearance and removed the Easter ribbon to have a nice spring colored wreath for the front door. I also used a few sprigs of faux ivy for the top corners.<br />

Then I repeated the same paint method on two large pieces of plywood for the castle walls the kids would hide behind during the "Splash of the Kingdoms" water balloon fight!</div>

For the inside, I used cardboard and different colors of scrapbook paper to make door signs for more of a "castle" feel. I used my Silhouette to cut out the letters. We put the Royal Chambers sign on my husband and my bedroom door (so no one would mistake it for the bathroom).<br />

For the back door and bathroom, we labeled them the Courtyard and Privy. We also made some extras to put on the laundry room and closet doors. I love the Dungeon sign. Hehehe..<br />

For a couple months before the party, I started trolling the local thrift stores for gold, silver, and pewter colored platters and dishes for the medieval feast. I scored big! Check out the awesome sword I found for $13! Yes, you read that right. $13 bucks!<br />

For one of our party favors, we had inflatable swords (from Oriental Trading), and plastic shields & armor (from the Dollar Tree) for the knights. For the girls, I made these flower headbands. We had them hanging up by the front door, so each fair maiden could pick out their favorite, then have their photo taken! Here are a few of the headbands I made..<br />

The first cake was for a couple who came to me after moving up their wedding at the last minute due to military obligations. I love the "fishing" topper they chose! The groom was gracious enough to share the following recently on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/storybookbakery" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page:<br />
<br />

This wedding cake was for a couple getting married and having their reception at the amazingly beautiful <a href="http://norfolkbotanicalgarden.org/" target="_blank">Botanical Gardens</a>. We did a 3-tier, offset (tiers are not aligned), with fresh roses and a his & hers ring topper. The bride gave me a small ring for the "hers" and I used photos of the groom's ring to replicate and intertwine "his" ring.<br />

I had the absolute pleasure of making the journey down to Charlotte, North Carolina last May to watch one of my best friends marry her soul mate! Traveling with a wedding cake is no easy feat, so the entire thing was assembled and decorated there. I had a blast at her wedding and am so thankful to her photographer, <a href="http://tbrewerphotography.wix.com/home" target="_blank">Tracy Brewer Photography</a> for these fantastic photos of the cake & the couple! Enjoy!<br />

I have put the blog on the back burner lately and I didn't even realize how far behind I have become. A lot has happened for Storybook Bakery in the almost a whole year since my last post. So I am going to try to post a little of everything that we have done, starting with some of the older cakes & desserts.<br />
<br />
This surfboard cake was a replica of the actual surfboard owned by the birthday boy!<br />

Pirate CookiesI love doing decorated cookies, especially themed cookies! I was super excited when I got a call for pirate themed cookies. I had recently bought a pirate ship cookie cutter that I couldn't wait to use, and I also dug out a treasure chest cutter, flag cutter, and bought a skull cutter for the pirate skulls. I am very happy with the way they came out, especially the treasure maps. When I do pirate cookies in the future, I will try out a different treasure chest, maybe one with a round lid instead of square.<br />

It is a cake we did last Fall for a Baby's 1st Birthday with a harvest theme. We did a Butter Vanilla cake with Chocolate Buttercream filling and frosting. The same flavors were used for the baby smash cake and it was decorated to match the main cake. We received beautiful remarks from the family on the cake.

It is disappointing to the customer and leaves them with no cake just days before the party. Unfortunately, this happened to me a couple months ago. I got an Upper Respiratory Infection and my husband was out to sea, so I was unable to fulfill an order for a birthday cake. I was looking forward to that cake because it was my last tiered cake of the year. I had purchased supplies for it and just days before it was due, I had to cancel it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My client was disappointed, of course, but was also very understanding, which I appreciated more than anything. Although she didn't get the cake she wanted, she made good of the situation and when she mentioned her husband was returning from deployment soon, I offered to make a cake for her family. Of course, it can't make up for the original birthday cake, but my client loved it and I was glad to make it for her! Welcome home to her sailor!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We were asked to make a cake for Myana's 4th birthday! Her theme was Princess Dora, and her party colors where pink and purple. We accepted our call to action and created this cake for Myana's party. The two tier cake was decorated with Princess Dora, a castle topper, and stars on curly wires. We put "Happy 4th Birthday Myana" on the top tier in silver, but you can't see it very well in the photos. We probably should have switched the pink and purple so the inscription would have shown up better, but hindsight is always 20/20!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The cake was delivered to Myana's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. We arrived before the family and had to leave the cake with the manager until they arrived. I wish I could have met little Myana, but her mother sent this photo soon after. Just look at that smile! That's what <a href="http://www.icingsmiles.org/" target="_blank">Icing Smiles</a> is all about--hence the name!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Her son liked other sports as well and is a Georgia Bulldog fan, so we decided to incorporate all of the sports he liked onto the cake and make a jersey in the GA colors, with his name and age on it. She also added some football shaped decorated cookies to match. Unfortunately, I didn't get time to snap a picture of the cookies. Next time, though!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Here are the cakes that have kept me so busy lately!<br />
<br />
First Birthday cake designed to match the Sailor theme party decor.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmhb3KCuVSmpv3vgt3ONagqZOJUf4Kl8apoeTrmCx5qC9T8zBAqAOtUBcY4dU5n_OqO5LWFqpof2jZBQeSDF9IsjyOfBmUm1pLO_hAH_2MClR-0GP3qwkwKzPWFRRx6fQH8bsbZA0qrk/s1600/IMG_1540.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmhb3KCuVSmpv3vgt3ONagqZOJUf4Kl8apoeTrmCx5qC9T8zBAqAOtUBcY4dU5n_OqO5LWFqpof2jZBQeSDF9IsjyOfBmUm1pLO_hAH_2MClR-0GP3qwkwKzPWFRRx6fQH8bsbZA0qrk/s320/IMG_1540.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
My husband's ship requested this cake for this year's Chief Selectees. I decided at the last minute to put chocolate Navy emblems on the top corners to fill in space and later found out that the chocolate mold that is being sold as a "Navy Emblem" is in fact an Officer's Emblem. I should have know this, being Navy myself, however, the details of the mold are so small and hard to see, that I didn't realize this. The chiefs who received the cake sure did! I feel terrible that I put an officer's emblem on an enlisted service member's cake! But now that I am aware, I will not make that mistake again!<br />

The Foster-McCammon wedding had to be postponed because of Hurricane Irene, and happened to be rescheduled for the weekend of our kids' birthday party (photos of that to come next!). I was able to do a lot ahead of time so after the party was over I finished them up and delivered them to their wedding at the Virginia Beach Contemporary Arts Center. I am waiting on some professional photos from the wedding photographers, so more to come!<br />

This was for a Baby's 1st Birthday party. The mother took a few different photos she liked and combined them into this cake. I love the way the zebra print turned out and I would love to do another one!<br />

This Tea Set cake was for a bridal shower that had to be rescheduled due to Hurricane Irene. The tea set is edible and hand painted. Tea pot made of rice cereal treats and rest of pieces made entirely from fondant except for flower, which was a gumpaste fantasy orchid. The bride-to-be's name was on the tea pot, her mother and soon to be mother-in-law's names were on the sugar and cream, and the bridesmaids names were on the tea cups.<br />

A very special soon to be 15 year old contacted me about a zebra birthday cake. She chose every detail on her own and I was very impressed with her knowledge of cake! Not many 15 year old girls even know what fondant is! She wanted a purse on top so we personalized it to say "Caitlyn Couture".<br />

My two girls started preschool at our church, Oak Grove UMC, my husband bought a truck (to replace his lost in an accident last week), and I had 3 orders for this weekend! One Ruffle cake, a black forest cake, and a 2nd birthday train cake. I didn't take a photo of the Ruffle cake because I have made it before. The black forest cake was covered in Ghirardelli chocolate shavings, so I did not take photos of it either because it was generically decorated. The train cake, however, was completely new! Here are a few photos.<br />
