Toy Story Lollicakes


I've been wanting to take Kailyn to see Toy Story 3 but so far we haven't made it there - I guess we will be seeing it on DVD now. The next best thing to seeing it though? How about making some Toy Story Lollicakes. Bakerella posted some adorable Toy Story cupcake pops - check out her sight on how to make them - so I tried them out for an upcoming birthday. I wasn't too thrilled with my Hamm Lollicake...but Mr. Potatoe Head made up for him! You have to work fast on putting him together though because there is so much to put on him...as I made him, I kept getting images of Cliff from Cheers (he was the voice of Hamm). All in all...I would say Woody and Buzz might just get a little jealous that there aren't Lollicakes of them!

My Lollicake Princess!


Oh, I remember when I was able to tease her with wrapped Lollicakes...she is growing up so quickly! Kailyn still loves to help out in the kitchen - and she loves to eat the cake truffles before they become Lollicakes!

Pop-Pop-Popcorn Buckets!


I am doing a rehearsal dinner this coming weekend - and the theme colors are red and white. One of the designs the MOG picked was my popcorn bucket...They turned out adorable - even if I didn't get to spray on the yellow "buttered" look!!!

Pinkalicious Lollicakes

My granddaughter, Kailyn, loves the book Pinkalicious! She can pretty much recite it to you when it is being read to her. She loves pink-pink-pink so I decided to make her some Pinkalicious Lollicakes! I did them so that they have a pink cherry cake as the cake truffle.

Busy...busy...busy!

We've been busy making Lollicakes...we have done two bridal shows, lots of birthdays, baby showers, wedding receptions, and we are doing the Mother's Day Brunch at CB & Potts. We are feeling just a wee bit tired...but we do appreciate all the business.  Here are some pics of what we have been up to in the last few months...

Drug Dogs Called in for Unclaimed Bag!



Recently an unclaimed bag at DIA was cause for quite a lot of excitement...TSA scanned the bag and were unsure what the round balls on sticks were so they called in the drug dogs to sniff them out before opening up the suitcase. The dogs went wild - barking and jumping up and down in excitement. According to their trainers, this behavior was not indicative of dangerous materials within the suitcase. The bomb squad was called and they slowly unzipped the bag and discovered - wait for it -
hundreds of LOLLICAKES! They were decorated beautifully in sparkling swirls of sugar in all the colors of the rainbow. The squad had difficulty holding back the dogs and the other members of the team as they rushed the bag for a sample of the unclaimed stash...thankfully, no one was harmed. The bag was returned to its' owner who stated that the bag had been stolen earlier in the day by a fellow by the name of Willy Wonka....ok, just kidding! These 336 Lollicakes are heading up to Vail, Colorado, for Brian and Bethany's Team in Training for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Marathon fundraiser. Thanks to all of you up in Vail who have supported them - and thanks to Team Lollicake for making this possible!

Adogable Lollicakes!


Recently I was asked if I could do some type of Lollicake arrangement for - wait for it - a doggie birthday party. Sheila loves her puppy, Bungee, and Sheila loves Lollicakes so she wanted to have a special treat for Bungee's birthday party. I knew I could create some cute doggie Lollicakes...and seriously considered actually processing some dog biscuits so that Bungee could have his own Lollicake - but then I thought that would still be a little too much sugar for the sweet puppy. I made up some doggie Lollicakes in brown and white just like Bungee so that he could share them with his "human" guests and then dipped doggie biscuits in vanilla so that Bungee's friends could have some treats too! So - Happy Birthday Bungee from The Lollicake Bakeshop!!!
