Last fall, the Aegela Centers for Middle Eastern Dance celebrated our 2nd Annniversary at our studio in The Common Space Too (The Martin School) 10 South Holland-Sylvania, at Hill Ave., Toledo.

This was my first 'professional' cake!!! I think she looks like a belly dancer, but I want to try again!!

Kindergarten Graduation

So, danielle and I had another cake to make. A friends' son was graduating from kindergarten and she needed a cake. We made a marble cake with a fudge frosting between the layers (yummm!).

We made the little graduation hats out of fondant and they turned out pretty well.

Cupcakes for kids!

So my friend, Danielle, found this book called Hello, Cupcake!: Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make. A VERY cool book if you are into cupcakes.

So, I am a Junior Achievement volunteer (JA is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs) and I had to make a treat for the students that I volunteer for at McGregor Elementary (Toledo, Ohio). I teach 1st and 4th graders so Danielle and I found some great cupcakes in this book.

For the 1st graders, we made the alligator cake. Is he not adorable???!!! The kids went crazy and had frosting all over their faces!!!

For the 4th graders, we needed something a little more sofisticated!!!! So we made puppy cakes.

These turned out equally cute!!!
