Zoey Rose Stoltz

Zoey was born on her due date 21st December 2010. She is 4 weeks old already and the most beautiful little girl ever. She gives both Garett and myself lots of joy. We don't want to wish her life away, but every new day excites us as she develops more and more of her own special character.

Special Cakes

Well, I am starting to enjoy making cakes for my nieces and nephew, I would not call myself a professional, but I think that I am getting pretty good at it.

My first attempt was for Oliver's 2nd Birthday, I made him a Thomas the Tank Engine Cake. I moulded the face of Thomas by hand using fondant - froze the actual cake, then cut it and shaped it into the train. I then covered the train with fondant.

Next attempt was a Cake for Jorja's 4th birthday - this was a Barbie Cake exactly how she wanted it - I wanted to do something a little different to the usual barbie and a dress sort of cake - but she had her mind set on this - so this is what she got.

I made a heffalump cake for Kyra's 1st birthday, but this was a last minute cake and I wouldn't call it one of the good ones - but all the children knew it was heffalump, and in the end that is all that matters.

My latest cake I did was for Oliver's 3rd birthday - he asked for a Little Einsteins cake. I searched on the net and found a cake someone else had done, and I decided to replicate it - I moulded all the faces out of fondant. Got my niece jessice to make the cake for me as I was running out of time - once the cake had cooled, I cut and moulded it into the rocket shape and covered it with fondant icing - it was an istant hit with Oliver - he loved it.

I am now thinking forward to Rachel's 9th birthday, I need to ask her what cake she wants - but I have definitely decided this is a hobbie I quite enjoy and I am reasonably good at.
