I plan to make a few cupcake bouquets for my moms and best friend and cookies for co-workers. For my mom I plan on doing a strawberries and cream swirl ccb; for my step- mother I was thinking peaches and cream; and for my best friend I will probably do both. Oh yeah, then I have my daughters god-mother and I have been wanting to bake a Red Velvet cake and was thinking about doing cupcakes instead. It will be a busy weekend!

What about you?

Well, I volunteered to do something for the mother's day brunch at church, but i've yet to decide what to make because everyone seems to think it's too early for cake. I planned to make three cupcake bouquests and two present cakes, but then i found out that one person i was making the present cake for doesnt like sweets, so who knows beyond that. plus i just started the wilton course 1 so i need to bake a cake for class too.

I'm going to make two little 6 inch cakes for my mother and my mother-in-law. Both with a small bouquet of RI and fondant flowers. I hope both will be fairly straight foreward, because I'm going to be making them in my MIL's kitchen 1000's of miles from my house in CA! LOL, she sort-of hinted that she wanted me to make her one after seeing my cakes from class. so I'm packing my tools icon_rolleyes.gif
I'm also going to make my sister a Tinkerbell cake for her daughter's birthday (also in my MIL's kitchen)
this will be a fun adventure in baking!
good luck to everyone! and have a wonderful mother's day!

Me and my boyfriend are making the 2 hours journey Sunday to visit my mother! She lives on a farm that my oldest brother runs. We are going out for dinner and back to the house for some cake...

I plan on making her a hat cake- red hat society cake,complete with feathers,ribbon and fresh flowers. I am thinking of trying hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing...

Can't wait to get the heck outta the city for a nice mother's day!


Was hoping I would have learned roses in cake decorating class by then ,but oh well next time!

I'm not planning on baking anything but my cake for my Wilton fondant and Gumpaste class. Although I am really considering chocolate chip cookies right now.

I just made a banana cheesecake to which I added Malibu Coconut Rum. Going to top w/whipped cream w a few drops of Lorann banana cream and toasted coconut. Made it for DH but he said we should have it Sunday. LOL! He's cooking for me so I guess that is one less thing for him to worry about.

Well, lets see. I just got back from delivering two 10'sqares with graduation hats atop them. In the morning I have to deliver 100 triple chocolate brownies. Saturday, I have a 10' rd, white and cream cheese, and a 8' rd, yellow and chocolate, for a Mother's Day cookout. Sunday I have a 50th Birthday tombstone and a Ford tractor due! I think that's it..I sure hope it is!

Re: KylesMom


I never heard of hummingbird cake till a few months ago either...I found it on Martha Stewart's website....There is a video to go with it there. She's making it with Paula Deen,as it's her recipe...
I just love Paula Deen,she's a too funny.

I made it last night,very easy.....It has pecans,bananas,crushed pinapple and cinnamon.....The scrapes were good like a banana cake but a light version....was tasty!!!!!!!

I made cookies and candies with my kids to make into a basket for my MIL. She likes my cookies and while I did the decorating the kids both helped with parts of it to make it special for her.
