With a strong 41% of the vote (as of this morning) I am pleased to annouce that "Space" is the August theme! This can incorporate any medium (cakes, cookies, candy, etc.) and you can design anything that fits the theme "Space" in your mind. If your entry isn't obvious, explain how it fits the theme, and feel free to give details about the mediums and methods you incorporated!

Can't wait to see all the awesome space entries this month! There are lots of awesome celestial events going on, and this is one of them!

Well, I am excited for this theme. I can finally have a reason to make my backyardigans in space cookies....=) I love those little guys! More than my kids do! LOL

Oooh...I just happen to have one! This was a "zodiac" themed 1st birthday party. The mom is a party planner and she went ALL OUT!!! That party had the works....

Gorgeous as always!!! I wouldn't have let anyone cut that cake.

Looove that zodiac cake! What an awesome way to start us off! (You set the bar pretty high! hahahah!)

That cake is beautiful! I want it for MY birthday!

That cake IS gorgeous!

Would somebody please explain what we do with the theme of the month? Does everyone make something for the theme or do we look for pictures we already have? I wanna participate!

Hey SophieBelle, there is a link at the top of this thread in my original post that has the complete information, but the 'short' version is that you make something to fit the theme and post it here. If you have already made something in the past, you can post that too, but we'd also like to see you get creative and make something new!!! Welcome in, please DO join us!!!

Thanks, Melvira. Sorry I'm a dork!

Hey, y'all... just jumping in to see if anyone has done a new Space themed piece!! Mine is still coming, I promise, I just don't know what to do yet. Good golly I'm a weenie! Anyway... looking forward to more posts!

Mine is in the works too... hopefully this weekend or next I will get on it.

adven68 - the zodiac cake is gorgeous!

Here is my rocket cake.

KimAZ

Picture didn't show up...trying that again.

Well... I just did an R2D2 it's in my photos... does that count as space??

Kim, that is awesome!! It's so perfect!

Chefcindy, you are darn right that will count!! Post us a link, will you? That's awesome!

KimAZ, I love that rocket cake! It's so colorful! The "fire" coming out of the bottom is cool!

ChefCindy, I looked in your gallery and saw your R2D2 cake, very cool! Nice job!

Thanks!! I'm pretty proud of it! Here's the link.

When I gave it to my friend, he kept holding the tray crooked, and all I could see was R2D2 landing splat on the sidewalk.... I finally took it away from him (after correcting him twice) and took it in the house myself... no touching for him!!!

THAT IS SUCH A PRETTY CAKE. LOVE IT.

Fantastic work! And I don't blame you for protecting that bad boy!! You poured your heart and soul into it... and he was tipping it precariously right in front of you... he's lucky he lived through it!

He wasn't tipping it on purpose... just not really paying attention. He's a good guy though.

Oh, I know! I've done it myself... you're holding something and talking and... oops, it's dripping down the back of your hand! Hehehe!

Here is the cake I did for my son's b-day. The big planet and rocket are made from rice crispy. This was the first time I used it. Not perfect, but my son loved it.

great space cakes everyone! maybe if I am lucky I will get some cookies made this week for this theme. I am hoping to enter the local fair, so I have to get those done this weekend, but maybe I will have time to do both. hmmmm =)

These didn't turn out like I wanted it to but the kids LOVED em. Next time I will do black on black I think.

brilandken - That space cake is cute. Nice work with the rice krispies. I can see what he loved his cake!

MahalKita - my 6 y/o DS walked by the computer as I was looking at your cookie, and said "Oh WOW Mom! That's a Darth Vader cookie! That is so cool! Make me some please! That is just sooooo cool." And I agree.

I think the cookie turned out Great!!! My son would flip for one of those!!

THANKS guys, you made me feel a ton better.
