Over the hill cake
We had a request for a cake to celebrate two big birthdays (a 40th and a 50th), but nothing like the usual tombstone cakes that are usually made for those birthdays. Chocolate and vanilla butter layers with buttercream and fondant accents.

Pirate caterpillar cake
For weeks, my son Jack said he wanted a caterpillar cake. Then, just before his birthday, he said he wanted a pirate cake. Later, he decided to compromise with himself and asked for "a caterpillar looking like a pirate cake!" So here it is, although I think the caterpillar looks more like a pirate version of Mr. T!
He also knew exactly what flavor he wanted - mint chocolate cupcakes and mint chocolate chip ice cream. The cupcakes are dark chocolate fudge with an Andes mint baked in the middle and mint buttercream (which tasted a lot like the butter mints you get at showers...yumm!).

Vanilla pound cake
Vanilla pound cake is NOT boring! This was a recipe from Warren Brown's book CakeLove, for his LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) pound cake. The batter has rum, whiskey, and amaretto in it, and it's not at all dry or tasteless as so many pound cakes tend to be
