Harajuku Lovers Birthday Cake
I wanted to celebrate my sister’s birthday earlier because I’m traveling soon 
so I asked Bakerista_q8 if she can custom make Harajuku Lovers cake pops and cake. I love how she did not confirm and told me she will try it out, and see if she can actually perfect them, a day later she sent me a sample of what she made and of course I gave her the go ahead.
My sister was surprised and we spent at least 15 minutes taking pictures of the cake lol Here are some pictures I sent to her and the results:
Thanks Bakerista for an other wonderful cake! 
and Happy Birthday sis :**

Ron Ben-Israel Cakes
I was watching Video Fashion on Style and they featured a cake artist Ron Ben-Israel, a dancer turned cake artist Ron now makes cakes with exquisite detail making it hard to believe that these master pieces are actually edible! I’m in awe with his work, simply beautiful, the sugar flowers are insane! He has cakes inspired by bridal designers such as Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier, they actually supplied him with lace prints from their dresses to make molds to perfectly match the bride’s dress.
Here are pictures of some of his cakes:

Kim K’s Cake From Hansen’s Cakes
Whether you dislike her, adore her or whatever sick feeling you have for her 
its hard to avoid talking about Kim Kardashian these days, especially since her wedding took place today (and will air on E! October 9th and 10th 2011). People are obsessing over the dress (honestly can’t wait to see the dress) and everything else about the wedding, and apparently if you tuned in to Khloe’s wedding you may not miss much with this one! Kim chose the same designer for her wedding invites as her sister Khloe, as well as her wedding dress and went to the same bakery for her wedding cake!
The wedding cake was from Hansen’s cakes in California, no picture of the cake yet but it seems like they went with a ten tier cake .
Here are some cakes by Hansen’s cakes, moo chna Opera sheghulhum a7la?

Digumz Party!
I posted yesterday about my nephew’s birthday gaming theme birthday, we had the Angry birds birthday cake and Digumz Party set up 3 xboxs and Kinect and yes I am one of those who would normally be against kids spending endless hours face stuck to the screen instead of playing outdoors (like we did when we were kids) but honestly, with this weather…it was SUPER fun to have the kinect connected to a huge screen and Digumz Party supplied us with several games for xbox kinect and the kids went wild. Our favorite was Dance Central which got the kids moving and occupied (ok, some of the kids did not get the game, but didn’t stop them from dancing to the beats and following the moves on the HUGE screen :p).
The adults joined in too (including myself lol we danced to Soulja Boy and had endless laughs at the moves ). Digumz Party basically allows you to rent out the game consoles (xbox etc), tv screens, even a projector (for a wider bigger screen which is perfect for Kinect games) and basically everything that is required to create a LAN gaming party, the gamers can play against each other at the party which provides them with a unique gaming experience, perfect for birthday parties (on hot summer days) duwaniyas, weekend gatherings and sleep overs!

You basically provide the cake Digumz Party will provide the fun

Angry Birds Birthday
Today we celebrated my nephew’s 7th birthday, and we decided to surprise him with the cake (he originally wanted a Cars birthday theme) but I thought we could do something different and had a gaming night, filled with xbox kinect (Kicked butt in Dance Central) and it was capped off with an angry birds birthday cake!
We normally would have ordered our cake from Wow or Mr. Baker, but we decided to try Bakerista_q8 when I saw her cool cake pops, very nice work so I asked her if she can do a cake with the same theme as well, of course she did and it came out great! We were very satisfied and thrilled to see the cake done so perfectly, the kids loved it (and the grown ups too! ;P).
You can follow her on twitter @Bakerista_q8
