Happy belated birthday Paris!
Wow your cakes look amazing! I've been decorating cakes too..as a hobby as well, couldn't do it full time, it's too much work.

where did you do that neat pic you have in your signature... it's online scrap-booking isn't it? I do the real thing but wanna find an online site.

This is the cake I made for Ella's 1st bday.. it was the 2nd cake I'd ever decorated.
Tried the ready to roll icing but too annoying to work with. Do you use those jelly icing tubes to write on the cakes or just a pipe icing bag?

Oh cr@p.. sorry that pic is so big! It said it was resized in photobucket, but it's still showing up as huge here
I downloaded some free software from this site http://digitalfreebies.com/topsites/index.php
You will need quite alot of space to store it on your computer, or you could burn it to a CD and use it from there. I was intending on making "real" scrapbook pages too, but it can get quite expensive. The only thing about the digital ones is that you have to find an A3 sized printer to print them out full size.

i go to spotlight and usually a set of pages.. ie, 2 pages plus a sheet of glittery paper to go round pics, and a sheet of themed shickers cost me about $8 all up. i do that every few weeks and grab all the stuff i need to do so i can do sets of pages... haven't got round to putting many in the book yet, cos i keep forgetting to buy the darn glue!!!
i just use a piping bag... hey your cake is really neat, i have a whole heap of cake decorating books and there's one in one of them that is pretty similar to the one you've done. there's a site that i submit pics to (have just started) called coolest-birthday-cakes.com, where you send your pics of cakes in... you should submit yours.
here's a few i did for my nephews a couple of years back... they are my favourites from all the ones i have ever done. pokemon and spiderman.

You are planning Jake's cake already???
What am I going to make Hannah? Luckily I'll be finished Uni so will have some time on my hands!
Just found out that my Gran is going to come up from Ashburton for Han's birthday. I'm starting to get excited because I think it's going to be quite big!!!

OOOOh yes Nikki. I';ve been thinking about Jake's birthday cake since I bought the birthday cake book....when he was six weeks old.
It's kinda sad but I also would plan my own birthday cake for about six months before my own birthday. Mum refuses to make me special cakes now. and it's just pathetic making your own butterfluy cake.

OOoh, I love the sims. I used to like putting them in a room and taking away the door, and bed and flooring and toilet. Then don't feed them and they wet themselves and die. funny thing was the neighbours kept hanging outside until they died too, and then people came to mourn at their graves. weird.
