I have a few orders coming up! I have Texas Longhorns cake to make next week. It will be shaped like the UT Longhorn emblem and covered with orange butter cream. This one will be pretty easy, I hope!
I also have a birthday cake for a fan of True Blood to make. I could get really creative here. I don't want to do a gory vampire cake though. I've never watched True Blood. I can't find any fan cakes on the web. (Google fail!) Even though I've never read or seen any of the Twilight series I like how there is easy imagery to adapt into a cake. I've been trying to figure out some imagery for a True Blood cake. I may have to try to watch it so I can be truly inspired.
I do have an idea to do something with a Southern Gothic theme. I've been researching that genre tonight and still don't have any good ideas. When I think Southern Gothic I think of mossy trees and foggy bogs, not anything that I can translate into a pretty cake.
It will be fun to try something creative here.

Blog Roll
I'm adding a blog roll. Now, these aren't all baking/cake blogs but they are the blogs I look at for inspiration. I love all aspects of design and love looking at pretty pictures no matter if they are of cakes, bathrooms or stationary. As long as it is pretty I can get lost looking at the pictures for hours!
I've always been this way, too. When I was younger I had a serious magazine addiction. Even though magazines cost about $2 back then, I would by about 20 a month. Or, really, my parents would. That is almost equivalent to an internet subscription nowadays. So, I have almost completely given up my magazines. I only buy the September Vogue and the January Texas Monthly anymore and then I don't get those every year. I still have tear sheets from my pre-Anna Vogue magazines. Around the time I graduated high school I began to detest Vogue. Looking back I realize that was the start of the Anna Wintour reign. Before Anna, Vogue was full of art. After she took over the magazine became all about being skinny and not so much about art. So sad.
Anyway, I love looking at pretty pictures. These days I like to look at pictures of parties and catered events which of course includes weddings. If you are looking for inspiration for your celebration check out my links. There are some great ideas here and a lot of inspiration boards, as well.
