Monkeying around with Texas Hold'em!

This week's order was a rather interesting one. The initial order for the cake was for a "monkey" cake as the wife who ordered the cake endearingly calls her hubby - Monkey! So as I was conceptualising the cake..I thought of having 3 monkeys, coconut trees, similar to the safari theme which I did earlier. However, it felt kinda dull to just have a plain monkey cake.. so I asked her more about what her hubby likes to do.. and walah! Since he liked to play Texas Hold'em -  I thought, why not do a cake with Monkeys playing Texas Hold'em? :)

Vroom Vroom with McQueen !

To be honest... prior to last weekend, I had absolutely no idea who Lightning McQueen was... not till I got a request for a McQueen cake for 3 year old Skylar! I googled McQueen and realised.. wow there is a huge following on this little cute red car who appeared in the file Cars 2. Read more about him here ! :)
