- I made this elephant baby boy cake for a baby shower. The elephant is from the invitation. I just love putting personal touches on a cake.
- The cutest video of puppies on the beach.
- This week in NJ, the weather reverted itself to summer for a few days. I’m talking shorts-out, AC-on and oven-off weather.
- Fell in love with these sunglasses as soon as I saw them. I got them in pink.
- I got this beautiful chunky infinity scarf in marble. Super warm AND it benefits Haitian orphans. Win-Win.
- Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart visit a haunted house. So. Funny.
- Please, please tell me you’ve registered to vote and will vote on or before November 8th. This video of President Obama is hilarious. “You know how you beat LeBron James one on one? Get there 45 minutes early. Then it’s one-on-none.”

Hello,
I really like your elephant cake topper. Is there anyway you can provide directions on how to make it.

Hi, Michelle! The elephant was actually from the invitation they used for the baby shower. I didn’t document how I did it, but in general what I do is:
1. roll out a thick (1/4 inch) piece of fondant
2. trace the outline of the image you want onto the fondant
3. cut out the image from fondant
4. stick a lollipop stick into the bottom of the fondant, taking care not to let it poke through.
5. cut another piece of fondant the same size and shape of the original outline and place on top of the first fondant
6. use a clay tool to trace the details onto the fondant
7. for the elephant, cut out a small star and use a thin wire to secure it to the elephant’s trunk.
I hope this helps!
