Erika's Cakes - Updated

I have a good friend at work who likes cake. I mean it - she really likes cake. She is single-handedly keeping me in the cake making business. There are some weeks when I find myself making two or three cakes for Erika. Here are just some of the orders she's placed in the last year:
This was her daughter's Minnie Mouse cake. This one started it all!
Erika's husband has a side job as a bartender. I made him a martini shaker and glass.
This baby rattle was for a friend's shower.
This was for Erika's Scrabble-enthusiast mom. I had a tough time with the board & peeled it all off to start over again. Note to self: don't try something new for someone else's cake.
This was for the Fourth of July. I used a napkin as inspiration. It was a ton of piping, but I loved how it came out.
This cake was for Erika's sister. It was actually pink, but my camera is crazy.

A friend needed a Superman cake for her son. Erika ordered it from me.
Anyone who knows Erika knows that she loves Hello Kitty. This was her birthday cake.

She also talked her daughter into having a Hello Kitty party this year!

...with cupcakes to match.
A little Easter cake

A birthday cake for Aunt Charlotte

Thanks to Erika, I'm always busy with cakes. I can count on her for at least one order a month. It's helping me to hone my skills!

**Updated: I added two more of Erika's recent cake orders. I'm sure there'll be more to come!
