A couple more cakes

I'm hoping to start making a few more cakes each month over the summer. I'm off to a pretty good start. Here are two I made last week.
For a graduate of The Woodlands High School. The hats are all fondant.
Yes, I'm sure some of you were wondering when I'd make a Twilight themed cake. This one was for A.J. 's sister Melanie, who is Team Jacob all the way. I had no idea what to do, so this is what I came up with.
Yes, I'll be sure to avoid any further cakes that take any amount of artistic ability.
I did three wolves. This one was the best. The other two resembled ferrets more than they did wolves. Luckily, Melanie didn't look much past the picture at the top of the cake. So as far as she was concerned, it was great.

What a difference a year . . .or four can make.

Well, this was the scene, four years ago as Chloe and Daisy headed off to 1st grade at Kaufman. Fast forward, 4 years as they enter into Kaufman for the last time as 4th graders.
Today, Chloe officially completed elementary school.
Good bye elementary school.
Hello intermediate school.
After the 4th graders receive their certificates, the entire school line the hall ways and clap them out. It was surprisingly emotional for me. I went to see Brandy afterwards and she teared up too. She said she was fine until she saw Chloe. Chloe is really going to miss seeing Aunt Brandy at school. Luckily, Logan will get to see her there next year.
