Friday, March 7th, 2008Since the name of the blog is Kater-Bug, I figured it was time to try my hand at a bug! It’s my daughter’s nickname-and so is Lady Bug–so why not put them together! This is a really easy cupcake to complete–only problem in this house is–I used the fondant instead of the candy clay–which [...]
March 6th–Basketball!!
Thursday, March 6th, 2008Like I mentioned in the previous post…we went to see Kirk Heinrich, the captain of the Chicago Bulls. He was doing a signing in the area so we took the kids over and got a few autographs. You’d think that would be why I chose a basketball as the Cupcake A Day, but [...]
My Father In Law’s 64th Birthday!!
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Well, there you have it! If you were to ever wonder what kind of cake you would get if you gave me about 3 hours notice…wonder no more! I had planned to make some sort of cake for my father in law, but hadn’t ever gotten the official plans from my mother in [...]
March 5th–Baby Rattle!!
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008This is a fun little design that you can either use fondant, candy clay or crusting buttercream for. The point is, you want the top of the rattle to be round and flat. Since I made candy clay yesterday–I went ahead and used it. Rolled it out like sugar cookie dough, and [...]
Birthday Cake!!
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Tomorrow is my father in laws birthday. We will be bringing him a birthday cake –I just have to figure out what to make. I’ve been dying to make another Tiramisu, I have a “to die for” (or so I’ve been told) recipe that is easier than anything! However, we don’t drink [...]
March 4th–Cat In The Hat!!
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008I know, March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s 104th birthday. But I was caught unprepared in my ingredients to make Candy Clay. I was out of corn syrup–so his dedicatory cupcake was saved for today!
And can you tell I found my better camera???
Fun Craft For Today–Candy Clay!!
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Have you ever heard of “Candy Clay”? I have, but I have never thought of working with it, let alone creating it. I have to say, it was AWESOME!! I made the topper for the Cupcake of the Day tomorrow–so you will get to see my little creation then. But truly, [...]
March 3–National Anthem Day!!
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Ok–this is a strange little cupcake…I will admit it! But March 3rd is the anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s writing of the poem that became the National Anthem. I left it up to my 8 year old as to how he would like to interpret an image of a flag atop a cupcake–and [...]
Beautiful Baby!!
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008I was just clearing out a blog of mine in order to revamp it and I came across this video. I’ve had it on my “Chef” blog–but decided that since I have a cake blog now, it’s perfect for it! So I’m putting it here for all of my new readers to see. [...]

Something New!!
Saturday, March 1st, 2008Ok–I was waiting until March 1st to release the ubber-cool “Cupcake A Day” section. Ok—so it’s not “ubber”, but it’s certainly fun. Coming up with a new cupcake topper every day for a year (that’s my goal) is a little intimidating, but also really fun to think about. Everyday a new cupcake [...]
