A couple months back we were contacted by one of the members of the Renegade Rollergirls (SO CAL) for a cupcake order for a huge event they are having on Sunday, June 28. These girls are CRAZY (in a good way)! For those of you unfamiliar with roller derby here’s the rundown (according to Wikipedia):

Roller derby is an American-invented contact sport—and historically, a form of sports entertainment—based on formation roller skating around an oval track. In past decades, roller derby had been primarily a professional or paid sport for both women and men. Contemporary roller derby is international, predominantly female, typically operates on an amateur       (or unpaid) circuit, and has a strong do it yourself ethic which often features both athleticism and a satirical punk, third-wave feminism aesthetic.

I have to admit, I am very intrigued by this sport. In fact, if I wasn’t pregnant, didn’t have 2 kids, or a business to run, I would SO OWN THE RINK! 

So, this event they are having I believe is a fundraiser type event that looks to be fun for the entire family. The so called “Battle of the Burrito” is a rematch between the Renegade Rollergirls SO CAL (who were defeated in the last match) vs. a San Diego team. The event is Sunday, June 28 from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Held at the SO CAL street hockey roller skating rink at 11700 Knott Ave., in Garden Grove. Admission is FREE and there will be a D.J., moon bounce, face painting and more! The main event…THE REMATCH, is at 2:00 pm. Be sure to check them out!

So, for the cupcakes, we wanted to make sure the represented the attitudes of these ladies…Senious, Raw, and IN CHARGE! We went with, of course a roller skate, it is roller derby…a skull with a bow, their style is rockabillyish and we thought that would fit right in…..a band-aid, after all, this is a FULL CONTACT sport….and a grenade, cause these girls are lethal! We placed each decoration atop a fondant circle outlined in pink (to keep it girly) and added some camouflage in the middle to match their web page. Here they are:

Please, let us know what you think! If you have any questions or would like to place an order you can reach us here.

 All Aboard the Crazy Train! 

Hop aboard the “Crazy Train” when Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne turn another television convention upside down and inside out with their new series OSBOURNES: RELOADED premiering after AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, March 31 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

The series will also venture off-stage with recurring segments including “Osbourne in the USA,” where members of the family go to work in places such as a fast-food drive-thru; “Osbournes Meet the Osbournes,” where the family goes cross-country and lives with other Osbourne families; and the “Littlest Osbournes,” where pint-size, potty-mouthed versions of Sharon and Ozzy recreate moments from their early days…in all their four-letter glory.

So, about two weeks ago, Lili contacted me about doing a wedding cake for her. She explained how she was married on the show and didn’t get to have a wedding cake. She is planning a premiere party with some friends at her place to celebrate the airing of the show and of course the wedding. So, we threw a few ideas around. She wanted to have a cake with an Osbourne feel, yet still have it be a wedding cake. She decided on going with a white cake with red, white, and black roses, and adorned with a black ribbon. 

You can view a preview clip of the show here, which again, airs tonight on Fox right after American Idol. If you look really close, you can see Lily giving her husband a smooch towards the end of the clip! Congratulations Lily on your marriage, we’ll be watching tonight!
