Max's 10th Birthday cake

Jan. 19, 2013- This cake is for my son's 10th birthday. Like all boys his age he loves to play video games. The hot game we got for Christmas was Skylanders. It's all the rage around our house! So, he got 5 new characters for his birthday but, surprisingly, didn't want them on his cake, but wanted the XBOX console and controller. It's made of marble cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting. Covered in fondant. This was fun and fairly easy to make and he got a kick out of it, although he told me he didn't like his name on it. Hmmm...maybe it takes away from the authenticity (He! He!), or maybe ten is the age when you no longer want your name on your birthday cake!
Photo to come...for some reason I can't attach the photo at this time:( So sorry!

Toy Story Birthday

Dec. 29, 2012- This cake is for a neighbors little boy who is turning 3 today. He loves Toy Story so I used my Cricut to cut out his name and a big number 3. Buzz and Woody had a hard time standing up on the fondant so unfortunatly I had to apply a little extra frosting on their feet! Oh, well! It will still taste good. This cake is one of my favorite flavor combinations too. A delicious yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling. Yum! Happy Birthday Linkin!

Ariel Birthday Cake

Dec. 27, 2012- This cake is for a friend of mine whose name is actually Ariel. Her mom asked me to make her a Little Mermaid cake for her 17th birthday. Ariel was a little tricky. I put her on the cake the night before and put it in the fridge. The next morning she had sagged under the weight of her hair and lost her chin. Next time I will use modeling chocolate instead of fondant to help support all that hair! Happy Birthday Ariel!

Wispy Wedding cake

Sept. 29, 2012-I made this cake for a reception my sister catered too. She called and asked me to take over on the cake as there had been some drama about it. It was fairly simple yet turned out very elegant. It is vanilla cake with bavarian cream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting.

Perfectly Pink wedding cake

Aug. 10, 2012- This cake was a team effort with my sister. She catered food and cake for this event but called me at the last minute for help on the cake as the pressure of, "time is running out," came upon her. So, technically she baked the cakes and made the fillings and frostings and I frosted, assembled and decorated. I ended up going to the reception also to set it up and help out with food. It turned out beautifully. I really enjoy the reception catering/cake decorating thing. I hope to get to help out again soon!

Race car cake

Sept. 22- This cake is for my nephew's 2nd birthday. It is vanilla cake with chocolate filling covered in a race track of fondant. Happy Birthday my little friend!

0-60 Birthday

Sept. 15, 2012- This cake is for my dad on his 60th birthday. He had a race car party where we went go-karting at Boondocks. Mom wanted a speedometer on the cake and I went ahead with the whole dashboard. He doesn't really like cake so this is actually a Texas sheetcake, one of his favorites.
