Mater & Lightning McQueen Cake

Feb. 17, 2012- I made this cake for my sons 3rd birthday, which is tomorrow. He is coo-coo over Cars 2 and naturally wanted a Cars cake for his birthday. Mater is his favorite but Lightning and Mater always come together. When I asked him who he wanted on his cake he would say, "Mater and Lightning McQueen, mom." So he got both. They were fun to do. They did turn out a bit rough from the seams in the fondant but at least Mater is supposed to look that way!

Double Ended Light Saber

This super fun cake was for my son's fifth birthday. Ever since we got an XBox for Christmas he and his brother have been obsessing over Lego Star Wars, so naturally we had a Star Wars themed birthday party! What made it even cooler was that his dad found him a light up double sided light saber (with sounds) that looked just like the cake! I haven't yet published a picture on this site that wasn't a cake photo, but I couldn't resist. The kid was in heaven! Happy Birthday little man!

January 19, 2012-These delightful cupcakes were for my son's 9th birthday. He decided he didn't want a big cake this year but just wanted chocolate cupcakes with balls on them (since he was playing Xbox Sports with friends for the party). Easy and still fun!

November 11, 2011- I made these for a Shutterfly House Party I hosted. They were a big hit for all to snack on while we designed our Christmas cards! They were a fun way to start off the holiday season.
