Look Whoo's Turning 1!!

My little niece Alexis turned 1 this past weekend! My sister did her birthday decorations in the theme "Look whoo's turning 1". I made her cakes around that theme!

On the left is the main cake - all chocolate with a chocolate cream filling and the left is the smash cake for Alexis! The invitation is in the back.The smash cake with the invite! I made the eyes, beak and bow out of chocolate - easy to eat and melts in the mouth for no choking!Here is the owl topper I made out of fondant for the cake!I brush painted the bottom tier with pink food coloring to make it a soft pink and used cute little edible pearls for the middles of the flowers!Happy Birthday Alexis! Your aunt Stephanie loves you!!And...did she love it????Heck yeah she did! :)

Kitty Cake

I made a cake this past weekend for a little girl who was turning 7! Her best friend is her cat Joey and her mom wanted the cat as part of the cake - along with pink!

This is what I came up with!I made the bottom tier a chocolate cake with OREO cream filling and the top tier was a vanilla cake with rasberry cream filling.

All decorations were made out of fondant.

The paw prints were made with food coloring and a stamp that I bought just for this cake! It was my first time using a stamp on a cake and I think it turned out cute! When the little girl Andee walked in to pick up the cake, she looked at the cake, a big smile crossed her face and she said "It's Joey!" It made my day! She was thrilled with the cake!

Happy Birthday Andee!

Birthday Chica!

My little niece, Emilyn turned 1 this past weekend!

One of her most favorite characters to watch on tv is Chica on Sprouts! So that is what we decided to make for her 1st Birthday!

So here she is, Chica the chicken, along with a little cake just for Emy!This was my first time carving a cake. Although it was not a lot of carving, it was still nerve racking trying to get it just perfect! All in all, I think it turned out pretty good!And Emy's little cake was decorated with a whipped strawberry creme. She LOVED it!!!Happy Birthday Sweetie! Your aunt LOVES you!!!

To Infinity And Beyond!!

My little nephew Maguire is now 2!! I cannot believe it! They grow SO FAST!

This year, Big Mac is super into Toy Story and anything BUZZ!

So I made him a Buzz Lightyear cake! I love how it turned out with the "galaxy" and the little martians! He loved it (especially the toy I placed on top!)

My sister in law wanted me to make a pumpkin cake. So I made up a recipe on the fly and it turned out SO YUMMY! I made a pumpkin mousse using this stuff

(this is limited...go buy yourself some, it is divine!!)I plopped a thick filling of the mousse and drizzled a semi-sweet chocolate over top of the mousse for the filling! It was super delicious (I LOVE when cakes are made for family and I get a chance to sample the cake...ya know...for research, to make sure the end product was good!) My other sister in law even told me it was the best cake she has ever eaten! Yeah!

I am so glad it turned out good in taste and look! Happy Birthday Big Mac!!!

Topsy Turvy Birthday

I made my first attempted topsy turvy cake! I am pretty excited with how it turned out!

This was my vision/drawing...

And this was the actual cake! I wanted it to be turquoise and hot pink and think that the colors came out really good! This was for a little girl's 10th birthday! I hope she loves it!!

Happy Birthday Karsyn!

Super Mario Bros Cake

I love how this cake turned out! The boys who this was ordered for also loved it! They were super excited and said they wanted me to do their cake next year too! :)

Kylee's 13th Birthday

Kylee turned 13 yesterday! I cannot believe she is a teenager! Yikes!

For all the kids birthdays this year, we gave them the option to have a party and presents or to just have a simple party and get their room's re-done...of course they chose for their rooms to get re-done. My point in this story in regards to my cake is the color scheme. Kylee chose her room to be hot pink with black and silver accents! It turned out great...as did the cake and the cupcakes!

I made one small little cake for the candles to go into...plus I always like the look of a small cake with a bunch of cupcakes! :)

I stacked them on black and silver trays in varying heights (used some pink crepe paper in one of my apothecary jars I made for the tall tier!)

My youngest helped me cut out the fondant accents!

They turned out pretty, elegant, girly and YUMMY! And of course that is what counts the most!

Happy Birthday Kylee!!

Hawaiian Sea Turtle Birthday Cake

This cake request was for a Hawaiian themed cake with sea turtles! I loved making the fondant sea turtles and think that they turned out so cute! I loved this whole cake and it was so fun to make! Cake was a lemon cake with a whipped lemon filling and vanilla buttercream frosting!

All accents are made out of fondant, except for the brown sugar "sand" and the coconuts that are actually whoppers!

Happy Birthday Kasey!

Dad's Birthday

My dad is ever the partier, so I decided to attempt a glass of beer for his birthday cake! I made 4, 6 inch hexagon shaped vanilla cakes, stacked them with a layer of OREO cream filling and frosted with vanilla buttercream. it turned out pretty good, but the handle I made out of fondant was a little heavy so I had to make a support to help it stay in the cake...next time I will use a better strategy for that! :)

After the cakes were done, I made some cupcakes with the leftover batter and made some fondant pretzels to go on top of them, as well as made the fondant pretzels to spell "dad".

I like how it turned out - and my dad inhaled his piece of cake in about a minute, so it must have been really good! :) After my brothers seen how much my dad loved the cake, they decided to help feed him a little more! :)

With the left over cake tops and OREO filling, I made a trifle. It had more of a whipped cream base so it was nice and light! Yummy!
