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!!!

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!

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!

Baby Blessing

My niece Alexis was blessed this past Sunday! She did so good and was such a doll! Here is the cake I made for the lunch afterwards. It was a yellow cake with a chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting! Yummy!

S'mores Cupcakes and a Tinkerbell Cake

This past weekend was my brother's birthday and a friend's niece's birthday!

For my brother, I decided since we were having a cook out - I would incorporate that theme and do S'mores cupcakes! They turned out delicious! Chocolate cake, a whipped marshmellow cream frosting, graham cracker cumbs and a piece of Hershey's candy bar on top! Yummy!!

My friend's little niece was turning 5 and she wanted a Tinkerbell cake. She also wanted some sparkles on the cake...so I chose to make a flower for the top and a bow for the bottom and completely cover them with pink sugar! They turned out adorable! I am definitely going to use this technique again in the future (my daughter Kylee already informed me that she wants it done for her birthday cake!)

The birthday girl wanted a chocolate cake with banana cream filling. So I did that for the top tier and I did a chocolate cake with a marshmellow cream filling for the bottom tier. I have to say, I was skeptical on the banana cream with chocolate cake...but I tasted it with some of the leftover cake tops and it was fabulous! I am really wanting to make another cake just so I can fill it with the banana cream I made! What a fun weekend!!

76th Birthday cake
