Charlie Brown Cake

Happy New Year! Let's start out the year with a bang!

This cake was so fun and I just love how it turned out! It is a tall, skinny cake. The bottom tier, Charlies Brown's shirt,  is an 8 inch round. Then Charlie Brown and a few friends are on the 6 inch round. Woodstock is flying around on a 4 inch round. Lastly, Snoopy and his doghouse are on top. I made the doghouse out of rice krispies and fondant. It was fun to make things look drawn, like the cartoon. The puffy clouds bring in an element of 3D to the cake.

Christmas Yule Log

 What could be more Christmasy than a Yule Log? Here is a snowy yule log complete with meringue mushrooms. It is a fluffy white sponge with a cherry compote filling. Y U M! I absolutely love how the mushrooms turned out. My husband is also very happy that I had meringues left over.

Miniature Tea Party

What little girl doesn't love a tea party? The only thing better would be a tea party on a cake!! Everything is cuter when its miniaturized, I just love this cake with all the little fondant details.

Halloween Time

It's Halloween time! Who out there loves candy corn? I have a confession, I actually hate how they taste, but love how they look. So I'll eat a cake that looks like a candy corn instead. Covered in a black drip with a white chocolate BOO on top, I'd say this cake is perfect for any Halloween party.

Little Boy Baby Shower

Baby shower cakes are always so cute, and this one is no exception. How adorable is this elephant!?! And of course with banners and buttons you cant do wrong. I just love it!

Yummy S'mores Cupcakes

 S'mores anyone? What says summer more than S'mores? When you can't make it out to the campfire here are some S'mores cupcakes. Let me tell you these are delicious!! Milk chocolate cake with a marshmallow filling, topped with chocolate mousse, surrounded by gram cracker crumbs, with toasted marshmallow and dark chocolate. That was a mouthful in more ways then one. 

Mermaid Party

 My daughter is obsessed with mermaids (isn't every little girl??). So when her birthday rolled around she wanted a mermaid party. I started talking about the cake and she said, "I don't want a cake." My heart dropped, this is was I do - I make cakes! Then she said she wanted petit fours, macarons, and cupcakes (I kinda had to convince her to have cupcakes haha, but not all little kids have such refined palates as her).

 Everything was a big hit and looked adorable! But the work!! I have made all of these before; many times, but doing them all at once along with planing and decoration for her party - lets just say I wont be doing that again. But you only turn 5 once.
