Happy Easter

Carrot cake shaped like a carrot anyone? This cake was done without any fondant for those of you that don't like it, and only two colors of icing to make. It was really easy to shape the carrot using sheet cakes and then put it all together with cream cheese icing. Yummy carrot cake, happy Easter.

Cat in the Hat Cakes

 These cakes were fun and really I could have done just about anything on them. They were for dance recital parties held on two different nights (hence the two cakes). The theme for the dance recital was Dr. Seuss / Cat in the Hat. I mad them a little girly with the colors and then had fun making all different kinds of stripes. And of course I had to make the patented Cat in the Hat tie and hat to go with them.

Cupcakes Anyone?

For my sons 2nd birthday I decided to make a big cupcake. I have done a few different versions of this in the past, you can make the "wrapper" have anything on it; polka dots, strips, flowers, etc., or just a solid color. I have made the icing different colors, with or without sprinkles and with a cherry or flower on top. Really sky is the limit with cupcake cakes, so have fun.

Cheetah Print

Animal print cakes are always really fun to make. Once all the colors are made and rolled out it goes really fast. It is nice to have all different sizes and that all the spots all look different. This cake is topsy turvy to add extra fun and has a sparkly bow too.

A Strawberry Birthday

It was my daughters birthday again and she wanted a Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday. The bottom tier of the cake is just a simple round cake with striped of fondant in different colors. The top tier is shaped like a strawberry, it is covered in fondant and I colored candy pearls black for the seeds. I put fondant balls and leaves around the cake o make it a little more fun (plus my daughter LOVES fondant so I used a lot). It was a big hit and she loved it. The actual cake was strawberry flavored too.

Pizza Cake

Is it a pizza or a cake?

It's both!

This cake was super easy to make. I just cut a sheet cake into a circle and covered it a pizza crust colored fondant. The sauce is strawberry jam, the cheese and pepironies are fondant. It does have a sort of raw uncooked look to it, but you could dust it with some edible dust or spray it with an airbrush if you wanted it to be "cooked".

Fall Leafs

I made this cake for one of my cousins weddings, she had all fall colors. I love the fall and had fun making this cake. It has 8", 10", and 12" tiers, they might look a little too close together to some people but it was the look I wanted for this cake. Everything is made out of fondant, I just cut and layed it out as I went.
