Olaf Cake!

Who doesn't love Olaf?! This was a fun cake to make and not as labor intensive as you might think. I made Olaf a couple days ahead of time so that he had time to dry. The 3 and some of the snowflake backgrounds are out of fondant were also made a head of time and dried. I piped all the white snowflakes out of royal icing and let them dry. So, actually putting the cake together was very fast, because basically everything was done and just needed to be placed. I think it turned out adorable and love it.
 I also made corresponding cupcakes. I love how they tuned out. The snowflakes looks very delicate on a cupcake.

Harry Potter Cake

I LOVE Harry Potter and have wanted to make a Harry Potter themed cake for a long time. I finally got the chance!


It was so fun, and there are a million different things I could have done on the cake. I chose to just make it classic Harry Potter. You have to have a wand, the Sorting Hat, Harry's glasses and his scarf of course. I have to say that I'm pretty pleased at how the cake turned out and would love to make more Harry Potter themed cakes in the future.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cakes


I have made other Minnie Mouse cakes, but no Mickey Mouse cakes and I couldn't pass up the chance to make a set. Come on these are freaking adorable. I loved making these cakes! First we have the clean look of Mickey with some cute shoes to really set it off. Then a classic red Minnie Mouse dress complete with ruffles under her skirt. I made the hats out of rice krispies, which held up the ears better than cake would have.

Halloween Skull Cake

Okay, so this isn't probably something I would make all the time, but in the month of Halloween I think it's appropriate. The person that wanted this cake was very specific in what they wanted. So I made the cracked skull spilling with blood (don't ask me how a skeleton can have blood, I was confused too). It is completely buttercream (with a lot of food coloring). They were happy with it and that's what counts.

Octonauts

I love how this cake turned out, it looks so clean and crisp, not to mention super cute. Octonauts is a fun, educational show for kids that takes place underwater. There are cute little animal characters, but I didn't make any for the cake because they had plastic figures to put on the cake at the party (unfotunally I didn't get a pictur with them on top). All the little details are fondant. Making all the different colors took a while, but I think it was totally worth the result.

Inside Out Cupcakes

 Inside Out was such a cute movie and I had fun creating these cupcakes for a themed birthday party. The cupcakes are color coordinated with the wrapper and the "memory balls" with a cute silhouette of Riley, the main character in the movie, on top. I think silhouettes are classic and adorable. I drew it on paper first and then individually cut each one out of fondant. Putting them in a cupcake tower makes them that much more fun!

Buttercream Rose Minnie Mouse Cake

How adorable is this cake? This bottom tier of this cake is buttercream swirl roses. I love how girly and sweet they look. They are also super simple and fast to complete. Of coarse on top I had to put a Disneyland Minnie Mouse hat. This cake is all actually cake and edible too.
