The Baby Train

This baby shower cake was iced in vanilla buttercream. The decoration idea actually came from the invitation for the party. This is a very common thing to use to make sure that the party theme is apparent in all aspects. All of the decorations on the cake were made out of fondant and then some were embellished with some colored buttercream. The train and a few other decals were textured to add some more dimension to the cake. Also to add to the cake the bottom was finished with a double fondant ribbon.

Welcome to Vegas

I choose this cake because we are living in Las Vegas now and it just seemed perfect. The cake is frosted in vanilla buttercream icing. The poker chips, famous "Welcome to Vegas" sign, and other elements are made out of fondant. I made the poker chips all different colors to make the cake more fun and tried to make the Vegas sign as close as possible. I used cookie cutters to cut out the poker chips and some of the letters, everything else I cut out free hand.

About the Blog

I have decided that I am going to have a new featured cake every month on the blog. I will put the picture of the cake and a description of the cake or how I made something for it. Hopefully I can do this in the first week of each month. If it goes well and I have enough cakes maybe I will change the featured cake more often. If there are any questions on cakes that are on the different pages, I would be happy to answer them. I hope that this will be entertaining for everyone to read and look at. Enjoy.

Here I am. Let them eat cake.
