It There a Ring Inside?

Guess what jewelry store this came from? Just kidding it's cake. Okay so you alrady knew that, but since June weddings are so popular I thought it was perfect. It is pretty simple to make too. I just cut 4 squares out of a sheet cake, made the blue fondant and then put a bow on top. It took some time and effort but it really isn't a very time comsuming cake and everyone know what it is sopost to be, people are impressed easily.

Zebra Sass

This cake was super easy and looks really cool. I just iced the cake like normal, rolled out black fondant and cut it into strips. Laying on the pattern was no trouble at all, just do whatever because ever zebra is different. The I added some pink fondant balls on the bottom for a little pop. Easy and fast.

April Showers and Babies

Spring is when the new babies come and this seemed like a perfect cake for the occasion. The lady in the dress is a butter cream squiggle design and the flowers are fondant cutouts. Very simple and very cute.

cupcake tier

Cupcakes are always fun and everyone loves to have a bite size piece of their own. Birthdays and cupcakes just go together, and stacking them up just makes it all the more fun.

First Birthday





The first birthday is always special. This was my son Rome's first birthday cake. He had his own little cake that he got to devour with his own hands. It was a 4 inch round cake that I covered in blue colored fondant. Just a simple 1 on the top and all of the other colors rolled into balls on the bottom. I made a big cut out 1 for everyone else to eat. I just chose some boy colors and cut fondant out into different sized stripes. Putting them on the cake took a little bit of time, but I think it turned out cute.

Circles


Happy New Year!
I thought that we could start the new year off with a big three tiered cake. This design is a sort of geometric/abstract mix. It is covered in fondant and all the shapes are also fondant. It is actually pretty easy to do, but a little time consuming. It is much easier to do with two people, one cutting out and the other placing on the cake. One thing that you have to be careful of is cutting out too many shapes and then they dry out before they are on the cake. A little helpful hit is to cover the cutout pieces with plastic, although it is still not good to get too ahead of yourself.

Beauty and the Beast

Bell from Beauty and the Beast. This was for my daughter Annalyse's 3rd birthday. We went through every character possible to figure out what she wanted for a birthday cake. She finally landed on a barbie cake and then given all the choices for that she chose Bell. I bought the barbie of corse (I liked this ones hair). Annalyse will only eat the fondant and fillings, not the actual cake, so the dress is all fondant. I made all the creases and then added candy pearls to it. She loved it!
