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.

Romantic Ruffle Cake

I love the over-sized flowers on this cake. For this cake I bought the edible flowers, but I could have made them had time permitted it. I also love doing ruffles on cakes. They are just so romantic and fun.

Mario Cupcakes

These little guys were fun to make. Super Mario has many characters, and I only make a few. These guys are all buttercream. If  I had the chance to make them again I think it would be nice to do them in fondant, to be able to add little more detail.

Simple Minnie Mouse Cake

 This buttercream cake is very simple and super cute. Only the bows and Minnie Mouse head are made out of fondant. The border and bows along the side make it very girly and give the cake something different. I love the top of this cake, it just shows you that sometimes less really is more.
