Pink & Yellow Elephant Cake

One of my associates has a little girl who is turning 1 this weekend and asked me to make a cake a for her. I knew with a little one, I probably shouldn't use fondant, like I normally do, so I dug out my frosting skills and didn't do too bad! This is also the first tiered cake I've done.

This is the bottom tier, for the adults, made of fondant. The white things poking out are the support for the top tier. I could have cut them down a little bit more, but for this cake, I wanted to ensure that the mom was going to be able to get the top tier off the cake for her little girl without wrecking it.

This is the top tier of the cake, specifically for little Mia to dig her hands into. (I even added a little extra frosting to ensure she was extra messy!)

And what's a cake without a topper? Boring.... so by request, I created a cute little elephant to go on top. I love how it turned out...and to think this was the easiest part of the whole cake!

And the cake all assembled. I wasn't going to assemble it when I finished, but I was too anxious to see the final result, and wanted to make sure at least I could get the top tier off! I added a little boarder around the bottom tier to finish it off. I'm excited to deliver it!

Happy 1st birthday Mia!

Rustic Wedding Cake with Burlap

The opportunity presented itself for me to make a wedding cake. The picture she sent me was this very simple rustic looking cake with a burlap bow on it. When I arrived to set it up, I was in love with the reception hall. Burlap everywhere! But maybe I was a little partial to it because she and I had the same wedding colors - purple and green. After an entire day of baking cakes, I finally finished up Friday night. I had them all crumb coated and was able to make it to bed at 12:57a, 3 minutes ahead of schedule! However, as the morning came, I quickly became behind schedule between cleaning up my mess from the night before, running to the store for more Cisco, feeding children, etc. I had planned to take the cake over around 11, but I didn't leave here until 12:30, and when I arrived, the doors were locked. But I calmly was able to put the cake together, as I played hostess for people coming and going. With a few days notice, they added an additional sheet ca...

Monster High Cake

When I was asked to create this cake, I had never heard of Monster High before. I've come to the conclusion that they [the dolls] are the new Barbie. It's Mattel's new line of fashion dolls. Don't quote me, I could be wrong, after all, I'm a mom of boys... This is pretty much all I had to go off of. I tried to incorporate the stripes, though they didn't quite turn out as planned. I think I did the skull pretty well though! Happy Birthday Pam! I hope you like it!

Sensi Wu LEGO Ninjago Cake

This cake was two months past its due date, but my son said it was worth the wait! “It’s better than awesome!” After making the green ninja, Lloyd, the year before, this one was pretty quick to put together because I already had a good idea of what I was doing.
