Owl Cake with Pendant Banner

My sweet little girl turned 1 today, so for the last few days, I've been busy in my kitchen baking, frosting, and molding her cake. With the exception of one cake, I've only made boy cakes. Do I have to say how exciting a girl cake can be after making so many boy cakes? ;)

I had been thinking for nights on end about what I wanted her cake to look like. When I was pregnant with her, I became hooked on owls, so I themed her room with a touch of owls. The only thing I knew I wanted on the cake was an owl. By this morning, I still didn't know what I wanted so I ended up just winging it. (No pun intended!)

With my little angel tugging at my ankles and my 4 year old sick on the couch, I think it turned out pretty darn good!

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!

Wreck It Ralph Cake

My son turned 5 years old today and requested a Wreck It Ralph cake. In my mind, I'm thinking "Oh that's going to be pretty easy. It's just a building." Ha! I officially hate square cakes...or maybe I just need more practice! Luckily I was able to cover up most of my boo-boos! In case you haven't seen the movie yet, here is a picture the cake on the movie. I think Ralph and Fix-It Felix turned out great! A lot better than what I had in my mind. Usually it's the opposite! To prevent them from continuously tipping over on the top, they had to move to the ground for more pictures. : ) He was pretty proud! (Especially since I let him glue the shrubs to the board!)
