Lego Cake

I challenged myself again with this Lego cake. Because we were on the road for my son's birthday, I told him I would make him a cake when we arrived at out destination. What I forgot to take into account was the elevation. It reeked havoc on the baking time of the cake and the frosting. (The wine came out pretty early!)
 I was, however, very thankful my sister-in-law was eager to help out, once I had the cake baked and assembled. I taught her how to make fondant and had her helping me cut out all the Lego blocks for the side. We work on this all afternoon, and finished it up shortly after dinner.
And he LOVED it. Mission accomplished!

Rustic Wedding Cake with Burlap

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.
