Superhero Cake for a Super Cool Kid!

I shouldn't choose favorites, but this is BY FAR my favorite cake that I've done yet - simply because I didn't have any problems! The cakes came out of their pans perfectly and their edges weren't crispy, the fondant didn't give me any grief, and there was no cursing what-so-ever! 
 Last year my little guy was in love with Ninja Turtles, and he still is (probably more so this year) but he opted to have superheros on his cake instead - and a Ninja Turtle. 

 Since it was his 5th birthday, I divided the cake into five sections and let him pick the superheros to be on it. He was so confused to how it was going to look so I drew it out the best I could. I need to do that more often! I referenced it over and over during the decorating process!
The only thing I'm not so pleased about is the Spiderman portion - mostly because by the time I made /it to piping on the spider, the black dye was separating itself from the frosting making it turn out more gray than black. But he loved it anyways! 

I also tried something new on this cake too! I filled it with Oreo pudding mousse instead of with frosting. I had good reviews from the parents and kids so I might just have to do that again!
I can't decide which section I like the most - it's a three-way tie between Batman, the Hulk, and *Captain America. I'm super impressed with my free hand cutting skills on Batman, my molding of Hulk's hand (and the bricks below!), and how Captain America turned out in general. Though I do like Thor's mallet...

I was super impressed with my math skills - and how relatively easy it was to piece the pie together!
Happy birthday little man!

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.
