Marvel Superhero Cake

Last week I had the pleasure of making a cake for a co-worker. Her son is a huge Marvel fanatic! Without him knowing, she had him tell her his top 5 favorite superheros. They were Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, and Dead Pool. I had only heard of the first two...

But low and behold, Ant-Man and Dead Pool sections turned out to be my favorites.

His favorite was the Ant-Man section.

He and his mom were also blown away with the Dead Pool section too. She had no idea who he was either.

Scarlet Witch's cape gave me some problems, but I made it work. Her section was the hardest to come up with because she doesn't have any weapons - just her "M" looking face mask as one of her signatures. I was sure to add that, but opted for adding her cape instead of her little red corset outfit.

Who knew making one superhero cake would lead me to make two more? Just can't get enough of those heros!

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.
