Simply Delightful Cakes

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.

Another birthday has come and gone at our house! My four-year old daughter requested a cat cake for her birthday, when we had been planning for a Minnie Mouse cake.  She has been in love with "Baby Booties" and "Mama Booties" for quite some time now so I thought it would be fun to recreate her kitties for her cake. While there were many kitties to choose from, these were the lucky ones who made the cut. Spot, Lindy, Baby Booties, Mama Booties, Ta-tas, Whiskey, and Kiki. These little guys were so much fun to make, just a little time consuming! Shh....don't tell her that Zebra isn't a kittie! It's just a kittie with a mo-hawk! Hahaha!

It's Lego Ninjago time! I was so excited to hear my boy wanted one of these cakes. I had so much fun making it. If I could change one thing, I'd add a couple fondant swords to his back, but I ran out of fondant and time. I love how it turned out regardless! He didn't specify which color he wanted, but I knew deep down, he'd want Lloyd. :) Lego cake for the win! 7 year old boys are awesome!

My daughter's birthday has come and gone. May is such a busy month for me that I forgot to post her birthday last year, and this year I ran out of time as well. Two months later is bad, right?  Leading up to her birthday, all she wanted was a Minnie Mouse cake, but the day before I started to make it, she changed her mind and decided on princesses instead. With little time to spare, I threw together a Cinderella cake for her. She LOVED it, of course!

My sweet middle child turn the big 6 yesterday. Where did the time go?! He's BIG into green, so having a green cake was a big must for him. Since Star Wars is the new thing for little boys, he was eager to request a Yoda cake. After many chats with him, he changed his mind and instead wanted a Ninja Turtle cake. I could tell he was really wrestling with it... I suggested we do both and I can't begin to tell you how big his eyes got!   When he arrived home from school, he literally couldn't contain his excitement and proceeded to bounce off the walls until it was bedtime...5 long hours later!  I love how Yoda turned out! And I'm relieved I finally got Leonardo to stand on his own! In my head they were going to be dueling, but I put off making the "people" until the morning of... Not the best time to start!  The night before I was busy making these Ninja Turtle shell cupcakes for school. I don't need to tell you he loved them, right?

I've got one more cake in the books! Star Wars must have replaced the Superheros this year... And I have one more Star Wars cake to do this week too!   Super impressed with how this one turned out. And I love that I was able to use "Star Wars" font for the letters.  What's a birthday without cupcakes? Chewbacca anyone?
