Purple and Blue Whimsy

This cake was so much fun to make. With only having boys in the house, I jumped at the chance to make some "girly" as the customer stated. The only things she asked for were polka dots and the colors blue and purple. The rest was up to me.

So, I cut out butterflies and made sugar paste flowers. I bought out 3 tubs of luster dust and went to town. This is what came about of an afternoon of dreaming "girly".

Cakers, here are the specs. It is three tiers of red velvet cake filled with cream cheese frosting. The entire thing is dirty iced in rich vanilla buttercream and rolled in fondant. All decorations are hand made from sugar paste by me.

Cheers!

Cars Cake

This cake was an absolute dream to make. Things went smoothly and according to schedule. Plus, I got to make little mini cacti. That really tickled my fancy. I was extremely honored to be making another cake for this little guy. His mom, Michelle, was one the very first paid orders of mine. I made the monkey cake for his first birthday.

So, cakers,here are the specs. The entire cake is made of double chocolate cake filled with peanut butter buttercream (yes, it is as good as it sounds). The bottom tier is 3 layers of 9" cake and the top tier is 2 thick layers of 6" cake.

All decorations are edible and hand made by myself.

Optimus Prime - Take Two

Ever had one of those days? Yeah, well, this cake embodies that for me. When I got the request for an Optimus Prime cake I was thrilled. How much fun was he going to be, right?? Such a cool guy ... er- robot thing. You get the idea. I was excited.

So, I am making the cake late into the night. Let's say, oh, I don't know ... 1:46 am. I am finished with the thing and pleased as punch with it. I am sliding it from the turn table to the cake board (I know ... I usually decorate on the board) and it doesn't stop sliding once it reaches the cake board. It goes all the way. To the dining room floor. Yeah.

After quite a few tears and an adult melt down, I remade the cake. Starting sometime around, let's say, 2:13 am. Just guessing here. (not really)

So cakers, after all the hoopla, here's Optimus Prime in a much more "primitive" and "rustic" form than a Cake, Hope, and Love cake usually is. But, the cake design was too cool to not post. Plus, Benji is too dang adorable not to give a shout out to. So, Happy Birthday, Benji F.!

I do! I like it, Sam I Am!

This cake order is for one of the cutest little tykes I know, Shep. Shep's Mom and Dad are pretty fantastic too in that they are throwing him a Green Eggs and Ham shin dig for his first birthday. I was thrilled to barter with his mama, Erinne. She's a fantastic photographer. Check out her site here One day she'll be famous. So, in return for the best family photos we've ever had, I give you .... The Green Eggs and Ham Cake order.

The Ham portion of the cake is White Almond with Vanilla buttercream. The Cuppies are Snickerdoodle with vanilla buttercream.

The ham cake is rolled in fondant and hand painted. Cuppie toppers are made of fondant and hand painted as well. And cakers, let me tell you - there isn't anything cuter than green eggs and ham cuppies.
