Emergency Dora cake!

I got an emergency birthday cake call on Tuesday afternoon for a cake for Wednesday afternoon! Sure, I am a 'stay-at-home-mom', but I also look after 2 children besides my own.....but, I said "Yes"!!
This is a cherry cake. The top round is covered in mm Fondant, the bottom round is covered in chocolate buttercream. The stars are sugar paste. I made the 'Backpack', but the Dora and Boots figures are plastic. I like to make my whole cake edible, but there just wasn't time to make those characters.




It was for a 3rd birthday, and the word on the street is....she loved it!

Treehouse Valentine's Party

A fun little strawberry cake with buttercream icing. The bear is molded from sugar paste, as is the heart. This was my first attempt buttercream flowers!!! Not bad.
