Peekaboo's birthday Part 2

This is Peekaboo's second birthday cake, for her party! The Barbie is Merliah, from Peekaboo's current favourite movie "Barbie A Mermaid Tale"-whatever?!?!
The cake is rainbow with buttercream, the rock is cake covered in MMF. It was yummy, and Peekaboo LOVED the fact that I got the actual doll (didn't make it out of gumpaste!) and pink dolphin.

Peekaboo's 6th Birthday Part 1



Peekaboo celebrated her birthday with family on Thanksgiving weekend. As we had apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry cheesecake....I made a SMALL cake! Penguins was the theme. The cake is apple spice, with cream cheese icing. The igloo is cake as well, with MMF on it and I just used the dull side of a knife to make the 'blocks'. The penguins are MMF with a little gumpaste mixed in to get them to harden a bit. I put it in the fridge (a no no with fondant) so that the penguins would get some condensation on them, so they would look 'wet'!! It was a hit. Stay tuned for Part 2-the birthday party cake on Saturday!~

Emily the Hairstyling Queen


This is a quick cake I put together to take to my Fave Hairstylist's birthday bash on Friday night! It is one layer vanilla one layer chocolate cake, with buttercream. The 'hair' is fondant and the scissors are gumpaste! It was a fun night, and a fun cake!!

Sarge from Cars


I made this for a 30 year-old! It is chocolate cake, buttercream and MMF. The details are MMF and a little gumpaste. I baked it, let it sit, put in supports and a cake board between the tiers....it still 'settled' and made a bulge! Urgh!! I guess that is what I get for sculpting with cake instead of marble!

Autumn birthdays cake

I made a little cake for my inlaws. They both celebrate birthdays within a month of each other, so we are having a family dinner....and CAKE!! It is chocolate with fudge frosting filling. The flowers were a new technique with royal icing. The leaves are fondant. I will let you know how it tastes!

Harley Gramma!

My Mom's birthday was this weekend, and the woman drives a purple Harley Davidson motorcycle...so, the obvious choice for a birthday cake.....!?!?
The cake is chocolate orange (like the Terry's chocolate oranges which she LOVES at Christmas!) with chocolate filling. A thin layer of buttercream is under the black MMF! The logo is MMF with hand-piped lettering. The flames are MMF as well.
It was a hit!

Fairies

This cake was made for one of my daughter's friends. Her 6th birthday was "Fairy" themed! I didn't have much notice, so I couldn't make the fairies, I bought a couple from Pixie Hollow!
The cake is rainbow, and the icing is all buttercream. The flowers are gum paste, with hand-piped vines.
