1st Birthdays

This month came with a couple of 1st birthday cakes. The first one I did was a minnie mouse cake, made with a strawberry cake.

The second one was a hockey stick cake, with a puck as the smash cake, made out of white cake. For future notice I think I will try to stay away from black icing for the kiddos (or more for the parents of the kiddos!)!

Little Mermaid Cake

This cake was done for a special 3 year old friend of ours. They wanted buttercream icing - for the taste of course!! All the decorations are out of fondant, and it was a white cake. Ariel is actually a cute little toy I found and had to use on the cake! Again, a Disney cake, which I love!

Birthday parties!

It was my son's 2nd birthday this past week, yea 2! And since he was turning 2 we made 2 cakes, which is not going to be a tradition! We just happened to have 2 separate family get togethers, therefore, needed 2 separate cakes! The first one we made was very simple, a train done all with a star tip for time saving and sanity saving reasons! It was a replica of the show "Dinasaur Train" which he absolutely goes giddy about!

The second one was a replica of his favourite movie character, Lightning McQueen! Another show he is bonkers about! We just had to do this cake. McQueen is made entirely of cake, covered in fondant. The base cake is a banana cake recipe found in this months Canadian Living, covered in fondant and buttercream icing. The wheels are actually oreos, the perfect size for this! It was such a fun cake to create, and lots of fun to eat too!

Itouch cake

It was my brother's birthday, and what better to make for the techie, than an Itouch cake!

We made this in an afternoon, so it was a quick job, with the details not being completely up to snuff, but it was still yummy and close to the original. Next time, I would make a more dense cake to hold up the weight of the fondant. Altogether, we had fun creating!
