Pirate Birthday Cake

I was excited to make this cake, as I think it was my first with the pirate theme. :) I love trying new things. Mom to the birthday gave me a photo to go by, so I can't claim artistic originality here, but it was fun just the same. And I did add a couple of my own small touches. :)

Vanilla cake, chocolate fudge filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The treasure chest has a base of rice krispy treat. The birthday boy loved it, which is my favorite part. :)

Simple Scrolled Birthday Cake with Flowers

Made this cake for the mom of a good friend. I wasn't sure at first how to decorate, but was short on time so went with classic scrolling which always looks good. Added some fondant flowers, green sugar pearls and voila. Pink was a guess, turned out to be a decent one. April is one of the few 71 year olds who could rock the pink highlights. :)

Skateboard Birthday Cake

Skater cake for a skateboard fan. Chocolate cake, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant for the name and silhouette. Was a last minute request, so this simple design fit the bill. :)
