Bowling Shirt Birthday Cake

Not sure how I felt about this cake …But it was fun to do! Bowling shirt cake in 49er colors with a few bonus mini cupcakes with little bowling balls on them. The collar was kind of a pain, had to look at a fabric pattern to figure it out, ha ha. Chocolate/vanilla marbled cake, buttercream icing and a little marshmallow fondant. Cake was made using an 11" X 15" pan, cut off one end and shaped the sleeves from that. I ended up using nearly all of the cake, which I love, as it means more cake for the guests. 😊

Diva Movie Star Birthday Cake

Made this cake for my niece, who left the creativity up to me as long as somewhere in the cake I used teal and sea foam green. Now, my Gracie girl is as creative an 11 year old as you'll ever meet, so I commend her for letting me play designer and have a little fun. Chocolate cake (nothing but chocolate for this princess, her mom says its part of her DNA), vanilla créme filling, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant accents. The border around the middle of the cake is meant to look like film strip, a little more challenging to use her colors, but I loved the overall effect. Used silver edible pearls to add some shiny glitz, and the silhouette, which I felt classed it up a bit. My little star loved her cake and even hammed it up for the camera. Love that kid.

Tropical Birthday "No Worries, Be Happy"

A 50th birthday cake to help fellow Highlander Suzi  celebrate her guy. :) Chocolate cake, raspberry filling, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant accents. Palm trees on top are rice krispy treat covered with marshmallow fondant. The "sand" is graham cracker and sugar that I ground through a fine mesh to get it very fine. Surf and turf cupcakes on the side. Was a fun cake to make!
