Ugly Sweater Christmas Cake

Christmas Cupcakes

Nothing too fancy, just some simple Christmas-y cupcakes for coworkers. I also did some with wreaths and other tree designs but neglected to get photos of those, somehow. :-/ They were fun and festive, though! :-)

Polar Bear Christmas Cake

Polar Bear Christmas cake for our Miller Christmas party last weekend. I decided to have a little fun with it and aren't polar bears fun? I especially love the one swimming in the water . . . :) Vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, vanilla creme filling and marshmallow fondant accents, hand formed. I do love playing with fondant . . .

Snowman Christmas Cake

Surprise Christmas cake for my dear friend Darci and her family. :) Darci is one of those people who REALLY appreciate cake and cake decorations and the time it takes to do it. And I am one of those people who really appreciate people who appreciate . . . well, you get the idea, ha ha. At any rate, I knew that Darci had family coming into town and that this would be a perfect opportunity to surprise her with a cake the whole family could enjoy through Christmas. I even employed the help of her husband (who in turn, asked his son, who in turn asked his grandma, LOL) to get me a photo of their Christmas tree so I could see how it was decorated and try to coordinate the cake. Unfortunately, the photo was a little dark and had I known better I would have added lots of lime green and some red and green polka dots just to make it even more whimsical. I do think it turned out cute, all the same. Vanilla cake, vanilla creme (cake batter, lol, another story, another time) filling, buttercream frosting and hand formed marshmallow fondant accents. Darci loved it and I think they all enjoyed a little sweet surprise!

Penguin "Snowman" Christmas Cake

Fun little Christmas cake for a friends daughters choir fundraiser! Once again, I got to choose the design, as long as it was Christmas, which is my very favorite way to decorate a cake. Penguins are always a favorite, and I received lots of compliments on this one. I did search some cake photos online and then tweeked a cute one that I saw here: Link to Penguin Cake Photo I did change mine up, the snow penguin is all my own . . . brilliant, right? LOL
It's chocolate cake, raspberry filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents, and hopefully tasted as good as it was cute!

 

Isn't the little guy below adorable? I completely took that idea from the same photo as is linked above.

 

My 18 yr old 6'5" son has a thing for penguins. Cute, right? LOL. Anyway, he wanted me to make him one. I turned him down, but then changed my mind and made the below cutie and sent him text photo of it. He loved it. I guess you're never too old for a little penguin fun. ;o)

HOTSHOTS INC. CHRISTMAS PARTY CAKE

Christmas party cake for Lance and Mary Curtis, for their HotShots, Inc. company party. I LOVE it when I get free rein over the design, which was the case here. Soooo, Santa has opted to use HotShots to expedite his Christmas deliveries this year, lol, as noted on the sleigh. Had time permitted, I would have loved to add some reindeer and Santa himself, and even some elves. :o) Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and vanilla creme filling. The sleigh and presents are marshmallow fondant and the Christmas tree is rice krispy treat decorated with buttercream and mmf accents.

Ugly Sweater Cake

This cake was made for an "Ugly Sweater" Christmas party! I love that idea. I also loved how the cake turned out, would be fun to make more of these and make them all different, so many "ugly" sweater designs to choose from out there, ha ha! This cake is an 11 x 15 golden vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling and all buttercream frosting, free-hand designs.
