Designer Barbie Birthday Cake, Purple and Pink with Black Accents

This is my sweet little nieces 6th birthday cake. It's the 4th year in a row that she's requested a Barbie cake, lol. I designed this dress by combining looks from a few different cakes, as well as images of Barbie clothing. It's definitely a one of a kind, lol. The dress is chocolate cake with a midriff of rice crispy treat, covered with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant. The bottom tier is vanilla with vanilla crème filling. Lots of marshmallow fondant all over this cake, but no tylose needed, fortunately-the kids LOVE to eat that marshmallow fondant!

Couldn't resist adding a photo of my sweet niece with her birthday cake. ;-)

Wine Glass Birthday Cake

Cheers! 21st Birthday Cake with Beer Mugs

Wow-Time has been FLYING by and I have been so busy that I have clearly neglected getting this blog updated. Can't believe I haven't posted a THING since September! Well, I HAVE made cakes since then, so bear with me while I spend a little time adding posts today. . . I have 5 months to make up for!

I'll start off with the 21st birthday cake for my second oldest . . . Since his birthday was clear back in August, it's about time, lol. I've always found it difficult to find creative ways to decorate chocolate covered cakes, especially for men. For his 21st, though, beer mugs seemed appropriate so that's what I went with. :)

His cake was his favorite: yellow with chocolate filling and chocolate frosting. Basic, but if that's what makes them happy, so be it. :) The beer mugs and 21 atop the cake are marshmallow fondant.

Frozen Olaf Birthday Cake w/ Cupcakes

Fun cake, but still several hours of work. Love how the trees turned out, but they were time consuming, and Olaf required a little balancing/construction work. This may convince me to start setting prices, lol. Still, I do like how it turned out. Banana cake, buttercream frosting and lots of marshmallow fondant. Trees are rice krispy treat underneath buttercream and mmf. Chocolate cupcakes.

Dora the Explorer Birthday Cake!

Colorful and fun cake! Funfetti cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. There are some toys on the cake, but I made the backpack, map, stars and presents from marshmallow fondant.

Beautiful Barbie Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece, Addy! Made her my first ever Barbie cake. :) Was a lot of fun! The dress is completely edible, about 2/3 chocolate cake and 1/3 rice krispy treat (around the midriff). The bodice is marshmallow fondant, and the rest of the icing is buttercream. Bottom layer is also chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling and buttercream. In addition to having fun with the cake design, this time I got to play fashion designer and hair dresser too, ha ha! (Although I must admit, Barbie and I had some serious words over that hair, nearly came to blows.)

Minnesota Vikings Birthday

Minnesota Vikings cake for my husbands birthday . . . and he said I'd never make him a special cake, hmmph!! LOL I thought this one was pretty special, and I'm not even a Viking's fan. :) Vanilla with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents, hand formed.

A Halloween Birthday

Halloween Birthday cake for a friend . . . Vanilla cake with raspberry and vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The silhouettes are hand piped and a lot of fun :0) I want to do more of them. Mmf pumpkins, spider and curly ribbon hand formed.

 

Coffee Logo Birthday Cake

My son and his co-workers threw a surprise birthday party for their boss, so I made them this 12" cake to help celebrate. Vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. I used the coffee house logo, shown below, as inspiration. :) Pam sent me the most wonderful handmade thank you card . . . I just love it when people appreciate my cakes, makes it so worth it!

Boise State Jersey Birthday Cake

40th birthday for the husband of a friend of mine, and she decided to surprise him with a party and this BSU Jersey birthday cake. It's chocolate cake, chocolate fudge filling, buttercream frosting with some marshmallow fondant accents (numbers, stripes). Had fun with it, especially since Boise State is my team, too!

Film Production/Movie Cake

This was a special cake, as it was for my son's 18th birthday. He loves production, film and editing, so I tried to put those things into his cake. He seemed to really like it, and I liked how it turned out as well. It's chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and filling, with marshmallow fondant accents, all hand formed.
