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. 

Graduation Cake with Silhouettes and Stars

Another great kid graduates and the opportunity to create his cake us given to me. Lucky me, because for this cake I was given carte blanche in design, and that made me very happy. Because the school colors are red and black, silhouettes seemed a natural choice, and a great contrast.

Used the quote "Reach for the moon, even if you fail youll still be in the stars," and allowed red, black and white stars to complement the cake.

Graduate picked the flavors, vanilla with French vanilla cremè filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. Simple in taste, simple in design, but I think it turned out just right.

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. :)

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.

 

Wolf Silhouette Birthday Cake

Well, I WANTED to spend a lot more time on this cake and make it kind of cool . . . but with 3 other cake events the same weekend, well, the family cake was kind of the after-thought, lol. Not lesser in love, just lesser in time, ha ha. This is a two layer yellow cake with chocolate creme filling and chocolate fudge frosting. The moon and wolf silhouette are buttercream frosting, free-handed. It would be kind of fun to do an entire cake in yellow or white, and then cover it with different silhouettes of animals, flowers, etc. Or a cityscape!!! Yes, a cityscape would be very cool and may be coming soon to a cake blog near you . . .

Welcome Baby Silhouette Cake
