Peace of Cake

This was another quick cake, which I'm finding quite fun, bake it one day decorate it the next. Partly because it's fun to do cakes and the quick ones can't be too complicated. So I get the chance to make a cute, fun, yet simple cake. This was for a 10 year old girl.

Just a simple 2 layer 8" Lemon cake with pink buttercream frosting.

The peace sign is a marble green and purple fondant. The flowers, name and border are also fondant.

Race Car Cake



This cake was so much fun to make. I saw a "2" like it online, and thought it would be perfect for a friends 4 year old. He wanted a race track with 2 cars. I used a lot more fondant that I usually like to. But it was needed to get a cute cake. This is one of my favorites.

Diego Safari Cake

This cake was for Nathan's 4th birthday. We had the party at a place with a jungle theme, so we through Diego in there as something familiar. This was pretty simple, 3 -6" layers of chocolate cake, frosting with chocolate and then fondant trees, leaves and animals(eyes too). The Diego is a candle I bought at Party City.

Cupcake Birthday Cake

This was for Teresa's 12th birthday. I didn't purchase the pan, I just stacked layer after layer. I learned some valuable lessons, lemon cake can't be carved or stacked, it just isn't sturdy enough(I was also told not to attempt it with strawberry). I should have bought the pan, or borrowed it. But it was fine. We got pictures before the party. (it ended up falling) And we were still able to serve it. It was modeled after the party invitations we made.
