Turtle Baby shower cake

This was for a very special occasion. My sister-in-laws baby shower. We're so excited to meet this baby boy. But in the mean time we had to party and shower her with love and gifts. They themed the nursery with turtles. It's the most adorable room. Turtles are one of my brother's favorite animals, I did a turtle cake for him a couple years ago. Anyway, so naturally the invitations were also themed with turtles. So this is the cake I did. I love it, it came out just how I wanted it to. I recieved a few new tools for decorating, and it makes things so much easier. Loved it.

Sushi Cake

I was making a spice cake with cream cheese frosting for my dad's birthday. But what do you do with cream cheese frosting, it's not something you can decorate with. I remembered seeing a sushi cake, it was going to be perfect, since we were taking him to Shogun, a teppanyaki place, for dinner.

It was really fun to do, and so simple. The cup has a silicon cupcake cup, cut short, with corn syrup and black food coloring. We bought the chopsticks at World Market. The rest was fondant and rice crispy treats. If I had more time, I would have made a cool bamboo looking border for the bottom of the cake, but time was very limited.

Another Baby shower cake

This is funny, because I had two baby showers using the same napkins. But this time it was just for a boy, so I left out the pink. I didn't have as much time to do this one, so it's not as detailed.
