Girlfriends Cookie

Yum yum... Makes me want to have a girls weekend myself! A Giant chocolate chip cookie for a "Girlfriends" weekend. Chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream 'decorations'.

Optimus Prime

I was asked to do a Transformers cake. The boys favorite is Optimus Prime... well... I wish I could have done a cake that transforms, but that just won't happen. :) So, I decided to do the tractor trailer version of 'him'. I think he turned out pretty good. He's vanilla pound cake with vanilla buttercream. Everything is cake except for the two 'tubes' on the side of the cab (exhaust pipes???)They're cookie sticks covered in buttercream. The wheels are pure'd cake mix with black buttercream and molded into tires.

 

Simple Bday cake

Mocha fudge cake with chocolate buttercream. I've been wanting to do this design FOREVER. I'm pleased with the outcome. Simple but pretty.

 

Backyardigans

Here's the whole crew, Pablo, Uniqua, Tyrone, Austin and Tasha. Mia recognized them when they were still in pieces! It's my first time sculpting with just fondant. TONS of fun. VERY time consuming though, BUT in the end, I LOVE the result!!!! Hopefuly the Mommy who ordered it and the birthday girl will love it too.

Monster Truck

I forgot to post these pictures last week, so I thought, better late than never!

I was asked to do a Monster truck for two brothers. One was turning 2, the other 4. Apparently they were very pleased with the truck! The cake is vanilla pound with a few vanilla wafers, buttercream and some chocolate buttercream for the mud. Oh and the tires are doughnuts covered in melted chocolate. Yum yum.

Backyardigans take 3

Ok... so I didn't do an entire backyardigans cake yet. BUT I have done Uniqua twice and so I've sorta tackled them... This time though, the whole crew is gonna be there, and I'm hoping for it to be one of my best! I'll be trying out new techniques all around and can't wait to show you. Now I just need to get started!

I'll be posting pics Friday, so stay tuned!!!

NB Karting Cake

I don't generally post many cakes pictures of one cake... but this cake is special and I decided that just one picture wasn't enough. I was asked to do a "karting" cake for the local karting awards banquet. I was SUPER excited to do the cake but the pressure was on to do something good. I Googled a bit, I searched here and there but in the end I had to go with my gut. I sketched out my idea and then, thanks to my amazing husband, I spent a couple, no a few, no MANY hours perfecting this cake. I'm completely overjoyed with how it turned out. By far it's my most favorite of all time. From the treads on the tires, to the trees, to the logo that I piped by hand, I just love it all. Lucky for me, the client seemed VERY pleased also.
