Fire helmet and hose

I was so excited to work on this cake. I'm very pleased with hwo it turned out. I'm not exactly sure what the cake is for other than a woman's husband. It could be a birthday I guess. All in all, I hope they really like it. It's mocha cake with ganache and marshmallow fondant. The badge on the hat is the logo that she sent me. (see below) I think it looks great!!!! Hopefully the client will like it!!!!

 

Doodlebops with pink and purple

Vanilla pound Doodlebop cake. Accents and faces are marshmallow fondant the rest is vanilla buttercream. The birthday girl apparently loves pink and purple and the Doodlebops. I tried to mix it all together.

Baby Rattle Cake

Red velvet baby rattle cake covered in buttercream. Cake was for a baby shower.

Toy Story

Toy story cake for my friends son Owen. Cake is vanilla pound with chocolate buttercream and strawberry yogurt with vanilla buttercream. All covered in fondant. The figurines and number 2 were added at the party so I didn't take a photo at home. I think the birthday boy was happy with it.

Flower Basket Birthday Cake

I love a challenge, I think I've said that in the past, but this is the first time that I was REALLY nervous for a cake.

1. I was given a family recipe to bake for the cake.

2. I was making it for a cake baker/decorator.
3. There were specific requests as far as color, product use, etc.

I'm not saying that the client was difficult, far from it. I just put a lot of pressure on myself to try and get this one right. Lucky for me I got GREAT feedback and the client was VERY pleased.

Minnie Mouse

Here's a Vanilla pound Minnie Mouse cake I did for a little girls second birthday. The ears are made of chocolate and the rest of the cake is vanilla buttercream and vanilla pound. I was so excited I used a new method to get my buttercream smooth and it worked really well. I used a paint roller!!!

Crazy times ahead...

One of my busiest weeks yet is quickly approaching. I'm SO excited. Right now it feels like the calm before the storm. :) Most of my orders tend to be on weekends generally, Friday and Saturday pick ups. But next week I've got cakes through the week and I'm really excited about that! Lot's of baby showers too! Yay for the baby boom. :) Cakes in the next week or so include a baby bum, baby rattle, flower basket, Minnie Mouse and Toy Story... that's just to name a few! Keep checking back to see the final creations!

On another note... I got to do another spiderman cake last night. Happy Birthday Nikolas! He's my daughter's daycare providers son, who turned 4. WOW. I didn't take any pictures of the cake, but here's what the last one looked like... they're virtually identical!
