Transformer cake

Here is the cake I made for my son's birthday party that he had with all his little friends. He is obsessed with the transformers right now, especially Optimus Prime. Here is the Autobot logo in cake form. Logan, my son, wanted to help with the cake and wanted to paint one of the "cracks" in the cake. I let him pick his spot, he picked the back for some reason, and let him go at it. It looks more like a stick figure than a crack but he was very proud of it.

"Hand Turkey" cake for my little turkey

This year my son's 5th birthday fell on Thanksgiving. When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted he told me he wanted a hand turkey on it. I'm not sure where he came up with the idea but I thought it was a great idea. We used his hand as a template and created the turkey together. It was fun. Can't believe he is 5 already.

Wakeboard Cake

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! He turned the big 4-0 this year. He is an avid wakeboarder. The board is Styrofoam covered in fondant. I made the wakeboard bindings by using a baby bootie template and hand painted the logo on the board. It is a chocolate mint cake with mint buttercream.

Smurf cake

Two tier buttercream covered smurf cake with fondant and gumpaste details. Smurfs figures hand made by me. I still need some practice on my figures but I think I did ok for a first attempt at anything like this. Happy 5th Birthday Makenna!

Elmo!

First birthday cake for one of my best friends' little boy. This is the first fondant figure I have attempted. I am pretty pleased with how Elmo turned out.

Happy Birthday Little Victor Robert!

It's All Coming Up Roses

A bouquet of Roses for the wonderful midwife I work for.

It has been a tough year for her and thought she needed a pretty cake for her birthday.

She LOVED it.

It is banana cake with cream cheese frosting, her favorite.

I used Duff's easy rose technique for the flowers. The were pretty easy to make, still alittle time consuming but not nearly as much as the technique I used on my first attempt as roses in January. I think they turned out pretty well and will use Duff's trick for any future roses.

Sundae cupcakes

Fun little Ice Cream Sundae cupcakes for a co-worker. Chocolate cake with

vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. Yum.
