Candy cake

Because 13 year old girls need more sugar than the meager amounts to be found in plain ole cake.

This was so much fun to do. All three of my kiddos now think they need a candy cake for their birthday.

The cake was vanilla with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. All the candy accents were in fondant.

What every girl wants for her 30th birthday...

A My Little Pony castle cake. Duh!

A friend ordered this for his wife...like...8 months ago. We decided to add the black scrollwork to make it a little edgy. Cuz she's an edgy kind of gal. And check out the big MLP. She's got safety pins all through her hair. Um, yeah. Cuz the birthday girl is kinda like that.

The cakes were chocolate with ganache filling and buttercream icing. The top layer was all gluten free for the birthday girl.

Autobots, roll out!

This autobot transformed into a chocolate OREO cake with a little ganache teaser.

Chocolate and transformers...two of my absolute favs.

King Kaliente

We had a small party for my son's 9th birthday. He opted for a Super Mario party this year. I decided to do a cake like one of his favorite worlds on Super Mario Galaxy.

This was my first attempt at making figures. I used all fondant. The cake is iced in buttercream. For flavors we went with a basic butter cake with raspberry mousse filling.

Here is my little Mario man.


King Kaliente. He's one bad dude.

Here is the final cake. I'd like to say that Mario won the battle but sadly he was decapitated. My little guy kept his head.

Just so you know I'm not crazy...well, actually I am a little crazy, but that I'm not making it up, here are some pictures from the game.

Magic School Bus

This was done for a 4 year old's birthday party. His favorite episode of The Magic School Bus is "gets baked in a cake." The bus is supposed to be kind of exploding out of the cake.

Chocolate cake and icing. Raspberry mousse filling.

Softball party

This was for an end of the season softball party. It had to be done on short notice so I didn't get to spend as much time on it as I'd hoped, but the girls loved it anyway...especially having their names on it. Their uniform colors were red with gray pants.

middle - strawberry lemonade

bottom - butter rum

each layer had buttercream icing and filling

My Little Pony Castle cake

This was made for my daughter's birthday. She wanted me to combine a castle cake with My Little Pony. I was short on time but this is what I came up with.

The bottom was strawberry lemonade cake with strawberries and cream filling. The top was vanilla with strawberries and cream filling. All icing was buttercream.
