Happy Easter 2014

Just something small to enjoy with my family over our Easter weekend! Chocolate flavored cupcakes with mini eggs.

Minnie Mouse

A vanilla cake toped with buttercream. Yummy! I had a lots of fun making this.

Ben 10

This cake was a huge challenge. It was my first figurine ever. I had quite a few trail and errors but I still had a lot of fun putting this cake together.

Pink 40th Birthday Cake

This was a two tier vanilla cake.  It was a surprise cake for my client's mum.   A photo frame with a picture was going on top of the cake.

Dots, Flowers and Butterflies

This was a strawberry flavored cake for a little girl.

Pigs.... Oink Oink

My birthday is coming up and we celebrated it a week early visiting my Mom. It was fun spending time with my friends and family.  I treated us with a chocolate cake covered in chocolate moose with Kit Kat chocolate covering the sides.   YUM!  (I saw a cake like this one on Facebook and just had to try it)

The pigs 

Adding some detail to the pigs so that it looks like they are swimming in the mud

Cinderella Cake

 This was a pink strawberry flavored cake. I started off by per-heating the oven and greasing the cake mold and a standard round cake pan (forgot to take a pic of the round pan)

I baked the two cakes and left them to cool completely.

Once it was cold I cut off the crispy tops and stacked them with butter cream, I made a hole with a knife big enough for the top part of the doll to fit in. (I removed her legs)

I covered the cake in a thin layer of butter cream.

I made a triangle shape on the cake with a knife so that I knew where to begin and end my ruffles. When they were done I cut rectangular strips of light blue gum paste, added some pleads and stuck them to the cake. I also covered the top of the doll in gum paste. After the whole cake was covered I added some glitter to the cake with a soft paintbrush dipped in vodka.

I also made some strawberry flavored cup cakes with a strawberry filling topped with pink butter cream.

And what is a party without invitations?  I designed the template for this invitation, the mommy just added her own words and final touches.

Flowers and Butterfly Cake

I just love discovering and learning new things.  This was my first time making flowers and I was surprised at how easy these were. 

Farm Cake

Wow, my little man is turning three!!! He just loves animals. He has plastic farm animals and it can keep him busy for long periods of time.  So needless to say ...... We are going to have ourselves a Farm party!

For his school friends I made lots and lots of gum paste pigs. I baked chocolate cake (3/4 full) in empty purity bottles and in stead of using butter cream I filled the rest of the bottle with chocolate mouse. I thought it would give a more realistic "look" for pigs playing in mud. I also baked rabbit sugar cookies and decorated them with a thin layer of fondant.

Each kid in his class got a "goodie box"

Party time!

I painted some marshmallows with chocolate for the cow effect

Makeup Cake

This cake was a surprise made for the man in my life's daughter.  We planned and made this cake together. I had some cake mix left so we had a few cupcakes as well.

Spiderman Cake

I was privileged again to make a cake for my dearest friend whose son turned 3!  Last year we made him the Cars Cake...

I designed the picture for her that went on top of the cake.  The cake itself was plain vanilla but I divided the cake mix into two and colored it red an blue to give the cake a different effect. 

This is me in action putting on the final touches....

Boombox Cake...

A mom wanted this cake for her two sons.  They love music so she requested a boombox cake... She wanted a simple cake covered in butter cream.

Rainbow Butterfly Cake

This was a lot of fun. Here I made the party invitations, cupcakes and cake. It was for a girl named Xanadu (Xany)...
