Twice As Much Fun!

When two brothers celebrate their birthdays together... it's twice the cake and twice the fun! Four-year-old Stone wanted a Curious George cake and younger brother Holden wanted something with race cars for his second birthday. Since the parties were combined, we decided on two, four layer 8 inch cakes, both decorated with yellow buttercream and red and blue homemade fondant decorations. Curious George would be chocolate cake and the race car would be white cake. Curious George was lots of fun to create. The race car became a combination of Holden's dad's favorite nascar driver Kasey Kahne and Lightening McQueen... but with Holden's name and age. The boys LOVED their cakes and took the fondant characters home to enjoy later!

A Camouflage Wish Cake and Cupcake Tower

Nine year old Ben loves playing Army and wanted a camouflage cake for his birthday party. The 6 inch wish cake is wrapped in camouflage fondant with silver fondant painted dog tags with Ben's name and age on them. The cake and cupcakes are all yellow cake with buttercream frosting... Ben's favorite! The tank and candles are the only things not edible or made by hand. This cake was a fun challenge! Happy Birthday Ben!

Cupcake Tower Debut!

A wonderful family friend wanted "the cutest cupcakes ever!", so we designed Alysse's pink and lime green ribbons, petals and pearls cake and cupcake tower around her 2nd birthday invitation. We went with a 6 inch amaretto cake with bavarian cream filling for her to make a wish on and for the parents to eat, and just over 2 dozen white and strawberry cupcakes. This cake was made with homemade fondant that was pearlized for a little girl who LOVES her pearls! I loved making this ultra girlie cake for a very precious two-year-old!
