Sweet Celebrations

somewhere over the rainbow...

...I will have time to get cakes on my blog in a timely manner.  But on this side of the rainbow am I, playing catch up again.  This was a fun and girly cake I did back in April.  Yes, you read that right.  It was April.  Get with it, you say?  Yes I know.  I just don't make the time to edit pics and get them on here.  I'll try to do better.....maybe.  ;-)

The most challenging part was the ruby red slippers.  I made sugar cookies and added icing and red glitter which made them extremely heavy and I only ended up with one good slipper.  So I have one cookie slipper and one fondant slipper.  The one you see here is fondant. 

The bottom cake was chocolate and peanut butter filling.  The top cake was chocolate chip and I just can't remember the filling for that one.  That's what I get for waiting so long to blog it.

This was my favorite aspect of the cake.  Little witch legs hanging out from under the house.

And this is the back of the cake with the sugar cookie red slipper.  Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  Emerald City was pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate colored green and green glittery sprinkles.   

minnie mouse

I saw a version of this cake a while back and just loved how simple yet cute it was.  So I was very excited when I had the opportunity to do one like it.  Not to mention I love Minnie. 

The cake was chocolate with cream cheese filling.  The mouse head was cake covered with fondant, the ears were fondant as well as the bow and other decorations.

 

curious george

A Curious George cake for a curious (not to mention adorable) little boy who turned one.  For another friend.  Another first birthday.  I love it!

The cake was all chocolate with fudge filling and buttercream icing.  All the decorations were marshmallow fondant.  Don't you love those little bananas? 

Happy Birthday Noah!!

  

Cars

I took a little blog break last week, but I'm back with some very exciting cakes.  So I'll paly catch up for the next couple of weeks.  Today is a Cars cake.  What little boy doesn't like Cars?  Mine sure do! 

 

This particular Cars cake was for a very cute little boy's birthday.  My pictures are before the actual cars were added and the mom of the birthday boy was nice enough to send me some pictures of the finished cake at the party.

The bottom tier was white cake with cream cheese filling and the top tier was chocolate chip cake with chocolate buttercream filling.  The cake was covered with marshmallow fondant and the decorations were fondant.

Added touches:  a stack of tires and road signs.

    

Thanks for looking!

  

hannah montana

 

My very first Hannah Montana cake was a lot of fun.  Although you really can't tell it's for a Hannah Montana party, it's still cute, sassy and perfect for the birthday girl, Ms. Sassy Pants.

The cake was yellow with cream cheese filling and sliced strawberries.  The icing was buttercream and all of the decorations were marshmallow fondant.

 

superman monster truck

This was a fun cake for a little boy's birthday.  I must say it was quite a challenge to make the truck look like it was about to smash some cars.  The incline posed a little bit of a support problem.  I could just picture in my mind the whole truck sliding backwards and crashing.  But, in the end it worked out.  I used some of my math and engineering skills and figured out how to make it work. 

The bottom cake was yellow with whipped cream filling and chocolate icing.  The truck was chocolate cake and covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.  The cars were rice krispy treats covered with fondant.

 

 

super hero birthday

My oldest son turned five earlier this month.  He decided he wanted a superhero birthday party so I went with a cake that incorporated several of his favorites.  The board was of course Spiderman.  The bottom tier was Batman and the cake was chocolate cake with chocolate chips and fudge filling....more like death by chocolate but it's my favorite because I am definitely a chocolate lover.  The middle tier was Hulk and more chocolate cake with peanut butter filling.  This was a hit at the party and the first flavor to go.  The top tier was Superman and yellow cake with cream cheese filling.  All icing was buttercream and all decorations were fondant.

 

 

The party was fun and the birthday boy had a great time!

max and ruby

This was such a fun and challenging cake done for a cute little girl's birthday.  The top tier was chocolate cake with cream cheese filling and the bottom tier was yellow cake filled with chocolate butter cream icing.  Both were covered with marshmallow fondant and all of the decorations were fondant.

 

 

 

halo 3.....huh?

I was asked to do a Halo 3 cake and was even sent a picture of what it looks like, but since I like to know what I'm making I had to look it up for a little more info.  If you are like me and don't know, Halo 3 is an Xbox game.  The cake was yellow with whipped cream filling, butter cream icing and the logo was cut out of fondant.

 

batman

This was for my cousin's 6th birthday.  The batman was made out of rice krispy treats (I'm starting to love that stuff.) and covered in fondant.  The cake was chocolate, cream cheese filling, butter cream icing and fondant decorations.  Happy Friday!

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Micah!

 

And two more little cuties....my niece, Ms. Priss and my Little Man.  They are quite a pair!
