Sweet Celebrations

dinosaur fun

This was a fun dinosaur cake I did over the Summer for a cute little boy.  It was yellow cake, cream cheese filling and buttercream icing.

princess and the frog

 

These cute little frogs were for my second cousins birthday.  She turned four and of course celebrated with a Princess and the Frog themed party.  We decided to go with a cupcake tower but, once again, I don't have a picture of the completed tower.  But imagine, if you will, these frog cupcakes on a tower with this cake on top:

 

It really did turn out cute!

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.   

construction zone

A very good friend of ours had a birthday back in March.  His party theme was construction vehicles and turned out super cute.  The party was a blast!  All the kids brought their power wheels over and rode in the birthday boy's front yard.  I know my boys had so much fun and it looked like all the other kids were having fun as well. 

My oldest and his passenger friend.  A small look into the future, huh?
 

The birthday boy

My "too cool" nieces.

And since this is a cake blog and all, here is the cake.  It was white almond cake with cream cheese filling and iced in white butter cream.  The signs were fondant, the "asphalt" was oreo cookies mixed with a little cream cheese icing, the trucks were all toys and the logs were cracker sticks painted brown.

 

And one more of the birthday boy about to blow out his candles.
   

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.

 

sassy rocker

My niece had a "Rockin 2's" birthday party back in March.  Yeah I know it's late but better late than never.  The party turned out pretty cute and really fit her personality. For more pictures of her party, click here. 

She is a sassy little thing but oh so adorable!

One tier of the cake was chocolate with peanut butter filling and the other was white almond cake with cream cheese filling.  The cake was iced in butter cream and the decorations were all marshmallow fondant. 

Happy Saturday and thanks for looking!

 

 

princess

I love doing cakes for this family because the mom always comes up with such cute ideas like this and this.  They are some of my favorite cakes and this one was no exception.

 

The flavors were chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and yellow cake with cream cheese filling.  The cake was covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.

 

1st birthday

This is another cake from way back.  This cake was for my second cousin's little boy.  He's such a cutie and the spitting image of his daddy.  I know what he's going to hear four thousand and fifty two times throughout his life.  "You look just like your daddy!"  I know this because I have heard it ALL my life.  Not about my daddy though, but my mother.  :-)

 

Both tiers were yellow cake while one was filled with chocolate buttercream and the other cream cheese.  The icing was buttercream and the decoration was fondant.  Here's the "smash cake".

Have a great weekend!

monkeys and 100 days

My friend Kelly is doing her internship in a kindergarten classroom this semester.  They like to celebrate when they've completed 100 days of school.  I definitely agree that calls for celebration.  That's an accomplishment for a five year old.  I have a five year old.

 

The theme for their celebration was a tropical monkey type theme and Kelly asked for a cake.  It was a fun cake to do even if I am a month or two late with blogging it.  ;-)

The cake was yellow and the filling was cream cheese.  That's all Kelly will get.  She's wild and crazy like that!  The icing was buttercream and the decorations were all fondant.

 

cowboy campfire

I'm way behind.  This party was the first part of January and the cake was for Sassychick's youngest who is not so little anymore.  Can we make time slow down just a little?  No?  Oh well.

The theme was cowboy and there was a bonfire outside.  A hayride was planned but the temperature outside was arctic and there was no way a bonfire was happening. 

 

The top tier was yellow cake and the bottom was chocolate.  The icing and filling was buttercream.  The decorations were fondant and the campfire wood was none other than twix.  Yum!  The hay bales were rice krispy treats covered with toasted coconut.
