Rubik's Cube Cake

Yesterday we had Easter dinner at my parents' house with my dad's family.  We were also celebrating my cousin Josh's birthday.  So, of course, a reason to make a cake.  :)

I got the idea for the cake from browsing through the different cakes from Google.  It took about an hour to dye and cut out all the squares.  You need 45 squares, 8 of each of the 6 colours (with 3 left over).  The red was really a pain to dye, always is and my hands looked like a bloody massacre had taken place when I was done.  Of course when I was all done then I found my pre-dyed red fondant.  Oops!

This was my first time doing a 3 tiered cake.  Completely forgot about the need for using dowels and a platform so the bottom layer got a little squished from the weight after a while.  But not too bad thankfully.

    Fab cake. I just made a similar one. Did you cover the three layers separately in black fondant or stack first & cover in one piece? I did them separately but it wasnt so neat.

      I did them separately. I don't think I could handle the stress of trying to do it one piece! However the effect would really I'd imagine.

My Little Pony Pull Apart Cupcake Cake

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds.  To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once.  You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture.  The clouds piped out perfectly.  The rainbow was a little more difficult.  Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

 These types of cakes are so much fun to do.  Over the top goodness!  Especially, when the original plan  was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle.  When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft.  The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.

80th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

For this 80th birthday I was asked to make 6" cake and 8 dozen cupcakes.  I was told that the birthday girl liked flowers so that's what I went with for the decorating. I absolutely love how this cake turned out.  It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake.  I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers.  I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out.  For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers.  I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing.  Two dozen of each went t
