Blast Off!

This is my 2nd cake for this birthday boy.  His request was to have a space ship and a rocket.  His past three birthday cakes have been all about Pablo from the Backyardigans.  The plan was to put Pablo's face on the side of the rocket, but that was not working out this morning.  After a quick check with L's mom I got the go ahead to scrap that plan.  Thank goodness!  I put a big 5 on it and paid homage to Pablo with his propeller beanie hat on the side of the 5.

For the rocket I used the Buzz Lightyear rocket from the Toy Story Cricut cartridge.  I've yet to try using Cricut to cut gumpaste so I just cut out the pieces I needed and traced out the pattern on the fondant.  For the stars I have the amazing little cutters that even have a spring loaded release button.  It's awesome!  I was able to cut out 60 stars in minutes.

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.

Carrot Cake for July Birthdays

To celebrate my dad and brother's birthdays this year we went up to my parents' trailer to have a campfire dinner; hotdogs over the fire with a side of corn on the cob.  So good! To finish off the celebration I made one of the family favourites, carrot cake with cream cheese icing.    This was a 3 layer six inch cake with lots of cream cheese icing.  Hopefully, it was enough for Geoff this time.

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.
