Magic Birthday Cake

I made this cake for a friend of my in-laws who is a magician.  Miss E is fascinated by magic and got a magic kit for her birthday from her grandparents.  Doug showed Miss E how to do some of her tricks.  She was very excited.  The first time Miss E met Doug and his wife she was told she was going to meet Grandma and Grandpa's friends Doug and Bambi.  When she was introduced to them she asked, "So, where's the deer?"

This was a 2 layer 8 inch cake. Chocolate cake, with vanilla icing.  One day I will perfect smoothing out icing or I will find Decorating Triangle I bought to add different effects and will make life so much easier!


The rabbit coming out of the hat was made with fondant and "sprinkled" with shimmer dust by Miss E; she had lots of fun with that as you can see.

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.
