Yoshi Cake

This cake is a 2 layer 10" that is half strawberry and half vanilla.  It was not as easy to get the two halves to come together and be even.  Usually I am pretty good at getting the cake to be even all around.  This time there was a definite difference from one side to the other.  The "top" of the cake is probably a good half inch higher than the "bottom". At least I didn't take out a ruler. Hopefully by the way I decorated the top of the cake it will look like I meant to do it.

According to Miss E Yoshi is not the real Yoshi because the bottom of his shoes are supposed to be yellow and not brown. She demonstrated the inaccuracy by pointing out the yellow soles on her Yoshi stuffy.  I tried to explain that I was using my artistic liberties.  I think she rolled her eyes as she walked away in disappointment.

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.
