Janice's Birthday Cake

I was very excited to make this cake for Janice's birthday, Mr. T's cousin.  Her mom called me over a month ago to ask me to make it.  The request was for red velvet; colours; black, white and red; she likes shoes and shopping.

I found another recipe to try out at Bakerella.com. So far it was the easiest to put together. I still am not a fan of this flavour so it is really hard for me to judge a good recipe.  However, the birthday loved it and so did the guests.  Hopefully, it was okay.  Mr. T is not a fan either so he was of no help!

I've used the shoes several times before on previous cakes.  It's no nice when I don't have to go surfing to find pictures for a cake when they are already in my library.  Saves a lot time.  For the shopping bags/purses I just cut them out free hand and rolled out the red handles.  There's over a hundred flowers decorating the cake.  Some are strategically placed to cover up some flaws.

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.
