Transformers Cake

Luca for his 8th birthday requested a Transformers cake. His favourite character is Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots. For his cake, I did a 10" 2 layer Perfect Chocolate Cake with butter cream filling dyed blue. I used the latest version of the Autobots emblem for the top.

I was supposed to bring the cake in on Thursday but that was the day that Sears was coming to look at our fridge so I said that I would deliver the cake in the evening. Well, the weather was pretty nasty and I am a total wimp when it comes to driving in the snow, especially when I have to go west of Yonge! Fortunately, Mr. T offered to drive it up for me. He's definitely a good guy to have around.

Luca was very happy with the cake!

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.
