Moana Cake

When I was asked to make this cake I had not yet seen the movie.  So Miss E and I had a movie night and watched this together for research. I had watched a video on how to make the cake before I saw the movie and didn't make any sense to me.  Now the under water or the parting of the water makes so much more sense.


For the cake I made two 8" rounds and cut one in half and layered them to build the wall of water. For the water I dyed the white fondant with different shades of blue and didn't completely blend it all together to give the multicolour look.  For the ocean floor and sand I used graham cracker crumbs.


For little Moana I printed off and fussy cut the figuring and coloured her in using my Copic markers.


The fish and seaweed I made out of fondant and added pearl dragees as bubbles.  For the white caps on the waves I just added buttercream icing using a tooth brush.

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.
