Superman Wedding Cake

It's been almost a month since I've had a cake to do. It was a nice summer break. I'm not going to lie. However, I have been dying to do this superman cake forever! I was so excited when I asked to do it for the topper of the cupcake stand. Yay! What a fun way to get back into the swing of things.

The topper was a 6" two layer cookies and cream cake with butter cream filling.

For the cake stand I made two dozen vanilla, chocolate and cookies & cream. At first I was going to do all the initials in the middle lettering but it was taking FOREVER to tap out and they were super brittle. Instead I didn't different lettering for each flavour.

My go to for cupcake liners in matte black. Of course when I went to do the cupcakes I had enough for 2 dozen but not the remaining 4 dozen. I sent Mr T out on a wild goose chase looking for even plain white ones forgetting that the bride had already made the covers to go over them so it didn't matter what the liner looked like. I didn't remember until saw the picture above. Oops!

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.
