Keaton's Incredible Hulk Cake

My last cake this weekend. It has been a crazy weekend of birthday parties. Miss E went right to bed and was asleep within a few minutes. Swiming, Laser Quest and Zero Gravity Circus in one day will do that to a girl.

Keaton's request this year was for the Incredible Hulk. When I saw a cake with orange background, I had my inspiration. Keaton's favourite colour is orange.

This was a 10" 2 layer Perfect Chocolate Cake with buttercream filling. I really have the best friends. They pick a flavour and a theme and have me run with it. As a kid I always loved getting a card with my age on it. I felt so old and grown up moving into the next digit. Having what was once an unusual spelling for my name, it was even more exciting to see my name on anything with the correct spelling. For a kid's cake I always try and get their name and age on it for this reason.

80th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

For this 80th birthday I was asked to make 6" cake and 8 dozen cupcakes. I was told that the birthday girl liked flowers so that's what I went with for the decorating. I absolutely love how this cake turned out. It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake. I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers. I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out. For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers. I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing. Two dozen of each went t...

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.

Dentist Cake

One of Mr. T's coworkers asked me to do this cake for her sister that had graduated to be a dentist. She asked that it has a dentist theme with money on it. This was a 6" chocolate cake covered in vanilla buttercream. You can tell how humid the day was with the shine on the lettering. The tooth, toothbrush and bills were made from fondant.
