Nelson's Movie Cake

When I realised that Nelson's birthday party was on a weekend when I already had 3 cakes to do I sent his mom a message asking Nelson to go easy on me for his theme. He likes to give me a challenge. Thankfully his party theme was movies and I could do a cake along that theme too. Woohoo! This basically gave me carte blanche.

Remember how I bought the brown fondant instead of black? Yeah, well, I still needed black fondant. I realised this morning that I was going to have to dye my own black fondant. So, I didn't get off so easy. I had black dye all over my hands. It's still under my nails. Nelson is not a fan of fondant either so for extra punishment I decided to ice the cake in red icing. It's so much fun trying to get a true red colour. Thankfully, Americolor Super Red really is super!

Nelson is an amazing kid and totally worth the effort. Happy Birthday Nelson. Hope you have an amazing year.

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.

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.

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...

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.
