Toilet Paper Roll Birthday Cake

This was a fun cake to do. At first I really wasn't sure how it would turn out. In the end I thought it was hilarious.

So, I started off with an 8" two layer square vanilla base tier. The filling was raspberry mascarpone mousse. It is so good! Then I covered it using the grass tip to look like carpet with buttercream icing. I would have used the filling but I didn't drain out the seeds and they would have clogged up the tip. It wouldn't have been pretty. Instead I dyed it to match the filling as close as possible to make pink shag carpet.

For the toilet paper roll I did a 6" 3 layer cake and covered it in fondant. I added an extra piece of fondant to make it look like the paper was unraveling. On the top I added a black circle of fondant to look like the empty space from the roll. Lastly, I took a toothpick and spun the cake around to make the indentations of a "roll" of toilet paper.

The signs I made out of fondant. In the picture I was sent the signs were made out of paper but I made these the night before and had time to harden. It probably would have taken me just as long to make them out of paper anyway.

Mr. T was my delivery man for this cake out to Hampton. Which was fine by him because it meant he got to get out of the house of madness for a few hours and stop by on his way home at a 7-Eleven to get a Slurpee.

Now onto doing up all the cupcakes and cake for Grandma Joyce's big bash tomorrow.

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.

WWE Birthday Cake

To decorate this cake I covered it in vanilla buttercream. The sides I covered in black fondant. To hide the uneven edge of the fondant I added a red border around the top. For the corners of the ring I used red bubble tea straws I had on hand wrapper with some DMC black floss and topped with black fondant. Happy Birthday I cut out with fondant. The WWE logo I printed off and backed it with a laminated piece of red card stock. Tommy was cut out using my Cricut machine. Cake: 10" chocolate layer and vanilla layer with vanilla pudding filling.
