Logan's Galaxy Mirror Glaze Cake

It's another COVID birthday for Logan. No one saw that they'd be going through a 2nd birthday like this, but that's ok, we can still have cake!

Logan's cake is a 6" 3 layer chocolate cake with chocolate icing coated in a galaxy mirror glaze. I'm still pleasantly surprised when it turns out so nice like this. I borrowed the Apple logo and added a 15 inside for the cake topper.

Normally I would have made a half recipe for this cake but Mr. T reminded me that Mother's Day is in a few days and if we did a full recipe we could make cupcakes as well for our moms. He's pretty proud of this idea. Stay tuned for next blog post.

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.
