Cake Endeavours

A big cake for a big milestone.  This one was two 9" x 13" cakes put together.  I rarely pipe on writing as I really need to practice more to be confident.  The 100 came out too wobbly for my liking so I added some embellishments to make it look like vines to make it look like that was on purpose.   Cake:   9" x 13" two-layer chocolate cake with buttercream filling               9" x 13" two-layer vanilla cake with buttercream filling

Victor's request for his birthday theme was tree-top trekking which included a giraffe and a monkey.  It is so humid in our place that I wasn't going to mess with a lot of fondant.  I ended up making this fun cake topper on my Cricut and I love how it turned out. I covered the cake in blue fondant.  It's so shiny because of how humid it is!  Trees I painted on with food colouring mixed with a bit of vodka to help them dry faster.  The alcohol evaporates as it dries.  Cake: 10" 2-layer cookies n' cream cake with vanilla buttercream filling.

Alexia's request was for a flamingo themed cake.  I knew right away that I was going to make 8 flamingos on my Cricut machine to represent Alexia turning 8.  They would each be decorated with a bright pink feather.  Little did I know that finding pink feathers would become a wild goose chase for Mr T and Miss E.  They did not realize what they were signing up for when they went out to buy them for me.  After at least 6 different stores they were able to find pink feathers on cat toys.  At least our cats got some new toys out of it, minus any pink feathers of course!  Cake: 8" two-layer vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing
