Cowboy Birthday Cake for James's 80th

 This was a big one!  Delivered to Orono Town Hall on a very snowy day.  The horseshoes and JAMES I cut out of some gold stock paper on my Cricut machine.  James's wife Vicki had already purchased the other cake toppers, so I added them when I got to the hall.  I dyed chocolate icing black to add the border and some decoration to go with the theme of black and gold.  I finally learned that it was much easier to dye chocolate icing black than vanilla buttercream!  


The cake was made up of 2 9 x 13 cakes.  One vanilla with chocolate ganache filling and one chocolate with vanilla pudding filling.  Covered in vanilla buttercream.


In addition to the cake I made two dozen vegan chocolate cupcakes, half with vanilla icing and half with chocolate.  Both vegan icings.



Dessert table all ready!

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.

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.
