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

I made this sweet chocolate cake for Miss E's bestie for their birthday celebration.    Cake: 6" 3-layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling.

For my Dad's birthday I like to go all out!  This cake did not disappoint for him! Next time, I think it would take a heat gun (from a distance) to make the chocolate chips shiny.  I didn't want to test that theory in case I melted them! Dad ready to dig in.  Love celebrating up at their trailer.  It was a gorgeous day! Inside view of the cake.  It is decadent! Cake:  Hershey Chocolate Bar Cheesecake

I love doing cakes for this most adorable cutie!  He lives in Miami now but comes up in the summer for a visit with his family.  This year's theme is Blippi.  The weather cooperated while working with fondant.  In the summer you never know with the humidity and living on the 20th floor how it's going to go. The glasses I made on my Cricut and laminated them.   Cake: 8" two-layer cookies n' cream with vanilla buttercream filling.    I some batter left over so I made some cupcakes for my Friday night crew to enjoy.

A fun wedding cake delivered today.  No one is as surprised as me that the fondant ears turned out and survived the car ride to the wedding!  Cake: 10" 3-layer vanilla with vanilla buttercream               8" 3-layer vanilla with vanilla buttercream   Gluten-free chocolate cupcakes for some guests to be able to enjoy dessert!
