Hello Kitty Cake

From little girls to college young women, females love Hello Kitty. This cake was made for a little girl's birthday party. The decorations were taken from the party decorations...that's where the stripes came from. The Hello Kitty on top of the cake is made out of fondant and gum paste.

Strawberry Shortcake Cake

When it comes to certain children's birthday themes, I find that sometimes it's easier and more practical to find a toy of the theme and use it as the cake topper. I decided to do this with the Strawberry Shortcake cake because 1. I was short on time and 2. I didn't know much about Strawberry Shortcake.

The cake is strawberry cake with buttercream icing. The other decorations are buttercream and fondant.

Minnie Mouse Cakes

Little girls still love Minnie Mouse. It's one of the most popular cakes for little girls birthdays that we do. Everyone instinctively knows the theme of the party when they see the iconic mouse ears on the birthday cake. Here are just a few versions that we have created....

Wizard of Oz Cake

This cake took four long days to complete. The biggest challenge was trying to tell the wonderful Wizard of Oz story on a layer cake. Another challenge was making the main characters because finding Wizard of Oz characters is impossible unless you want to invest major money.

The characters are made from fondant mixed with gum paste. 

Dorthy's house was made from modeling chocolate. The other detail,( i.e. yellow brick road, witch's legs, basket, ToTo, and the melted witch ) were all made from fondant.

Thomas the Train Cake

Little boys love Thomas the Train, so this is a must cake to have in the cake portfolio. I used a actual Thomas the Train toy for the cake topper. Kids love to have something to keep from their birthday cake and it's almost like receiving an extra birthday present.

The grass and clouds are made from buttercream icing.

Most of the other decorations are made from marshmallow fondant.. including the train tracks, trees, and barnyard animals.

Rubber Ducky Cake

This is an easy and fun cake to do for a young child's birthday or a baby shower. The rubber duckys are really rubber duckys! The "wooden tub " is made from Kit Kat bars. The "bubbles" are mini-marshmellows.

For some reason I could not get the whole cake picture to load...

The Princess Cake

This cake was one of the most entertaining cakes June Jr.(my youngest daughter)and I created. I say entertaining because castle turrets can look very strange and comical if not done right. I believe we redid them about three times before we came up with the ice cream cone structure. This made a huge cake.
