Elmo Loves Cake!



I don't have overly wonderful photos of this cake, but it was really cute! It had some fondant yellow stars with fondant blue and red letters on toothpicks that spelled out the birthday boy's name, and those went into the red dots on the top of the cake. I didn't put them in for the delivery drive though so no good picture. Sorry!
The cake was white cake with a lovely strawberry and real whipped cream filling. Buttercream frosting and fondant accents. The bottom red border is all "2's" since this is a birthday cake for a 2 year old!

Ladybug Birthday!



I love the pointing finger in the second pic...it almost touched, but knew better. :)

Mother-in-law Cake!

This cake was made to celebrate my mother-in-law's 70th birthday last week. It's a plain white cake with a layer of mora jam between cake layers, frosted in buttercream.

Happy Birthday Monique!

Cream cheese frosting is a little tricky. I wish my hands were freezing like Ni's are, then it wouldn't melt in the bag so fast! I was still happy with how it turned out and just put the flowers over the swirls that weren't all that cute.
The cake is layered inside alternately-vanilla, strawberry, vanilla with white cream cheese frosting between. I snacked on the tops of the cake that I cut off and it is YUMMY!


Gotta love the sippy cup on the table!

A Simple Cake

Happy Birthday, Señora Jarrín!
I wanted to try making marbled fondant and this was the result! Not nearly as exciting as the Africa cake that "Be" made, but the 75-year-old birthday girl loved it!

African Safari

This is for a party we are headed to to celebrate our friends recent trip to Africa!


It is covered in marshmallow fondant and fondant detailing. The sunset is painted on using frosting coloring and rum, which was a first for me and I loved how it turned out! It dries so nice and shiny! We'll see if you can taste the rum at all in just a few hours...I used citrus flavored rum just in case you can. It's an orange flavored cake, so I thought it would be a good compliment.
