Flying and Fairies

After a summer hiatus from cake decorating I managed to present two very different, though both BeNi-worthy, cakes from the blue kitchen.

Here is the first...
For a FedEx family picnic at the Anchorage Zoo. It was a lovely day and a great day for a picnic and cake!

Secondly, a Princess in town was having her 3rd birthday and was in need of a chocolate cake with vanilla pudding filling to help celebrate.

Needless to say, I'm resting today and trying not to eat too many pieces of scrap cake.

Lilac Birthday Cake

A friend ordered a 50th Birthday cake for her mom and requested lilacs...here's what we created.It's so fun to have my sister in town visiting for a few weeks. It was especially nice to have her help making all these little flower petals.

Chocolate cake with raspberry filling, marshmallow fondant and buttercream fondant, buttercream dots and chocolate branches!

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!
