Bunny Cake

I have a good friend, who jokingly talks about his "Happy Bunny Voice."  So, I couldn't resist making him a pink bunny cake for his birthday! 

The cake was a white cake with a lemon curd filling and lemon buttercream frosting.  The bunnies were marshmallows.

Peeps!

I love Peeps! 

 What's better than a Peep? 

Peeps on cupcakes!

Super Mario Cake

A friend of my son was turning 5 and loves Super Mario. 

Being a Super Mario Bros fan myself, I jumped at the chance to make a Super Mario cake (oh the memories!). 

 I had so much fun making it, too! 

 The cake is covered in buttercream frosting and all of the Super Mario decorations were made with fondant.

The decorations were detailed with royal icing. 

 Love the little mushroom guys!

Thomas the Train Cake

Some good friends of ours' son was during two and loves Thomas the Train. 

 So I set to task to make him a Thomas train cake to surprise him! 

 All of the train is covered in fondant and the "coal" is crumbled oreo cookies.

 The Thomas face was made with gumpaste.

A co-worker of mine is a huge Delaware Blue Hen's fan.

Farm Animal Cupcakes

My youngest is in LOVE with animals! 

 Therefore, for his 2nd birthday I made him a TON of farm animal cupcakes. 

Each cupcake topper is fondant and some of the details are piped royal icing.

2011 Super Bowl Cake

 This is a fun cake I made for a Super Bowl party I was attending this year.

 The cake was a double layer 9x13 Lemon Almond Awesome cake covered in buttercream frosting and green fondant.

 The Super Bowl, Steelers, and Packers logos were all hand-drawn with edible food coloring markers and then painted with luster dust.

 The logos were then steamed to give them a shiny coating.

 The field "lines" and cake border were created using royal icing.

The footballs along the sides are fondant that were painted with brown food coloring and the stiching was replicated using royal icing.

Volleyball Player/Philly Sports Fan Cake

This is a cake I did for a friend who is an AVID Philly sports fan and volleyball player.

Each Philly team logo and George Mason logo were hand drawn using edible markers.

 The bottom tier was chocolate cake and the volleyball is yellow cake.  Both were covered in buttercream and fondant.

Candy Corn Halloween Mini Cupcakes

 I made some mini-cupcakes for my sons' playdate Halloween party that we're hosting tomorrow. 

 The cakes are actually layered in the candy corn colors (white, orange, yellow), but you can't see it for the black halloween wrappers.

Buttercream frosting, sprinkles, and a candy corn are placed on top!

Volleyball Cakes

I recently made three volleyball cakes for some local seniors. 

 Each cake was a carved yellow cake covered in buttercream.

 The seams of the volleyball was then marked into the frosting and the girls' names and numbers were put on top in their school colors.

MMA Wedding Cake

This is a wedding cake I made for a friend.  It's a three tier (10-8-6) cake covered in buttercream.  The MMA championship belt and "Round 1", "Round 2", and "Round 3" signs are gumpaste with royal icing detail.

Princess Castle Cake

This is a two tier castle cake I made for a little girl's birthday. 

 The bottom tier is the Lemon Almond Awesome Cake (Pound Cake) and the top tier is a marble cake. 

Both have a raspberry buttercream filling and are covered in buttercream. 

The towers and turets are part of the Wilton Castle Cake kit that I decorated with buttercream, royal icing, and silver sprinkles. 

The flowers were made with royal icing and the "stones" are fondant.

Roopa's Birthday Cake

My friend Roopa recently celebrated a birthday.  Not only did I actually wear a skirt to work (first time in 6.5yrs!), but I also baked her a cake!  It's a double 9" layer spice cake with buttercream frosting.  The cake was covered in a deep red fondant.  The roses are yellow fondant and the rest of the decorations were piped buttercream.

Bike Cake

My friend and her husband LOVE to bike, so when his birthday came around I made him a cake! 

The cake is a double 9" layer dark chocolate fudge with a coconut filling. 

It is covered in chocolate ganache and then decorated with fondant.  The bikes were hand painted on the fondant.

Superhero Birthday Cake

This is a superhero birthday cake I made for my son's 4th birthday.

The cake is a two tier cake--the bottom tier is chocolate with chocolate fudge filling and the top tier is a marble cake with chocolate fudge filling. Both tiers are covered in buttercream and fondant.

The "superheroes" were modelled after the birthday invitation and are painted on gumpaste.

The superhero logos and "city" is also painted gumpaste.

He really wanted to make sure that all of his superheroes were covered, so we have Ironman, Batman, Spiderman, and Superman "logos" on the cake.

We also had a #4 sparkler for when everyone sang Happy Birthday to him.
