A “Prep and Landing” Birthday Cake

This year for his 4th birthday, my cute nephew wanted a Prep and Landing (the Disney short that came out this past December) party. What a fun theme! This is a delicious chocolate bundt cake with a batter full of chocolate chips. I also spread a thick layer of homemade peppermint buttercream frosting (complete with crushed peppermint candies!) in between the two layers of cake. I then frosted the cake with a divine chocolate buttercream and added fondant stripes and a mini candy cane border.

Unfortunately, my sculpting skills were depleted by the fact that both my little ones have had a stomach bug the past couple of days. Luckily, I don’t think this 4 year-old will mind the paper elves stuffed into peppermint candies :)

Happy Birthday!

A Mini Birthday Cake for a Basketball Fan

This fun little cake was made for a basketball fan on his 35th birthday. Layers of devil’s food cookies sandwiched with delicious peppermint buttercream. The jersey was another cookie that I trimmed and then decorated with buttercream.

I took this pictures with a salad fork in them to help remind people how small these cakes really are.

Peppermint Holiday Cakes

These cute cakes were decorated to look like peppermint swirl candies. I even filled and frosted the mini cakes with peppermint buttercream! Layering this yummy buttercream with triple chocolate cookies made for one tasty combination. Think peppermint patties. The sparkly sprinkles topping each cake added some extra cheer. Happy holidays!

Dino Birthday Cake

I made this tiny cake for a friend of mine who just turned 2. The dinosaur is a miniature fondant sculpture (only about an inch big) resting on crumbled cookie “rocks”. The cake itself is made of triple chocolate cookies with a creamy chocolate buttercream filling and frosting.
