Flowers for a Friend Birthday Cakes

Raven — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 05:02:21 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of making some mini cakes for a friend from college for her birthday. She wanted 4 cakes with blue flowers on them. The cookies are white with an almond buttercream filling and a vanilla buttercream frosting. I will admit that when I made the 100 miniature royal icing flowers, I was sure they would completely cover the cakes. So, I didn’t pay much attention to my frosting color. As it turns out, I could have used about 75 more. Now I know! Sorry, dear friend, that the icing wasn’t a more pleasing color. All in all, I thought they turned out pretty sweet.

Four tiny cakes, each about 2.5 inches across.

The royal icing flowers.

A Bumblebee Transformer Cake

This weekend, I got to make a fun Bumblebee Transformer cake for my cute 4 year-old neighbor. I was more than a little intimidated by the prospect of sculpting Bumblebee out of gumpaste, but I think he turned out all right. And, yes, I chose to go with the retro/cartoon version. There’s no way I’d be able to sculpt the Bumblebee from the new movies! The cake itself was a full-size two layer snickerdoodle cake with lots of delicious cinnamon buttercream between layers and around the cake. It was covered with homemade marshmallow fondant. Yum!

So, happy birthday, my friend! I hope it was grand!

A “Prep and Landing” Birthday Cake

Raven — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:52:48 +0000

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

Raven — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:46:11 +0000

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.

So fun!

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.

Rainbows and Flowers Birthday Cake

Raven — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:24:58 +0000

I was so excited when my neighbor asked me to make a cake for her daughter’s 5th birthday. They asked for a full-size cake and the birthday girl wanted a rainbow on top and flowers on the sides of the cake. So fun and girly! The cake itself is layers of white cake filled with a delicious homemade strawberry buttercream. It was frosted with a vanilla almond buttercream and then decorated with marshmallow fondant accents. I had a great time channeling my 5 year-old self and decorating this bright and cheery cake!

Ice Cream Sundae Birthday Cakes

These custom cakes were created for a double birthday celebration. Each life-size scoop was baked to taste like the actual ice cream flavor. The strawberry scoop is strawberry cake with strawberry frosting, the vanilla scoop is white cake with vanilla buttercream, and the chocolate scoops is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Yum! The cherries and sprinkles are made of fondant and the cherry stem is a candle all ready for birthday wishing.

Kitty Cat Birthday Cake

Raven — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:43:45 +0000

This little birthday boy knew exactly what kind of cake he wanted for his 7th birthday. The Level 4 cake is made of triple chocolate fudge cookies and is filled and frosted with peanut butter buttercream. What a fantastic flavor combination! The birthday boy asked for a finish of sky blue fondant covered in multi-colored swirls and topped with a fondant sculpture of an orange striped kitty snacking on some milk. This tiny kitty (less than 1 inch long) is based on one of his stuffed animals and was a lot of fun to make. Happy Birthday!

Golfing Grandpa Cake

This Level 3 cake was made for a grandpa who loves to golf. Layers of yellow cookies sandwiched and frosted with vanilla almond buttercream are covered with marshmallow fondant. Yum!

This was a really fun cake to make. It was made for a young man who loves his Apple products, including his iPhone. Made of layers of chocolate and yellow cookies and filled with chocolate frosting, this Level 3 cake was then covered with fondant. The perfect birthday treat for this iPhone addict!
