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.

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

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

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!
