SUPER HERO CAKE


When I asked what kind of cake the customer wanted for her son's birthday party, she said "Whatever, he likes, Superman, Batman, Spiderman.  So, whatever you think"  So, I couldn't resist doing all 3 in one cake.  The Superman cake was a 1 layer cake with buttercream frosting and a plastic Superman piece on top.  The Batman layer was double layered with buttercream filling and frosting.  The bottom was covered with red paper and piped "web" with black frosting.

MONKEY BABY SHOWER CAKE


I had so much fun sculpting these little monkeys.  The top & bottom layers were yellow cake and the middle was chocolate.  It is covered with buttercream frosting with fondant monkeys all around.  The trees were plastic cake toppers.

MACKENZIE CHILDS CAKE


This was a cake made for one of my lifelong friend's 30th birthday.  She absolutely adores Mackenzie Childs designs so we decided this would be the perfect cake for her.  This was a chocolate cake the PB chips and sweet PB frosting.  It was totally covered & decorated with fondant.  Below are the Mackenzie Childs pieces I used for inspiration.



NURSERY RHYME BABY SHOWER CAKE


This was requested by one of my child's teachers for a baby shower.  The Mom-to-be was decorating the nursery using inspiration from her favorite childhood stories.  I chose 2 of her favorites for this cake.  The cake was completely covered in fondant as were the little characters, baby and baby blanket.  Lettering was piped on with buttercream frosting.

IRON BOWL (ALABAMA/AUBURN) CAKE


I am soooooo much more fond of the bottom layer than the top on this one  =)  This was requested for an Iron Bowl/Birthday Party for a friend of mine.  The top layer was Chocolate and the bottom was Vanilla with Strawberry filling.  It is frosted with Buttercream frosting and I used edible printed sugar paper for the tiger stripes and houndstooth covering.  The football was piped on with buttercream.
