Those Darn Angry Birds

I made this adorable Angry Birds cake for a friend of mine. 

 The cake is chocolate covered in buttercream and then fondant. 

The cupcakes are yellow cake covered in chocolate buttercream with fondant toppers.

It's Outta Here

Here is a cake I did for my brother who is a big Ranger fan.  I decided to do a jersey.  I asked my sis-in-law what his favorite jersey color was, and made my jersey that color.  This is made to look like the back of the jersey.  I used the number 37 because that is how old he was.  Truth be told his favorite player of all times for the Rangers is Nolan Ryan so we could have used 34 as well.

The cake is a strawberry cake with buttercream icing.  I then covered it in red marshmallow fondant.  I piped on the name and number using buttercream as well.  It was a big hit.

Giraffe Fun For Little One

Back in March, I made some cakes for a special little girl, my niece.  She turned 1.  So, of course we had to have a smash cake.  Mom says she's all crazy about giraffes.  So, that's where I started from.

This little cutie became the topper for the smash cake.  I made him using the tutorial from here.  It is in a different language.  You can translate it to English.  But you really don't need to the images are self explanatory.  The only thing I did differently, was his little knobbys.  I rolled some fondant onto some shortened toothpicks because I wanted them to stand up more than in the tutorial.

I also made a bigger cake for the big kids.  The pattern was made with fondant, and the rest is buttercream.

Hope you enjoy it.

Supernatural Birthday

My brother asked me ever so sweetly if I would make a Supernatural cake for my sister-in-law's 30th birthday that had Sam and Dean on it.  Of all the things that she likes, he had to pick Supernatural.  I told him I could probably make the Impala, but that Sam and Dean would be hard.  He said the Impala sounds great, but can you still do Sam and Dean.  So, of course I did.

Don't laugh; they don't look anything like the Winchesters.  These were my first gumpaste figures. The sitting one is done with toothpicks, and is supposed to be Sam.  The standing one is made out of a wire frame, and is supposed to be Dean.  If I do this again, I will definitely make a wire framed figure.

 

Monster High

I recently had a birthday party for my beautiful 7 year old.

She wanted a Monster High theme.  So, off to create I went.

I was going to make a fondant overlay of Draculaura, but that didn't turn out quite so well.  My fondant was old, and when I tried to put in color and roll it out all the fondant did was get crumbly.

So, I ended up just doing skullette on the cake.  The cake was all buttercream.  I smoothed out my icing, and then sprayed it pink with my air brush.  After that, I traced skullete on the top.  I smoothed out skullette using a viva papertowel.

I will add more pictures as soon as I download them from the camera.

Baby Shower Cake

 

Recently I made a cute little cake for a baby shower.  It was my first time using my new airbrush that I received for Christmas. 

Would any of you like a tutorial on how I did the clouds?  It's really simple.  The next time I do a cake, I will take step by step shots.

I also made these cute cupcakes with onesie toppers.

 

 

The onesies, socks and butterflies are fondant.


A Modern Birthday

I recently did a Call of Duty MW3 cake for my nephew. 

I used the cover of the video game case as my staring point.  I rolled out dark gray fondant, and cut out a silhouette of the army guy.  Then, I rolled out white and green fondant and cut out the letters.  I used the Snow White Buttercream recipe from one of the Wilton Cake Decorating Yearbooks. 

I didn't do a crumb coat, but for normal customers I definitely would.  The flavor of the cake is Orange Creamsicle.  If you would like to have the recipe please let me know.
