Don't Let the Muggle get you Down

For my daughter's birthday, I planned a Harry Potter birthday complete with wands and Bert's Ever Flavored bean.

The girls had fun, and the cake was a hit.

The cake was chocolate with chocolate buttercream.  I shaped it like a spell book and covered it in fondant.

I made a rice krispy owl and covered it in fondant.  The birthday girl helped me on the face.

Superhero Sweets

I have done several superhero cakes in the last year.

The first one is a Superman baby onesie for sweet baby Finn.  It was white cake with my crusting buttercream.  To get the emblem just right, I printed out a copy and traced it onto the cake.

The second one was for sweet Sophia's birthday.  It was a Spiderman cake made from white cake and my crusting buttercream.  I traced an image of Spidey on the cake and filled it in.

I put a certificate in the silent auction at the scout Blue and Gold banquet, and the recipient wanted a Punisher/Deadpool cake.  This was a white cake with my crusting buttercream.  I traced the image on the cake and filled it in like the other two cakes.

 





For another Blue and Gold silent auction winner, I made a Flash cake.  This one was chocolate with my crusting buttercream icing.

 

Hope you enjoyed all the Superhero Sweets from today.

Slither'n Snake

I know, I know.  It's been way too long.  Thought I would post a cake from last year.  I definitely need to play catch up.

For my Dad's birthday a couple of years ago I decided to make a copperhead.  The reason I did this is because we went camping that summer, and I almost stepped on a copperhead.  My Dad ended up killing it.

I made the cake using 2 round yellow cakes.  I iced the cake and then covered it in fondant.  I airbrushed the cake a light orange color and used thinned food color gel to color on the stripes.

The head is made from Rice Krispy treats.

Hope you enjoy my skin crawling snake.
