February Cakes

I made two cakes in February.  Sorry it's taken me so long to post them.

My daughter turned 8 in February, and has been obsessed with Winx Club.  It's an older cartoon that is on Netflix.  She really wanted a Bloom Cake.  So, I got to work designing it.

 

 

     The inside is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.  The outside is marshmallow fondant.  To get Bloom just right I cut out each color section and overlaid it on an image I had downloaded from the internet.  I then transferred them onto my cake and outlined them with black buttercream.

 

My mother also had a birthday in February.  She is a quilter so I ran with that theme.

 

 

     The cake was a white cake with buttercream icing which was then covered in fondant.  I colored the quilt pieces to maroon because that is my mom's favorite color.  I cut out numbers with a cookie cutter and sandwiched a lollipop stick in between.  All the maroon pieces were then detailed with a fondant tool I had. 

 

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.
