Red, White and Blue Birthday

My friends’ brother was coming home from serving in the Marines and it was his birthday,

both very good reasons for a party.

I felt very privileged and excited to do the cake for my friend for him.

It was a chocolate cake with a raspberry cream filling, covered with Italian butter cream, topped with vanilla fondant. I layered it with colored ribbons of fondant and stars. It was topped with cut out patterns of fondant to create a camouflage pattern on top. The prairie dog was so much fun to model and the fur was added using royal icing.

For my Wilton students, the cake has a lot of inlays and overlays from course 3. :0)

 

 

Dog lovers :)

Here is a fun chocolate cake with butter cream icing. They all have sweet dogs and wanted them on the cake as well along with their ages. (Last names have been with held to protect the birthday ladies and gentleman from revealing there ages to the public. :) )

Katie and Jake's Birthday cakes

Sweet Katie wanted the Brave cake like I did before. She wanted red velvet cake and vanilla buttercream icing. Love you Katie.
Jake is a snow boarder so I put him snow boarding down a mountin. He wanted chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. Welcome to the family Jake and happy birthday to you both.

Happy Birthday Zoe!!! Zoe's Rapunzel birthday.

I know I haven't posted much for a while, so, I'm making up for it with a few more posts. :)

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair....

Here is my version of Rapunzel’s tower room. It's complete with painted walls, book shelf with a book she was reading and paint brushes on the table. There is even one on the floor where her "mother" painted the pointy fanged face. Of course she has to have her green friend Pascal as well.

Grandpa wanted me to go all out for his little Zoe, such a softy. The cake is French vanilla and iced with Italian butter cream. The back wall is done from a fondant/gum paste mix (for my students it is the 50/50 mix you learned about in class 3) the table and brushes, along with the rug, and even Pascal are all gum paste details. The floor is fondant and painted by hand.  All the details on the wall are hand painted as well.
Happy Birthday Zoe! :)

Brave Birthday

This was done for one of the nurses that come to check on my step-dad. Thank you ladies for all you do, you are amazing.

The cake is chocolate with a berry cream filling. The frosting is an almond butter cream. To do her hair I striped a piping bag with the two colors the darker I put in the bag first on the one side of the bag and then filled the other side with the lighter color. Instead of a boarder on top I piped her hair coming down over the edges. I used just a touch of gold luster dust that is eatable but does have real gold in it so it should be used sparingly on cakes that are going to be eaten. I just put it on the "H", the "B" and the bottom border.

I loved doing this cake it was so much fun.

Barbie cake

Barbie cakes are a classic for a little girls Birthday. :) This one is a French vanilla Cake with Italian butter cream Icing. (This family loves the Italian butter cream, not that I blame them, it’s yummy.)

 

 

 

Lilly's floral Birthday

Here is a vanilla cake with Italian butter cream for Lilly. This is such a bright and cheery cake for a snowy month. Thank you for letting me do this for your birthday. :)

(Students corner... I used the canned food color spray to give the boarder the two toned color look. I also used it on one of the gerbera daisies as well. The gerbera daisy is taught in the Wilton class 4. )

Holliday cake

Holliday cakes. I just did this for my friend Vincents Birthday.

This is Chocolate cake with peppermint filling and Italian butter cream icing. The bow and accents are fondant with just a little sparkle to them.

A cake like this I would charge $35.00 for and 8 inch cake.

Tanners Luigi cake

Here is sweet Tanners Birthday cake. It’s a root beer cake with root beer filling and his favorite game person on top, Luigi. An easy way to make root beer cake is to substitute some of the liquid for a cake mix or a, from scratch cake with the root beer flavoring. You can measure out how much you use and taste the batter until you get the taste you want then add the rest of the liquid. If you add a vanilla flavored icing or layer it with vanilla cake you have vanilla root beer cake. How easy is that?

green scull birthday cake

This is a rich chocolate cake with ganash filling and covered in Italian Butter cream.

This was a fun cake to do with so many details.
The birthday girl wanted green skulls so i had some fun adding those as well.

Rex's 80th birthday. :)

 

Happy Birthday Rex!!!



He wanted a pear ginger cake with Italian Butter cream Icing. yum, my favorite too. It's a nice and moist cake and the icing isn't to sweet.  The leaves are gum paist and painted gold.
A sweet cake for a sweet man. 

Here is a cake for a friends son, Rylan. He wanted a vanilla root beer cake with vanilla butter cream icing. yumm. I have thought about trying a flavor like this, so I'm glad he gave me the opportunity. It had a root beer butter cream icing filling. He is going to name the new flavor of cake for me. :)
An easy way to make your own root beer cake is to substitute some of the water for a white cake with the root beer flavoring. I would say for a box cake mix you would end up using 1/4 Cup of root beer flavoring.

The cake is a blue vanilla cake with a strawberry rhubarb cream filling. This has beautiful smurffet. There are a few royal icing flowers as well. My favorite is baker smurf. (no surprise there I'm sure.) I'm afraid I'm not much of a photographer, thus the fuzzy picture.
