Rainbow Unicorn Cake

For her 5th birthday, Nora presented me with one of my greatest challenges yet...a rainbow unicorn. Pink buttercream with rainbow fruit belts and sugar cone horn.

Ladybug Cake-II

This was for Nora's 4th Birthday.  She wanted another ladybug cake.

Soccer Ball Cake

Monkey Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes ever!  I made it for Ian's second birthday, with a round cake and a heart shaped cupcake split into for the ears.  Covered with chocolate ganache and piped chocolate buttercream.  Decorated with thin black licorice and chocolate malt balls.

Castle Cake

With frosted ice cream cone turrets.  For Nora's 6th Birthday.

Butterfly Cake

Rocket Cake

With buttercream frosting & m&m decorations!

Penguin Cake

Katie asked me to make her a birthday cake.  I'm never in town for her birthday, so I made it for her 6 months later when I was.  This one is decorated with chocolate ganache, white frosting and fruit roll-ups!

Mermaid Beach Party Cake

I've made this cake twice.  The first time was for Nora's 7th birthday (a pool party) and the second time was for June's 40th birthday.  Both times, I made it with a chocolate 9x13 cake with banana pastry cream filling and buttercream on the outside.  The sand is crushed graham crackers. 

Red Ant Cake

Since Nora's first birthday cake was a ladybug, she decided that Ian needed a red insect for his first birthday cake too.  She decided on a red ant.

Ladybug Cake

This was my first cake...for Nora's first birthday.  I highly recommend red frosting for a child's first birthday....it makes for very dramatic photos!

Flower Cake

For Courtney's 6th Birthday.

Bunny Cake

For Nora's 2nd birthday.

Tractor Cake

My first 3-D Cake!

The number 5!

Ian asked for a cake in the shape of the number 5 with cars on it for his 5th birthday.  He also wanted it to have some green on the cake because that is his favorite color.

This was made with one 8 in round and one 8 in square yellow cake (one batch of batter).  I cut a smaller square out of the square cake (from one corner), leaving an L-shaped cake.  I trimmed the bottom of the L to make it fit nicely alongside the round cake to form the 5. 

Filling is a half batch of buttercream and mashed strawberries.  Leftover buttercream was used to pipe the dashed stripe on the road.  Outer frosting is one batch of chocolate ganache.  Green sprinkles make the "grass" that defines the center of the 5.
