Saw Cake

Jonah had a "build-it" birthday party.  I made him a cake in the shape of a hand saw.  This started out as a 9x13 cake that I cut up and rearranged.  Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and buttercream.  There was a lot of waste as I fashioned this into the shape of a saw, so I was able to bring an additional small square cake to the party.

Dog Bone Cake

Stella had a dog-themed party for her 8th birthday.  This dog bone cake is a cut down 9x13 cake with pink and green buttercream.

sleepover cake

Nora had a sleepover for her 8th birthday so I made her a sleepover cake.  It started as a 9x13 and I trimmed a bit off the side to make the bodies.  I used Nilla wafers for heads, large marshmallows for pillows, sour candy tape for the dust ruffle and the edge of the blanket.  If I had it to do over again, I'd pipe the blanket on so it would look like it was crocheted.  I think that would have looked better (and been faster).
