Yoshi Birthday Party

Today we celebrated my nephew's 7th birthday.  He wanted a yoshi themed party.  The cake is a french vanilla cake filled and iced with vanilla buttercream.  The cupcakes are vanilla-pumpkin cupcakes iced in vanilla buttercream.  I made the cupcake tower, cupcake wrappers and cupcake toppers.   I am most proud of Yoshi!  After making my fondant person it gave me the confidence to try a fondant yoshi.  He was a challenge, but I'm so happy with how he came out, he's so cute!  The kid's didn't even want to eat him because he was just too cute.

Happy 7th Birthday Evan!

70th Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a close family friend whos brother is turning 70.  His profession is a computer programmer, so we wanted to incorporate that into the cake somehow.  The cake is a 9x13 sheet cake.  Half of the cake is chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate fudge frosting, the other half is french vanilla cake filled with vanilla buttercream.  The cake is iced in vanilla buttercream.  I made the office furniture, computer and person out of fondant.

Happy 70th Birthday Michael!

My First Fondant Figure

I have a request for a cake this weekend that requires a person made out of fondant.  I've never attempted to make a person out of fondant before, so this was a challenge for me.  I'm very happy with how he turned out, he's pretty cute.  I'll post a picture of the finished cake this weekend and you can see what this little guy is up to.

Super Mario Party

This weekend we celebrated Alyssa and Brandon's 6th Birthday!  ( Did I just say 6?!!!) They wanted a super mario theme, and told me every detail that needed to be on the cake and how it was to be laid out.  They wanted the villians at the top made out of cake, but I'm not quite there yet, I got them on the cake anyway and they loved it.  My sister-in-law made the cookie favors, and they came out perfect!

Happy 6th Birthday Alyssa and Brandon, I love you!
