Frank's Painting Birthday Cake!

It was brought to my attention that I had not posted this cake on the blog! I made this last March for a good friend of mine who was turning 40. He has an actual painting of himself that I made into cake form. I really liked making this cake and making it look like a painting!

It was a lemon cake with cream cheese frosting.

Happy birthday Frank!

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

This Sweet 16 was designed by the Birthday girl herself! (It was quite a design I have to say!)

Bottom tier has a vine design and black bow, Topsy turvy tier has the same pattern on her dress with purple airbrushing on half the cake, round polka dot tier, and top tier has zebra stripes and a sweet 16 topper with a crown.

All vegan chocolate cake with vegan chocolate ganache.

Happy Sweet 16 Adreauna!

Happy Birthday Francis!

Vanilla cake with raspberry preserves and raspberry buttercream filling.

I leave you with some wise words from Dr. Seuss:

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking a tlife through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

"All the turtles are free- as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be."

"I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam I am."

Snow Engagement/Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a couple that got engaged on the same week of both their birthdays, which was only a few days apart. They love snowboarding and skiing as well as their black lab. The cake is adorned with figures of them, trees, and sanding sugar snow.

Congrats to the happy couple! I love this photo of them making a wish :)

Myra's Birthday Present

This is a very big present cake that I have made. This one matches the party's decoration colors of royal purple and white. All the adornments on the cake are personal touches for the birthday girl. Ms. Pacman represents her first birthday cake from her big bro, her favorite rag doll she had growing up, a fondant family portrait, a rabbit to represent her pets she had growing up, and a stethoscope because she is currently going to school to be a nurse.

This is 10" square and it was HUGE!!! It was lemon cake with cream cheese frosting inside.

A Present for Jamie

This present cake was made for Jamie's birthday. The present is wrapped in polka dotted paper and finished off with a black bow and a "Happy Birthday" tag. A rose, chrysanthemum, daisies, and tiny white flowers adorn the sides of the present.

This cake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Jamie's husband had the awesome idea of keeping the present in a black and white color scheme so that when you cut into the cake, it matches the red inside and has a great contemporary color palette! It was a great idea!

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Golf Ball Birthday Cake

A golf ball birthday cake made for my good friend Archna's dad's birthday! He loves to golf so a golf ball was appropriate with him sitting next to it, ready to get a hole-in-one!

Vanilla cake layered with a whipped strawberry filling topped with chocolate cake.

If you have any baby showers or children's birthdays coming up, check out Archna's online children's boutique, Parasols!

Gay's Game Night Taboo Birthday Cake!

I made this replica of a Taboo game box for Gay's Game Night Birthday Extravaganza! It was so much fun, although I strongly feel that "SWAK" should be removed from the game. (Can anyone even tell me what "SWAK" is?!) Another tip, don't misread "Ad-lib" for "Mad-lib".

Happy Birthday Gay!!!

Deep Chocolate Cake layered with Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Buttercream.

Blake's Alpargata Sailboat

A replica of Blake Mycoskie (with his Captain's hat of course) and his sailboat, The Alpargata, for his birthday! Blake is the creator and owner of TOMS shoes: for every pair of shoes that are purchased a pair is given to a child in need.

Sometimes we take the little things in life for granted-- like the shoes on our feet. A pair of shoes can help prevent a child who walks miles every day to go to school or do chores from getting diseases, cuts and scrapes that can lead to infections, etc. and makes their life a little more comfortable. Check out the new fall styles at www.TOMSSHOES.com

Happy Birthday Blake!

Gag Baby Shower Cake

This was for a Gag Baby Shower/Birthday Party! It's a baby who resembles the birthday boy (thus the goatee) who is bent over looking through his chubby baby legs. Across his diapered butt is "Mini Thaw". I had a lot of fun making this cake!
