X-Box Cake

I made this X-Box console cake for for my neighbor's sons who were having a gaming birthday party.  I myself am a gamer and I love our X-box 360 so I was really excited to make this cake.

This was a quarter sheet red velvet cake with cream cheese filling.  I used white fondant to cover the entire cake and cut out each detail by hand. I used royal icing to pipe some of the smaller details on the cake like the air vents on top and the green on the power switch.

The best part of the cake was when I delivered it and saw the reaction the kid's faces.  They were so happy to see their cake!

Purple Wedding Bliss


This was a 6" and 8" red velvet square wedding cake with cream cheese filling.   I made this cake for my neighbor's brother and wife.  Their theme was different shades of purple and black.  I covered the entire cake with fondant and piped royal icing polka-dots throughout the cake.  The bows were 2.5 inches wide and were painted over with a silver lustre.  The couple chose to do a fresh flower topper which I arranged on top of a ball of fondant.



I really enjoyed creating this cake and I was really happy the bride and groom enjoyed the outcome.
