Both of these cakes were made for a friend of mine. Her son was celebrating his baptism and her daughter was celebrating her 2nd Birthday on the same day. So she asked me if I could make two 6" squared cakes for her kids.
The baptism cake was a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache filling. It was iced with buttercream and decorated with fondant and royal icing. The cross was made with fondant and cut out using a cookie cutter. In order to accent the shape of the cross I piped royal icing stars around it. The top and bottom border or the cake was also made with fondant using impression molds.
The birthday cake was a girly Dora the Explorer inspired cake. Pinks and purples were the mom's request for her little girly girl. This cake was a yellow cake filled with whipping cream mixed in with strawberries and blueberries a perfect flavor for the summer. The cake was iced with buttercream and decorated using all fondant. The flowers were made using different size flower cutters, and the buttons in the center of the flowers were made using impression molds. Unfortunately for this cake I could not get the buttercream as smooth as I would like. The consistency was a little too dry. I adjusted the next batch for the baptism cake by adding a little more milk. As you could see in the baptism cake picture above the buttercream came out a lot smoother.
