Yo Gabba Gabba





This was a 10" & 8" 2 tier Yo Gabba Gabba cake and Muno smash cake.

This was for Mac's 2nd Birthday.  He was so excited about his cake that Mac put his mark on the cake before his guests came.  Mac ate a piece of Toodee's foot and plucked out Plex's eyes, but nevertheless everyone still got to enjoy the cake.

Garden Party


This was a 10" cake and cake pops for a garden theme birthday party.

Choo Choo Cupcakes


These were trained themed cupcakes with a railroad sign, rail road tracks and bandanas.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!


This cake and smash cake was for baby J.Z.'s first birthday party.

The robot on the cake was made completely out of fondant.  I made the smash cake completely egg free because he has a slight allergy to eggs.  Baby J.Z. wasn't too sure what to do with his smash cake so he just stared at it. 

Phineas and Ferb


Phineas and Ferb theme cake along with rainbow mini cupcakes.

The cake was covered in fondant and figures where made out of fondant and gum paste.

Sherlock Holmes Cake


This was a half sheet cake carved into an antique book.  The magnify glass and pipe where made out of fondant and hand painted with gold to give it an antique look.  The book was covered in fondant and hand painted to give it some texture.  I the text on top of the book was hand written in edible ink and was an actual excerpt from a Sherlock Holmes novel.

Happy Birthday to me!

  
The only problem with being a baker is I now have to make my own birthday cakes. :)  It's okay, I enjoy making them.  I had to decorate this cake in 15mins.  I couldn't be late for my date night with my hubs.  So I just put a ribbon for the boarder and cut out a few flowers to embellish the cake.

Egg-Free 3rd Birthday Cake


This cake was for my niece Ave Lily who was turning 3.  She is allergic to egg so the cake and cupcakes where made completely egg free.  This was the first time using an egg substitute and the cake and cupcakes came out amazing.  Guest did not even know the egg was missing.  The only difference using egg substitute was I had to bake them a little bit longer  because the cake came out really moist.

"Every Child is an Artist"



The theme of this party was "Every child is an Artist".  The cake was a 10" round cake carved out like a painter's palette.  I used royal icing to make the splatter marks on the cake and the paint blots on top.  The inside of the cake was made with multicolored batter so when the cake was cute the colors exploded.

The "Every child is an artist" cookie was white royal icing with "Every child is an artist" printed on edible rice paper and placed on top.

The palette cookies where round cookies covered in white royal icing with royal icing paint blots.

It's a Boy!


This was  2 tier baby shower cake, 10" & 9".  The mommy-to-be gave me the booties, pacifier, and keys to add onto the cake.

This cake was  6" cake covered in white fondant.  I sprayed the side of the cake with gold luster and painted the accents with silver dye.

Pink Party!




This was a pink theme birthday party.  6" round cake with mini cupcakes for a cupcake tower.

Carousel Cake



This was a carousel themed cake and smash cake for a 1st birthday party that was held on the Santa Monica Pier.  The entire piece was made out of cake and almost completely edible.  The only part of the cake that was not edible were the horse poles and flag pole which were lollipop sticks.

I used a candy mold to mold out the horses on the carousel and used fondant to make the mane, tail, and saddle of each horse.

The smash cake was a single horse that matched the carousel made especially for the birthday girl herself.

40th Birthday Tiffany's style


This is was a 10 x 10 Tiffany box cake with a fondant white ribbon and gift tag.

Woodland Creatures Cake and Cupcakes




This cake was for Isla who was turning 3.  The theme of her party was woodland creatures.  Her mom sent me a picture of a pin cushion and asked me if I could make it into a cake.

The cake was made using 2 types of pans.  The bottom part of the cake was a round 10" cake covered in fondant.  I gave it some ridges to make it look similar to a tree stump.  For the top part of the cake I used a magic mold to create the hill mound.  All the creatures and mushrooms were made out of fondant.

Along with the cake I made mini cupcakes to match the theme of the cake.
