Buzz Lightyear Cake #2













A Buzz Lightyear cake. I actually love this cake, and what's nice about it, it is took me very little time to make it and my fondant covering is the best I have ever done! There's not a tear, crack, fold, air bubble, or blemish anywhere. This is a dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and melt in your mouth chocolate frosting covered in marshmallow fondant and accents. Buzz was printed onto edible rice paper as I had a a really busy week this week and did not have the time to make a Buzz figure like I had planned to. I'm hoping it looks like he's jumping out of the cake ;-) The decoration is supposed to mirror that of Andy's room in Toy Story.

Sock Monkey 2nd Birthday Cake































Mmmm, do I ever love this cake! Not only because it's so unique & darling but because it is super tasty. This is a banana cake with banana cream filling in two layers and a fluffernutter frosting in the middle layer of each cake. Frosted with fluffy buttercream frosting, using marshmallow fondant accents. Isn't that little boy a cutie pie!?!?!?! Cake is set to match the invitation. I heart the red & brown colors with the pale yellow!

Mini Two Tier Cakes





These mini two tier cakes were for the girls at my table in MOPS. Please don't judge my work on these. I did these all in an hour during a very busy week and was trying to match the color scheme at our Christmas brunch table. But ran out of red food gel and opted for the red sprinkles, something I never use on my cakes. The crowns I piped out of white chocolate and dusted with silver luster dust. Cake is dark chocolate cake with fluffy buttercream frosting. The cake missing the crown is gluten free.

Three Cakes in One Day


Three cakes in one day. I believe this is the third time I've done this. I seriously do not know how those people on the cake shows do 50 in a week! This is hard work that disappears faster than I can bake a cake ;-)
