Christmas Packages Cake
I think this is my favorite cake so far! It is an 11 inch tier topped with a 6-inch tier (each tier is 3-layers of cake) covered in my marshmallow fondant and decorated with green fondant dots and red satin ribbon.
Poodle Cupcakes
Monkey Cupcakes
These are monkey cupcakes I made for a little boy's first birthday party. The idea came from Michael's website. The faces are molded from candy melts, and the ears are whole round candy melts. They were fun to do, although the pattern for the face pieces was larger than necessary. Next time I try these I will make the pieces smaller to fit better on a regular size cupcake.
Monkey Cake
This is a large monkey face cake I made for a little boy's first birthday party. I baked the cake in a large glass bowl and used a 9-inch round cake as a base. The bowl alone would probably have been enough cake, in hind sight, but I love how it turned out! The ears are made from one regular size cupcake cut in half vertically. It is iced smooth with buttercream. Pictured below is the small version I made for the birthday boy's smash cake. I made it using half of a sports ball pan and a mini-cupcake cut in half vertically.
Pink Poodle Tiered Cake
Girl's Curious George Cake
I made this Curious George cake for a little girl's 3rd birthday party. It is a 2-tier cake (3 layers each) covered in my marshmallow fondant. I cut the sides of cake to taper them slightly...adding a little whimsy to the design... that is the first time I had ever done that and it wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be... but I would be willing to do it again.
