This cake is cut from 2 quarter-sheet cakes. It is surrounded by graham cracker crumbs to look like sand. I piped tip 18 pull-out stars all over it. The eyes are from cupcakes that I carved to make rounder.

Tinkerbell Tiered Cake
This is one of my new personal favorites! This is an 11x15 inch sheet cake, with an 8-inch (one layer) and a 6-inch (one layer) stacked on top of it. It is purple butter cream with a purple rosette bottom border with dot accents. The top border is of bright green leaves and light and dark pink drop flowers. I placed a Tinkerbell candle on top (currently available at Wal-Mart). I hope the birthday girl enjoys it!!

2-tier fondant covered cake and smash cakes
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Well, here is the finished product based on my idea posted below... a hot pink and lime green birthday cake, complete with monogram (first letter of her first name). The monogram is made from baked salt dough, painted with lime green acrylic paint with pink glitter accents. I attempted to make the monogram out of fondant, so it would be edible, but unfortunately it broke. I need to get brave and attempt using gum paste sometime... I am told it holds up better than fondant when it is used for this type of application. I am happy with how it turned out, though... I hope the birthday girl likes it too!
Baby Shower Sheet Cake
This is an 11x15 inch sheet cake I made for a baby shower for my BIL and his girlfriend. They are having a boy! I pre-cut the slices using fishing line after frosting the top of the cake. I then used a large cake-icer tip to frost the sides of the cake and hide/seal the cuts in the cake. The cuts in the icing on top are hidden under the grid made with a basket-weave tip. I made a shell border on the top and bottom using tip #32, and also made a ruffle border on top using tip #104. The items on each square are made from candy.

Idea for cake this weekend
I have been given the task to create a lime green and hot pink cake for a woman's birthday. Here is my idea so far. I have never made a monogram to stand on a cake, but have found some great ideas online and hope to get started on it soon... in case it doesn't work for me, then I will still have time to do something different on top. I love these colors together! I am, right now, planning on a 10-inch and 6-inch... both in hot pink, with lime green decorations. The decorations on the top tier don't show up well in this picture for some reason, but it is a curvy "S" pattern.
Topsy Turvy Cake
This is my first ever topsy turvy cake. I followed the instructions in the youtube video posted on my site. The bright colors were so fun to work with! I have been very busy lately... and have neglected to take pictures of several of my cakes : ( so they won't be posted on my site. My most favorite not-pictured cake was a hot pink and zebra stripe cake I made for my son's teacher. I have a few coming up soon, and hope to remember to photograph them all and post them here! Above is an idea for a cake this weekend. I am still trying to nail down all the details... but this is my idea so far.
