Candyland Topsy Turvy Cake
This was so much fun to make... it is3 tiers, each tier having 3 layers. The bottom tier is a 12"chocolate round, the middle tier is an 8" vanilla butter round and the top is a 6" strawberry round. It is covered in marshmallow fondant, the borders around the bottom of each tier are made of Skittles. The Candyland path and flowers are mmf. The suckers and swirly pops are hand made from mmf, as well. I really hope the birthday girl loves it!

Superhero Cake
My boys haven't see this one, yet, but I am sure they will have a fit over it! It is for a little boy's 2nd birthday party. It was so fun to make! Tried a couple of new things this time; 1- by using foam board as a base... I like it so far... much easier to cut to size than cardboard, and seems to hold it's shape well (not bend like cake boards), and 2-covered the cake board in a plastic tablecloth... simply b/c the base needed to be red and there were no other viable options locally.... this turned out to work perfectly, in my opinion. The bottom tier is a 10-inch round in chocolate, the top tier is cut from a 9x13" sheet cake (cut in half, stacked then carved into the Superman logo shape). It is covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant. The spiderweb on the base is black buttercream icing.
