Groovy Tie Dye cake


This is an 8-inch round cake decorated entirely in buttercream... the smiley faces and peace signs are fondant.  The cake itself is even tie dyed!  To see photos of how I made the tie dye design on the cake, click below.

Superhero Cake!

This is a 3 tier, 10-inch, 8-inch and 6-inch cake. It is covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant with buttercream bottom borders and buttercream web on the top tier. Batman is sculpted from mmf (the gray portion of his body has a foil center to make him lighter and hold his shape better). The spider, hulk hand and Superman logo are hand made from mmf. This was a very fun cake to make... it had a lot of steps to finish it, and I don't have time to blog them all right now. If you are interested in making a similar cake or have questions, feel free to email me. Click below to see more pictures. :) I will say the most difficult part of decorating this cake was the stripes for the web... string-work is not my strong-suit!

Transformers / Dora cake


This is a combination birthday cake for a brother and sister whose birthdays are very close together, so they shared a party.  It is a 10" and 6" tiered cake decorated in buttercream icing.  The Transformers logo, stars and Dora, Boots and Backpack are hand made from marshmallow fondant.  The Transformer on top is a plastic Happy Meal toy.
