Dog cake and cupcakes

A friend's daughter decided that she wanted to do a dog theme for her birthday, but she wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Her mom thought that was way to much chocolate for everyone so instead of another cake or convincing her daughter to change her flavors she decided to add vanilla cupcakes! Great idea, and thanks to a friend (thanks Allie) who told me about these great cupcake books I had the perfect design!

Baby Shower

I have wanted to do this cute baby cake forever, but people always had their design picked out already. So finally I was asked to do a cake and they gave me free reign to choose whatever design I wanted, I was so excited! But with my excitement came some problems also, one being my forgetfulness on how much fondant it takes to cover a cake this big. So if you notice the flesh tones to be a bit off.......well I tried my very best to match. The other is the bubbling problem I had with the fondant, not really sure what happened this time but the fondant I have done since then has worked perfectly. So I guess moral of the story is.......don't get too excited until its done!!

Tiki Cake

This cake was super fun to do it was really easy and playfull. The whole thing is cake, the face is just stacked and filled cakes on top of another cake for the base. The whole thing is covered with buttercream with fondant decorations.

Pokemon Cake

Another day care provider ordered this one from me for her son. I had this great idea to cut the flames from fondant, and to airbrush them to look like flames for the border on the bottom. Well......it didn't work. So instead I decided to just use the buttercream and then swirl it together with the different colors, and it turned out so much better than I thought it would. For the Charizard and the words on the top I used colorflow so it would dry hard and I could just place it on the top. The little boy absolutely loved it!
