Baby Shower Cake

This cake was for my friend Jen who was hosting a Baby Shower for her BFF. I made the cake to match the invitation. The cupcakes are chocolate and white cake (colored pink). The topper is 5 layers of chocolate, white and red velvet with pink vanilla icing, covered in fondant. The "birds" are made out of gumpaste.

This was the pattern on the invitation!

It was super cute!!

Happy 12th Birthday Genesis!!!

I just finished making this cake for Martin's niece, Genesis' birthday tomorrow. It's inspired by a cake I saw on Pink Cake Box's website. I've been wanting to make it for a while.

It's 5 layers of chocolate and strawberry cake, filled and iced with chocolate buttercream. The daisies are made out of gumpaste.

I hope she likes it!!!!! :-)

Oreo Cake with Strawberries

Well after last week's cake fiasco I had to try and redeem myself. I made this cake for Martin's brother Mo's Birthday. It was a Chocolate cake filled with Oreo (cookies & cream) filling and fresh strawberries. The cake is also iced with cookies & cream and topped with a fresh strawberry. And YUP... you guessed it.... those are mini Oreos around the bottom and Oreo pieces on top! I didn't get a piece, but I heard it was Yummy!!

Cake Drama

Just when I think I know what I'm doing with this whole cake thing...I have total cake disaster!!! I made this cake for Monica (Martin's sister) for her birthday. She wanted a cake with fresh strawberries. So I thought I'd try a funfetti cake (because what's a birthday without funfetti) filled with cream cheese and fresh strawberries, iced in whipped cream and glazed strawberries!!! Yummy, right???? We'll I ended up using too many strawberries on top and when the glaze started to spread........it slid down the side of the cake!!! There was CAKE DRAMA!!! I attempted to fix it...but it just made it worst. So sorry Monica....I hope it tasted better than it looked. :-)
