Monster High Cupcake Tower

Ooh Gothic little brats! That's what the lady at the craft store told me when I asked her if they had any Monster High items. I just laughed but this is what I came up with, I must have been on the creative side that day. Small 6 inch cake on top and 24 cupcakes, with a ribbon around the edge to match the decor. I used stickers and little erasers that were hot glued around the foam boards to decorate it since there really isn't any Monster High cake decorations. It really has been awhile, happy to be back. Feel free to send me an email with questions. As you can tell I don't post often, not that I don't do any cakes, I'm just so busy working. But I'm bringing cake back! Yeah.

Minion Cake

Here's my little guy. Initially when I made him he had no arms. I forgot it had arms. I arrive to work with it and my co-worker friend says, "He's cute but he's armless!" After laughing and feeling real dumb I gave him arms and...viola! Sorry he's in a box but I still think he's adorable. Had fun making this lil guy. I didn't use cake for him since he was a cake topper and a big one too, I made him out of Rice Krispie treats and just 3 layers of fondant.

Maria's Wedding Cupcake Tower

I made this last year for her wedding and didn't have a nice clear picture to post. So now I am finally posting it after she sent me these nice photos. I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese butter cream icing. The flowers on the small cake are fresh flowers but the spray on the side are silk, I was able to match them pretty close so the blended well. So here it is hope you like it.

Baby Shower Converse cake

Simple baby shower cake for a family friend. This was actually my first attempt at gum paste converse. I knew what the shoe looked like just couldn't figure out to put it together. Somehow, it came together and this is what it turned out like. I must say next time they will be alot cuter. Baby rattle, hat, onsie and pacifier were made from gumpaste also. By the way, I love the CK Product gumpaste mix! It does not dry out and crumble smooth and so pliable. I will post the link if you are interested in a template for converse. There are several templates out there but I will post the one I used, you might have to enlarge or zoom before you print to get the size shoe you want. Thanks for looking.

Yo Gabba Gabba

It's been a long while, I almost forgot how to blog.....and make cakes! Whoosh with that said, I recently made this, Yo Gabba Gabba cake, for a kids birthday party. I knew nothing about the characters, but I was emailed a similar picture of it and just worked from there. I still think the cake looks.......different, almost not right but she loved it and that's all that counts. I'm pretty sure you have all seen similar and nicer ones online but I didn't have the opportunity to make gum paste characters. Piping the butter cream on the green character made the carpal tunnel flare up,  really made me realize how far away I had gone from making cakes. (Chuckle)
