Minion cake

I love these guys. This little guys is all cake and only thing paper was his party hat. Toby's 2nd birthday cake. This minion is going to have his cake and eat it too! Fun cake to make I didn't want to give him up, was hoping they wouldn't show up for it. Not fair...my cake...my minion!

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.

Hello Kitty

I've always wanted to try a, Hello Kitty, cake and was finally able too. It was a surprise cake for my daughters best friend at school. It was easy to carve out but not as easy to apply icing. The frosting was butter cream and I usually always use the same recipe but this one erked me. Anyhow this was a very small cake 6", bow was made from fondant and so were the eyes, whiskers and nose. My next Hello Kitty has to be a 3D one, that would be real cute. Well keep posted this weekend I have cupcakes and a 60th birthday cake too.

Toy Story

Woody, Jessie and Buzz.....I really liked this cake it's so kiddie! Well you know what I mean. Fondant covered cake (Fondx) I love that stuff so easy to work with, and toys I actually got from the store. Yeah, I'm really not that talented to get away with those figures.

So sorry that I haven't kept up on my blog but I have been so busy working full time that I don't really have time to make cakes......I miss that (booo hoo). Hopefully that cake business will come true, it's still my passion even though I don't do it as often as I wish I could. I'll post new pictures as soon as I start baking. Thanks again for checking in.

Disney Princess castle cake

Well first of all I have to say I'm very excited! Not about this cake but because my camera is on it's way, I should have it by Wednesday this week. Yay!

Alright, now about this cake. It's a tres leches, castle cake iced in whipped cream. Filled top tier with peaches and cream and bottom tier with strawberries and cream. A bit harder than butter cream, so hopefully it'll hold it's shape with the turrets. All 6 princess's didn't fit so I squeezed in 3. Saw so many pretty princess cakes and didn't know what to do so just did and copied some from here and there and this is the final result. Hope the birthday girl likes it, she'll be 5 today.

Electric guitar cake

I hope I got the idea down on this one. I know roses are supposed to be in a corner the guitar in the center or bottom and her birthday in the right hand corner. Light blue guitar and roses, this was a tres leches cake with whipped cream icing. I know in this heat and a full sheet I don't know who has space in the frig for that. I hope they did! I added a few music notes, which I don't even know if they are notes. Darn it! I didn't have a picture of the guitar she sent me but I tried. I might be missing a string or even a few knobs but the idea is there. I hope she liked it.

Kingston's carnival cake

This is Kingston's 1st birthday party cake. It was my idea to make it this way. I wanted to include various things that you would see at a carnival since that was the theme. Wasn't really sure how I was going to do it all but I did. My favorite part I have to say was the ticket booth and the little signs ...oh......and the popcorn. There something about little things/details that I like. The carousel horses erked me a bit, only because I tried to make them of white chocolate and I couldn't get them to pop out of mold nice enough so I made them of gum paste and hand painted them....(pain in the butt.) Ha ha Well I can't complain but I really liked the way it turned out and so did the parents.

Clowns.....

A 1st birthday cake for a little boy who's theme was, clowns. Now, I remember back when I was little I hated clowns, they scared the living out of me. Now, when I was called for this order I just shrugged and was like, "ok." That's it. I don't really care for them anymore I guess I just haven't been around them for awhile, but back in the day my girlfriends were so into clowns. They would draw them, wear them decorate their rooms with them.....uugghh. Not me, it must have been after that movie, Clowns. Anyhow, I survived making it. Flavors were the usual (for me at least) top tier was chocolate & bottom tier vanilla with whipped cream & strawberries. I've noticed that people aren't as daring with cakes and flavors, they want the same ol' grocery store flavors. It was done in butter cream and decorated with fondant accents. Clowns were also done in fondant. When the cake was delivered to them, mom was happy, that's what counts. I really should start having people post their own comments on the cakes pretty soon your not going to believe my remarks. lol I'll keep you posted I have some interesting cakes coming up this and next month.

Tinkerbell cakes

These 2 cakes were for a 1st birthday party. The large cake was a half sheet with an edible image in butter cream, the small cake was a smash cake for the birthday girl to just do whatever she wanted too with, this cake was also butter cream. I added a Tinkerbell on the side of the cake, just like in the bigger cake. I took the pictures in the same house with the same camera and I hate the lighting in my house, it's so dark for pictures. I want a new house! Hahahaha Kidding I love my house!


I just need a better camera. Anyhow I got an email back from them and they really were happy with it and said it taste good! That makes a baker happy. I'm lovin it........ I love my cakes too...you can really tell in my size. Hahaha I have other cake pictures so keep posted.

123...Elmo cake

Gabby's birthday cake. This is for an old school friend's daughter. I made their daughter's christening cake and they loved it so this was another order (hopefully they have enough). I hope they like it. It's a marble cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Whipped cream icing and used a little butter cream for the borders, I needed the bright colors. I made the street sign in her name and the number/letters out of fondant. Since fondant and whipped cream don't go well together I used a little butter cream under each letter and sign to keep it from melting. I made Elmo, poor Elmo he looks like Cookie monster in disguise. lol He was make from rice krispy treats and covered in butter cream. I couldn't find my fur tip, so I just used my spatula. He's a little heavier looking than he should be but nowadays he looks normal. lol Just kidding! Thanks for keeping posted!

Skater dude

Yeah dude, it was a last minute cake....like really, dude. lol My neighbor came over and asked if I could do a last minute cake for a nephew. He really likes skateboards or is into boarding. I really couldn't figure it out until I headed down to the store and my kids made me realize that "Teck Decks" are in. I hope I spelled it right. Well any 12 year old knows what I mean right. Sorry I'm just not that "in" right now with the kids latest toy trends. I still think Elmo is so cute and my baby likes it and so do I. Half chocolate, half banana cake with custard filling. I hope they enjoyed it. The birthday boy really likes banana cake and they don't usually have it at grocery chain bakeries unless you go to a scratch baker. Well not much more to say I know, picture isn't the greatest, but I am really saving up to get myself an awesome Nikon and will be snapping like crazy when I do get it.

Oakland A's.....

Really not a fan. Yankee girl here! My good friend ordered this cake for her nephew, poor child doesn't know any better. Ha ha Just kidding! He really wanted a baseball theme cake, since they were really impressed by the tall round cake they tried at another birthday party. Yay me! I like to hear things like that. It's all whipped cream, chocolate cake with fresh bananas and whipped cream.Airbrushed again and used some graham cracker for the dirt, good ol' sweet dirt. Pretty tall cake, 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling. My son was jealous since I made it the day of his birthday and didn't even make him a cake. Bad mommy! I know, I have to make it up to him. With the exception that his will be grand, spectacular, awesome...ok now. At least we'll try huh. Well hope you liked it, regardless of the team. Go Yankees!

Dinosaurs

This was a done deal, I had originally said I couldn't do it because I was scheduled for surgery yesterday, but it was cancelled...so I called her back and was wondering if she still needed it. She goes on to tell me that she had some weird luck that every time she went to the bakery for some reason either the baker had left early or just wasn't in. I had said no at one point, then the bakery kept asking her to come back until I came to the rescue. lol No really she was happy that I had called back. She thought she was never going to find her son's dinosaur theme cake. I hope she likes it. It's a 3/4 sheet cake half vanilla the other chocolate with whipped cream and strawberries. I used butter cream since it was going to be at the park and it's going to be warm today no refrigeration was available. I suggested butter cream. Airbrushed the top and used crushed graham cracker to look like dirt/sand. I used toy dinosaurs and palm trees, piped a little green around and made a little water pond. Hopes it was what she was expecting. Thanks!

Let's play...Operation!

This was a fun cake to make, it reminds me of my childhood. I even bought my kids the newer version which then was Shrek and you'd have to pull his ear wax and all.......yum. ?!%$* Maybe not on a cake. So this one is for my doctor's at the clinic they both have birthdays this month, so I decided to make a little cake for them, and my boss decided on the theme. She thought they would get a kick out of it. I made a lemon almond pound cake with a whipped lemon cream. I tried a few new things this time around. Lorann oils & airbrushing the whole cake. I have the hardest time unclogging my airbrush, thanks to some members on Cake Central I unclogged it. I was under the impression the so called cleaner did all that, but "NO" you have to take the darn thing apart and gently and patiently (I don't have that) clean it. So after almost going through all my red to get this result I've decided maybe coloring the butter cream would be easier than spraying it. Well at least the tweezers came out okay. Should've used those on my eyebrows. lol Kidding! Thanks for keeping up on my blog, I will have plenty of cakes this weekend to post, I've just been busy with other things and cakes.

Mario's back again.

My camera wasn't working so this is a picture that Rosita took and I stole from her my space. They loved it and that's what counts. Cake was 2 tier, top was vanilla cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and bottom cake was chocolate with whipped cream and bananas. Little story behind it.Here we go....I had went to sleep at 3 am Sunday morning working on Mario and other little things, so I set my cell alarm so I wouldn't wake anyone at 6am. I figured I'd get some 3 hours of sleep, well I don't know how crazy I slept but my phone was under my back and the alarm never went off. So...I woke up to the morning sun in my face at 8am (nice sleep hhhmm....snore) and was real behind because we were supposed to leave my house to the bay area at 9am. Didn't happen! My little one decided he's was going to stick his finger in my already iced smooth cake...aaarrrrgh! I am going ballistic and late...... I begin to fix the cake and finally start to put my top tier on when ......yeah how'd you guess...it fell over and messed up by bottom and ruined my top. I was just about ready to give up on cakes. In my rush to scream and run off like those crazy runaway brides, I break a glass cup spill what's in it all over the floor. SHOOT ME PLEASE!!!! Well just thinking about it erks me but it turned out and we were late to work but the cake arrive in one piece after gluing it together with Crazy glue for a 2 hour drive. lol I'm just kidding. Well it turned out, let's put Mario to rest for a while...please. Thanks for tuning in.

Mario & Luigi cake & cupcakes

These were time consuming little things because all the cutting is freehand, but I like the bright colors. I made 36 cupcakes and a 10" cake. It was for my husbands cousins two little boys she decided to celebrate both her boys birthdays in one. So we made Mario & Luigi. The characters were made with fondant and a little tylose, I can never get the gum paste to do wonders for me. It dries out and then cracks. I tried Sweetex for the first time and I'm so happy. It so much easier to smooth onto cake, I really love it. I figured my last cake was made of fondant but not everyone likes fondant, so I settled on butter cream and it worked! Well not much more to say about the cakes. Thanks for looking!

Kayla's cupcake tower

Made this for my daughter's 8th birthday, ok so it's not a cake but a huge cupcake and a tower of cupcakes. I made the stand from scrap paper and it wasn't that hard to make. Just wish I could've made it a little bigger to fit more cupcakes. I made different flavors like, chocolate hazelnut, vanilla chocolate chip, lemon, confetti all with whipped topping in different flavors. They were a hit and pleased everyones sweet tooth. It looked so nice and colorful, no one wanted to believe the cupcakes were real. I didn't even want take it apart, but you had to eat them. Real fun thing to make I wish everything I made can be cupcakes from now on. LOL

Soccer ball cake

Ok, so I decided to make this soccer cake for my husbands godson and I really thought a soccer ball would almost be like a puzzle just connect them.....uuuuh no. Well I guess I should have started by having the proper hexagon cutting thingy, but no I didn't so I had to cut around it to get it to look like a hexagon. Anyways I got a little impatient and was running short on time so then I remember a soccer ball (of course better) with a scarf around it in a book I bought, so there I go, so I wouldn't have to keep cutting out any more weird shapes. So this is what I ended up with. Not exactly what I wanted but it's what's going to have to do. Good thing is I finished it on time. Wheeew..... I like to take my time on my cakes but I just didn't have it this time. Maybe next time thanks for looking.
