90th birthday cake

My grandma turned 90 years old and we did a party for her. My cousin had a stand that she thought would look pretty, so I decided to do a square tiered cake to put on the stand. The more I thought about it, I decided to try using fondant. I did a 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch cake. Each cake had 2 layers with buttercream frosting in between. I covered each layer with fondant and then put ribbon around the base. My cousin put the flowers on top of each layer after we got it to the church for the party. The top, next to the bottom, and bottom cakes were all regular pound cake. The second cake down was a chocolate pound cake (my favorite).

Dora the Explorer

My little girl turned 4 and she said she wanted a Dora cake. Her invitations had Dora sliding down a rainbow, so we included the rainbow on her cake. She was very excited!

I had to freehand Dora. I was happy with how she turned out for my first time drawing her. I made the cake 1/2 yellow and 1/2 chocolate because Katie couldn't decide which flavor. Those who got a middle piece were lucky to have a little of both.

Little Mermaid Cake

This was a Little Mermaid Cake for my niece. My sister-in-law purchased the Ariel and bracelet online in a little kit.

Lua Theme Cake

This is one of my niece's birthday cakes. She had a lua and so I made flip flops to sit in the sand on the beach.

Hello Kitty

This was a little girl's first birthday cake. It is a 1/2 sheet cake with Hello Kitty on the front.

I used a basket weave border around the sides of this cake.

Flip Flops

This was for a summery birthday party for a little girl. I cooked a square cake and then cut out the flip flops. I decorated them using buttercream icing, fruit by the foot, and some artificial flowers. It is set on a board with cinnamon sugar to represent the sand at the beach.

Happy Birthday Balloons

My friend's husband had a birthday and asked me to do a cake for him. This was just a 9x13 cake. I used a big tip to do the border and just did some simple little balloons on it.
