Little Mermaid

I had a request from a very special girl for a Little Mermaid Cake. Here's what I made her...

Mickey Mouse

I created a Minnie Mouse about a year ago, and was very excited to have a chance to create her better half! I made this for a 1 year old birthday. Mickey is my signature citrus cake and the balloons are the chocolate allergen free cakes. There's no egg, nuts, or milk in them. My client was concerned with food allergies so, of course, I had a delicious recipe for her!

Feliz Cumpleanos!

A co-worker of Eric's hired me to make her granddaughter a Dora the Explorer cake. I've never made Dora and don't really know much about her since the boys don't watch that show. A little research on the internet, a lot of different colors, and a tedious hand created the following cake. Come on VAMANOS!

Spiderman Cake

This is my latest creation. It's a 12" round yellow cake with strawberry filling, and vanilla fondant. Spiderman himself is also made out of fondant.

Sesame Street Revisited

I made the Sesame Street characters again, and this time it's for a real client! The last time was just a trial run. I was MUCH happier with the coloring of Elmo and Cookie and Grover. Thanks to an old high school friend who gave me the hint about CK powdered coloring..wink wink Ashley! Now, when it came to making Ernie come to life, I ran into a snag. Ernie looked like a sunburned George Hamilton. I'm not ashamed to show my ugly creation...see him below. Eric was more than happy to eat him!

I started with the mini-cakes. I put them all on a piece of parchment paper and labeled them so I would know which character was which. I also had a few made of rice cereal for my son who has severe food allergies. (Poor little kid can't have CAKE!!)

Next, I started decorating them with black first for the mouth...



After the black, I started "furring" them...

Next, I added the eyes, hair, nose, and eyebrows...here are the finished monsters


I'm MUCH happier with these, and LOVE the addition of Bert. Maybe Ernie will make it next time.

Finally, here is Ernie aka George Hamilton after a beach vacation...

Minnie Mouse Cake

I made this cake for a girl's 2nd birthday party. This was a very involved cake!!!! The face is made of regular cake, and the ears are made of chocolate cake that is egg and nut free. This cake is double layer, and is the equivalent of 2 cake mixes.

You can order this cake for $75. I can make variations including the color of fondant or even to turn her into Mickey Mouse.
