Princess and the Frog

For A's 6th birthday she picked out princess and the frog cupcakes to bring to school. She wanted the princess one's to be for the girls and the frogs to be for the boys. The kid's loved them!

Meeska Mooseka Mickey Mouse

My sister's friend was having a mickey mouse themed birthday party for her daughter, Faith, who was turning 3. She asked if I could make a cake. This is by far one of my favorite one's that I've made and the first three tiered one that I've done. I had the challenge of transporting it to the party and learned a lot in the process. I now know why the cake shows on tv assemble them at the destination. =) Thankfully it made it there in one piece. 

Jungle Cupcakes

K's been wanting me to make S'more's cupcakes for months. I was having trouble finding the graham flour that I needed for the recipe but K's dad was able to find it. Yeah!!!!  K loves animals so I ended up adding a chocolate one on top for her birthday celebration at school.

Graduation

For K's graduation party I made another cookie cake but for her's I ended up drawing a traditional cap and diploma.

Honu Cookie Cake

I made a Honu cookie cake for A to bring to school for her end of the school year party. We kept it  simple by putting two honu (turtles) that were heading towards the water. 

Strawberry Shortcake

My first attempt at using fondant was for a friend of mine. Her daughter was turning 5 and loved Strawberry Shortcake. I found a picture of a similar cake to the one I did online and thought that it would be perfect. I made a three tiered strawberry cake with coordinating cupcakes. I learned so much with this cake and can't wait to make another one. 

Building a Sandcastle

For an Ariel themed party I made a sandcastle cake. I had a blast building it and the best part about this one was that it was edible.  The towers were made by stacking up different sized cupcakes and topping them off with an upside down sugar cone. It took me awhile to figure out how to add the birthday girl's name to it. I thought about how when we go to the beach the kids always take a stick and draw in the sand so I tried to do the same to the cake. It didn't stand out enough so instead I ended up breaking up pretzel sticks and laying them down on the cake. I loved how it turned out.
