Disney Princess Cake

Who does not love the Disney Princesses, so this cake was very fun to make.  This cake was for a friend's daughters' birthday.  This was a kit that came with a princess picture frame, princess figurines and the torrets.  We made a two tier, two layer vanilla cake and chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling and a buttercream icing.  After we layered it, we added the pink torrets along with the princess figures.  Then, we piped the purple door with a basket weave tip and applied the door from the kit.

 We then made a handful of purple and pink buttercream roses to scatter along the cake.  Thankfuly, one of us is great at them.  Then we added green grass to the bottom of the cake.  We added a pink window to the back of the castle to give it more flare. 

Then we piped green ivy along the castle to complete the look.

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!   I really enjoy this day.  So I decided to make cute festive treats for my coworkers.  I made green velvet cupcakes and topped them with a Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese frosting.  Yummy.  I have to say the frosting was one of the best I ever had.  I then decorated with a green food mist, dark & light sugar sprinkles and white non-pareils.  Sláinte.

Xbox Cake

So this was a challenging one...but fun.  This was a scratch vanilla cake with a chocolate fudge filling.   The remote was shaped out of Rice Krispy treats.  We made marshmallow fondant and dyed it black.  After cutting and covering the cake and remote, we dyed and molded little pieces of fondant for the joysticks and buttons on the Xbox.  All the little details took a long time but it was well worth it after seeing the finished cake. This was for a 7 year old boy's birthday, so we added a message of Achievement Unlocked - Level 7.  He loved his cake.
