Robot Cake

Hi everyone, its been awhile since we had a cake to make so it was very exciting to get back into the swing of things.  This cake was a chocolate cake with a raspberry filling, such an awesome combo.  Once the robot was covered with fondant, we added screws and little gadgets then we sprayed it with a pearl mist to give it a metal look.

On the bottom tier, we covered the cake in red fondant and then added green strips of fondant for a playful look.  On the strips, we added silver sugar beads to give it a more dimension.  We cut out gears which we colored silver and added the name over it.  The top tier was covered in blue fondant and we added silver screw heads and finally we piped a border around both tiers to finish the look.  It was a very fun cake.

Toy Story Cake

This cake was really cool.  The bottom tier, we covered in green fondant to look like grass.  We cut out varying sizes of brown fondant to resemble wood planks which then we brushed with brown color to give it a weathered look.  Then we piped green grass along the bottom edge.  We made an Etch-a-Sketch with Dylan's age on it.  Then framed it with Woody and Rex.

On the center tier, we covered it in blue fondant so it looked like the night sky.  Then we twist brown fondant to resemble rope to connect both tiers and we put Jessie on top.  We attached yellow stars in different sizes and the birthday boy's name.  On the top of the cake, we covered a piece of cake with a grey marbled fondant so it looked like a moon rock.  We made many white fondant balls to give Buzz Lightyear a flying feel. 

Little Mermaid Cake

We were really excited for this cake.  The cake flavors were red velvet with cream cheese icing and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse.  Once the cakes were covered in fondant, we colored the cake with blue and green spray to resemble the ocean. 

We added fondant accents of underwater life such as plants, starfish and more.  Then we molded Flounder and Sebastian out of fondant which was challenging but a learning experience.

 We added a mini cake on top which we covered with brown fondant to look like a boulder in the water.  Then we added Ariel on the boulder to complete this beautiful cake.

Wow Wow Wubbzy Cake

So this cake was new for us since we did not know of Wow Wow Wubbzy.  I have to say that it was fun because it is so different.  The bottom tier was a red velvet cake with an awesome cream cheese icing.  The top tier was a vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling, which i have to say is delicious.  Once the cakes were covered, we cut out mountains, clouds, cactus, grass, butterflies, flowers and a bird.  After adding all the fondant details, this cake looked sooo playful. 

Now we had to created Wow Wow's ball and Wow Wow himself.  For the ball, we covered a styrofoam ball with blue fondant and then we added light blue polka dots.  For Wubbzy, we covered a styrofoam rectangle with yellow fondant then we molded his arms, feet and ears.  Then we added black fondant accents for his eyes, nose and mouth.   Sooo cute.

Gary and Heather's Wedding Cake

This was our first Wedding cake. My (Dawn's) brother and Heather were getting married on the beach in Stone Harbor, NJ. They rented a house for the week there and all of their closest family members. It was awesome having my brother and husband helping me tort, filling and cover the cakes. 

 The top tier is white cake with raspberry chambord filling and white chocolate buttercream. Middle tier is Dark chocolate with raspberry chambord and chocolate mouse and the bottom tier is a french vanilla with raspberry chambord with white chocolate buttercream....The cake was delicious..... 

 I made the Cala Lilies with white gum paste and dusted with yellow shimmer powder on the inside of the flower.

I covered the cake with scrolls using royal icing and adding silver dragees at the end of each. My sister-in-law bought this silver wire ribbon to put around the bottom of the cake tiers. The M on the top of the cake is a sterling silver M that Heather and Gary bought for their cake topper. To add an added touch I sprayed Shimmer pray onto the cake. Everyone LOVED the cake...I was very proud.

Baby Minnie Mouse Cake

This cake was soo much fun to make.  The bottom tier was a vanilla/chocolate marble cake with a chocolate mousse filling which we covered in pink fondant and then appiled white polka dots.  The middle tier was a red velvet with cream cheese icing filling which we covered in white fondant and then applied royal icing dots with silver dragees.  The name was a cut out of Disney-like lettering.  The top tier was a vanilla cake with a raspberry filling which was then covered in white fondant and then we applied strips of hot pink, light pink, white and orange.  The border was royal icing dots around all tiers.  Finally, we cut out Minnie mouse ears which we topped the cake with for a finishing touch.

Tinkerbell Tree Cake

      This beautiful cake was for adorable Cieara's 5th birthday.  At first, we were a little anxious that it was so much but we just jumped in and challenged yourselves.  The cake was a vanilla & chocolate marble that was filled with alternating layers of a chocolate buttercream and cannoli filling.  The cake looked wonderful.  After covering the cake in fondant, the center was cut out so we could place a pillar covered with rice krispy treats in, that was to make the tree stable in the cake. 

      We then sprayed pink, purple and blue colors on the fondant so the cake could have a colorful, playful look.  Little pink, blue and purple flowers were added to the cake.  After rolling brown fondant logs, we affixed them to the column.  We saw the cake coming together so nicely.  Once the tree bark was finished, we hand painted brown streaks on the tree to give it a realistic feel to the bark.  We cut out blades of grass which we applied around the bottom. 

      The top of the tree was a round mound of vanilla cake that was iced and cover with assorted sizes of leaves and pretty flowers.  Thanks to Marcelo for help with the leaves.  We hung 2 fairies so they could appear to fly and we placed 2 by the tree.  The finishing touches were the tinkerbell candle on top and the cute purple flower candles around the base.  Then finally, we added some pearl dust to the leaves and grass so the cake had a magical feel.
