Retro Video Game Cake - April 2015

I made this retro video game themed cake for my son Caleb's 13th birthday.  It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it.  I tried a new technique and it didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would.

More details to come... 😊

Most Everyone's Mad Here... About Cake! - March 2015

I made these Alice in Wonderland themed teacup cakes and this Cheshire Cat teapot cake for my sister Casandra for her birthday.  She was having a Mad Hatter Tea Party for her birthday party and had requested these for her cake.  She had seen a Cheshire Cat teapot pin and thought it would make a cute cake.  She also asked for some teacup cakes decorated however I thought would be cute, and these are what I came up with.

Young Justice Themed Cake - July 2014

I made this Young Justice themed cake for my daughter Cara for her 15th birthday.  Young Justice is an animated television show that mainly focuses on the younger generation of superheroes.  The character on the right side of the cake (on the blue strip of fondant) is not from the show; it is a character that Cara made up based on herself named Bluefire.

Minecraft Creeper Marshmallows - April 2014

These creeper marshmallows from Minecraft were for the goodie bags at my son's 12th birthday.  (You can see the cake from the party here.)

I bought square marshmallows at the store and airbrushed all sides green.  It didn't matter if they were covered really evenly because the video game has that pixel-y look anyway.  After they dried I used a black edible marker to draw the creeper faces on them.

I thought they were pretty cool, and they kids all loved them.  :)

Minecraft Grass Block Cake - April 2014

I made this Minecraft grass block cake (with a little Steve on top) for my son, Caleb's, 12th birthday.  

It didn't turn out as clean and shored up as I wanted, but I liked it and Caleb was really thought it was cool.  :)

More pictures and details coming soon.  :)

Cake Assist: 'Nerdy 30' Cake - February 2014

My sister Casandra asked me if I could make the decorations for this cake.  Her husband, Joe, baked and iced the cake (both which he made from scratch).  Casandra was turning 30, and she wanted a 'Nerdy Thirty' themed cake.  She told me some things that she'd like to have represented, and then told me to make whatever else I thought would fit the theme.

Live Long & Eat Cake :)

"I'm Batman"

All of the decorations were made out of fondant.  Details were added with fondant or painted on with food coloring or a food coloring marker.  I had figured out how to make the letters of her name out of fondant Tetris blocks, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to make them.

She loved the cake & the party was lots of fun!
