Motocross Themed Cake - August 2011

I made this Motocross themed cake for my brother-in-law, Joe's, birthday.  My mom and Joe were celebrating their birthdays at the same time this year, so I made this cake for the same party that I made my mom's Miche purse cake for (see post Miche Purse Cake).

Miche Purse Cake - August 2011

I made this 3D Miche purse cake for my mom's birthday.  My mom and my brother-in-law, Joe, were celebrating their birthdays at the same time this year, so I made this cake for the same party that I made Joe's Motocross themed cake for (see post Motocross Themed Cake).

Here is the Miche purse cake next to my mom's real Miche purse.

[The change in the look of the handles is due to the fact that they started falling apart.  :(   But that's a story for later.]

Pocket Knife Cake - July 2011

I made this little pocket knife cake for my dad's birthday.  He likes pocket knives, has quite a bit of them, and pretty much always has one with him.  So, as something just quick and fun I made this cake with a fondant pocket knife on it for him.

This is my husband's pocket knife, that I used as a model, next to my fondant one.

Star Wars Clone Trooper Cake - July 2011

I made this Star Wars Clone Trooper cake for my daughter, Cara's, 12th birthday.

The construction of this cake was done very similarly to both the Spider-Man cake (instructions in post) and the Ewok cake that I made previously.  [For this clone trooper cake I used cake for the head though instead of a non-edible material like I used for the other cakes.]

Chocolate and Vanilla Cake Balls - July 2011

I made these chocolate and vanilla cake balls with some cake and icing that I had leftover from my sister's Gone with the Wind cake (see post Have Some Cake Before It's Gone With the Wind...).

I made different combinations of the two flavors inside.

 My kids thought the inside of the one above on the right looked like a white bunny head.  :)

More details later... but for now... to make these cake balls I basically followed the instructions found on Bakerella's website for her cake balls.  I just adjusted the ratio for the amount of cake I had leftover and mixed the two different flavors of cake together for some of the cake balls.
