Percy Jackson Cake

This cake was inspired by a picture sent to me by my client. I knew when I saw the picture that I could make the cake even better. The top is made to look like the shield Percy carried in the movie, "The Lightning Thief", and is completely edible, made from cake, fondant, and royal icing, airbrushed with gold edible paint. The cake is a 10 inch chocolate cake with buttercream icing. The elements on the board are also made from fondant. The client was thrilled with the cake, and I was very happy with how it turned out.

The Rhinoceros Cake

The request for this theme is not one that you get very often, but I had so much fun making this cake! I love the little rhino on top. I really wanted to keep him and put him on my desk. He makes me smile. This cake was for a first birthday for a little boy with the nickname of "Rhino", and it's a 6 inch and 5 inch super mini tiered cake. I loved making this cake.

A Sock Monkey First Birthday Party

This was one of my orders for this weekend...a plethora or sock monkey themed goodies. The tiered cake is chocolate with chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream, and homemade marshmallow fondant. The smash cake is chocolate with buttercream, and the cupcakes are vanilla bean with sugar cookie toppers. Happy birthday Hudson!

 

Beach Ball Themed 1st Birthday and Smash Cake

These cakes were inspired by the invitation design for this beach ball themed first birthday party. Cake is vanilla, iced in buttercream, with fondant accents. The smash cake is all buttercream. The client loved it, and so did I! I was kind of sad to deliver it because it was so cute!

 

Chic Michael Kors 21st Birthday Cake

Simple, yet sophisticated. Happy birthday Evelin!

Andrew's Texas Rangers Cake

My son Andrew's birthday is in December, but we usually wait to have his party in the summertime, since we are usually traveling for Christmas on his actual birthday. This year, he requested a baseball party. At first, he wanted a Texas Tech cake, but then after seeing all the cute Texas Rangers party stuff at the party store, he changed his mind. He was responsible for the design of this cake...I just had to execute it. :) I was really happy with how the cake turned out. It was definitely a hit with all the party attendees (no pun intended). The cake itself is covered in buttercream, and the hat and ball are covered in fondant. The hat is cake also (excluding the brim, which is also fondant). The cake is vanilla flavor.

Brother and Sister Joint Birthday Party Cakes

These cakes are for a brother and sister's joint birthday party. I was pretty worried about the lego cake, though I don't really know why. Maybe it was the character on top...I couldn't quite figure out how to make it. As you can see, I got it figured out. :) I was really happy with how these two cakes turned out. I hope they like them! Happy birthday Alexa and Julian!
