Swimming Fish Birthday

A birthday cake for my niece! She turned 7 and had a swimming/fish party. She just moved across the US - so wanted to make her an extra special cake!

Bridal Shower Cake #2

Another bridal shower cake. This one for my future sister-in-law, Emily. This was a themed shower - 27 dresses. So, I made the cakes ... what else - dresses! One was marble and the other strawberry. The pink skirt one, I wasn't sure if it was going to make it to the shower. When it baked, it baked hollow inside. So, it didn't have a very good structure. It cracked & eventually during the shower - the back part of it came tumbling off. It looked cute while it lasted!

Candyland Birthday

For my daughter's 2nd birthday - we had a Candyland themed party. I saw so many inspiration cakes with a replica of the candyland game board ... but, they just weren't cute enough! So - I thought this idea was definately cute enough for my little 2 year old. Once the cake was covered in fondant - it was actually really easy to do. Most of the cake was candy and buttercream. Just lots of little details. It was all worth it when Sam woke up in the morning and saw her cake. Her eyes got huge and she said "WOW - Pretty Cake" and then of course "MY cake". Too cute! With all the candy we had at the party, we could have skipped cake all together...but, what's a birthday without cake!

I represented a few of the different "lands" of Candyland : I have no idea what these places are really called?? King Castle (with ice cream cones), Lollipop Land (with lollipops and jelly bean grass), Peppermint Land (with what else - peppermints), Gumdrop land (with dots and the tree).

The lollipop side of the cake.

The peppermint side of the cake. I wanted to put candy canes ... but couldn't find any & was too lazy to make them out of fondant.

Blowing out the candles!
