Penguin Cake

Can you believe that in the five years I've been making cakes, that this cake is the first penguin themed creation I've made?! I had a fabulous time making this cake and was pleased with the outcome of the penguin topper. I had the very last minute idea to make a cupcake stand and use that as the holder for the penguin. I made the stand from gumpaste and let it dry, then painted it and sprayed it, and finally gave it a gloss by using a little corn syrup with water.

The cake was for a little girl's birthday celebration and the cake flavors were mint chocolate chip with mint buttercream. The penguin I made with fondant and I used a new brand that I felt took a long time to dry. I textured the front of his body to look like a heart with an arrow through it. The balloons were sugarpaste. One lone snowflake sits between the cupcake stand and the top tier of cake. I finished off the cake with little bows and ribbon at the bottom of each tier.

Monster's Inc Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes I've ever made. This was for a little girl's 3rd birthday party and she just loves the original Monsater's Inc movie. Mike was made from sugarpaste as well as the number three, which I had to hand cut out because I didn't have a letter big enough.

The bottom tier of cake was lemon poppyseed with lemon buttercream and the top tier was a 6 inch banana cake with banana filling and cream cheese frosting.

Ballerina Cake

Dancing Ballerina was made with sugarpaste to ensure she was able to stand up. I'm very proud of how she turned out. I hand painted the dancing stage mice. The cake itself was all marble with strawberry buttcream filling and frosting. The filling was sliced strawberries.
