Pinkalicious

Last year this little girl requested a pink birthday cake and a Minnie Mouse theme. This year's request...pink cake and a Pinkalicious theme. Hmmm I think I'm catching on to a theme of...PINK!!!! If you have never heard of Pinkalicious (an adorable children's book) then you must not have a preschool daughter/niece/granddaughter.  The story is about a little girl who eats too many pink colored cupcakes and then she turns PINK! She is thrilled by this but then finds out to turn back to her normal self she must eat only green foods, YUCK! Well I hope no one turns pink after eating these delicious pink (or should I say Pinkalicious) cupcakes. Happy birthday Lily!

Vanilla cupcakes colored PINK, buttercream frosting, white pearl sprinkles, fondant cherries.

 

An Aspiring Ballerina

Oh to be able to move gracefully and elegantly... Well not for me anyway.  I was blessed with the ability to bump, crash, or just about fall doing anything.  This cake was made for a beautiful young lady turning 12.  Gabby is an aspiring ballerina and very dedicated to her dancing.  So this is what we came up with. 

8" Chocolate cake covered with marshmallow fondant and fondant decorations. 

Minnie Mouse

My daughter is in LOVE with all things related to Mickey Mouse.  So after a lot of persuasion on my part to have an Elmo party (her second love) and her insisting on Minnie Mouse, I caved. But I'm glad I did because Minnie mouse is such a FUN theme for a little girl! We had a pin the bow on Minnie Mouse game, Minnie Mouse pinata, lots of pink decorations, and of course Minnie Mouse cake and cupcakes! I also made Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears for the kids to wear but can't find the picture of the adorableness to share.  Here is the link I used to make mine: http://www.thesuburbanmom.com/2010/06/16/how-to-make-mickey-minnie-mouse-ears-for-a-party/.  She even gives a template for cutting out the felt.  A lot of work but they turned out adorable and my sweet Ava loved her ears! Happy second birthday my sweet and spunky Ava!

Minnie Mouse pinata (the aftermath)

The kids had a blast playing pin the bow on Minnie Mouse.  I forgot how fun  simple games can be.

We Have Ears say Cheers!

 Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse! 

These adorable Mickey Mouse cupcakes were made for a very special birthday boy!  After a trip to Disneyland and meeting Mickey Mouse all he wanted was a Mickey Mouse birthday.  Hope you had a wonderful 3rd birthday Kyler!

Let Down Your Hair and Have Some Fun

This cake was designed for my daughter's 5th birthday party.  She wanted a party themed around one of her favorite Disney movies, Tangled.  She really wanted a tower on her cake and of course Maximus, her favorite character.  The tower is made of yellow cake covered in fondant, the bottom two tiers are chocolate cake frosted in buttercream frosting, the birthday girl's favorite.

Chessboard Cake

A friend asked me to make a chessboard cake for her son who is a very talented young man and a champion chess player.  After a lot of research on chessboards and their details I had an idea of what I wanted to do.  The cake is completely edible.  The chess pieces are made of solid chocolate and the cake is chocolate cake with butter cream frosting and fondant details.  Happy birthday Jack!

Toy Story

This cake was made for a very special little boys 6th birthday!  He wanted a Toy Story cake with Buzz Lightyear and Woody. This cake (minus the figurines) is completely edible. The headboard and foot board are his favorite candy bars. Cake and candy what could be better?

Firetruck Birthday

What little boy wouldn't want a firetruck themed birthday?  That is exactly what Kai had for his 3rd birthday! This cake was completely edible and the colors were coordinated to match Kai's invitations.  The inside of the cake was marbled with yellow and orange to have the effect of fire. Hope you enjoyed your special day Kai!

Let's Go Racing!!!

This cake was designed for a special boy who loves cars and racing. This cake was completely edible minus the cars!

Western Themed Wedding

What a fitting theme for the southwest, a western inspired wedding.  The bride wanted the cake and cupcakes to include one of her wedding colors, purple.  The paisley design was an inspiration from the purple bandannas that were used for decorations.

Butterflies, Ladybugs and Dragonflies...Oh My!

Turning 5 is a very BIG deal and should be celebrated in a very special way!  This cake was designed around the theme of a garden/bug party (absolutely adorable idea for a party by the way).  The cake needed to include the color pink (birthday girl's favorite color) and bugs of course.

 

Party fit for 2 Princesses

These beautiful princess cakes were designed by hand for twin sisters, I mean princesses.  We wanted to make sure each little princess felt special and recognized on her very important day so we designed one cake for each little girl.  

Spongebob with Crabby Patties

We had another request for that loveable yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea and loves his crabby patties, Spongebob!  These crabby patties were complete with bun, lettuce, cheese, and of course crabby patty.  The cake was a chocolate cake covered with buttercream and the cupcakes were decorated with delicious buttercream frosting.  The whole cupcake was completely edible and adorable.  

Spongebob Squarepants

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!  And doesn't he look delicious!

"Gnome" Cake Quite Like This One

I just finished my very first gnome cake.  Yes that's right I said gnome cake.  I recently had a very interesting request for a gnome birthday cake and I have to admit I was a little nervous at first.  I wasn't sure how I was going to pull this idea together, but after all is said and done I am very happy with the results.  Jodi and Jeff, hope you all enjoyed the cake!  

12 inch round cake, iced with buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant, completely edible

The little Gnome hats were an inspiration from Gnomeo & Juliet

This was a cake for an adult so we added a few adult beverages  for this gnome to enjoy.

All the flowers were handmade and added to give the affect of a garden.  

The Gnome was hand made, sculpted with cereal treats and covered with fondant.

Wildly Fun (Lingerie Cake)

I had a recent request from a good friend to make as she called it a "boob cake".  After a fun conversation and some research on the internet we came to the conclusion to do a leopard print bra cake.  This cake would be great for many different occasions such as a bachelorette party, lingerie party, bachelor party, bridal shower, and even a celebration for a breast cancer survivor.  It was a ton of fun to make this cake and hope all the ladies loved it!

Oh Boy! cont.

I was honored to throw a baby shower for my dear friend Catey.  She is expecting her second child and this time she is having a BOY!  The theme was green and brown per the mamma to be's request.  We are all so excited to welcome this bundle of joy! Here are some pictures of her cake and banner.

Pregnant Belly!

What a great idea for a baby shower...a pregnant belly cake!  This cake is sure to awe and amaze guests and most importantly the mommy to be.  The "dress" is made of fondant and inspired by the fact that it's summer.

Oh Boy!

A dear friend of mine is having her second child, which so happens to be a boy! I am honored to be able to throw her a baby shower. Here are the invitations I made.

The flap at the bottom has two rivets to make it appear like snaps on a onesie.
