Pikachu I choose you!

This week someone ordered a pokemon cake which the nerd in me was very excited about. It's nice to see the things I loved as a kid still kicking around. 

For this cake they wanted pikachu on the top and seven other characters around the sides which they chose. 


Here is a pic of all the completed decorations 

The names of all the characters are 
Jigglypuff, Diglett, Poliwag, Chikorita, Wigglypuff, Gastly, and Slakoth(

Here are a couple of close-ups

I can hold up the cup And the milk and the cake! said the cat in the hat

 Here's a picture of a cake i did this week for a 2 year olds birthday. I was really excited when someone said they wanted a cat in the hat cake. It was a nice break from all the princesses, Elmo's, and Dora's. The cake was also my favorite flavor banana with marshmallow icing, it may sound a bit strange but its delicious. All the decorations are made of fondant. 

I may add some better photos later, this one was just taken on my cell phone.

Beauty & the Beast

Here is a cake I did recently, which was probably the most difficult cake I have made thus far. It was a beauty and the beast cake with matching themed cupcakes. The client was very specific in what she wanted, which in some ways is actually helpful. 

The most difficult part about this cake was definitely the figures on top. Figuring out how to construct them so that they can survive the delivery while retaining each figures characteristic. The second hardest part was the delivery itself, every little bump made my heart drop, I kept thinking this is it this will be the bump that ruins the cake. It was like having a glass baby on a rollercoaster. 

Luckily the cake made it safely not a mark on it, we assembled the stand with the cake and all the cupcakes. We met the woman who ordered the cake, she loved it and then I could finally breathe. So it all came out well with no disasters. 



This is a closeup photo of the Beast (all decorations are made of fondant)
