Jewelry Box Cake

JEWELRY BOX CAKE

We recently made a couple cakes for a family party. We celebrated my aunts sister turning 50, and her other sister graduating with her PHD. So it was quite the cause for celebration. 

My mom worked really hard at creating this amazing Jewelry Box Cake. The actual jewelry is not edible, (shhh) and the lid on the box is only covered in fondant, so technically that is not edible either, BUT everything else is. The jewelry box was covered in a chocolate fondant. SHe created the handles, and painted them with edible gold. She added some fine fondant velvet on top, and placed the jewelry on it. Along with some black and red roses, and the cake is finished. SImple, classy, and TIME CONSUMING, just the way a cake should be right? It turned out awesome, especially for being our first time creating something this!

So sorry for the lack of posts around here, BUT we've all been kinda sick. Of course school starts and it doesn't take long around here. Not to mention I've been busy with a HUGE giveaway that is going on my other blog right now.

Party Planning Tuesdays will continue just as soon as things settle back down. 

Thanks for understanding!

Rice Crispy Elmo Cake

Check out this Elmo cake. Do your kids love Elmo, I know mine sure did, in fact they still do. How can you not love Elmo? The actual cake was covered in fondant. We placed different sized circles and a two toned fondant twisted rope as the border. Elmo however was made from Rice Crispy Treats, and decorated with colored buttercream. His eyes, and nose were indeed covered in fondant.

Purple Heart Barbie Cake

Purple Heart Barbie Cake

This barbie cake is what every little girl needs at least once in her life. We created her dress out of fondant, and stamped the white to look like a lovely lace. We made a pretty flower and added a heart to the dress as well. These cakes are so fun to make, decorating the dress is always so much fun.

I thought I'd try my hand at changing the background again? I know it looks fake, but tell me honestly does it look better or worse?

Blue Prince Cake

Blue Prince Cake
This was a fun cake to make. The little boy was turning one, and his mom wanted a crown for her little prince. We added simple balls, and stripes, all staying with the blue color to compliment the rest of the cake. It turned out just as we had pictured, maybe even better, lol. I love making whimsical cakes like this.

The BASKETBALL cake

The BASKETBALL cake
This is a two tiered cake, with the marbled square underneath the basketball. Using a ball shaped pan, you can create many types of cakes. This client requested a basketball theme. So we made the basketball the topper. We covered everything in fondant, and added some stars as decorations.

Dora Birthday Cake

How cute is this cake? I love Dora, Dora, Dora the explorer :) 
There was no special pan used here, just a regular quarter sheet, cut in shape. Then with a template of Dora, we started outlining Dora, and filing her in with the star tip, and colored frosting. Again piping on the final details, around the eyes, clothes, body, shoes, and jewelry. 


This type of cake is simple even for a beginner. I like to say if you can color you can pipe little stars, to fill in the blanks. Give it a try next time, take your time with it, and have fun. You'll be surprised at how simple it really is.

Tennis court birthday cake

How cute is this cake. A wonderful fondant cake, covered in green grass, and the court is set and ready to play some tennis. It almost reminds me of a WII tennis game, so cute. Victor just loved it.

Got Botox cake

This cake was ordered for a lady who is works at a plastic surgeons office. Guess what she does? Yup, she gives people botox shots, so we made her a cake to show some big plump lips, all thanks to the botox of course. It was kind f difficult making the lips, I didn't know how big to go, clearly I wanted them to be VERY plump, and full. Do you think I went overboard, he he.

FEATURED - The Pom Pom Birthday Cake -

This is the very first FEATURED cake we are doing! How exciting! My sweet friend Ami @ Alililly made her sweet girl who turned 3 a darling little cake. The inside was so pretty, with colors to match the decorations, and she topped the cake with a beautiful little banner. Complete with MINI tissue paper pom poms. It was just adorable. So the next time you are looking for an easy, quick way to decorate a birthday cake, why not try this.

Barbie Cake

Every little girl needs at least one Barbie Birthday cake right? I love the way this one turned out. The barbie is so pretty with her gorgeous dress strapped to her wrists. Sometimes, when we use a barbie that is kind of (naked) we need to add a blouse to her too. This one already had a lovely top as well, so we just created the rest of the dress. The mom wanted whipped topping, instead of fondant, so we simply added some sugar flowers to the fluffy whipped topping white dress, and the cake is finished. Little Cassidy was pleased, and everyone enjoyed a tasty piece of cake. Then the birthday princess got to play with her new Barbie doll.

Have you had a Barbie cake before? Have you ever tried making one? I would love to hear all about it. Make sure to leave a link if you have one, so I can come visit you!!

Hello Kitty Fondant Cake

This is one of the many hello kitty cakes we have done. They always turn out so cute. This is an example of a 3-d carved cake, usually covered in fondant for the smoothest finish. The entire body was just cut out and carved from a large sheet cake. 

This particular shape is rather simple to carve even for a beginner. If you are unsure of carving it free hand you can always make a large template. Print out your hello kitty and enlarge it to the size you want your cake to be, and then cut it out. Now you can place that on your cake, and cut the shape perfectly. 

For a more realistic form, further crave away around the ears, and round out the arms and legs, so they are not squared. We covered the head and body in fondant, but the hands and legs were piped with the star tip and icing. The bow and eyes are also cut out of fondant. 

Here I just wanted to show what a little photo editing can do for a picture. Remember most of these pictures are taken with my moms iphone, and she is not a photographer. I am also nowhere near a professional, and haven't ever really messed with photo editing too much, but what a huge difference it makes. I think I need to go back and edit all my pictures now. 

Obviously the before picture. It's a pretty huge difference right? Are any of you picture pros. First of all do you have any tips for taking better pictures with an iphone. Second can you tell me, did I do the color ok in the first picture. I had no idea what I was doing, i just messed with it until the pink was more bright, and to me that looked prettier. Did I do ok?

Spongebob Square Pants - Cake

I just love the way Spongebob Square Pants turned out. He is perfect, with his two buck teeth, pointy nose, scrawny arms and legs, and that awesome red tie. He is decorated with fondant. Remember when creating Spongebob he needs to be rectangular, so use a 1/4 sheet, 1/2 sheet, or even two square pans next to each other to create his body. I'm sure Ethan loved his cake!!

African Safari Cake

This cake is a great example of how you don't have to create everything from fondant, and still have a really great looking cake.

You can usually pick up a cake kit from your local grocery store, or  party city. We used the kit from Madagasgar, and it worked perfectly with out African Safari theme. 

Since we don't own a cake printer yet, we will sometimes print out a picture and laminate it so we can place it on the cake. The map of Africa is an example of how this looks. This could all be hand painted, and everything could be made edible, including all the animals and trees. 

Sometimes, you may not want to spend the time to do that, or your client may not have it in their budget to have everything handmade, so this is a great alternative. The cake is still covered in fondant, and after you eat the cake, you can still play with the animals. Great for a kids party!!

Butterfly, Flower Birthday Cake

What a pretty cake for the birthday princess turning one.

Her mom wanted Rianna's cake to have plenty of pretty butterflies, flowers, and stripes. We had a party plate to look at, and had to draw inspiration from there. 

The cake is just so colorful, and it was tons of fun creating it.

All the decorations are handmade from fondant, (except the silver butterfly, that was actually a wand).
