Harry Potter!

0 comments

This is going to go up with one of my all time FAVORITE cakes. I didn't mind nor did I count the hours spent making the invidual pieces, I was THRILLED that I was asked to make a Harry Potter theme birthday cake.

For all those Harry Potter fans you know ALL about the different elements to this cake.

The Quidditch ball with its wings,

The sorting hat for the fellow students at Hogwarts.

Harry's iconic red and yellow scarf, and his signature glasses.

What special is the wand, not just any wand,

it belongs to Dumbledore.

This birthday boy LOVES Dumbledore and requested his wand to be on his cake!

Happy Birthday Cody!

Valentine Cookies!

Last week was Valentines, and what better way to celebrate but with sweet cookies. These were actually for a great cause. I sent these dozen cookies to a young boy through Cookies Smiles, a joint program with the group Icing Smiles - which provides custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by critical illness of a child.

Cookies Smiles is just a smaller group that reaches out to families each month with a dozen sweet smiles!

My little guy has yet to discover what these neat toys are yet, but this is my second Beyblade cake. My apologies for the blurry picture. But this is my version of what a Beyblade is on a cake for a young boy who was celebrating his birthday with just his family last week.

Dinosaur Train

0 comments

What little boy doesn't love trains and dinosaurs?

PBS took both ideas and made an incredible cartoon called Dinosaur Train! This cake was for a sweet little boy who was turning three and LOVES the show.

The story is about dinosaurs who explore all the differnt eras of the dinosaur period as they travel on a train through a time tunnel to visit with different dinosaurs and learn along the way. Great show!

What I love (and I'm so proud of) is this is ALL buttercream, hand drawn and piped on!

Happy Birthday Caden!

For a friend who was was traveling to celebrate her sisters 30th birthday this weekend, this cute (and small) cake was spun off of ideas of France and the Eiffel Tower and the birthday girls favorite color cominbation, pink and black. No Eiffel Tower, but very simple and cute too!

All buttercream, except for the bottom trim, bow on top

and the letter "B" plaque in the middle.

Happy Birthday!

Despite the rain and cold temperature that this past Saturday brought, these two young people were not going to let that stop their fabulous February wedding!

A simple, elegant, but modern feel to their wedding cake, a three tier square cake with simple red flowers and a black fondant band around each tier.

Congratulations to Magen and Jason!

And, the bride asked me to create a special surprise grooms cake, this is the US Soccer Crest.

Surprise and Congrats Jason!
