Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Monkey "Smash" Cakes

I have to say that this was probably the most nervous I was for making a cake so far.  I knew in my head that I could do this cake but coming down to the day to bake and decorate, I got pretty nervous and doubted my abilities.  Why was I so nervous? I have no idea because I was SUPER excited with the results.

Enjoy the pictures!

Picture to the left:  Main cake  decorated with the little guy's favorite cartoon show to include Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and of course the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  The cake is half white and half chocolate, decorated with vanilla buttercream frosting.

Picture Below:  The small smash cake was designed to match the shirt the little guy was wearing on his 1st birthday.  Of course this was a banana cake with vanilla buttercream frosting!

Grandma W's 85th Birthday!

You Only Turn 85 Once!

I wanted to be sure to have a special post to show the cake that I made for Grandma Waneta's 85th Birthday party.  First, let's just say that this is such a special lady who has touched so many people during her life.

 

I wanted nothing more than to make her a cake that was super girlie and super fun to celebrate her special day.  I baked a white cake with buttercream icing and then surrounded it with red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting.

 

Of COURSE everything had to be pink and then I topped the cake with these fun jewels hanging down.  You should have seen her face when she saw it all put together.  Priceless memories!

July Cakes

I haven't updated the blog in quite sometime, unfortunately.  For once it's not because we're "busy" either.  I simply haven't taken the time to do it!  SO... for that reason, I'm going to just simply post a bunch of pictures of the recent cakes I've done.  If you have any questions, let me know!

Mr Auggie's Birthday Cupcake

I think little Auggie liked his 1st Birthday cupcake... just a little!  I will post pics of his cupcakes and cookies soon... I forgot to take some so I hope his mommy will send them to me!  (Video courtesy of Uncle Dave)

A Drama-Filled Birthday

Well, okay... not THAT type of drama!  I made this cake for a fun friend of mine.  Tyler just loves theater and he wanted a cake that had his name in lights!  I happen to not really care for the taste of fondant myself so I did what I could by making the decorations with this cake in buttercream frosting.  Everything was done with a stencil or freehand on this cake.

Baptismal Cake

I actually can't believe how long it has been since I've posted pictures on here!  Our lives have been exceptionally busy over the last two months so I'm going to be posting a lot of pictures tonight so I can catch up...

This cake was so much fun to make.  This was a chocolate cake with chocolate icing (one of my favorite combinations, hehe!) and decorated with white and light blue frosting.
