X-Wing vs. Death Star

Before I say anything, Yes,I've seen all the star wars movies, and yes, i'm a much bigger fan of star wars than my two kids. So, you can only imagine how excited I was when my friend said, "my son wants a cake that's a x wing shooting the death star. Can you do it?" I was so excited and couldn't wait to get started.
I thought for this cake it would be cool to make it look really comic book looking, which is why I chose to use only a few different colors. It was really fun to make, i can't wait to get another crazy cake request!!

Mickey Mouse + Anna 's cakes

So, these cakes were for the same family. My friend's nephew, and her sister, had a birthday party together. As you can see, the cakes were totally different, but they were both equally as fun to make.
Mickey Mouse is actually a really popular cake order I get for 2nd birthdays. And who doesn't love Mickey mouse clubhouse? My son still loves it, for petes sake, and he's 8!
The Anna cake was so much fun to make too, I really love to string beads on pink wire, and do all the older girly stuff, like the leopard shoe. Too much fun!!



Hello Kitty Cakes !!

Here are some Hello kitty cakes I've recently made. I love how Hello Kitty can be dressed however she feels, and surrounded with many different things and colors, and still, she looks as cute as can be. I would like to say that these three little girls were very happy with their cakes, but the middle one was for my big sister, so i guess two little girls, and one big girl, were all happy with their hello kitty cakes. Yes, grownups can love Hello kitty too.







My little Pony cake

This was a really fun cake to make! My friend, who has four kids now, always gives me a theme, and then gives me all the creative freedom in the world to make her something. And every cake I've ever made for her always turns out really cute. Hmm.....
This little pony is made out of rice krispie treats, yummmm!!!


Elmo Cakes

Elmo cakes are pretty popular, especially for first birthdays. Here are a couple of cakes I made with Elmo. They always turn out differently, not really sure why.
When my daughter saw the second elmo cake, she said "elmo looks kinda traumatized" which made me laugh hysterically!
I'm getting better, and realizing that it's really hard to make something look exactly how it's supposed to look, in the cake world. i mean, look at that dinosaur on the train. I didn't model him after anyone, and he looks fine, right? Maybe I should only do imaginary creatures! j/k



Slot Machine Cake

This cake makes me want to go to Reno and play the nickel slots!!! haha
I made this for a friend's grandma, who was turning 81, and loves to gamble!
It was surprisingly pretty simple to make, and turned out really cute too~


Tacos

This cake was actually 6 individual cakes, decorated to look like a giant platter of tacos. The party members were all vegetarian, so the tacos all have hand sculpted beans in them, instead of "meat", haha
It looked pretty funny, a table with picnicky type food, drinks, etc., and then a giant thing of bog ole tacos!! :)
