Musk Ox Cake

I made this cake at the request of an old man who wanted a small cake for his wife's birthday.  He told me that she likes white cake, musk oxes, and blueberries.  So I make this small two layered white cake with homemade blueberry filling, cream cheese frosting, chocolate rocks, and fondant decorations.

I loved making the little musk ox.  I think he is so cute.

I made his fur with the help of my KichenAid pasta attachment.

I just hope that when I turn 70 my husband is just as thoughtful.

Hello Again Kitty

This is my second attempt at making a Hello Kitty cake at the request of a friend for her daughters birthday.  I like this one much better than the one I did two years ago. http://nomemade-cakesandcookies.blogspot.com/2010/08/hello-kitty-cake.html

 

I baked 3 layers using a 11x15 inch baking pan (1/3 sheet cake).  You could make a slightly smaller Hello Kitty and bake two layers using 9x13 pan.  
I used a Hello Kitty clip art as a template to cut out the cake shape.

For this particular cake I used 2 layers of Strawberry cake and the middle with Chocolate cake with Strawberrry Jam filling. Crumb coat a thin layer of butter cream frosting and then added rolled fondant. 

Bow, eyes, nose are all fondant.  Whiskers are toothpicks covered in fondant.  All are attached using corn syrup.


I didn't want them poking holes with candles into Hello Kitty's face so with my left over cake I made a small one.

Decorated with Wilton's Hello Kitty candles and cake rings which you can purchase through Amazon.com

Yoda Cake

This is my attempt at making a Star Wars Yoda cake...  With Christmas celebrations, job promotion, and assisting in our hospital grand opening even life has been a little hectic.  This is what I came up with with the little time I had.  I wanted to surprise my husband with a cake, I know he wasn't expecting it.

 Happy Birthday Sean!

Wedding Cake for the Hughes

I made this cake for Lori (Keller) Hughes and Gerald Hughes wedding.  3 tiered cake. Bottom and top are Devil's food chocolate cake with cherry pie filling and the middle tier is white cake with orange flavored buttercream.  All covered in fondant and decorated with pink roses.  This took about 3 days to complete.  On the 3rd day I stood back and I saw everything that I had made, and, behold, it was very good. And on the 4th day... I rested :-)

 

This photo was taken before I added the flowers I wanted you to see the details on the trim.

Disney's Brave Cake

I got the layout idea from a tinkerbell cake I saw online but instead of of using tinkerbell figures I used Brave figures that I bought from Walmart's bakery.
