Call of Duty Cake

Inspired by a Pinterest post my friend Ashla and I made this cake for her brother-in-law who is a fan of Call of Duty games.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the fondant to lay flat but I think it still looks pretty good.

 

Here is is with the added silver luster dust.

Disney's Frozen Birthday Cake

For Addison's 9th Birthday...

 Vanilla buttercream rosettes in a blue to white ombre.  Blue blueberry flavored hard candy broken to make ice.  Disney characters purchased through Amazon.com and Elsa on top is from the Disney.com

Recipe for hard candy:

2 C sugar

1 C corn syrup

1/2 C water

Death Star Cake

I really didn't like making this cake because it wasn't perfectly spherical which bothered me.  I know what to do for the next time I make a spherical cake, but I don't plan on making one any time soon :-)

Twins Halloween Birthday cake

Since my boys birthday is only 6 days away from Halloween we decided to have a Halloween themed birthday party.  They loved it and it was so much fun having the kids dress up.

I made this cake using white cake mix which I colored with food dye.  Frosted the cake with butter cream and then colored and rolled fondant.  The toppers are just plastic wind up toys I found in the store.

I used the neon food coloring I found in our local grocery stores.

As you can tell they had a great day!

Lalaloopsy cake

This was one of those hectic weeks and I didn't have time to make a fondant Lalaloopsy cake so I found these plastic cake toppers on Etsy.  She seemed just as happy and I didn't have to do much work.

Chewy!

Here's a simple Chewbacca cake I made for my son's 16th birthday using chocolate frosting and some fondant.
