More Mario!

This was a cake that just needed to be "something Mario" so I looked at a picture of the new game and made the cake like one of the towers I saw (I know nothing about the game though!) and put a Mario face, I was cutting the Mario while the cake was in the fridge, and when I brought it in I realized I made the face smaller than I meant to but... it still worked alright. (Can you tell I have been loving the star burst thingies?)
Happy Birthday Tyler!

Laser Tag Anyone?

To make this theme I called the Laser tag place where the party was going to be and asked someone to text me a picture of their laser guns for me to copy, but the gun was SO strange looking that I had to just go ahead and copy the Fisher Price toy laser gun.

Spring!

I have been wanting to do a bright yellow cake for a long time and when I got a call for a work birthday party it was the perfect time to make one!

Hard to see the name because it is so big around, but it said Alyson, I love the jumbo letters! The bottom of the cake is circled with my favorite thing from Costco lately, Lemoncello almonds (!!!!) Almonds covered in white chocolate and lemon coating.

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Loved this cake.... just a fun one, pretty and bright. The top tier was Lemon, the bottom tier was Red Velvet. It is hard to see but the tops of the tiers are covered with sparkling sugar!

Motorcycles and Guitars

This family loves having hobbies and "favorite things" on their cakes! For Tim's Birthday it was Dirt biking and "riding on to what is next in life" and then for Kevin, turning 8 was a rock-n-roll theme.

I am noticing that while the cakes were made about 3 weeks apart, they both have the same color scheme going on :)

Easter Egg Cupcakes!

I have been thinking about this idea for months, ever since my Mother in Law gave me a egg shaped cupcake pan. These are filled with a whipped buttercream filling- I think it's my favorite part!, and covered with a thin layer of buttercream and then ganache to give it that glossy finish. Topped with pink, yellow and purple flowers. Happy Easter!

Easter is on its way!
