Race Track Cake

All Aboard!!

3rd Birthday Race Track Cake

I thought I would show the steps for this #3 race track cake. I first baked an 11x15 inch sheet cake. Then I made a template for the #3 out of freezer paper, laid it over the cake, and carved out the shape. I then wrapped and froze the cake to make it easier to ice. (carved cake is terribly difficult to ice w/o freezing it first) Next was a crumb coat and then I let it sit for a while to thaw and also let the icing set. I then put the final coat of icing and applied all the fondant accents.

The track, as well as the start and finish boxes are marshmallow fondant. The yellow is buttercream icing.

The name is also made from fondant. Then, at customer's request, I added Hot Wheels cars that the birthday boy can keep later.

I love this cake...it was truly fun to put together!! And quite a change from all the girly cakes I am used to making!

Elmo Cake...and cupcakes!

First Birthday Cake for a Sweet Boy!

My dear friend's little boy had his first birthday party Saturday. Here is his little cake I made. I forgot to take a picture of the matching cupcakes and smash cake...I need to get one from his mommy!!

Elmo Birthday Cake

Here is Elmo's debut on my blog. Not as precise as I would have liked, but okay for a first try. It is a 10 inch 2-layer cake, iced in buttercream with fondant accents. Elmo is piped in buttercream as well. The customer also requested a matching smash cake for the birthday boy.

Giddyup, Cowboy!

This is a two-tier Western themed birthday cake. The bottom tier is an 8 inch square 2-layer cake, and the top tier is a 6 inch round 2-layer. They are both iced in buttercream with tons of fondant accents. The fence and grass is piped in buttercream. The bandana is fondant with details piped in royal icing. The figures were all made with the help of candy molds...I just pressed the marshmallow fondant in the greased candy mold, carefully pulled them out, touched them up, and then let them dry. The hay bale is a small rectangle of cake, crumb coated in buttercream, and covered in fondant. I cut very thin strips and "glued" them to the bale with a touch of water. Then I wrapped "straps" around to look like the hay was tied up. Oh, and I added a bit of silver pearl dust to the horseshoes and a bit of gold to the sheriff's badge. This cake was so fun to make! Yee haw!

Surf's Up!

This cake was for my nephew's 7th birthday. He wanted a surfing/beach theme. It is a 10 inch 2-layer cake iced in buttercream with fondant accents. The "sand" is graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar.

Cupcakes for the Birthday Boy!

These are cupcakes for a simple Thomas the Train party for a 2 year old boy. I just did primary colors and piped the engine numbers on some of them.
