Frist birthday duck and ladybug.

My baby just turned one. For my older girls I made a cute little duck cake for their first birthdays.
The night before the big day I was thinking about my little ones cake and I just decided that I have done enough duck cakes and am ready for something different. So there's what my baby ended up with.
She loved having her own little ladybug cake to eat and it looked so sweet. I decorated the ladybugs with Marshmallow Fondant which was so easy to make and so good to eat. I recommend it to everyone. And it wasn't as hard to get the black and red colors as I thought it would be. Just used a lot of color tint. I love how it turned out.

Started as Valentine Cake, Ended up as Easy Chocolate

Here is what happens when you make a cake with the "help" of a four and two year old. You may ask yourself, what's the problem, this is a cute cake. And it is, it just isn't what I wanted it to be. I told my daughters we were going to make a valentines day cake for Daddy. I made a chocolate cake and decorated it with chocolate frosting. Then I made a chocolate heart on the top. The idea was to put the sprinkles inside the heart. Well, four and two year olds, love sprinkles (at least mine do). So we ended up with sprinkles all over the top. It was cute, it just didn't have the valentines day flair I wanted. The border is just a simple shell border, the edging on the side is made with a cool tool I have, you just run the tool around the cake and da, ta, super easy.

Another Princess Cake

Here's another princess. Surprised? You wouldn't be if you knew I have three daughters. The oldest is only 5 this year so I know that there are many more princesses in my future. For now, here is Giselle. She is a new character from Disney, from the movie Enchanted. My girls just love this movie. I decided to do her in her wedding dress for the simple reason that it's really the only one she wears in the movie that was full enough to use this cake pan.
It is a simple doll cake with the Wilton wonder pan. I used an Ariel barbie, Disney doesn't sell any Giselle barbies. None that I could find anyway. Since Giselle has long red hair I felt like it'd do.

The Big 30!

This is the cake that I made for my hubby when he turned 30. He loves fireworks. In fact the 4th of July is his 3rd favorite holiday (he numbers them, isn't that cute?) So we went with a fireworks cake to mark the big day.As you can see, most of it was just fun cake toppers I found at Party America.

In Honor of my Mickey Mouse Nut

My Daughter loves Mickey Mouse. So for her 3rd birthday we made her a Mickey and friends cake.I made it two layers so that she and her friends could eat the bottom layer during her birthday party. And we ate the top layer with Daddy when he came home from work that night. It was so easy. I just make a cute two layer cake and added some Mickey and Friends figures from the Disney store. She loved it!

Go Utes!

I'm not really a fan, but my husband sure is. The University of Utah had a great Football season this year. In honor of that I post my U of U cake. It is a simple white frosted cake with melted chocolate drum and feather. ( I used the Wilton candy melts and then just melted them and made the shapes I wanted. It was a bit like painting.) I held the feather up with three white frosted cup cakes. So for my husband and all Ute fans out there. GO UTES!!

Here's another fun kids cake. I made this for my two year old. We took our kids for Disneyland for their birthday's that year so everyone had a amusement park themed cake. This one turned out really well. My poor four year old's looked awful. Anyway, this one is a carousel. She loved it.
We bought the carousel kit from Wilton and it was very easy to put it all together. The top is just a nine inch circle cake with star tip frosting. The bottom is a two-layer eight inch cake.
