Frills for Mom!

This year marked a milestone birthday for my Mom and so it was celebrated with one of her favourite things...chocolate!  A chocolate buffet was featured at her party and this cake was featured on the buffet table!  Surprisingly, this cake is not all chocolate!  The bottom tier is chocolate with chocolate buttercream filling, while the top is lemon with raspberry filling.  I've been wanting to try this frill technique for awhile and thought Mom's birthday party would be as good a time as any to experiment!  Since the colour theme of the party was pink and black, it made sense to do the cake in graduated shades of pink.  It was topped with a simple black flower!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

M.I.C.K.E.Y...M.O.U.S.E.!!!

 This was another cake which I was completely honoured to make!  A very special little fellow was celebrating his very first birthday and Mickey Mouse was the winner for choice of cake!!!  I found a clip art image of Mickey and used it as a stencil to hand cut the image out of fondant for the cake.

 I then added fondant letters with the birthday greeting, a fondant #1 and black and red fondant ball trim to finish it off!  The cake was half cookies and cream and half chocolate!

Joshua's Mommy and Daddy - thanks for giving me the honour of making his first birthday cake!

Luau!!!

Wow, it's been far too long since I've posted anything; life's been a bit on the crazy side but it's time to bring this blog up to date!  This cake was made back in June for 10 year old Laura's Luau themed birthday party.  It was a fun little one to make, with it's vibrantly coloured flowers and cute little flip flops!  What a great way to kick off summer!!!
