40th Birthday Cake: Porsche Cake

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!  We've been having some warmer temperatures here in Toronto - it does not feel like winter at all.  In the peak afternoon - you really could drive a convertible, so I thought this cake would be appropriate.

It's a chocolate convertible porsche cake for a 40th birthday celebration with the personalized license plate of "OVERTHEHILL".

Have a great week!  I will be back here next week to feature another Guest Cake Designer's creations.

Superheroes Cake

Welcome 2012 and I hope everyone had a wonderful start.  I was out with some friends on New Years Eve and I was reminded of this very interesting fact.... In Back to the Future II, the future date they went to was 2015... that is only 3 years away!  Yikes - time sure flies!

And speaking of somethings that fly... a superhero cake with "cutish" characters made out of sugarpaste.  It was for a 25th birthday and I just loved how it turned out - so colorful and fun! 

 Have a great week - see you next Tuesday!
