1st Birthday Cake

My cake designs are usually one-of-a-kind for my clients.  I try not to duplicate any previous cakes so everyone has their own custom details.  In this case, the client wanted the same cake as I previously made, except a bit smaller.

I still made a few slight modifications to the nose and the tail.  Isn't that a cute face?  :-)

 The cake was chocolate sour cream cake with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream.

40th Birthday Cake: Disco Cake

What a fun fun fun cake!  I was asked to make a colorful disco-themed cake to celebrate a 40th birthday.  I have made a disco ball before for a dessert table, so I was excited to re-create it.  So I added in lots of color like disco lights and a disco floor with a sprinkle of edible disco dust.

The dancers were free-hand cut and after I took these photos, I added in a few more dancers.

A view from the top - isn't this super fun?

1st Birthday Cake: Topsy Turvy Cake

I was given a lovely color palette to create this 1st birthday cake.  I just love how this topsy turvy cake turned out.  Both tiers were chocolate sour cream cake with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream.

Winnie the Pooh Cake

Many of you might know that I just adore Classic Pooh cake designs and my daughter loves her Pooh Bear.  I was excited to do a 1st birthday cake with the modern and more colorful Winnie the Pooh characters.

There is Tigger hiding in the back of the cake.  You can also see how I put my wires in the cake, I've been meaning to put together a blog post about "Should I put wires directly in my cake?"  Let me know what your thoughts are on that.
