Monster High Cakes

I first created a Monster High cake in 2012, but it looks like they are still very popular.  This lucky 7 year old had 2 dolls to keep, Lagoona Blue and Clawdeen Wolf.  Their dresses were made out of cake and sugarpaste.

The cakes were chocolate sour cream with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream.

7th Birthday: Lego Cake

It has been a while since I've done a Lego themed cake and I love the classic lego myself!  This was cake #2 for my nephews birthday for his lego party with his school friends.

Here are some different angles of the cakes.  The cakes were chocolate velvet with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream.

Hero 6 Baymax Cake

It's that time of year again, when my nephew's birthday rolls around.  This year's theme was a toss up between the movie Hero 6, Lego and Minecraft. Well I'm glad it wasn't Minecraft... :-)

My nephew had 2 celebrations this year, so I made him a Baymax cake for our family celebration and a Lego cake for his school friend party. I will post that one next week.

And here is a review of all his past birthdays!

• 1st birthday Heffalump cake 
• 2nd birthday Tractor cake
• 3rd birthday Crane cake
• 4th birthday Stegosaurus cake
• 5th birthday Transformers cake
• 6th birthday Angry Birds Star Wars cake

Pink and Purple Cupcakes

Some cupcakes for a girl who loves pink, purple, roses and purses.

The cupcakes were vanilla bean cupcakes with half vanilla swiss meringue buttercream and the other half lemon buttercream.

Blue Whale Cake

One of the first cakes that I posted on my blog was a big blue whale so I had a lot of fun creating another one this past weekend.  This cake was many many layers of blueberry swirl cake (made by the client) with lemon zest swiss meringue buttercream.

Frozen Cupcakes

These Frozen cupcakes are perfect for a cold day in Toronto.  I used edible markers and food coloring to freehand draw the characters onto the fondant disc. 

 

The cupcakes were chocolate sour cream with vanilla bean buttercream and strawberry buttercream

7th Birthday Cake: Puppy Cake

Last year, I made a 6th birthday cake for a girl who loves dogs.  For her 7th birthday, it was the same theme and I could do any design I wanted to.

I have to admit, I do have this thing where I refuse/avoid making carved cakes that look like realistic animals, babies and also baby bumps - I know its just cake, but I still can't stand the thought of a knife cutting into it.  However, for animal cakes, as long as I can make them stuffed animal looking and cartoony, then its okay by me.  Here's some other views of the puppy cake.

 

Any other cakers feel the same or is it just me?

7th Birthday Cake: No Doubt... It's Cake!

A 7th birthday cake for a girl who loves Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt.  I designed this cake with No Doubt's Rock Steady album cover in mind.  Her birthday party was a dance party where they had a dance instructor and were learning all the Gwen Stefani moves.  The birthday girl on top is handmade out of sugarpaste.

Here is a view from the top.  I just love how red, black and red work so well together.

Here's what the cake looked like before it was iced in buttercream and covered in fondant.  This cake was 8 layers of strawberry vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream.
