Girls' Superhero Cake

My daughter loves her superheros and has been talking about her birthday cake for the longest time.  She told me exactly what she wanted: A super tall cake (she wanted a 3-tier), superhero girls on the top and villains on the bottom.

 I wonder what she will design for her cake next year!

4th Birthday Cake: Superhero Cake

There is a wonderful non-profit organization called Icing Smiles which provide custom cakes to families affected by critical illness.  Their goal is to create a custom cake for the ill child, or their sibling, that provides a temporary escape from worry and creates a positive memory during a difficult time.  Volunteer "Sugar Angels" are matched up with the families across the country to deliver a "Smile" in the form of a custom cake.

I was honoured to be a sugar angel for Frankie, currently battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), who turned 4.   He is a true little superhero!

Please help if you can:  The US Icing Smiles has been around for over 4 years and has delivered over 5000+ custom cakes.  In Canada, they have been around for over 1 year and unfortunately are in danger of losing their charity status.  We have 1 more week to raise enough funds to keep this going - please help if you can - every little bit helps.

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!
