6th Birthday: Angry Birds Star Wars Cake

It's that time of year when my nephew's birthday rolls around.  I love to see his expression when he sees his cake.  For the first two birthdays, I was able to design whatever I wanted from his favorite things.  Then for his new few birthdays, he would tell me what he wanted.  For the latest birthday, he actually drew me a picture of the Angry Birds Star Wars cake that he wanted.

 That was a fun cake to make, although he did mention that I made a few mistakes on the characters that he drew, ooops!  But he still loved it!  :-)

Here's a review of his past birthdays!  I'm excited to see what his 7th birthday brings.

• 1st birthday Heffalump cake 
• 2nd birthday Tractor cake
• 3rd birthday Crane cake
• 4th birthday Stegosaurus cake
• 5th birthday Transformers cake

Gold Medal Cake

I'm sure we all enjoyed the spirit of the Winter Olympics, so you will definitely like this cake!  A gold medal cake to celebrate a 40 year wedding anniversary.

Transformers Cake

I had a lot of fun with this cake!  My client ordered a 2-tier transformer's theme cake and I surprised her with a full 3D Optimus Prime.  I love surprising people and the birthday boy loved it too!

A New Year's Wish...

Happy New Year to everyone!  As you reflect on 2013, I hope you see more high points that balance out the low points.  I hope you see all the wonderful learnings that balance out the mistakes and unfortune.  I hope you see more smiles on yourself then sadness.  I hope you see more happiness that you brought to others, then no feelings.  I wish you a 2014 that makes up for any of it.

btw - I should mention that the above is inspired by some viral story shared on facebook, but those are my own words.  :-)

Cutest Baby Shower Cake

I couldn't be more excited to share this beautiful baby shower cake design.  I fell in love with every part of it.  

For the cake topper, I was inspired by this etsy print that I had pinned a long time ago as I knew it would be great inspiration for a cake.  I love Pinterest for that!

The mom-to-be loved the cake and she is saving all the handmade sugarpaste decorations for a shadow box to hang in the babies room.  How wonderful!

Paris-themed Cake n' Cupcakes

Here's a fun cupcake tower for a 50th birthday Paris-themed party.  It was a whole lot of fun.... and a little stressful at times to make the royal icing Eiffel tower.  I forgot to take a photo of it, but I also had a 2D back-up Eiffel tower in case this topper didn't work out. :-)

 

Thank you to the Sugar Duchess for this amazing and accurate tutorial help me make the topper.
