Thomas the Train

April 17, 2011

This "Thomas the Train" cake was made for a little boy's 2nd birthday party held at Wheeling Park playground. It was requested that the cake be mostly buttercream with minimal fondant decorations, so only Thomas' face is fondant in order to truly capture his character...accompanied by Thomas and train track cupcakes. =)

Under the Sea Cake

April 9, 2011
I really enjoyed making this cake for my niece's 4th birthday. "The Little Mermaid" was always one of my favorite Disney movies growing up. I remember seeing it in the theater and loving the "Under the Sea" scene for all of its vibrant colors & excitement. I was six at the time, so it must have made a big impression. With this cake, I was hoping to recreate that feeling as much as possible and ended up pretty pleased with the final result. =)

Crazy Daisies!

April 2, 2011
This cake was made for my friend's bridal shower, and you guessed it, the theme was "Crazy Daisies." The colors of the flowers for this cake were really beautiful and perfect for a spring time shower. To make sure we had enough cake for everyone in attendance, I made matching cupcakes with baby daisies. =)
