Tinkerbell Cake

Tinkerbell Birthday Cake

Dave was a HUGE fan of this cake! I think he was the most excited about it once he saw how it turned out, which really shouldn't surprise me with his love for all things Disney! :)


I used the Barbie cake pan from Wilton and used an actual Tinkerbell Barbie doll (found at Target) instread of the half dolls included with the pan or that you can buy at the craft store for these kinds of cakes. That way the birthday girl was able to keep her full length Tink as a birthday gift from the cake lady!  

Butterfly Cake

Butterfly Birthday Cake

My first butterfly cake and I think only my second time trying my hands at carving!


For this cake I printed off a coloring page from on-line and re-traced it on wax paper to fit the size of the cake I had. I cute out the butterfly and laid it on top of the cake so I would carve around the outside for the shape. After I peeled off the wax paper, I just used a knife to outline the design of the butterflies wings on the cakes and used different colored buttercream frosting to fill in.

I wish I would have outlines the entire butterfly's wings in the black to define them better in the picture.

The birthday girl requested pastel pink, purple and yellow for her butterfly.

Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear Cake for a 2nd birthday.

I got to make Peyton's first birthday cake last year, seen here, so I feel privilaged to get to make his second cake this year!


This is a 2-layer vanilla cake with a chocolate mousse filling and a chocolate buttercream frosting, covered in marshmallow fondant.


I made the wings out of cardboard then covered then in fondant, so they aren't fully eidable!
