Minnie Mouse Birthday

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!  

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!

Princess Aurora

I love trying new things and being tested with my baking skills, especially since I'm still very new at this and have so much to still learn when it comes to cake decorating.

Last week I got a call for a Princess birthday cake in which my customer wanted to order as a sheet cake. The birthday girl really wanted Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty but they were having trouble finding anyone who could do a Disney princess so they would settle for any princess. I of course did not want to disappoint a little birthday girl so I looked for ideas on-line and found a new technique to try out called Frozen Buttercream Transfer.

I found this great YouTube video found here that gave a really good tutorial. Basically all you need is a printed out image such as a coloring page at the size you need, wax paper, a cookie sheet, tape, and prepared buttercream in all the colors you need. First outline the image then start filling in practically like a paint by number. I froze mine for 24 hours before transferring onto my prepared sheet cake, peel off the wax paper and the pipe a boarder about the image since it's a bit thick.

And this is what I got!

Birthday girl Brynn was so surprised she actually got Princess Aurora on her cake!!

Jackson's 1st Birthday

I had the honor in making our close friends, Chad and Kelsey's son Jackson's 1st birthday smash cake and cupcakes.

 With a Mickey Mouse theme in a blue and white color scheme.  

Cupcakes: Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Chocolate-Chocolate Chip with Chocolate Cream Cheese topped with marshmallow fondant Mickey Mouse and "2's".

Happy 1st Birthday Jackson Jones!

Mickey Mouse

M-I-C-K-E-Y--M-O-U-S-E

Tonight I made my first word of mouth cake! One of my good friends referred one of her friends/co-workers to me as she wanted a Mickey Mouse cake for her son's 3rd birthday but all places she went to such as HyVee would only make her a Mickey and friends cake. Michael's and Hobby Lobby do sell a Mickey cake pan but I figured I would be able to figure it out on my own and save the money....I think I got it ;)

This is one cake batter recipe for a white vanilla cake, I used two 9" cake pans and 2 ramekins. I made a double batch of vanilla buttercream which I kept a very small amount white for the eyes and tinted half black and half ivory. I used a red gel for the mouth. It came together in no time and was even easier than I thought it would be.

Happy 3rd Birthday Bodie! I hope you like your cake.
