UF Gators cake

This was a University of Florida Gators cake made for a fan for their birthday. Again everything was done with vanilla frosting tinted to what color needed. The design was hand drawn out before making the cake and then transfered. This cake feeds around 20 people


Spongebob and Patrick

This was a Spongebob cake made with a Spongebob cake pan. And then decorated with vanilla icing.
 This Patrick Star cake was made for the same birthday party so that they would not run out of cake. Patrick was hand drawn out first and then transfered to the cake.
The Spongebob cake fed around 20-25 people and the Patrick Star cake fed around 10-15 people.

Disney Character Cakes

All of these 3 cakes were actually made for the same family and their respective birthdays.
They are all from Disney. All of these cakes were hand drawn out first and modified to add some sort of personal touch for the birthdays.
 
This cake is Lightning McQueen, from the movie "Cars". Instead of having the logo Rusteez that's usually on the front of Lightning McQueen's car, I changed it to the birthday boys name, Anthony.
 
This is one of the seven dwarfs from the movie  "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs", his name is Dopey. He has been the birthday girl's favorite dwarf since she was a little girl. She was turning 32 so that is why on the heart that he is pointing to I put the number 32 on it.
 
This Minnie Mouse cake was made for a 6 year old's birthday party. Her favorite colors were pink and purple so that's why I made Minnie's outfit pink and the stars around her purple.
All of these cakes were covered and decorated with vanilla frosting tinted to their respective colors. There was no fondant used in any of these cakes.
Each of these cakes were the same size and would feed around 25-30 people. 

Angry Birds Cake

This angry birds cake was done for a 9 yr old's birthday party. His name is Anthony but he goes by the nickname "Ant", so that's why I made the area that the birds would go after to look like his nickname. Everything on the cake was made of fondant. The "Ant" and slingshot were all made out of Rice Krispie Treats and covered with fondant. I really try to make everything that I use to be edible in case a little child gets ahold of something and decides to eat it, it's okay because it's all edible.
 
This is a closer look of "Ant" and the pigs that were made for the for the cake.

And here is a closer look of the birds that I made.
This cake fed around 30-40 people.

1st Birthday Monster Cake and Smash Cake

These 2 monster cakes were made for a little boy's first birthday. His mom emailed me some of the ideas that she liked and we tweaked them to what she wanted. Each tier of this cake was a different flavor- yellow, vanilla, and chocolate. All 3 were were iced with colored buttercream icing. The monster features were done in fondant. This cake feeds around 40-50 people.

And this was the smash cake also done for the same party. Smash cakes seem to pretty popular to order for first birthdays for the little ones to have their own cake to do their own amount of damage to. This cake again was covered with buttercream icing colored orange. And the eyes were made of vanilla cake and covered with fondant. 

cross stitch cake

This cross stitch birthday cake was made all out of fondant, with the exception of the stitches and needle. Those were done in vanila icing. The brown border on it to reflect the stitching hoop was also done in fondant. The shades of frosting can be changed to your preferences. Different shades of red were used because it was the birthday girl's favorite color :-)

Even if I haven't done a cake like the one you may want I am always up for a new challenge. I work with a lot butter cream and royal icing and also work with fondant, I give the option of buttercream flavored or marshmallow flavored fondant.  And since I have little kiddos of my own I Really really try to make sure that as much as possible is edible so that way if a little one steals something off a cake the parents dont have to worry. That is a complete preference call on your order. Your cake wish is my command :-) Contact me for pricing for any upcoming parties you may need a personal one of a kind cake for.
