Last year we had big time Pokemon fans in this house. So of course when my son turned 5 he had to have a Pikachu cake.</div>

I baked the cake in a 9x13 pan and then cut out the shapes I needed for the face and ears. It fit perfect. Then I just used my star tip and covered the cake. It came together pretty quickly.</div>

So when my oldest had his last birthday I was not surprised when he requested a Tardis birthday cake. It was fun and easy to create this cake.<br />

I baked a cake mix in a 9x13 glass pan and covered it in blue frosting. I didn't plan ahead to make sure I had the right shade of Tardis blue. So I wish it was darker, but my son didn't mind. After covering it in blue, I quikly piped some outlines of door and windows and did some writing. Nothing fancy, but lots of fun.</div>

I was asked to do a gender reveal cake. The inside had three pink ombre layers with buttercream frosting. Unfortunately I wasn't there to get pictures of the inside, once it was cut. But I bet it was cute! The family loved it and are very excited.</div>

I spent my summer visiting family out of state and got to celebrate birthday's with families that we usually miss out on. My baby sister turned 27 and I had to make her a pink cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a white cake from a box with a raspberry cream filling that I made up on the spot. The frosting is a butter cream recipe I found on pinterest <a href="http://www.twistmepretty.com/2013/04/boxed-cake-that-tastes-homemade.html">here</a>.</div>

At the last minute I decided to put fresh garden raspberries on top and dusted them with powder sugar.</div>

My Son wanted a Super Mario Brothers cake this summer. I was mixing up the frosting colors after midnight, and that was obviously a mistake. Somehow I got a funky teal color instead of sky blue, but oh well! It was super humid this summer as well, so the frosting was sweating a lot as well. It was still fun. Everything was done with Wilton's Buttercream frosting.</div>

It's Birthday season around here. My son wanted a Baymax cake from Big Hero 6. We love that show. For this body I baked a cake mix in the pampered chef batter bowl. Once the cake was cool I covered it in homemade marshmallow fondant and made the head, arms and legs from fondant as well. It was a really hot and humid day, so the fondant struggled and the gel icing ran for his eyes, but my son loved him and he tasted good!</div>

We also made Baymax cupcakes for his classroom treat. All the kids loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found the idea on pinterest. Using a large round tip I swirled white butter cream onto the tops of our cupcakes. Then placed large marshmallows with Baymax eyes drawn on, on top.</div>

This was a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese filling. All the frosting is butter cream. I did buy a tube of black Wilton frosting from hobby lobby for the black details. </div>

Now that my boys are getting older, I am the cub master for our pack. For our Blue and Gold banquet this year we picked the theme "Everything is Awesome!" from the Lego movie. I used the silicone molds found on amazon for the large lego guy on the main cake. The smaller lego guys are made with the wilton candy melts. Everything else is from cake mixes and my usual butter cream frosting.</div>

I am a mom to 4 boys - so eventually I knew I would be making Star Wars Cakes. #3 wanted a Light Saber for his latest birthday. I make a box Strawberry cake mix in a 13x9 pan and then cut it into thirds the long way. I then lined up the pieces on my board and then froze the cake. A day later I took it out of my deep freezer and carved it into a roundish shape. I used candies for the buttons and the rest is butter cream frosting. Super easy and yummy.</div>

I made this up for my friends baby shower that I threw her. It was Library/Book themed. So everything on the menu was inspired by children's books. I used two shades of green for the frosting. The head was molded out of rice crispy treats and covered in fondant. It was very cute and everyone loved it.</div>

When I went home for Christmas my mom asked me to make a Yule Log cake. The Recipe came from an 80's version of The Lion House Christmas Cookbook. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical, but it ended up tasting amazing. It was like a giant Hostess Ho Ho without all the preservatives. The first picture I took captured the cherries mid escape. The leaves were molded out of a green Airhead taffy.</div>

My oldest son wanted a Toucan cake for his birthday this winter. I couldn't even find anything on Pinterest to copy. This is 100% original. I baked a chocolate cake in a 13x9 pan. I then cut out the pieces and somehow this is what I got. Oldest son was thrilled and it was a lot of fun to create! I bought the pre-tinited Wilton Black frosting. The rest is a new butter cream recipe I tried out that was delicious.</div>

I made this cake for my sister when she came and visited me last summer. I used <a href="http://birdonacake.blogspot.com/2012/07/raspberry-cake-with-dark-chocolate.html">this </a>recipe from Bird on a Cake. It tasted incredible. It was a rasberry cake, with dark chocolate ganache. I topped it with Chocolate covered Raspberries, which were the perfect touch. So yummy! I crave this cake all the time.</div>

My son wanted a Monsters University cake for his bday last summer. I decided to make a Sully Cake using the Wilton grass tip. The eyes are plastic craft googly eyes. The nose is molded out of a starburst candy. The horns are ice cream cones. I tried to heat them up and mold and bend them a little, but that didn't work out too well. My son loved it and still talks about!</div>

My son LOVES Legos and wanted them for his Birthday cake. I found a tutorial at the Betty Crocker website that had the knobs made out of large marshmallows. I baked the cakes in a bread pan instead of cutting a 13x9 up like the site said too. I had to rush the frosting because I got a last minute notice that someone was coming to see our home that was for sale in an hour. I had to rush a bit!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273887481165664873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390328988686316621.post-64261635046683790472012-05-17T17:29:00.000-06:002012-05-17T17:31:42.091-06:00Rosette Wedding Cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Hedwig cake was for our family party. But I also had a friend party a few days later. I wanted simple cupcakes for that.I just swirled butter cream on top of fun-fetti cupcakes. I sprinkled them with yellow cake sparkles. Then with yellow candy melts and melted those and drew out lightning bolts. Then while they were still wet, I sprinkled gold Wilton shimmer dust on to get them to sparkle. Once they were dried I put them on the cupcakes. Very simple and easy!</div>

My oldest son wanted a Harry Potter cake. We decided to do Hedwig, Harry's pet owl. After a lot of internet searches we came up with this:</div>

I used three different cake pans. The base of the cake is an 8 inch round cake. Then the body was baked in my Pampered Chef batter bowl - which is comparable to the Wilton Wonder Mold pan (the one to make barbie cakes). Then the head was baked in an oval pan I got from the 2 Wilton class, in my class kit. I just used a knife to make it kind of bean shaped. I stacked the cakes together, with frosting in the middle and put a dowel down the center. Then I crumb coated it with butter cream. I then used almonds for the face and belly. Cashews for the beak and claws. Peach o's where the eyes with recees pieces in the middle. The ears were white chocolate fudge oreos, cut in half. For the rest of the feathers, I used the Wilton leaf tip (which I do not use to actually make leafs) and piped long feathers layered around the body. End result: a very happy 6 year old!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273887481165664873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390328988686316621.post-65954569790521837682011-09-24T09:12:00.003-06:002011-09-24T09:16:15.753-06:00Cars Cake and Smash Cake<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1T7iE82WyL6PJtHliI3wZLzYIPyWRfhy27pX_P3vLqotFMQxM-L8cT6Xs0StgGCN37Ocpyy69bgAfdu1IFA5ZdGGczvqcDLc4zgZacFG4e92-E36-ORq-Ahb3y0HMUbwlyQgYqpvVdupr/s1600/100_0967.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1T7iE82WyL6PJtHliI3wZLzYIPyWRfhy27pX_P3vLqotFMQxM-L8cT6Xs0StgGCN37Ocpyy69bgAfdu1IFA5ZdGGczvqcDLc4zgZacFG4e92-E36-ORq-Ahb3y0HMUbwlyQgYqpvVdupr/s400/100_0967.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655944695553058434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinFMuM2XibWfXhWvvzr-3-aThlbzOuV32ttoPhBlxcOrqX0qJcf9FCnct_9sqJgE1pv7XUxdzvC3MsBF96jXdvhVCeqcXXbnMowRxzLYlJRkIkmIgj5ahSsaXTN1S1F5wB2vST20IQO42B/s1600/100_0964.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinFMuM2XibWfXhWvvzr-3-aThlbzOuV32ttoPhBlxcOrqX0qJcf9FCnct_9sqJgE1pv7XUxdzvC3MsBF96jXdvhVCeqcXXbnMowRxzLYlJRkIkmIgj5ahSsaXTN1S1F5wB2vST20IQO42B/s400/100_0964.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655944688320892530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYCRScI7W1sGOUDKbPy07pwt85n4hUgl8b0GtDPGqC0zi9Yq2iUsZ0DMK1D1W_V5NJ3hgI-0Wske0m01xgPqzYpj-Pz0mjVqhz_qv_4vW6NsXjQw9USGLVQrb3SCTqeHgliNF6LX8YuKyY/s1600/100_0959.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYCRScI7W1sGOUDKbPy07pwt85n4hUgl8b0GtDPGqC0zi9Yq2iUsZ0DMK1D1W_V5NJ3hgI-0Wske0m01xgPqzYpj-Pz0mjVqhz_qv_4vW6NsXjQw9USGLVQrb3SCTqeHgliNF6LX8YuKyY/s400/100_0959.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655944687109578034" /></a>I got a chance to do another Cars cake last month. I wanted it a little different than the one I already did, but keep it similar since they loved the original. I also got to make a smash cake as it was for a 1 year old. As usual it was chocolate with butter cream.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273887481165664873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390328988686316621.post-23023360511149332142011-07-31T18:45:00.002-06:002011-07-31T18:47:25.457-06:00Black Forest Cupcakes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlRlDLyrQgeENZDCmfxYrERduoq9O77p_jHAyDZEzu0Adewln-vGxSU4zO8zGPCGeZRoFIAElWvgENBsPesanjyFAKX5ea5CJsVHgJtnf6FVouP8MGw6g52njwmQjDHMU6_hLg-PvwNS1f/s1600/100_0857.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlRlDLyrQgeENZDCmfxYrERduoq9O77p_jHAyDZEzu0Adewln-vGxSU4zO8zGPCGeZRoFIAElWvgENBsPesanjyFAKX5ea5CJsVHgJtnf6FVouP8MGw6g52njwmQjDHMU6_hLg-PvwNS1f/s400/100_0857.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635682296015620434" /></a>Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese and cherry filling with cream topping and sliced almonds!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273887481165664873noreply@blogger.com0
