Popcorn Cake

It's time for Popcorn at the Circus



This is a cake and cupcakes done for a birthday party for twins (boy & girl) turning 2! They had a circus theme, so I made the cake to look like a giant bag of popcorn. Definitely a big cake! 6 layers tall!!!



Then we made 1 dozen cupcakes to look like individual servings of popcorn.

Baptism Dress



This is a dress cake made for a good friend's daughter who was getting baptised. The cake is covered in fondant and I attempted to do the trip work all out of royal icing. However, when I started moving the royal icing pieces to the cake they just crumbled into pieces :( Major frustration! I knew they would be delicate, but there was no way. So, I accepted that that idea would work and instead did all of the detail work out of piped buttercream. I used the same design and I used for the royal icing.


Here is a picture of the royal icing lace I made that crumbled :( (Before it crumbled)

MMA Cake


This is a cake for an LDS missionary who was going home after completing his mission in our area. Before serving his mission he was a multi-black belt MMA fighter! The cake was a 1/2 sheet frosted in buttercream frosting. All of the figures and the and the ring are made out of fondant. I used wooden dowels and skewers to keep the form.

In the center of the ring I made a replica of the Fresno California Mission symbol.


The lady who ordered the cake wanted the fighters to be the missionary before he went on his mission and then him going home from his mission!

Happy Turkey Day

I saw a picture online of a cake made to look like a turkey and I had to try it out! I made a 1/4 sheetcake and stacked it 4 tall. I tried to carve the shape of the turkey with a knife. I used fondant to mold the legs and wings and then frosted it all with buttercream tinted light brown. I then sprayed the entire cake with orange and yellow to give it the toasted look. I used some of the cake I had carved off and cut it into little chunks and put at the "open" end of the turkey to look like stuffing. It was definitely a hit at Thanksgiving. Most people thought it was another turkey :)
