2013 Fondant Cakes!!

Since our first Easter Cake was such a success we have been making cakes for every birthday since!
Bradley's First Birthday Cake:
He LOVES cars so I knew I wanted to make him a car themed cake. I had this idea of making the road wrap around from the bottom layer to the top, it came out like I have planned! :) Then I did the bottom checkered to look like the racing checkered flags. I attempted to make the grassy hills look textured, it's hard to tell but they have a zig zag imprint on them.

 
Bradley LOVED his birthday cake!! (and at 1, you can't fake happiness! every smile is a genuine!)
 
 

 All the kids with the Birthday Boy!!
 
 
Yummy Cake!!
 



A few days later was my husbands 28th Birthday, He had drill the weekend of his birthday so I thought I would make him a Navy Cake. I feel like I went way too simple with this one, but finding time to make a cake with 4 kids home is hard! So this is what it turned out as:
Next time I make any type of hat I will use a rounded mold, but the sailor hat still came out pretty good!
Happy Birthday James!! ♥

Helping Daddy blow out the candles! lol

Zackary wanted to dump Dads head in his cake!! Daddy was a good sport!


Next we had Zackary's 8th Birthday!! He LOVES Skylanders!! He asked for a Skylander cake so I started to invision what I could do! I knew I had to have the 'portal on top and I knew I needed to incorporate the element symbols onto it also.
This is my first 3 layer cake also! Here it is, I finished it just minutes before his party started!!

Still being a newbie at this cake stuff, but I think it came out great!!

MY BIRTHDAY!!
Personally, I don't like the taste/texture of fondant so I wanted a buttercream frosting cake. My husband made this one for me: (yes, my husband can also make cakes!)
 
This was his first time doing piping.

 
He was pretty proud of himself! haha, I am too!! :)
 


The girls picked out the butterflies for the cake!




My friend Heather asked me to show her how to make fondant. She was hosting a BBQ for a friends birthday and wanted to make her a boise state football cake also. This is the cake she made: (I think Im a pretty good teacher cuz it looks really good!) lol




These cupcakes are amazing!! Chocolate Cupcake with Peanut butter Frosting and shaved dark chocolate! The frosting is just 1 cup peanut butter mixed into a homemade buttercream frosting.

 
 
 
 
I offered to make a birthday cake for my friend Kelly's daughter. She was having a Minnie Mouse themed party so I made little Gemma this cake. I definitely need work on bows...






And then it was my baby girl Audrey's Birthday!! She is 5 and wanted to have a littlest pet shop themed party!
 
So Im pretty sure this is my best cake yet! It cake out so cute!!
