Strawberry Shortcake

Berry Delicious!!!

As most people know I love SBSC so when I got the chance for a little sweetheart of mine I when all out. This cake took alot of time but mostly because my hubby turned on the undercabinet lighting one night and completely melted my sculptures by accident. So start again...SBSC, Puptart (puppy), Custard (cat) and berries are all moldeling chocolate. It was a challenge as time is a factor when sculpting with chocolate. The heat from my hands would often ruin the intricate details ie.details on shirt. Lots of running them under cold water. Flowers and leaves are marshmallow fondant. This cake was white and pink vanilla layers in both tiers with lightly flavored Strawberry Buttercream. I didn't leave much space for a candles...oops. I'm glad they had to cut this cake and not me!!

Super Mario themed party

The biggest 1-up mushroom you'll ever see.

Chocolate or Shoes?

Now she doesn't have to choose!

This was the biggest cake I had made to date (14" and 6"). It was for a very special person with an even bigger heart. She loves animal prints and her girl friends wanted to go with the fashion theme. The fondant was a good challenge with size and animal prints. The shoe is hand sculpted out of chocolate with piped on black swirls. It was only later I found you can buy a shoe making kit for cakes on line - only $79.99. Wheres the challenge in that? I ribbon wrapped the bases and off it went for a 3 hour car ride to the party. So far the furthest traveled cake I've made. I'm thankful a girlfriend at the party got the reveal on camera. Moments like that make it all worth it. Here's to another great Year Alma- Love you lots !
