Cars cake


Right out of Radiator Springs!!





And egg free too! that was the hard part! I got it in the end with the bottom being chocolate chocolate chip with vanilla buttercream and the top vanilla with chocolate chip buttercream icing. Both tiers are covered in airbrushed marshmallow fondant. I had to make my own stencil for the racing flag, but it worked out great. The pylons are modeling chocolate. The logo, Mater and Lightening Mcqueen are all fondant with some airbrushing on Mater for rust. My friend who ordered this is a dentist so I had fun exaggerating Maters overjet. I even made a few sets of tires for the adults. They were choc. dipped mini oreos. It was so special to make Connor a REAL egg free cake instead of another ice cream cake.

Cheesecake

My husband loves cheese so he got a cheesecake for his birthday.

Would you believe he doesn't like desserts though?? So he never had a bite. Don't worry I ate his piece. It was coconut flavoured cake Pina Colada Buttercream....Yummers!!!! This cake will always make me smile because my 5 year old son had to keep it a secret for 3 months until we made it. He was ready to pop by Nov. 14 - Happy Birthday Dad!

Monster pops for Halloween

For the school kids.


These were for my two boys to take for there Halloween Parties. Our madness behind monsters was that they could scare away the "sugar bugs". They also co-ordinated with the labels on the toothbrushes they gave to each class mate. Yes I'm in dental. These are upside down mini cupcakes held on the coloured popsicle stick by melted choc. and then iced with grass tip. The eyes and mouth are fondant. I made a teacher version that was a double high cupcake. My wrist was shot after piping 50 of these....worth it though. The monster were obvious too friendly as my boys both had cavities in November :(
