Another Lightning McQueen Cake!

 

It seems that Lightning McQueen is a favorite at birthday parties nowadays.  This cake was made with 6 and 9 inch square chocolate cakes, each with two 2-inch layers.  Iced and filled with chocolate buttercream and then covered with fondant.  The decorations are all made from fondant.

The Lightning McQueen cake on top was carved from a 9-inch square cake, iced with chocolate buttercream and then decorated with fondant.

Happy 2nd Birthday Lorenzo!

Owl and Candy Cake

 

A friend showed me a picture of a cake she wanted for her baby's 1st birthday.  Hopefully I was able to do the original cake justice with this one.  It's made from 6 and 9 inch chocolate cakes, each with two 2-inch layers.  It was iced and filled with chocolate buttercream and then covered with fondant.  All the decorations with the exception of the pink and green ribbon on the bottom tier were made from fondant.

Happy 1st Birthday Jaedyn!

Lightning McQueen

 

A Lightning McQueen cake for the Cars lover.

I'm getting more and more confident in making carved cakes and I'm quite happy with how my Lightning McQueen turned out.  The cake was carved from a 9x13 and a 9-inch square cake on top, filled and iced with chocolate buttercream.  All details and decorations are made from fondant.

Happy 4th Birthday Carl!

Wii!

 

My husband loves playing video games so I made a Wii cake for his birthday.  The cake was made from a two-inch 9x13 chocolate cake, cut and stacked to size then filled and iced with chocolate buttercream.  The Wii should have been thinner but I wanted to make sure it doesn't fall over to its side.  The controllers are made from a single layer of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream then covered with fondant.  Details and decorations made with fondant.

Happy Birthday Honey!

Happy Birthday Caitlin!

Wheels on the Bus!

 

My dear baby boy is now 2!  Before turning 2, he fell in love with the Wheels on the Bus song.  He even knows all the actions to the song and I'm sure that if he can talk already, he'd know the words to it as well.  So for his birthday party, I decided to go with that theme and made him a bus cake.

The cake was made from 3 layers of 2-inch 9x13 chocolate cake.  It was filled and iced with chocolate buttercream.  It was covered and decorated with fondant.

Happy 2nd Birthday dear Matthew!

Chicago Cake

 

It was Sharon's birthday and her loving hubby wanted a special cake for her with things that she loves and some things that she wants.  This cake features the Chicago Skyline, a Jeep, Lomography Diana+ Aviator Camera, and the church she's a part of.

The cake was made with 9-inch and 6-inch round cakes.  Each tier made with 2 two-inch layers of chocolate cake with chocolate filling and icing.  Both tiers covered and decorated with fondant.  Everything on the cake is made out of fondant.

Happy Birthday Sharon!
