The Other Burrito Cake

This one was fun because I got to make more fondant food! My favorite! I just love replicating the olives and lettuce and tomato. The best part is the realistic tortilla. Thank you Mr. Airbrush! All in all, this burrito came great!

The Princess Jasmine Cake

I had so much fun making this one! Super girly! Who doesn't love princesses?! This was my first time being able to use sugar gems. They really added a little pizzaz and were fun to work with. Jasmine was a challenge, but I think she came out pretty great. I didn't realize until later that I forgot her giant gold earrings. I got them on there before delivery but didn't get any new pics. Hopefully the client will send me a few over. Either way, I love the way this one came out.

The Happy Meal Cake

This cake was for a special little girl. I am a nanny during the day for two girls and the younger one, who was turning eight, has been talking about this cake all year. She knew exactly what she wanted! Her favorite meal! She gets a happy meal every Wednesday. So I had to pull it off! The best part was making the burger (just a rice cereal patty, airbrushed...perfect meat consistency.) I also had a blast doing the french fries! The wrapper was fun to make, but shaping the fries, a bit of airbrush and crushed sugar (salt), they looked perfect! She absolutely loved it! Happy 8th birthday Kylie Koo!

The Hunny Pot Cake

Well, my best friend had to have a California baby shower! Since I was co-hosting this one with her fabulous step mom, Julie...I wanted to go all out. After doing the more traditional tiered Winnie the Pooh cake for her Vegas shower, I definitely knew I wanted to do a carved cake for this one. But I had to incorporate two elements, so I could have some gluten free cake and some regular cake. I decided to do a giant honey pot with cupcakes that had little bees on them. Half way through....it was missing something. It needed Pooh....but how to incorporate him? That is how we came up with him falling into the honey, just his butt showing...put a little bee on top and....tah dah! It was a smash hit and got raving reviews! I was so happy I could do something extra special for my very best friend, Lindsay and her husband Simon and of course...baby Ava Jai!

The Girly Beach Cake

I had a blast working on this one. Since it was for my niece's 12th birthday beach party, I got free license to do pretty much whatever I wanted. Knowing how girly Sammi Lynn is, and how obsessed most 12 year olds are about Taylor Lautner, leopard print and hot pink, I kew exactly what I wanted to do! This one was all me and I enjoyed every minute! The details...as always...were my favorite. The "Team Jacob" magazines, the sunscreen and most importantly, the old school boom box, were so much fun to make! Even the little handmade shell details came out perfectly. Happy Birthday Sam!

The Jumbo Donut Cake

We have made donut cakes before and they are always a hit. But they have only been made as part of a whole cake. This classic donut was made as the cake itself. They are so much fun to make and gets a smile out of just about anyone! That got us thinking...what a unique idea! We should sell these packaged, ready to go. They would be great for office birthdays, potlucks, birthday dinners. They are great for kids, your parents, your boss, your dentist, his secretary.... They are universally good, all around! So, as a FunCakes first, we are offering the JumboDonut Mini Cake at a super low rate of $48 each. Place your order today!

The Pug Cake

First of all...animal cake are fast becoming my favorites to do. They are just so much fun and end up having their own little personalities. Like Elton the Pug here....I love how shifty he turned out, like he just did something wrong...a bit mischievous, even! We usually just do frosting for the animal cakes. Since they have fur, this mimics it perfectly. However, pugs are very short haired....what to do?! So we covered him with fondant, but then he is too smooth....the solution? I painted on a thin layer of frosting over the fondant and tapped it, it give it a short spiky texture. Then we airbrushed the whole thing. Turned out great! Some say..even a little scary, but I think that is a good thing!
