The Penguin Party Cake





We got an order for another penguin cake. But this time we got to do a little penguin kegger. This cake is for a major hockey fan who also happens to love penguins. His favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins...of course! I had a blast making all the details, especially the bbq. I really enjoy working on cakes like this and I thought it came out adorably!

The Unicorn Cake



We made this sparkly Unicorn for the Love Show (loveshow2.blogspot.com)
He was a success! Everyone said he tasted delicious. He was certainly a challenge. But I just love how the airbrushing turned out.

The 50th Anniversary Cake



This was such a fun cake to make. It was for a cute couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They are New Yorkers who like to golf. My favorite part was the skyline. Each tier was a different flavor, my first time doing a variety. I am so pleased with how this one turned out!

I made this little cake for my sister's 17th birthday get-away to Big Bear. She really loves penguins and her school colors are green and gold. She loved it!

The Topsy Turvy Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum Cake




Something a little more traditional this time. We have never really done a simple tiered cake before and we have never attempted a topsy turvy cake before. I have also never made little figurines out of gum paste. New challenges! We rose to them gladly! It was a fun cake to make and we think it came out pretty great. I made the tweedles one night and had so much fun paying attention to the little details, like their little hats and bow ties. This cake was a surprise for a super cute girl, Paige's 23rd birthday and when we delivered it, she was very excited and surprised!

The Elvis Aaron Presley Cake






The Elvis cake we made for our friend Jackie's birthday this past weekend was quite a challenge! It was our hardest cake thus far. Half way through we were feeling skeptical that we could pull this cake off...but somehow we finished him and we were pleased with our portrayal of fat Elvis.
