Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays!

I do a lot of birthday cakes for kids' birthday parties.  They range from fun to elegant and everything in between.  It is fun to see all of the different themes that people come up with!

 

 

The next 2 cakes have an aquarium/sea theme.  The 1st cake on was for a party at the Houston Aquarium.  The mermaid cake has the smash cake as the "top tier".

 For 1st birthdays I will include a smash cake if it is requested.  Main cake shown below with the smash cake.

 

 



I am starting to think that the Houston Zoo does a lot of parties....

...because I sure seem to do a lot of zoo cakes! I made this cake for a 4th birthday party that was held at the zoo. The daughter of some friends of ours turned 4, so we enjoyed the party as well!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Well Lions and Dragons and Dora, anyway! This will be my only post for the rest of April. I have 2 great friends from Chicago coming to town next weekend and there will be no time for cakes.

This cake was for a 2nd birthday party that was held at the zoo. The party invitations were zebra print with a pink border, so I used that same patter/color for the cake.

Cake for a Dora the Explorer 2nd birthday party:

Sports themed cake for a 2nd birthday party. The balls, gloves, jerseys and hats are all molded chocolate.

Fun birthday cake. I love the colors of this one!



1st birthday cake for a knight themed party.


Have a great day and I will be back in May!!!

So many updates!

I admit it, I am terrible at updating this blog! Can I use the excuse that I have just been doing so many cakes that I just can't find the time? =)

Cupcakes arranged to look like the Very Hungry Caterpillar

We had some great friends in town for another friend's wedding. Their son turned 5 while they were staying with us, so I made a Batman cake for him. I used the Cricut to cut out the Batman logo. They are coming out with a Cricut Cake in about 6 weeks....I can't wait!

Josh's daughter Isabelle turned 8 last week. Her cake request was for zebra stripes and roses. I wasn't sure how that would look, but it turned out pretty well!

I made 2 cakes with a Mickey Mouse theme on consecutive weekends. Each is a little different. This one has a half ball that was made into the actual Mickey hat.

This cake was for a friend's baby shower. It was inspired by the baby's bedding.

This one is Mickey cake #2. The bow was made out of gumpaste.

Football theme for a 1st birthday cake.

Finally for this entry, the cake below was for a baby shower with a Candy Land theme. The suckers and teddy bear are made out of fondant, and the rest of the candy decorations are real candy.

Look for more updates in April!!

Birthday Cakes!

This cake was for a 2nd birthday party. The cakes are iced in buttercream and have fondant decorations. The "2" is fondant as well, with a birthday candle attached to the back.

29th birthday cake. It is iced in buttercream and decorated with fondant zebra stripes.

1st birthday cake that was made to match the invitation. Buttercream icing with fondant decorations.

This was also for a 1st birthday. The plates, napkins, invitations, etc all had a cupcake theme. You can see the napkin next to the cake.
