Sloth Cake and cupcakes

I decorated this cake for my oldest daughter's 6th birthday. It is an 8 inch chocolate cake decorated with chocolate buttercream icing and fondant accents. The cupcakes are decorated with a combination of regular buttercream and chocolate buttercream.

Volcano

I made this cake for my oldest son's 6th birthday. There is a tube inside the volcano to hold the dry ice for the smoky effect, otherwise everything is edible. I used a wide variety of cookies, sprinkles, and dessert toppings to decorate the cake and board. The dinosaurs are made from fondant.

Pirate Ship

I made this ship for my son's 3rd birthday. It's a homemade funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream icing covered in Satin Ice chocolate fondant. The decorations are fondant or royal icing. Everything is edible except for the wooden mast.

Thor's Hammer

I made this for my husband's birthday. He's a big superhero fan and was excited about this cake. It is all edible with the exception of a few support dowel rods.

campfire

I made this cake for my husband and son when I thought they were missing their father-son camp-out. I thought I'd give them the next best thing to a real camp fire- a cake that looks like one.

 

The cake is a chocolate roll with whipped cream filling covered in ganache. The flames are hard candy.

tool box

I made this for my son's second birthday. When my brother arrived at the party and began looking for a place to put his coat, he, for some reason, went as far as my kitchen pantry and set it on top of this cake thinking it was actually a toolbox.

 This cake was inspired by Reese cups -peanut butter cake and filling, with a milk chocolate ganache. The actual box and tools are rice crispies covered in fondant.
