Jordan's cake

This first cake of the weekend was made for one of the cutest girls I know!

She's a big Jonas brother's fan so I combined the design of a two tiered cake that she and her momma liked and came up with this! It's all chocolate with vanilla buttercream and fondant decorations. I printed the picture off myself and attached it to a piece of foam board for the final touch!

With the picture:



Without!




I'll post the picture of our other major project this weekend as soon as it's picked up tomorrow! Wouldn't want to give it away just yet!

Ramona's book cake



This cake was made for my MIL, Ramona, for her 60th birthday!

My FIL decide to throw her a huge surprise party (or have us throw her, rather) and we took on the task of making her this giant cake! She has her master's in library sciences and works for the Hurst Public Library so the book theme seemed natural. I had been wanting to make her a book cake for a while and this was the perfect opportunity!

The books separately.


The Better Homes & Garden/Bible/open book are real (chocolate and lemon), the reference and Cake Doctor books are dummies. (open book is vanilla)

Stacked:





This cake turned out exactly how I wanted it to! It was LABOR intensive - we worked on it every day for a week, staying up until 4 am or later some nights but it was definitely worth it!!

Sofia's Princess Castle



This cake was made for one of Rylee's BFF's, Sofia. Sofia had her birthday party at pretty cool place called, Let's Pretend in Grapevine. (owned by one of my students mom!)

We based this design on a cake that I found on Cake Central - it's an 8 inch chocolate cake (two layers). The pillars are made from PVC, wrapped in fondant. The tops of the pillars are obviously sugar cones - decorated with junior mints. The cake is iced in vanilla buttercream. All of the other details (flowers, doors) are fondant except for the strawberry creme kisses on top of the castle!

Just the castle:



The doll is a cupcake with a Wilton mini doll pick and fondant skirt. Pretty simple but I love the way it turned out!



Fun Fun cake! Happy Birthday Sofia!
