This is How Collin Decorates a Cake

I had leftover cake and icing from an order and this is what Collin does with it!!

'NUF SAID!!!

Collin's 6th Birthday!!

I'm finally getting around to blogging Collin's Birthday!!


On the day before Collin's real birthday, Kami gave him a separate party for just kids that he wanted to invite. Collin is so much into Pokemon right now that both birthday parties that he had were centered around that theme.

These are the Pokemon Ball cookies that Kami made. Cute huh?!!

Kami also made cake balls in the shape of Pikachu and Jiggly Puff! I think they turned out really fun!!

Collin and Carlee had to have a Pikachu stuffed toy!! That's Carlee's favorite!

The next day (Collin's real B-Day) we had a party for the family. Collin requested that we have pizza. We made homemade pizza, but forgot to take pictures of it. They were really good!!

Collin also wanted a Pokemon Ball cake, so this is what I came up with. It's not real great, but Collin loved it and my father-in-law thought it was a table decoration!! Ha ha!!

The flavors are lemonade cake with lemon filling and vanilla buttercream. The huge Pokemon Ball was made with chocolate and had a small toy from Carlee hidden in the center. That was really hard to make!! The Pokemon Balls and lightning are chocolate transfers. those were easy!!

We had to remove the large Pokemon Ball because it was too heavy for the cake and was making it go lopsided!! So there is a candle up there now.

Time to break open the ball!!! It was tougher then we thought it would be!! Took quite a few whacks!! Collin thought it was lots of fun though.

Afterward we ate cake, opened presents and played games!! WE had a great family get-together!!

Lastest Cakes

I know these aren't fantastical, but I'll show them anyway.

This was a surprise cake for my friend!

A cake for my friend's father.

A cake for a wedding open house.

Cake was for a friends mom.

I do have some competition cakes coming up, but can't post anything until after the show, which is September 5th. I hope I get everything done that I want to do!!

Princess Haley Cake

This cake was for a little girl who was turning 1. The crown and bows are marshmallow fondant with some gumpaste powder mixed in to help with the drying. I am always nervous about this Las Vegas heat and what it will do to the cakes. The party was fun with lots of food and the birthday girl was so cute. She was terrified of the balloons and mystified about what to do with the candles.

Baby Boy Shower Cake

I made this cake for a customer who was throwing a shower for a family member. The baby boy is coming out like a gift and the booties are little Converse. The decorations are marshmallow fondant with some gumpaste powder mixed in to help it dry. The heat in the summer make fondant a little tricky. The cake is white with fresh strawberries and a strawberry gel filling and is covered in whipped cream frosting.
