Minnie Mouse

This is the second Minnie Mouse cake I’ve made. When I made the original cake I kind of went crazy on the whole Ebay Minnie Mouse purchases. So I ended up with TONS of Minnie’s, most of which arrived after the birthday party. So this cake was fun to recreate using some of the new ones and some of the duplicates. The best part of this cake, that was missing on the first one—the Minnie Topper! I think she’s AWESOME!

Elmo Cake

This cake is based on Elmo’s World.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s a world that Elmo has created with crayons, hence the squiggly lines.  This cake was for a child’s first birthday, and normally I wouldn’t make a 3 tier cake for this, but what made this cake fun was that after the Happy Birthday’s were sung, the top tier turns into the baby’s smash cake.

Poker Cake

The poker cake was for a surprise 30th birthday. It in no way, shape or form matches the image I had for it in my head! But…with every hobby shop within a 30 mile radius being out hexagon shaped pans…and me not being able to hand pipe decent playing cards…this is the best it gets!

You will notice as you scroll through most of my cakes, I avoid “writing” on cakes. It’s not that I can’t do it…I just don’t think I do it well. That is one area I need to just sit and practice……piping handwriting!
