Evelynn's 3rd Birthday!!

My little girl is turning three, so as a treat, I wanted to make her cake of course! :) Since cutting cakes is a hassle to me, I decided on a normal sized cake shaped for her theme (Doc Mcstuffins!) and cupcakes for easy picking and eating for guests. Let's just jump right into it! 


The cupcakes were milk chocolate ones and the cake is, of course, birthday cake flavor. Yes, it is 9:14 PM as I am baking. Love to wait until the last minute. I did make the fondant the night before though! 


The cake out of the pan and the cupcakes all nice and purty (note to self: don't stack milk chocolate cupcakes on each other, they stick!)


The new (and cheap!) cupcake platter I bought :) Set up the cupcakes to see how many I needed to decorate (had four extra I think, three after Eevee ate one.)


Getting everything ready... so much stuff... No, I didn't use all of this, but I take everything out in case I am hit with inspiration! 


Cupcakes frosted and decorated :) The bottom tier, I used an edible blue food coloring spray. The middle tier is simply sprinkled with small crystal pink sprinkles and the top tier is colorful sprinkles shaped like flowers and butterflies with a blue marble-like candy ball. 


The cake after it has been shaped (cut into two pieces, the purse part and the handle for easy frosting and covering) and fondant added. Lots of powder sugar! 


After a nice glossy shine from water and the added detail of Doc Mcstuffins trademark logo, I added the pink crystal sprinkles to the pink part. 


The stethoscope was made from a spare cupcake, fondant and two grape Twizzlers.


With the blue fondant (Eevee's favorite color), I used cookie cutters for the lettering. 


Next to the cupcakes, don't it look lovely? :)


Time to add the candles... used fondant below the candles to keep them standing up and without pushing them straight through the fondant. 


I had fun making this one since it was for my special little girl :) I wish I could've added a picture of Evelynn when she woke up in the morning and saw it, but sadly, I forgot to take a picture. Either way, Happy Birthday to my little angel! 

Thank you for reading this! Until next time!

EPIC KIRBY CAKE!!

Image
You read it, and it's exactly as it sounds. An epic Kirby cake. Strawberry cake mix, strawberry frosting, pink colored fondant and GO! Adventure begins at 7:30... ish... Bruins game was on... distracted a bit. They won at least, probably in anticipation of this awesome cake - probably not.  Amazing silicon 9" pan, sprayed down with cooking spray and filled with the most delicious smelling cake mix ever...  BCD trimmed down the sides after the cake was done baking - going for an eagle's eye view. Frosted with strawberry frosting and placed in the fridge. Not the prettiest thing in the world... but look at how much room I made in the fridge!!  These next few pictures are of us shaping the second strawberry cake into Kirby's limbs - I did the hands while BCD worked on the feet. Let's just say.. cutting a cake into the shape we want it to be isn't as easy as we hoped.  That's my partner in crime, BCD!! NOM NOM NOM!!  N

Easter Sunday Cupcakes

Image
For this upcoming Easter Sunday, I've decided I want to do cupcakes instead of cake. For one, cupcakes are always easier (or so I thought) and you don't have to cut them (this part IS true).  To accomplish this "little" task, I made two grocery trips on different days because let's face it, I would like a crazy person with what I was buying - including 3 jars of pickles because I love pickles.  Above is my "work station". As you can see, I had no more room on the table for everything so the chair beside me turned into a table. Included in my shopping spree for this cooking fun are airheads, variety pack of Twizzlers, Easter colored M&Ms, Rainbow sour strips (whatever they're called...), 3 different kinds of marshmallows (they have flavored yellow and green marshmallows! I think lemon meringue and lime something... I would have to check but I don't want to leave my bed..), flower sprinkles, pink sprinkles, chick peeps, Starbursts

Lifting Cakes

Image
My hubby's sister's hubby turned 30, so she asked me to make a cake - Yay!! She mentioned his current obsession with Butterfingers, so a chocolate peanut butter cake it is!  I ended up baking six cakes in total - the first batch wasn't thick enough, so I doubled up on the amount of batter the second time around. So many cakes!!!  The theme this time around is weights, so a dumbbell is perfect!  These are my first two cakes, which I ended up crumbling up and making cake balls with them :)  Peanut butter frosting! So easy and delicious :) Just peanut butter, cream cheese, butter, a bit of vanilla extract and some powdered sugar! I made a double batch here and then another one for the cake balls. I decided to not microwave the marshmallows this time around to get a smoother texture with the fondant. Added a bunch of black food coloring. And then the powdered sugar! A little bit at a time so I don't add too much. Once it got s
