All I See is Dollar Signs...

For my husband's class, he wanted to bring in a cake and volunteered me :) He suggested a cake in the shape of a dollar sign so here we go! 


For the cake, he chose the birthday cake mix. So I baked it in an 9'' pan and using my edible green marker, I drew out the design and began cutting. 


Close enough, right? 


I frosted the entire shape with vanilla frosting and then dotted green frosting to embellish on the shape a bit.


Outlined the green frosting with semi-sweet chocolate chips and used the remaining green frosting on the bottom edges.


And voila! A dollar sign cake that took me about an hour - not including the wait time for the cake to bake. 


A pretty yummy looking dollar sign if I say so myself :)

MUDKIPZ!

Image
You read that title right. This cake is going to be a Mudkip from Pokemon. If you don't know what it is, then here is a picture of it below.  Look, a Mudkipz! So for this lovable little guy, I started off with Funfetti Cake Mix :)  Then I shaped the larger cake into the main head of Mudkip and the smaller cake into the head-fin thingie... Of course, I was told this looks more like a turtle with a huge head...  Add the blue fondant for the skin tone.  Then I rolled out my orange and pink fondant for his mouth and his.. umm... cheek flaps? Hehe, it looks like he's drooling... Why it looks like that is because I use water to stick the fondant to the fondant. Very easy and water is definitely edible :)  Now because of limitations on time, I was sleepy and I was babysitting while baking this, I just used black frosting for the details and marshmallows pieces for the white eye part... I'm tired, so my vocabulary is very limite...

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...

Sopheria's 2nd Birthday!

Image
My baby is already 2 years old!!! T_T Where does the time go??? Anyways, for the theme of this party, I picked Sophie's favorite character at the moment (besides Elsa, I'm so over Frozen right now...) ....MICKEY & MINNIE! Who doesn't love a Disney birthday??  Since her actual birthday was a week before her birthday party, I made her two cakes (she is two years old after all!). I'm experimenting with the mirror glaze frosting (gelatin chocolate mix) and decorated one cake with candy balls and the other with food spray to see how it works with the glaze.  They both came out pretty cute I think :) A very easy, fast and neat way to cover a cake, I must admit.  There's the birthday girl!  Still blowing out those candles hehe Now time for the birthday party!  Sophie had gone apple & pumpkin picking with her daycare, so I decorated her little pumpkin for her :)  And the back!  I didn't really have too muc...
