Teapot Birthday Cake


This is Emily's Birthday Teapot Cake (complete with matching cupcakes!) This was my first attempt at a cake that was something other than just a round layer cake. It is a vanilla cake which I baked in a small pyrex bowl. I filled it with frosting and then covered it in a decorating frosting. I used a slice from the bottom of a cupcake to make the lid. The decorations with the exceptions of the flowers are just a marshmallow fondant. This was definitely a learning experience but all in all I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Cake Tattoo!



This was a birthday cake for my lovely sister. As the title clearly states, I used Duff's Cake Tattoos. I just used a white frosting for the base and a pink frosting for the borders. Definitely cute, and they have a ton of other designs that I'm looking forward to using!

RI Flag Birthday Cake!




This lovely cake was an order for a birthday cake for an amazing person who just happened to be a state representative for the state of Rhode Island. Thus, we decided it would be great to make the outside of the cake somewhat official-looking - so it was modeled on the state flag. The stars, anchor, and border of the cake are all fondant - the stars created with a cookie cutter and the anchor was traced using wax paper, piping gel, and a anchor template. The inside of the cake, however, is tie-dye! I used a vanilla cake and separated the batter into four bowls - and used food coloring to create red, blue, green, and yellow batter.

Gregory's Chocolate Birthday Cake


Unfortunately, I neglected to cake a picture of the cake before we started eating it. But I'm pretty sure you can imagine what the rest of the cake looked like. Four layer chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting between the layers, chocolate frosting on the outside with a chocolate frosting star-tip border along the bottom and on top. There are also chocolate chips on the side of the cake that went all the way around. I only wish I had made another of these for me...

Emily's Birthday Cake




This was a birthday cake for Emily! It was a vanilla cake with almond frosting and a vanilla frosting filling. The colors were purposefully those shades, because she tends to wear a lot of gray and black. The roses turned out pretty well - I used the Wilton burgundy color. I actually think this is my best writing to date. :) The black around the base of the cake is fondant.

Birthday Cupcakes




Here is a commission for birthday cupcakes to look like one cake. All of the cupcakes were vanilla with tin foil wrappers, the frosting are all buttercream and tinted using Duff's Electric Color Gels, though the purple cupcakes were also a blend with Wilton Icing Coloring as well. All the cupcakes were frosted using a round pastry tip. The flowers are completely beautiful as well as edible, made out of sugar and crafted by Mochasof, and then the sprinkles are silver and pearlized.
