"Twister" cake!

When we had our "game" party, the "Twister" board was the inspiration for the cake.  You can see how simple this was.  A white sheet cake with polka dots.  We wrote twister on it and then plopped on the barbies.  The party guests really got a kick out of this cake!

Drama Club Party!

"Drama Club" Party!  This was the cheapest, most effortless party we've ever done.  The cake was a directors sign. A simple sheet cake with chocolate frosting.  All the details were in white frosting.

 The decorations were simply red crepe paper strung around to imitate red curtains on a stage.

The kids put on plays, did improv. games and just got silly.  It was so simple and everyone had fun!

"Herbie" car cake!

Here is one of the first cakes I made.....Ha! Looks like it's been in a car crash!  I couldn't find any of my decorating tools and we had just moved, so life was crazy.  My little boy LOVED the old classic Disney movie, "Herbie", so we made him a Herbie car.  He was young, so he didn't analyze the cake...He was thrilled with it!   It was 2 round cakes cut in half and stood up to form a 1/2 circle.  Then we carved out the windshield area and iced it with butter cream. The wheels are devil cake cookies.   It was fun! 

Star Wars "R2-D2" Cake!

One of our birthday themes was "Star Wars".  It was a blast!  For the cake we made an R2D2 cake.  It was a 4 layer cake. 3 round cakes and one dome cake on top. The legs of R2 were sheet cakes cut to the shape of his legs. The guests went nuts over it.  The buttons are m-n-ms and the whole cake was iced with homemade white and blue butter cream frosting.  Easy and fun!

Totoro Cake (fondant)

Here is another "Totoro" cake I made.  This one was fondant and for the county fair 2012.  It was made out of homemade fondant....super easy to work with, and then I painted it with food colouring!  

 It won a blue ribbon and a "Wilton" first place award.  Fun to make!!!  I love Totoro!

Pumpkin Cake!

Pumpkin Cake!  Very simple, but a little time consuming.....

It is actually 2 bundt cakes to make it round.  The time consuming part was piping on the orange frosting.  To do it again , I'd probably just do large strokes and then pipe a line that looks like the creases in the pumpkin.  It was still fun.  The stem is a "hoho"....and the fall leaves are just decoration.

"March of the penguins" cake!

Super silly and simple 

"march of the penguins" cake....

Once again...this kind of cake is the easiest thing to make!  You bake a cake and then pile up extra cake to make the mountain.  Freeze it, then frost it white.  (I freeze all my cakes cause they are so much easier to frost when they are frozen!)

We hollowed out an area of the cake where we placed jelled blue jello!  It looked just like water to my daughter.  She couldn't believe it!  Kid are so cute....something so simple to us is so special to them...anyway, then we piped on the little black penguins and used an orange sprinkle for the beak!  *Note:  Put the blue jello water on about a half an hour before serving....the jello is cool but might slide off. ;)
