Fun Topsy Turvy 60th Birthday Cake

Click the picture to enlarge.

This was my first cake done for a stranger!  Ahhhhhh!  I received an e-mail from a very crazy man who is still madly in love with his 'wifey'.  He wanted to surprise her with a birthday cake while vacationing on Long Island.  He told me that his wife wasn't too happy about turning 60, so I decided to come up with a fun design, rather than an older feeling design.  The cake itself is super tiny, being that it was only for 2 people.  The cakes are an 8", 6" and 4" stacked.  Each layer was decorated differently, one with diamonds, one with zebra and one with stripes.  Roses, stars and diamonds were added to make it feel even younger.  This turned out to be one of my favorite cakes.

Oh, and you guys should check out the reviews for the Allegria hotel on TripAdvisor.com!  My customer was so happy with the cake, he even mentioned me in his hotel review!!!

For your entertainment, a picture of me with the cake!
Isn't it so cute?!

Super Mario Themed Cake

I had a lot of fun with this cake.  I was told to make a Super Mario themed cake and to just go crazy with it, and this is what I came up with.

Mario is made of edible paper, as well as the 'Happy Birthday Matteo' sign.  Along the sides I cut out hills with different shades of green gumpaste.  I then made blocks in brown and yellow and placed them randomly along the top to look like a Mario level.  I also made the flowers that are in the game.  I threw in some clouds, stars and mushrooms and wahla!  A Super Mario cake!

Neon Sweet 16 Cake

Before I begin, please take no notice to the cotton balls!  Haha, I forgot to remove them before taking pictures!


This cake was for a neon themed sweet 16.  I was told to have fun with it and do whatever I felt like doing, and this is what I came up with!  In the end, I didn't like the bottom tier, but I love the top two. Every tier is covered completely in sparkles.  Even though you can't tell from the pictures, the cake sparkled from every angle.  Everything was made with fondant, except for the bow.  What do you think?!

Baby Butt Cake

I went into work and was told I had to do a baby butt cake.  I said to myself "Who would want to cut into a butt and eat it?!".  After I put my crazy thoughts aside, I got to work.  The customer didn't know if the baby was a boy or girl so I had to use gender neutral colors.  Brown, yellow, tan and baby green.  The babys butt and legs are made up of rice cereal treats and covered in fondant.  The feet are made entirely of fondant as well as the blanket on top of the babys butt.  The decorations along the bottom of the cake are made of gumpaste.  After this cake was finished, I fell in love.  I didn't want to give it up!

Gnome Cake

I made this cake for a friend of mine.  Her Aunt was turning 50 and she wanted a birthday cake.  My friend told me, "My Aunt LOVES gnomes".  And I was like "Gnomes, huh?  I can do that!"  Meanwhile all I was thinking was... How in the heck am I going to make a gnome cake?!  After some researching online and after finding some inspiration, I came up with this cake.  Everything is 100% edible.  From the fence planks, to the snails, to the mushrooms.  Even the gnomes and their signs!  A lot of work was put into this cake, but when it was done, it became one of my favorites.
