Skull Princess First Birthday Cake!

I just love, love, love this cake!  This is actually my first ever topsy turvy cake without using styrofoam!  Yay me!

The cake consists of a 12", 10" and 8" stacked on top of each other and cut to look 'turvy'.  To create that effect, I slanted the top of each cake, then cut out a hole where the next layer would fit.  Confusing, I know...

The colors and theme are amazing.  Hot pink and black.  Skulls and polka dots.  Crowns and zebra!  What else could you ask for?!

Lightning McQueen Cake!

After making this cake, I've officially stepped down from sculpting!  Haha, just kidding. It was a pain in the butt though!

I've never really made a sculpted cake before this Lightning McQueen one.  It took my a little while to get his shape to the point where I felt he was recognizable.  After all was said and done, I thought the shape came out great, but his color is a little off.  I think it's a little too dark.  All and all, it's not a complete disaster!

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!

Spongebob Cake

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?  Spongebob Squarepants!  Made this cake for a friend, of a friend.  When I was first told I had to do a Spongebob cake I said to myself "Easy.. it'll take me an hour!"  Yeah, okay.  I forgot how detailed Spongebob really was.  Overall, including baking and cooling, it took me 5 hours to do.  I'm pretty happy with how he turned out.  And apparently he was a big hit at the party.  Woohoo.

Hello Kitty Cake

Calling all Hello Kitty fans!  This cake is for you.  I did this cake in two pieces, the head being one and the body another.  It's covered in white fondant, then decorated with pink fondant to decorate.  The whiskers are made up of gumpaste, as well as the eyes and nose.  I've never really liked Hello Kitty before this cake, but I've got to say, she's pretty cute!

Barbie Cake

This cake was made for a little girls birthday.  They asked for a beautiful Barbie cake, and this is what I came up with!  The doll is adorned with a ball gown type dressed, which has white accents and pearls throughout.  The entire cake is covered in sparkles and it gleamed in the light.  The cake looked so elegant!

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.
