Fun Topsy Turvy 60th Birthday Cake

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?!

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?!

Zebra and Hot Pink Cake

Click picture to enlarge.

This cake was made for a first birthday.  It's made with a white fondant base, which was then decorated with black zebra strips.  The balls and bow are made with hot pink.  The '1' is completely edible, made of gumpaste then covered in edible silver glitter.

Although this is a simple cake, it turned out to be one of my favorites.  Something about zebra print always catches my eye!
