T Rex Display Cake

I needed a new display cake for City Blends Coffee and Tea House where I do all my baking. Since I do so many kid's cakes I decided to show a fun birthday cake idea. Tyrannosaurus Rex bursting out of the cake. You can almost hear his scream can't you?

Grand Piano Cake

So I have definitely been on a 3-D cake kick of late. First my U.S.S. Enterprise cake for my own birthday, then my son's batmobile cake and now this one, a grand piano cake for a birthday party. The cake was blast to make, especially the fondant character of the birthday boy.

Batmobile Video

My son made the following video of his batmobile birthday cake being made. Hope you enjoy it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ECeokiCu6GQ#!

Batmobile Cake

My son Devan has his 17th birthday coming up on Christmas day. So of course Dad has to make him a cool cake. We decided on the Batmobile. First time I have done a 3-D car cake. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. But overall  think it turned out quite good.

A Christmas Carol Cake

A friend was directing a community theater version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He offered me free tickets in exchange for a cake. I couldn't resist

Super Mario Birthday

Another repeat customer who originally asked for as Thomas the Train cake (I've got to do one of those some time) but then was informed by her son that 4 years old was too old for Thomas the Train. The new theme was Super Mario. Cake is lemon with lemon meringue pudding filling. Mario and giant mushroom are rice krispie treats covered in fondant. All other decorations are fondant as well.

My Own Birthday

Well, when you're a cake decorator you kind of have to make your own birthday cake. I can just hear the comments if I posted a photo of my own cake from Costco or Safeway. So here it is. My first attempt at a cake of Star Trek's USS Enterprise. Being a true Trekkie, I am not happy with all the inaccuracies on this cake. On the good side though, I already know how I would fix most of them. Cake is chocolate with chocolate buttercream icing and a peanut butter buttercream filling.
