Little Monster Cake

This was a last minute request...really last minute.  I was asked Sunday afternoon and needed to deliver by Monday at 4pm.  The cake was for a little boy's first year birthday.  It was his little smash cake.  My friend who gives me the most business ever asked if I had a cake I could make her on hand, luckily I did, and I owed her a favor.  It all worked out!  I used the fondant and icings I had on hand from my sister's cake and took everything out of the fridge to decorate.  It was the easiest ever because I had everything done and just had to decorate it all.  The top is Mike Wazowski form Monsters Inc.  I used the Frozen Butter Cream Transfer method to achieve that result.  I used Marshmallow Fondant to make the doors  around  the cake and modeling chocolate to make the number.  This cake was super fun and worked out great. The inside was a devil's food with chocolate ganache.  I must say that this cake was one of the few I got to make with out scouring the internet for ideas.  It popped into my head and I just went with it.  I am certainly pleased with how it turned out and appreciate that I was able to practice techniques that I have learned.  Thanks dear friend for the opportunity!

Birthday Cake, Jake and the Neverland Pirates

I apologize for the bad photo, best I could do with my phone cam.  Jake and the Neverland Pirates cake.  Top was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, bottom was white cake with Swiss Meringue Butter Cream filling.  Has fun with this fondant covered cake with fondant decorations.The figurines were provided by the client.  The only things that weren't edible were the stick used for the flag, and the palm tree fronds made out of wired paper.delicious and fun!  The client provided a photo of a cake she wanted done, and I looked into it a little more and saw that the photo cake was inspired by Sandra's Cakes blog.  So I put my own spin on it a little bit and made it the way I thought would look cool.  The top tier I imagined was a map, so I gave it an old map look.  My waves were big, and I tried a new technique with the letter color.
