last week's cakes...

This week's cakes started off with Madeline's 1st birthday bows cake that i posted already

Next, came a replica of a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner that was rebuilt by the birthday boy.....his wife requested the cake as a surprise......she wanted it to be on a drag strip, complete with burnouts......all dark chocolate cake, iced in butter cream.....the car is decorated in my homemade fondant.....the christmas tree is not completely edible


Then, the weekend kicked off with Katie & Jesse's wedding......Katie & her family attend our church.....I had the chance to make Katie's older sister's wedding cake back in May - and now it was Katie's turn.....she had a beach theme & wanted have the cake done in that style.....all fudge chip cake, iced in my homemade butter cream - the "sand" is brown sugar & the shells are gum paste.....the fence is not completely edible


The bride also had me make a surprise groom's cake for Jesse......more fudge chip cake, decorated in a Mario Bros. theme :0)


Next up, was my new favorite cake - this one was for 13 year old Trent.....I've been making cakes for Trent's mom & all their special events for quite some time now. I love this one so much, because it's very personal and special......and what a great idea for a teenage boy (the hardest people to design cakes for!)! Mom asked that I create 13 items that represent her son.....she gave me a list of ideas & here's what we came up with together - can you spot them all on the cake?

*cell phone*iPod*money*contact lens case*weights*wrestling head gear*push lawn mower*sombrero*frying pan with eggs (his specialty)*football*beach towel*hair gel*a key to his dream car (a Dodge Charger)*

She also asked that I decorate the cake in Trent's favorite team colors - The University of Miami. Mom was THRILLED - I hope the birthday boy loved it just as much! :0) The #1 is fudge chip & the #3 is funfetti cake - all iced in butter cream, then covered in fondant stripes (took FOREVER). I made all the little items out of fondant - the lawn mower handle & the weight bar are not edible.


And lastly, was a duck & goose hunting cake for an adult birthday. Jon is an avid duck hunter & his wife requested this cake for him. All white cake, decorated in homemade chocolate butter cream. The ducks/geese, the gun & the lanyards with calls are fondant.


Thanks for looking! :0)
