weekend cakes...

first up was another beer cooler cake for a wedding rehearsal dinner - the groom is an employee of MillerCoors - so all the beer cans are their products.....marble cake, iced in butter cream.....i made the "beer cans" out of fondant & hand painted on the logos.....the "ice" is clear gelatin (it was so dark outside, on the restaurant patio, where the party was being held - i had a hard time putting in the "ice" and knowing if i was filling up the blue empty spaces).......the white rim of the "cooler" is not edible


next up was this cake for a co-worker's husband.....she was throwing him a surprise 50th birthday party & wanted the cake to portray him (as a much older man), fishing on the beach (as he does a lot when they go on vacation).....she had me match up his swim trunks & trusty beach hat ;0) the bottom tier is confetti & the top is fudge chip.....all iced in butter cream.....the "sand" is a graham cracker/brown sugar mixture.....i made the man & tiny shells out of fondant.....the chair & fishing pole are not completely edible


then came this Scooby Doo cake for little Hannah......it's chocolate cake, iced & decorated in butter cream


and lastly, my nephew's 2nd birthday cake! Matthew turned 2 yesterday - he LOVES 4-wheelers & tractors.....he especially loves his daddy's 4-wheeler, so i made it into a cake.....this is confetti cake, iced in cream cheese icing......the 4-wheeler is made of rice krispies, covered & decorated in fondant.....the handlebars are not edible

he giggled when he saw his cake & said "4-wheeler!" :0)
