My adorable baby cousin Gaby had her 2nd birthday this sunday! My cousins asked me to make her sixty jungle cupcakes for the party. There are twenty chocolate, twenty vanilla and twenty strawberry cupcakes with vanilla frosting. I used fondant to make the animal faces. I made monkeys, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and lions. Most of the kids reached for the monkeys first so I can safely say that was the favorite, but my favorite face was the elephants.

Domino Birthday Cake
This cake is a full sheet cake so it's really huge and heavy! It's half pineapple and half strawberry with vanilla buttercream frosting. The only fondant on this cake is the writing and domino tiles.

Coffee Mug Cake
This is a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. I carved the mug shape out of three 6inch round pans. All the decorations are made out of fondant & the "coffee" is actually chocolate candy melts. The lines on the mug and handle is made from yellow fondant painted with ivory food coloring to give it the Café look. The spoon is made from fondant & the board is covered in a blanket of green fondant and it's supposed to look cloth like.

Sprite Can Cake
I made this cake to look like a can of Sprite. It's a super small cake that only feeds two people at most. It's a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. It's covered with fondant and there's pipping gel on the side to look like spilt Sprite. I used my air brush again to make the blue and green on the fondant. I'm getting better at using that machine!

Red Power Ranger Bust Cake
Happy Birthday!!! I made this power ranger bust cake on Sunday for my boyfriend's 19th birthday! He liked power rangers when he was little so I decided to have him relive those days by making him this cake. It's a red velvet cake with buttercream frosting inside and covering the entire cake. I didn't cover this cake with fondant. Instead I smoothed out some buttercream all over the cake and air brushed it with red food coloring. Although, I did use some fondant to make the white triangles, eyes and mouth. This cake had a lot of trial and error especially since it is my first time air brushing a cake. It didn't come out quite as I envisioned, but that's expected since I'm a beginner with the air brush and covering in only buttercream. The cake turned out good & I'm so glad Joel liked it!

Nike Jordan Shoe Cake
I was asked to make this Jordan shoe cake for a customer's little brother. The cake is a marble cake (vanilla cake with chocolate swirls). In between each layer is vanilla buttercream frosting. I made this cake out of a few rectangle cakes stacked onto each other and just sculpted out the shape of a shoe. The decorations are all fondant! I'm super happy with how this cake came out looking! & I'm also happy the customer liked the cake! Yay!Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cake
I made this cake for my cousin's god son's birthday! The bottom tier is a chocolate cake decorated as a pizza, the second tier is a vanilla cake decorated as a city, and the top tier is vanilla cake decorated as a sewer hole that the ninja turtles come out of. It is all decorated out of fondant...even the ninja turtles are fondant. I'm really happy with how this cake turned out!

This is the first tier of the cake. I really liked the way it looked as a pizza. The middle isn't covered as much as the sides of the cake, because I was going to top it with the second city tier. The white cheese is actually white chocolate I shredded with a cheese grater.
