Snowflake/Frozen/winter cake

 Request for Disney character-less Frozen/winter-themed cake... fulfilled.

Death Star cake!

Requested by my own son, how could I say no? 

The Death Star! Inspired by the "Ace of Cakes" version of this. 

Fondant decor, yellow cake inside with vanilla frosting.

All put together with the Star Wars base. Black chocolate buttercream, fondant lettering. 

Lego figures were purchased.

Strawberry Cake

Chocolate cake, nutella buttercream for the filling, 

topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting. 

Tea Party: Teapot Cake and Cupcakes

A Whimsical Tea Party for a very special 5 year old! 

Fondant covered vanilla teapot cake, 

Strawberry and chocolate cupcakes, topped with various fondant flowers, 

candy flowers, or homemade pink chocolate teacup toppers.

[Alas, I forgot to take pictures of the gorgeous mint chocolate cupcakes and lime-vanilla cupcakes I made for St. Patrick's day! Sad...)

"Frozen" Cake!

I had so much fun making this Frozen cake! Vanilla buttercream, royal icing snowflakes and snowball, blue ice candy, and funfetti cake. All homemade except for the figurines, which were bought.

Tiramisu I love you

9- inch, 3 layer Tiramisu birthday cake- mascarpone cream sandwiched between crisp homemade ladyfingers (there's nothing like it) soaked with both amaretto and kahlua, and topped with dark chocolate shavings. 

(Did I make a gluten-free version for myself? You betcha. 

Was the lactose-induced stomachache worth it? You betcha.)

Birthday Cakes

We had a slew of birthdays recently! And they all requested chocolate...

Hockey Puck cake: chocolate cake filled with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with blackened chocolate ganache and fondant hockey sticks. My hand got a little shaky once I got to the lettering part. Hmm. Maybe not so much coffee next time I do lettering...

Ombre cake- chocolate cake, filled with raspberry curd and raspberry frosting, and topped with Italian meringue vanilla and raspberry-flavored frosting. 



Chocolate-chocolate cake: 4 layer milk chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting.
