Elegant Spring Cake

This is a cake I named Elegant Spring Cake. I made this cake for a my friends' birthdays this month in March.  Since Spring is right around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate for something fresh, stylish, and chic.  I chose bright yellow for the handmade flowers while the metallic finish in silver still made it elegant. Feliz cumpleanos, chicas! 

Romantic Ruffled Birthday Cake

My husband's grandmother (babanne) turned either 92 or 93 this year. Yes,  we are not sure because there was discrepancy back in the day with what the actual year was on her birth certificate! Anyway, babanne was so happy to have a cake for her birthday this year.  She said her birthday was SO nice this year, it would probably be her last (even though she has been saying this is her "last birthday" for past 20 years)!

I choose a ruffled and Tiffany & Co. colors to create the style of the cake below.

Hope you make it to 100!
Love, Vanessa

Father-to-be Birthday Cake

Here is a cake for the father-to-be on his 35 th birthday.  In two weeks he will be expecting his first child, a baby girl! What better gift to receive than the gift of a child, so a baby girl poking out of the box seem to suit the theme.  Happy birthday to the daddy-to-be and congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

Thomas the Train

Thomas the Train seems to be back on the children's list of popular characters.  I made this cake for my son back in January but this time we needed a lot more cake.  More cake? No problem.  The base of the cake became the railroad track and its rocky terrain.  Kaya also wanted some pirate-themed favor cookies to share with his friends on his special day.  There was a little bit of everything to make everyone enjoy the day.  Wishing you a very Happy 3rd Birthday, Kaya!

Little Mermaid Cake/Deniz Kızı Pastası

A Little Mermaid cake for a special little girl, Nehir, that turned 4 this past weekend.  Her mother explained to me that it was imperative that I include Ariel, Eric, Flounder and Sebastian and well, this was the end result.  I had such a great time making the figures and designing the cake.  My son who is also in love with the Little Mermaid movie asked if he could have it.  I almost didn't have a cake to give - Yikes!  Happy 4th Birthday!

Star Wars rocks my son's world these days so he was quite
jealous when I made this cake.  I decorated this cake with
the cool blue and rockin' red light sabers - gotta have these, right?
To get the glitter look, I first rolled out the fondant. Secondly, I used a fine bristled paint brush and "painted" the fondant with the glitter (I used Wilton's edible glitter dust in Silver). When finished, I used a star cookie-cutter for the stars.
Happy 6th Birthday, Arda!

Come on Barbie, let's go party!

I hate to admit this but every time I make one of these Barbie cakes I always

start singing the lyrics to Aqua's Barbie Girl song, do you remember?  "I'm a barbie girl, in a

barbie world, life in plastic, it's fantastic"  

......ANYWAY, back to this blog posting. I just wanted to show off this beautiful pink

barbie cake.  The 8 year-old girl saw it and said,  "I can't dare to cut it.  I want to keep it like that

forever!"  *Sigh*  So sweet!  

  

Happy 22nd Birthday!
