Tinkerbell Tree Stump Cake

 A friend asked me to make her daughters birthday cake. She wanted a Tinkerbell cake and I had the freedom to experiment with the design.  After looking through a ton of Tinkerbell designs, this is what I came up with.

Here are a few pictures before I added the flowers on top and some close ups of the decorations.

I love how this tree stump turned out.  I could have just left the Tinkerbell candle on top with out the flower, but felt it need a little pop for a special little girl.  This cake would be cute for a couple as well.  Their initials could be carved on the side in a heart.

The cake was my new favorite chocolate recipe with butter cream icing inside.

Brenna and Emma's Princess Party Cakes

Brenna turned 2 and Emma turned 5 in August!  To celebrate, I made a carriage cake and one pillow cake for each girl.  The pillow cakes were topped with personalized tiara's.  They are made of a delicious yellow cake and filled with butter cream.  The decorations are made of fondant and gum paste.

Princess Castle Cake

A friend requested a special cake for her daughter's birthday. The cake used the Wilton Romantic Castle set. It's butter cream with gum paste flowers. The turret tops and other purple decorations are made of royal icing that has been coated in sparkling sugar. The top layer is a white cake with an Oreo filling and the bottom is chocolate cake with a chocolate filling

Oliver Cast Party Cake

My talented husband played Bill Sykes (from Oliver) in a local theatre production.  This cake was made to serve up to 50 people. The bottom layer is plain pound cake, the middle chocolate pound cake and the top is lemon pound cake.  It's covered entirely in fondant and has a few gold covered chocolate coins. The top hat represents the costumes of many of the characters.  The books mirror those that were part of the set.
