Topsy-Turvy Surfer Cake
This is the surfer-themed cake I did for my daughter's third birthday. It was a combined party with her friend, and when he found out it was a surfer cake, he got upset because he wanted a pirate cake! So we turned his surfer dude into a pirate. This was my first topsy-turvy (thanks to the janellescakes for the Youtube video) and my first try at fondant figures. I also tried out some new recipes. For those of you that care: The bottom was S'mores (alternating layers of chocolate and graham cracker cakes with marshmallow filling). The top was stawberry with strawberry filling. All covered in MMF.

Class Cake
A teacher friend got married and asked me to do a little wedding-type cake for her to take to her class (instead of inviting a bunch of little kids to the wedding!). Her real wedding cake (done by her SIL, a professional) was chocolate fondant with tangerine colored fondant roses, so we thought we'd do something similar but more fun for the kids. It was my first attempt at making fondant and it was a disaster!! So the cake is iced in chocolate bc with (purchased) fondant accents.

Luau Birthday Cake
This was for my daughter's third birthday. Cake was chocolate, dress was white with mint chocolate chip ice cream filling. Fondant flowers for lei. I used a combination of white, brown, and turbinado sugars, plus cinnamon, for the sand. Everyone loved the cinnamon and sugars with the chocolate cake.
