Taylor's Circus Cake
My granddaughter's mom was putting together a circus theme birthday. I made some changes for size, changed a border and added some different decorations, but it's basically still the Wilton Circus cake. It's the first time I tried something like this. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out and so was the birthday girl.

Mr. Pig
This was a very easy cake made for my granddaughter who for some reason is gaga over pigs. 16", 10" and 3.5" layers Make up the body, head and snout and 2 pipe cleaners twisted around each other make up the tail. Ears are fashioned from Balsa wood and painted with pink nail polish to provide a base color for the ears before adding a lighter color pink BC frosting around the edges. I crumbled up a damp papertowel to add texture to the BC frosting, just because I didn't want it smoothe.

Hannah Montana Birthday
Like most pre-teen girls Hannah Montana is IT! So for my granddaughter she wanted something Hannah. This is a Hannah Montana FBCT. It's the first time I actually tried to do a face. The face was a bit small for complete success as the black spread a bit to far, but all in all it turned out interesting, if nothing else.

John's Birthday Cake
I tried to copy tawnyachildres beautiful, but it didn't turn out quite as nice. I didn't have the right size an for the top layer or the right recipe for the drizzle. I was still very yummy though. I filled it with chocholate mousse and frosted it with a comb. ganash and whipped frosting and used ganash for the piping.
