Chili Pepper
These were done for another Cinco de Mayo 1st birthday. The lg. one is a 12 x 18 carved down and the smash cakes are 8" rounds carved down. All iced in bc and airbrushed. I had problems with condensation when I was spraying the cakes because I took them right from the fridge. I wasn't happy with how the color turned out - lesson learned!

Cactus
I made this for my daughter's first birthday, which happens to be on Cinco de Mayo. It's chocolate cake with bc. I used 3-8" rounds and I baked the top layer in an 8" round casserole dish to get the dome effect. I was going to add rice noodles to get the look of cactus needles, but I totally ran out of time. I used a large plastic garden pot base as the cake board and filled it with crushed chocolate cookies with chocolate filling to look like the dirt. Not my best, but everyone liked it!
