Minnie Mouse Cake And Cupcakes

I was asked by a friend to make a cake for her 4 year old's birthday party that was Minnie Mouse themed. She had seen some on this site and wanted one similar. Here is my cake I made. My first time doing a stacked cake. My second ever fondant covered cake. Came out better than I thought it would. The bottom tier is chocolate fudge with strawberry buttercream filling and covered in buttercream and MMF that I made. The second tier is vanilla with lemon buttercream filling and pink mmf that I made. The top or minnie "head" is chocolate fugde covered in black satin ice fondant. There was no way I was going to try to attempt making black MMF. I added gum tex to the ears and bow and dried them out a few days a head of time so they would stay. glued them on with royal icing. The dots around the bottom two tiers is buttercream. The cupcakes are chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting, oreos for the ears and fondant bows that I made.

Margarita Cupcake

I love cake and margaritas why not combine the two?? This is a white cake made with margarita mix, lime zest and tequila, the frosting is a lime tequila buttercream and I rimmed it in green and yellow sugar crystals to make it look like a salted margarita glass. Garnished with a fresh lime slice. I wanted to use candied limes but couldn't find any. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo

Spongebob Squarepants Cake

A friend of mine asked me to make a cake for her son's 8th birthday. I love to bake but has absoutely NO training whatsoever in cake decorating. I only have watched cake shows on TV like Ace of Cakes, Challenge and Cake Boss. So when she asked me to make a Spongebob cake I was up for the challenge. So this is my first ever shaped, fondant covered cake. The cake is a 2 layer white pound cake with a whipped chocolate ganache filling, all homemade, a fluffy vanilla buttercream frosting and the yellow is MMF I made myself. The rest is either Wilton pre dyed fondant or satin ice vanilla that I dyed with the Wilton spongebob colors. The arms, nose and legs are all fondant. It came out a lot better than I had expected and it even tasted really good. I did have a hard time watching him get cut to pieces!
