Fit For A Princess

Fit For A Princess

Nordicware Castle atop a 12-inch square. The rocks are peanut M&Ms and the dragon, unicorn and frog prince are candy melts poured into a clay push mold. I glued the princess candle to a foam block (covered in pink wrapping paper) to give it enough height to rise above the cake.

Ornaments, Ornaments, More Ornaments

Ornaments, Ornaments, More Ornaments

Whew! These were tough, but the finished product is a show-stopper. The moms in my son's playgroup thought they were the real thing! I couldn't get the fondant tucked smoothly underneath, so they're trimmed at the edge of the mini-ball. And I ran out of time to attach the hangers, but I've saved them for the next go 'round.

Soccer Star

The soccer ball is from the sports ball pan, sitting on a 6-inch plate atop five inch tiers pushed into the base cake. I also drilled a hole into my separator plate (thanks Doug for the instructions!) and ran a wooden dowel through the ball and base. I cut the dowel a little short so it wouldn't poke out the top. It was very sturdy, survived my steep driveway, transportation to the mom's house and then transportation to the party. I painted the wooden dowel silver where it was exposed.

Big Spider

Big Spider

This big spider is a 12-inch petal pan, topped with the sports ball, topped with mini-balls. Chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream. Licorice legs. Theres a dowel running from the head to the base, but I wish I had put dowels under the cake board between the base and the spiders body. He ended up leaning farther back than I was comfortable with!

Hay, Hay, It's Your Birthday!

Hay, Hay, It's Your Birthday!

The amazingly versatile Wondermold, covered in Tip 233 straw with gumpaste man and pitchfork and buttercream animals. I love the teeny mouse at the bottom, I wish he didn't fade into the board so much. Maybe a brown mouse would have been better.

Spiderman

Spiderman

Just a character cake but you should have seen the look on my 3-year-old's face. Pricesless. I actually underestimated this cake. Figured I could knock it out in no time but was up all night decorating it. The webbing was so intricate and I had to pipe the tiniest little stars in between.
