All 3 tiers are strawberry cake with buttercream filling. Crown, bow and star are made of gumpaste. You can't see it in the picture unfortunately, but the star on the crown and the one on the wand and also the whole name plate have sparkly iridescent edible glitter on them and when the light hits it, it's so beautiful and sparkly! I wish the camera would have captured it. =/ Bella's mom came up with the design and I think she did a great job!

Happy Birthday Garrett!


4"-6"
This is my nephew, Garrett. He lives in Washington State and wanted me to make his birthday cake when my mom and I flew up to visit them. It was going to be too much of a hassle to bring all my cake making tools on the plane with me so I decided to make it in my own kitchen in Houston and take it with me on the plane to Seattle. Pretty much all of the little balls around the bottom of the cake had fallen off into the box by the time I got the cake to my sister's house and also the top of the star had broken off. =/ So I mended it the best that I could and here it is! It's white almond sour cream cake with vanilla buttercream filling. Covered in Satin Ice fondant. Happy Birthday buddy! =)

The cake is yellow butter cake, filled with buttercream. Covered in yummy chocolate fondant. =)

Angie's 27th Birthday


4"-6"
Both tiers are chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream filling. Iced in buttercream and covered in Satin Ice fondant. This was the first time I made raspberry filling. I kept asking around at work for a good recipe and nobody had one so I used one that I found online. I should have asked my friend Jenn because she had 2 great recipes! The one that I made tasted pretty good but I'm going to try one of her recipes next time! I had so many problems with this cake and I had to make the top tier 3 different times. I wanted to cry! I'm not liking that Satin Ice fondant very much...it keeps tearing on me. I think I'm going to try a different brand. Oh and the color was supposed to be hot pink and the actual color looks more like a redish-pink. I used Duff's hot pink fondant and it's already VERY pink and when I put it on the cake it wasn't the color I wanted it to be. I thought it was so nice to have pre-colored fondant but next time I'll be mixing the color myself again!

My baby sister went to Europe for the summer and she brought me back a cute little reversible heart shaped silicone cake pan. =) So I made these little cakes for my family just for fun. Two of them are white cake and the other two are strawberry cake. Iced with almond buttercream and covered in Satin Ice fondant.
