Nega Maluca

This cake was for my husband's birthday. He spent some time in Brazil and always talks about this cake. He's been begging me to make nega maluca for a few years now. He even found a recipe in Portugese and translated it for me. So I decided to try it this year for him. It looked pretty, but it needs some more practice.

Rustic Wedding and Cupcakes

I'd been planning and prepping for this wedding for quite a while. And stressing over it, I might add. I was thrilled with the end results. And this bride's venue just brought everything together beautifully! Absolutely perfect! The cake is 10" & 8" triple stacked lemon cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream and fresh flowers. 5 dozen cupcakes are French vanilla with vanilla buttercream (coral colored), and 5 dozen cupcakes are lemon with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream (lemon colored).

Batman Cake

It must be the age. Because my 6 year old is constantly in dress up clothes too. But this birthday boy? Always wearing something Batman. Whether it be a shirt, pajamas, or a full fledged costume. His sweet mom probably has to call him Batman to get him to listen to her. Just a guess, but it happens at my house. So it logically follows that the cake is going to be Batman too. Oh, he was in Batman heaven! 8" French vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Baseball and Soccer

Sometimes you just can't pick a favorite. Sometimes there has to be two! Like soccer and baseball. Both are great in their own spheres. Haha! See what I did there? Balls are spheres! Okay, it's just not as funny if you have to explain it. :) Anywho, this birthday boy couldn't pick his fave. So we gave him both! It is his birthday, after all! 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant. And 6" hemisphere French vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I love it when my customers give me a little creative licence on a cake. The initial picture I was given just had a moon and a few stars on top. And some sculpted animals in front. The girl throwing the baby shower said her theme was twinkle, twinkle, little star. And I had this vision of stars cascading down the entire side of the cake. I love how it looks and the mother to be loved it too! 8" and 6" lemon cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Mario Birthday Cake

This cake. Oh my goodness. I'm a little bit of a Mario fan myself and this was so much stinking fun! The mushroom on top did turn out bigger than I had originally envisioned, but I still love how it turned out! I can't take credit for the design. I totally found a picture of this cake on Pinterest and copied it. Why improve on perfection? This cake also marked my first anniversary of selling my cakes. I was lucky enough to make this birthday boy's cake last year also. The cake is 8" red velvet and carved red velvet mushroom with 'mystery frosting' and fondant. The cake and frosting recipe is the birthday boy's grandma's recipe.

Frozen Cake #3

What else can I possibly say about Frozen? The obsession continues, I suppose! Something tells me this isn't the last Frozen cake request I will have! 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant.
