A Little Magic

I LOVE this cake. It is just so darn cute! The bunny ears...the hat...the dots of candy confetti. There are cakes that I step back from sometimes and think - "eh, well the kiddo will love it." not exactly loving it myself and wondering if the friend who asked me to do it would care for it much at all. This cake is not like that though. I finished it - looked at it and I swear to goodness it made me wantt to go find a stuffed bunny and hug it!


This angle shows you some of how the bunny ears overlapped as they folded - giving it a flat, yet raised look all at the same time. Magical right? Oh please, you knew I had to say it at some point in this post!!

The cake is Chocolate Chocolate Chip and the icing is a Vanilla Buttercream. Yummy!!

That Cake Was A Mess - FOOD FIGHT!!!

Look at how pretty these kids look. All of Andersen's friends. Clean. Well mannered (well most of them). Nice. Smart. And very happy to have been invited to Andersen's 10th Birthday Party. Why? Well because they are all her besties in the world right? Oh...........and because the party was a FOOD FIGHT!!


To fit the theme we made certain the Mess Up The Cake before it was ever even served. I asked Andersen, "How do we make the cake reflect the theme of the party?" She said, "Throw the cake." Well you can't serve cake that is already thrown, so instead we made it look as though it had been thrown. And then after serving it I am pretty dog gone certain that some of it WAS thrown!!


Because all those cute and clean kids ended up looking like a big 'ole mess by the end of the day...........hoses anyone?

The cake was Yellow on one side and Chocolate on the other side. The icing was Vanilla Buttercream.

Biking Along

Guess what Andersen got for her birthday....can you figure it out?? It was blue....it had 2 wheels.....she was totally excited to get it....



Think really hard and I bet you can figure it out....yes...yes...it is a BIKE!! Ding ding ding ding - you guessed!!!


To celebrate the bike I made a tiny quick cake - this was in an 8" square. Banana cake.......I am starting to think this is the ONLY cake my kids ever ask for. I swear to goodness that they do ask for other flavors!



Vanilla Buttercream icing and then some really quick freehand without thinking much writing on it. Tah Dah!! A birthday cake is born.

Spidey came to Party

Okay........it isn't Ben's birthday all that often, but I have A LOT of cakes that have never been posted!! I am trying to clean the closet of pics and display them all.

This year Ben was asked "What kind of cake do you want for your birthday". He was silent for a second and then looked down at his robe....it was early in the morning....and then he said "Spiderman"....it was on his robe.



Starting to think that I really really enjoy looking at the process others go through as they create thier cakes. So I took a few more pictures besides the finished product.



Okay so maybe I could take pictures that are in "different spots" of where I am in creating the cakes......I will get better. Maybe.



But in the end the cake turned out super cute!! The birthday boy was very happy.........and I matched his robe perfectly!

Cake was Banana (noticing a theme) with a Vanilla Buttercream icing so the coloring tints would stay as true to the Spiderman theme as possible - see Ben notices this stuff!

Pop Tart Cake ~ Really?

I know - Everyone LOVES a Poptart for breakfast. Their yummy centers all gooey when you toast them up just right - not so hot that the icing burns your tongue, but enough that they are really warm against the nice cold glass of milk you drink with it. Geez O now I have to go grab a box of poptart's when I grocery shop next.



Yes he was totally serious. I said, "What kind of a Birthday Cake would you like for your party this year?" and he said, "I love PopTarts. Can you make me a PopTart cake?"

I said, "What do you mean - like a cake made with PopTarts?" and he said, "No, I want it to look like this guy." and he ran into the kitchen and came back with the PopTart box.

Really????

And so another unique idea was born.........



My kids really do think that I can make anything out of cake. I fear this might continue - in a giddy sort of excited way.....

Positive Reinforcement in a Cake

Along with the "Basic" graduation cake came a slightly more elaborate Positive Reinforcement cake. The Bobcat Award is an award granted to kids when they are caught doing something Wonderful. So it seemed only right that there should be a Bobcat award for the Entire Class of 2010!!

The cake was a Chocolate Chocolate Chip with a yummy Buttercream icing for the topper. Everyone loves chocolate!

Graduation Cake

Pretty Basic and Straight to the Point. Brigham Bobcakes Class of 2010 Graduation. Can you believe another year has passed and the kids who just started Kindergarten will be starting Junior High in just a few short months!!

Goodness Gracious!

This cake was a half sheet completely of Vanill White Cake with a Vanilla Buttercream icing. Perfect flavors to feed masses of people without worrying about what anyone would love - everyong LOVES white cake.
