Hats Off!!

PRINCESS HAT BOX CAKE!!

Have I ever mentioned how much fun it is to make cakes for lil girls?  Possibilities of bows, ruffles, and flowers are endless!!!

This chocolate cake was created for a joint princess birthday.  Draped with edible pearls, sugar flowers, and sparkling rings, this hat box cake was as a delight to make and design.

Holy Cap!!!

Play Ball!!

It's a birthday baseball hat!  Carrot cake for a Giants fan!

This was my first attempt at a craved baseball cap.  I have to admit, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.  Even though I tend to be my worst critic, I honestly am proud of this creation- aside from the wonky MLB logo on the back, lol.  The carrot cake was iced in vanilla buttercream and covered with fondant.  The bill and logo hand-crafted out of orange gumpaste.

I forgot the rivets, but the stitching details turned out fairly realistic

Silly MLB Man...

Oh, Brother!

Happy Birthday, Brother!

Last week was my brother/roommate/Ryan's birthday.  He has a strong love for music and has been an artist for about 18 years.  From drums to guitar, teaching to recording, he has done it all!  For Ryan's 28th, I decided to create a turntable cake.  For a first try, it turned out pretty good.  Although it is not to scale, and the colors are quite retro, it was still a mini success for me!

Gotta represent Diz in the cake too!
