Rodeo cake

This was a cake made for a one year old boy in a rodeo loving family! The top layer was made a little smaller so that the birthday boy would have his own smash cake!


Volcano!

We used red Squeeze Pop to make the lava. Little did we know that the stuff NEVER sets up! Half of it presumably leaked into the cake (which I bet the kids will love!) and most of the rest was on our countertop a few hours later! Still, a little bit clung to the cake and it looked cute!



WWE!

My brother would have loved this cake 20 years ago! The wrestling ring poles are made out of chocolate covered Cow Tails!


Peace!

I have been waiting to do a cake with this kind of theme. I love the little birds! This was out first attempt at covering a cake with chocolate ganache and it was so easy!



Beach/wine/Texas/Dolphins cake!

This was a last minute birthday cake and the only info we were given was that she likes the beach, wine, Texas and dolphins! The large island is shaped like Texas. The wine glasses are definitely not to scale but maybe she likes wine so much that she drinks it out of toilet-sized glasses!



Grave Digger!

Making this gravedigger out of frosting was a lot harder than I thought it would be! Luckily the customer loved it!

Dora

Okay, so yes I am a little obsessed with using the Frozen Buttercream Transfer method. But it is so easy, takes a lot less time and looks almost as good as fondant or gumpaste! Plus it tastes WAY better.
