Happy first birthday Alex and Olive!

Alex and Olive had their big first birthday on 12-12-13.  I didn't get a lot of good photos of this one since I was trying to beat the snowstorm that is supposed to dump 8.5inches on us today.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos of their individual smash cakes.  Oh well.
The cake a layer of white almond sour cream cake and a layer of chocolate fudge cake.   Animals are handmade from gumpaste, the ark is rice crispy treats covered in fondant.

Halloween Brain Cake

Fondant covered cake with decorator's edible blood.  Who knew Hershey's syrup and some food coloring could make edible blood!?!

Happy Birthday Finnley!

Finnley just turned 4 and loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  I remember these guys from when I was young, though I had to watch a few episodes to remind myself of some of the details....like that they LOVE pizza.  Here is Finn's cake - the turtles live under the city, so they're coming out of a manhole, with the cityscape on a tier and a base of pizza of course.  Fondant pizza. 
All the details and the turtles are hand crafted from fondant.
