Toy Story

My little friend wanted a Toy Story cake.  I'm thinking to match all of the Toy Story toys he was getting for his birthday.

I had ordered the Characters to sit on the cake weeks prior, but just to drive me insane didn't arrive in time! So the morning the cake had to be delivered, I spent driving around from toy store to toy store trying to find all the characters I needed.  Devasted I couldn't find Jessie ='[

(And of course, the ones I ordered arrived the day after!!)

So with some fondant planks of wood, toy army men and a fondant red plait (Jessie's hair), the Toy Story cake was done!

Take me out to the Ballgame

My Son's Rookieball season has come to a close... so that means PARTY! And for me, that means CAKE!

Cupcakes were made for all of the Players and Coaches, with a personalised Baseball on each cupcake.  All of the kids (and at least one Coach) loved them!

Cake Details: Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream, tinted green and piped to look like grass.  Each has a personalised topper, made from Fondant and piped with the red stitching and each players name.

"Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!"

A friend messaged me asking if I could make a small cake for her 3 year old's party. The brief was pretty easy... "Anything Buzz Lightyear"

So using Google as my research buddy, we found a cake that suited perfectly, not too big and of course featured Buzz. And I set to work making Buzz's wings as decoration.

I baked a White Chocolate Mud cake and a Chocolate Mud cake.  Covered both separately, so when dishing them up you can take the cake apart.

The bottom cake was covered with a green detail which is the same as Buzz Lightyear's breast plate and the top cake was covered in stars.  Added to the top was a Buzz Lightyear toy, borrowed from the Birthday Boy and the wings were attached to the back.

A cute little cake, perfect for a small party.
