Baby Boy Safari Cake & Cupcake Ensemble
My dear friends are expecting a baby boy in February and they had a Safari themed baby shower. The colors were blue and brown and due to the large turnout, we had to plan accordingly when it came to the cakes. We had four dozen cupcakes, an 8"x3" round cake that sat on top of the large cupcake tower, a sheet cake, and the baby blocks were made using the square wilton cupcake pan (2 cakes were stacked with frosting to creat a square). The baby blocks and some of the cupcakes were Devils Food and the remaining cakes were white cake. The cakes were iced with buttercream frosting. The blue frosting was tinted buttercream. Chocolate frosting was used on some of the cupcakes. Fondant accents were used on the baby blocks (letters & shapes) and the round cake. Rasberry & chocolate sugar crystals were spinkled on the cupcakes and the top of the round cake. The cupcake wrappers were cut using a Cricut machine and the Cupcake Wrapper Cricut Lite cartridge. The fondant accents (letters & shapes) were cut using the Cricut Cake machine. The wreath was wrapped in riboon and various ribbon types were cut and tied around the form. Thank you for looking. ~K

Welcome Back Teachers & Faculty
I made this for my husband's school to welcome the faculty & staff back to school. The cake is covered with buttercream frosting and the fondant accents were made with the cricut brand gumpaste and cut using the Cricut Cake. The notebook pages & binder rings are gum paste as well. Edible markers were used to write on the pages. To ensure there was enough cake for everyone, I made cupcakes as well. The cupcake wrappers were made by my 10 year old son using the Cricut Cupcake Wrapper cartridges and scrapbook paper. TYFL.

Ladybug Birthday Cake
This was a ladybug cake that I made for a friend's 3rd birthday. It's and 8"x3" cake frosted with buttercream. The lettering and ladybug's are fondant and I used my Martha Stewart Cricut Cake mahine to cut them. I had just received the machine and decided that I would use it on this cake. Thanks for looking!

Anniversary & Cupcake Tower
The flowers were made with royal icing, the cake was frosted and decorated using buttercream. I made the wrappers from doilies (thanks to the instructions I found on Cake Central). The couple was celebrating their 12 wedding anniversary and the birth of their 5th child, so there is also a baby shower cake & tower as well. TYFL

Luau Cake
I made this for a friend's Luau Party. I was inspired by another cake that I saw on Cake Central. I used a 12x8x2 pan for the base and then carved it, the boobs are made with the Wilton sports ball pan set. I decorated it with a coconut bra and lei that I purchased from the dollare store. It's frosted in buttercream using the triple star tip for the bodice and tip 5 for the grass skirt. TYFL

The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
We threw a surpise party for my son at the movie theater and I wanted to make a cake that looked like the book(s). The cake is 11x15" and was frosted with buttercream and then covered in fondant. The book is all fondant. Gregory is made out of fondant (with a little gum tex added). I made the paper out of gumpaste and wanted it to look tattered and torn to give it that 'the dog ate my homework" look and the writing was done with edible markers. A special thanks to cakesage for sharing her photo and instructions. Thanks for looking.
