My now-three-year-old daughter requested a sprinkles themed birthday. Yes! Best theme ever! This was a very different style than I usually make, but so much fun!

Quick cake for my daughter's friend Kaitlyn's 8th birthday. She requested a big sparkly 8 on top, stars and flowers, and any color but pink. The teddy bear is in honor of the fact that the party is at Build-a-Bear.

My daughter's 8th birthday theme was Egyptology--so much fun!! I got pretty close to the right shape with my carving, and only had to spackle in a little on the edges to get the fondant panels to touch. ;-) The hieroglyphs on the pyramid door spell out "Happy Birthday Ainsley."

A cake and dessert table I made for my friend's daughter. Classic Gnome theme (think Wil Huygen). The cake is a simple carrot cake with cream cheese icing, with royal icing embellishments on the side (mimicking the fabric I used in the party), and the topper is made of gumpaste. The actual table part of the miniature gumpaste dessert table on top of the cake is made of rice krispie treats.

My daugther's 2nd birthday was this weekend, and since her nickname means "butterfly" in Cornish, we had a butterfly themed party. I've done this cake before (design by Peggy Porschen), but I couldn't resist doing it again for the party, this time in yellows.

My friend's daughter just turned 11 and had a Harry Potter birthday party. Her mom Paulette is already great at making cakes, but for fun, we decided to collaborate and have a cake play-date for the moms (while our daughters happily played). Those book cakes are way harder than they look--kudos to those who have uploaded far better versions than mine! We decided to split the cake into two separate cakes because of the size of the dessert table. The golden snitch is a cake ball with gumpaste wings.

My friend's daughter is turning four today, and desperately wanted a Rapunzel cake. She requested strawberry and chocolate cake, so the tower is made out of strawberry cake (4" diameter rounds), and the hill is made of chocolate (a 12" and 10" round stacked and carved). Fondant covered with gumpaste accents. I made the green fondant a little too dry and it cracked, but luckily, my busy designs cover up a lot of sins and distract from those still visible. ;-)

Another birthday cake for our sweet next door neighbor, this one for her 13th birthday. She loved the cake I made last year for another girl on the culdesac, and asked for a version of it in her favorite colors.

This cake (featured on the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings about six years ago) is the cake that inspired me to start cake decorating. I made it on a whim, and was so proud of myself. Looking back at pictures now, WOW, it was awful! I was very excited to have a chance to re-do this cake and redeem myself for my daughter's first birthday party. You can hardly tell it fell over flat on its side that morning!

My daughter's friend Sofia turned six today, and asked me to make the cake. She told me she loves yellow and let me have free reign--just the way I like it! She loved the cake so much she wouldn't let anyone cut into it and eat it at the party. ;-)

My daughter asked for a Mermaid Tea Party party for her 6th birthday. Much of the decor for tomorrow's party will be under-the-sea, and the cookies are all mermaids and sea-life, but the cake is all tea party. I got the idea for the miniature tea set cupcakes from Zalita on flickr. Her work is absolutely exquisite.

Cake made for my daughter's friend, Maia's 11th birthday. She requested something in green, teal, and brown and gave me free reign on the design. The flavors were Neapolitan--each tier had chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I tried adding freeze dried strawberries to the scratch strawberry cake recipe I use, and the extra flavor boost was *excellent*.

Birthday cake for my next door neighbors' daughter, who is incredibly sweet to my five year old. I promised to make the cake for her, despite the fact that I gave birth two weeks ago. My mom heroically offered to bake, ice, and cover the cakes with fondant, so I just got to do the fun stuff. 8 and 6 inch layers, gumpaste embellishments.

I made this for my friend's daughter's first birthday. The Wubbzy and friends images came from the free clipart on the Nick Junior site.

My daughter's best friend requested a cake for her birthday, and gave me free reign on the design. "I like pink and fairies," she told me. It's busy, even by my standards, but I love the way it turned out! I was particularly happy with my edible butterfly experiment. I drew butterfly shape outlines on rice paper with food coloring markers, used dry petal dust to give it color, and used royal icing for the bodies. So delicate, so pretty!

My daughter requested a Unicorn Rainbow cake this year for her 5th birthday. The rainbows and unicorn are gumpaste, sprinkled with disco dust. 10-8-6" layers--yeah, I made too much cake. ;-) I tried the aerosol luster dust spray for the first time on this cake, and though it doesn't show up well in this photo, it works gorgeously. It's more subtle than I thought, but I certainly could have continued to add more layers to get a more dramatic effect; I just wanted a subtle shimmer.

Where is the search feature for the galleries now? Before we could put the theme and then all the relevant cakes appear.

indianacakesbylisa 11/1/12 at 3:04pm

I would also love to find out about this feature!!!!!!!!! :-)

Sweet_Cake 11/1/12 at 4:04pm

I used the search on the top right of the page. Then the page give you some options like All/Product/Gallery Image. Select the one that you want and that's it!! =)

Yeloroz65 11/2/12 at 7:33am

That search option doesn't appear to allow you to search within a search like before. I'm trying to search in Children's Birthday cakes, but only for girls. Yesterday I tried searching for a girl's b-day cake several ways, and one of the searches brought up several adult/naughty theme cake. I think I just searched girl birthday cake. That search also brought up wedding cakes, and some random halloween cakes. Before you could do a general search, then there was an option to search within the results to narrow it down more. Does anyone know if that feature still exists?

lsfas 11/2/12 at 3:02pm

I agree Ladyfist74 I dont understand why these comments are under our albums when it has nothing to do with our pics

bighand 11/4/12 at 11:13am

i agree its really weird

Eileen22 11/6/12 at 4:48am

I can't find my favorites. Now I can't even search a particular cake. What's going on? This is not good at all. Does anyone know what happened?

Cakesbyinstinct 11/6/12 at 2:20pm

Please how do i search for cakes?

Scooper2 11/7/12 at 9:35am

tinascakes8085 11/7/12 at 5:28pm

I was just getting used to the last change now this, and so far I am not to happy :(

Ashpatti 11/7/12 at 9:37pm

Agreed. This change is really confusing me. Nothing about it makes any sense. It was so easy to navigate before! What's happened?

carolinabass 11/8/12 at 8:49am

how come we dont get ANY answer to our comments and questions???

Jujube 11/8/12 at 10:05am

I really don't want to search thru THOUSANDS of cakes when I only want to view Hello Kitty!! WHERE IS THE SEARCH FEATURE?!? Hello....moderators....are you out there?? We'd like an answer please and thank you!

tinascakes8085 11/9/12 at 4:24pm

It is very complicated and the search feature is horrible, so not happy

SweetsbyLadawn 11/9/12 at 6:01pm

Oh god help what is the solution to the search feature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

makeminepink 11/11/12 at 9:11am

I'm wondering the same thing. Is it here and we just aren't seeing it or is there not one?

Bonald 11/12/12 at 8:02am

Ugggghhhhh! This new design is HORRIBLE!!!! I can't find anything!!!!!

yessiescakes 11/13/12 at 8:52am
