Pumpkin Cake

Happy Halloween!!

I planned to make a bunch of different Halloween cakes and cupcakes this year, but sickness got in the way! But I was able to make this pumpkin cake for dessert on Halloween. It was fun to decorate and the kids loved it!

Elmo!!

This year for my baby's 2nd birthday, I made her an Elmo cake. I love this cake pan! It has always been one of my favorites. Not only is it easy to make, but who doesn't love Elmo?? Well, my little girl does, so I decided it was the perfect cake for her.

Okay, so this cake is supposed to be easy, right? Wrong! My frosting (homemade cream cheese) would not thicken up! It was literally dripping down the cake. That has NEVER happened before! I was so frustrated but there was nothing I could do besides make more frosting. Of course, I was making the cake a few hours before the party and that just wasn't an option! So I decided to make the best of it. In the end, I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Batman

My son asked me to make a Batman cake for his 5th birthday. I had bought a pan on Ebay, but it was a vintage Batman and it didn't look anything like Batman today. So, I had to modify it the best I could using the decorations for his party. He really liked it, so I guess it turned out okay. It was fun to make a new cake....haven't done many of those lately!! Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy!!

Complete with the Batman candle....

Pink Bear Face

How cute is this cake?!? I have been wanting to get this cake pan for a long time! My friend asked me to make this for her daughter's first birthday. So cute! I love how it turned out!

Oreo Cake

Yum, yum, yum!! That's what I have to say about this cake! It was so good! I had a lot of fun making these cakes. My friend had an oreo themed 1st birthday party for her little boy. He is a HUGE fan of oreos!!

I found these cake pans that make an oreo cookie and I was so excited to get them!! There are so many options -- ice cream filled cake, cream cheese frosting, or changing the color of the frosting to match a holiday (Halloween, Easter, Christmas, etc). So much fun!

Anyways, for his party, I made 3 Oreo cakes. His cake to destroy was a Double Stuf Oreo -- my favorite! I made an ice cream filled one -- cookies and cream -- yum!! I also made one that was dairy free.

He was so cute when it was time to eat his cake -- it took a while for him to dig in, but once he did, he went for it!

Bob the Builder - #2

This is the second time I have made this cake and I was able to improve it so much! This is still one of my favorite cakes. My little boy loved it when I made it for him. I really like the bright colors -- they go really well together. I sure hope the little boy I made it for likes it!!

Cricut Cake Machine

I just found out about this new Cricut Cake Machine....it is awesome!! I want one so bad. It cuts out the fondant or gum paste. I would be able to make so many fun cakes with this!! Now, I just have to find the money for it.
