Classic, Elegant Rose Cake - Gumpaste Rose

Though this cake was little, only a 6", it took me hours to make! All the petals on the outside of the cake are made from gumpaste. They were cut, then using an impression mat, veined and then each edge of every petal was rolled to make them look realistic. I had to make the pedals a few days in advance as the cake had to be refrigerated and I didn't want the pedals to go limp from any moisture in the fridge.

 

The gumpaste rose topper was made the same way as the petals on the sides of the cake. I had to make each petal individually and then bend and attach it to the rose.

Buttercream Painted Nature Cake

I was so scared to try painting on buttercream icing! I had painted on fondant before but NEVER buttercream.

I was asked to make a Nature cake and had free reign on the design. I love to paint so I thought I would try to paint a scene on this cake.

The chairs on top are made from fondant. These are the first 'Muskoka Chairs' I have made from fondant they were a little tricky BUT they turned out!

 All side of the cake were painted by hand using vodka and food gels.

My best friends little guy just turned 2! CRAZY!!! I was super busy with orders that weekend so she asked if I could make a few cupcake toppers for her and few cake pops in an Elmo theme. She baked the cake for the cake pops and all the cupcakes.

The cake pops were very fun to make, VERY time consuming as there were so many steps to get him to look 'fury' but well work it :)

 

 

My Little Pony Cake | Rainbow Dash Cake | Girls 5th Birthday Cake | My Little Pony Party

My youngest daughter just turned the BIG 5!!!! She is so in love with My Little Pony especially Rainbow Dash!
Not only was this her 5th birthday it was her first birthday that she got to invite her school friends! She was so excited to celebrate her birthday with all her favorite people.

My challenge was to pull off a fun party for 5 year olds, one with a peanut allergy and not break the bank!!

First thing I figured out were the games! The kids really loved both games but the balloon pop game was the favorite! We put little erasers, Jolly Ranchers, My Little Pony Tattoos and some peanut free hard candies into the balloons and blew them up. We pinned them on a cork board and each child got to pop two balloons. If you do this let the balloons sit out in the sun for 20 mins or so before you start popping them...it makes them WAY easier to pop. We used a magic wand with a tac hot glued to the end to pop the balloons.

 

 Pin the tail on Rainbow Dash. I printed a large picture of Rainbow Dash and taped it all together and got my Daughter to colour it in. I bought curly ribbons that you put on presents and taped them onto magnets!

We had a house full of people and it was sunny out, a little chilly but sunny so we had the party mostly outside!

I used mason jars and filled them with water and used food gels to dye the water into different colors. I bought some white daisies and Voilà simple center pieces. I also hit up the Bulk Bran and bought some rainbow candies and rainbow twizzlers which are peanut free!!

I also made Pony ears and unicorn horn headbands for all the kids to wear at the party.

 

 

 Rainbow fruit tray!!

Rainbow Cupcakes - Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream with rainbow sugar licorice.

 

The birthday girl in her shirt that I made with her rainbow cupcake :)

 

 

Here is he beautiful birthday girl in her custom made Rainbow Dash outfit with the ears and horn we made. Little Birds Tutus & Boutique, which is my other little side business, made the tutu set

This is the cake that I made for the family party we had later in the evening. The 8" cake is a chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream filling. The rainbow balls around the outside are gum balls, the rainbow on top is fondant and the pony on top is one of Olivia's figurines.

 

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!
