Polly Pocket Pool Party


This cake was for a friend of the family. I loved making this cake with the jello as the pool. I had to make two batches of jello because the first one set up so fast and I wasn't done icing the cake! No worries there was no waste... the kids ate it LOL. I learned that next time I will make jello to go on the side for the party. Everyone wanted some of the jello. We just cut the cake so that anyone who wanted jello got a piece of it. 2010

Daisies


My daughter, Maegan, is a Daisy in Girl Scouts. So I made this one for the Girl Scout Birthday party they had. I really enjoyed this one. The center of the flowers have each of the girl's names in them. The flower in the middle is designed from the daisy patch that the girls get to earn for there uniforms. The colored sugar was just dyed sugar to get the right colors. My kids loved helping with that part. After the sugar had been on the cake, about 6 hours, it became glossy due to the moisture of the icing. So cool. 2010

Gargyll


Another WoW, World of Warcraft, cake for my bro-in-law. His character that he played was a hunter, named Gargyll, and the pet's name was, Yes Dear. 2009

Scooby and Daddy's Boat


Colby is my youngest son and loves daddy's boat. He can find any boat that is around. The "water" is the gigglers jello recipe and there are swedish fish in the water. This was made from one 1/2 sheet of cake but there was a bunch left over. So I just put his favorite dog on the top of a simple tiered cake. 2009

In the Fall


I came up with this one for a teacher that was new to the school and was going to be getting married soon or was just married. I can't remember now... hehe. 2009

Lu Bear


Trying to be simple, I think I might have over did this one, but it is still cute. I made this for my younger daughter, Talulah, that we nicknamed Lu Bear. My favorite bear on there is the one on the left, holding the Happy 1st Birthday banner. I added the butterfly to her tush... too cute! 2009

Princess Maegan


The Illuinated Princess Cake, for my daughter, Maegan's 5th birthday. I soooo LOVE this one. After sreaching for a castle cake online, I of course had to designed my own. The pillars/turrets are made of crisp rice cereal treats, tinted pink. I just rolled them out, in parchment paper, and scrunched and rolled to get them to the shape. The roof of the turrets are just sugar cones. The door is cut from the top part, for the shininess, of the cake when it was leveled. 2009
