This cake was for a little boy who LOVES his construction toys. The whole party was construction themed. He even had a bulldozer piñata to smash.
The cake is chocolate with vanilla buttercream. It was super moist and chocolatey.

First Birthday
I made this fun cake for a baby’s first birthday. The request was for a lemon cake with strawberry filling, with a baby Dumbo and balloons.
I made Dumbo by painting a fondant piece with edible paint. And the balloons are all buttercream icing.
Yum!

Blue and Silver Wedding
I made another wedding cake.
The couple sketched the cake themselves and I executed it.
Here was the sketch. When we spoke in person, we changed up some of the colors and reordered their initials (the bride comes first).
And here’s the cake!
It was a vanilla cake with vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream frosting and Sugar Plum jam filling.
