So this simple and pretty cake is for my Mother-in-law's Birthday dinner tonight.  I saw this design online and loved the simplicity and delicacy of it.  I'll have to do it a few more times to get better but still liked how it turned out.  It's a lemon cake with a lemon/lemoncello simple syrup and a lemon/lemomcello buttercream.  Yumm!

XBOX Cake!!

So I got to do an XBOX cake for a client the other day.  This cake was actually a ton of fun to make.  I had never even seen an xbox so I relied alot on pictures from the xbox website.  It was a dark chocolate cake with a fudge filling and chocolate buttercream frosting.  Oh - and the shine would have gone down after the pictures were taken.  I had just done it and was zipping it off to the clients but I normally leave the cake for a few hours before photographing it if I'm adding shine.

Brand New Baby Boy

A dear old family friend called me up to ask for a cake for a wonderful neighbor of theirs that had recently had a baby boy.  This was a family of girls (3 big sisters!) and so I was asked to make this cake something that they would love just as much as it would celebrate a little brother.  I was given complete creative freedom on this one as well - which I love!  But it can also been a bit intimidating if your plan isn't quite what they had had in mind.  I did get this idea from another cake blogger and changed it enough to reflect my vision of the cake.  The nest was fun to make - it was made out of fondant and filled with toasted coconut.  The cake was a dark chocolate cake with a (REALLY YUMMY) raspberry filling and Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

St. Patrick's Day Fun

I was hired to make 175 mini cupcakes for my sisters company, Critical Mass, for their St. Patrick's Day celebration.  I was given pretty much free reign on what I wanted to do for flavors and decorations.  Following the St. Patty's day tradition of lots and lots of drinking I started with Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes.  There were a Guiness infused dark chocolate cake with an Irish Whiskey Genache Filling and a Baileys Buttercream frosting.  CAN YOU SAY MMMMMM???  I got the recipe here if anyone wants to re-create them!  Sooo good!  The second cupcake that I made was a Grand Marnier infused Vanilla Bean Cupcake with a Grand Marnier Vanilla Simple Syrup and a Grand Marnier Vanilla Bean Buttercream.  These were so light and fresh tasting...mmmm again!

Another Cars Party!!

I made these cupcakes for a little mans birthday party.  I have got to say, I can't believe I get paid to have so much fun!

Double Party!

So this cake was for a great friend whose husband was turning 38 the same time that they were welcoming a beautiful little girl into their family.  It was a quick HEY WE NEED A CAKE, Cake!  Lol...how fun to combine motorcycles and 8 year old artsy fartsiness!  (Ya, it's a word, check the Hayley dictionary!)

LEGO CAKE!!

So this was a crazy lego cake for my favorite little man in the whole world...who just so happens is completely addicted to lego!!  And no lego cake is complete without a legoman and his fiercely scary helmet!  I saw in primary colors for a week after this cake...sigh...

 The little lego men were made out of chocolate - painful and labor intensive!!

TOY STORY MANIA!!

This cake was an absolute BALL to make!  Marcie the mom really wanted to buy a toy Buzz and Woody to put on the cake and I can't complain as it decreased my work load this weekend by hours and hours!  So I started with making a variety of cupcakes for the kids - my favorites were the aliens and the Mr. and Mrs. P's!

 

After those babies were done I started the cake.  I loved this cake.  A couple mistakes and one VERY flopsy Woody later and this was the result.  My original plan was to have Woody coming out of the top of the cake but the toy was so flopsy that I couldn't make him stand!  I hope you love it...it seemed like the boys did!
