Sock Monkey Birthday

My husband's cousin's daughter (got that? LOL) asked me to make a sock monkey cake for her little boy's first birthday. Well, two cakes actually. One for him to smash and one for everyone else to eat. It was a fun project. 

The cake was marble on the bottom with Bavarian cream filling, and chocolate on top with the same filling. It was finished in fondant.

The smash cake was half chocolate and half marble cake, with buttercream filling. It was finished in buttercream icing with fondant decorations.

Happy Birthday Boston!

"Girly" Elmo cake

Our former renter who had me do her little girl's first birthday cake last year had me do her second birthday cake this year! Mommy wanted a "girly" cake, Kaia wanted an Elmo cake. SO, we compromised - a "girly" Elmo cake.

The cake is a marble cake with Bavarian cream filling. It is finished in fondant, including the Elmo figure, with royal icing flowers.

Happy Birthday Kaia!

Poky Little Puppy Cake

I love doing cakes! I have been getting a lot of orders from word-of-mouth advertising. A big THANK YOU to all of you who recommend my services! 

This is the latest cake - another first birthday cake. The theme was The Poky Little Puppy book. I had the book growing up, and bought a new copy for reference that I will give to my boys now that the cake is done. It was a chocolate/white marble cake with Bavarian cream filling, finished with buttercream with fondant and royal icing accents.

Happy Birthday Larric!
