Race Car Theme 1st Birthday Cake

 

I made this race car theme cake for a special little boy, I have been making cakes for this

family for many years now.

All the details of the cake matched the party invitation, I love the color combo of red, black and light blue.

The #1 cake topper and the flags are made with gumpaste for stability.

 Everything else is fondant.

Nautical/Mini Crab theme birthday cake

 

What a fun cake was this one to make! I have said it before, I love making colorful cakes, and this is a color palette that I adore.

I have made a similar cake before, just smaller, and my client wanted something similar, just bigger. Well, bigger is always better. 

 

The details on the cake were made with a mix of fondant and tylose to make them a little extra firm, but not too hard.

I made the boat with gumpaste days in advance the delivery date to make sure it was going to be completely dry the day I need it.

I like using candy melts to attach big cake toppers to my cakes.

  This is the smash cake I made for the little boy.

Nautical Theme 1st Birthday Cake

 

One of the reasons I love making cakes is being part of special moments.

 I made this cake for a little boy turning 1, his mom had a Nautical theme party in mind and wanted a cake to match the party invitation and décor.

 

I didn't have cutters for the sizes of the elements that I needed to incorporate in the cake, so I got some templates online, printed them out in the size I need them and hand cut them .

 

 I did had a handy letter mold of the letters.

I used a Styrofoam ball to make the crab because I was short in time, but rice crispy treats will work great. For the crab I use all gumpaste.

 

I also made a little smash cake for the birthday boy.

Blush Pink Bird House Baptism Cake

I made this blush pink bird house cake for a 1st birthday and Baptism celebration a few weeks ago.

 The original design is by someone else, the mom sent me the picture of the cake and I was more than happy to make it as close looking as possible. 

I love how the little bird house turned out. I made it with rice krispy treats and gumpaste. 

For the birds, I ordered this Ateco Plain Coma cutter , it comes in different sizes and seems very useful for other cake design details. I made the tree template myself. 

I am not too fond of using fabric ribbon on cakes, but this was pretty simple and thin

 and it end up looking cute rather than bulky.
