Sesame Treats

These are Cookie Monsters, Elmos, and Oscar the Grouches for a 3 year old birthday party.  I used Oreo cookies and Chips Ahoy for the mouths, marshmallows for the eyes, and DOTS for Elmo's nose.

 This Abby Cadabby cake was also for the 3 year old's birthday party.  The Abby Cadabby figure is made out of gum paste and is all edible although I don't think she would taste that good :)

"Gotta catch 'em all"

Well, I had my first order for a cake this week.  It was lots of fun to make.  My friend from school asked me to do a cake for her son's 17th birthday.  She decided on a strawberry cake with vanilla icing and wanted it to have a Pokemon theme.  I really knew nothing about Pokemon so I had to do some research to come up with an idea.  I settled on doing a three tiered cake.  The bottom tier was done with two 10 in square cakes, the middle was three 8 in round cakes and the top was done with a ball cake pan.  Each layer was strawberry with a vanilla buttercream center.  I covered each tier in fondant, but I did something a little different.  I made some modeling chocolate and kneaded a 1/3 chocolate and 2/3 fondant.  This made the fondant taste a little better than it normally does.  I proceeded to cover the bottom two tiers with blue fondant and yellow starts.  The round ball cake on top was made into the Pokeman ball from the cartoon.  I had so much fun working on this cake and hope that Bryan (the birthday boy) really enjoyed it.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN :)
