Another Dora Cake

I had an order for a Dora cake for the 4th birthday of a darling little girl. When I was talking to her about what she wanted on her cake she mentioned she wanted Dora to have backpack on her back. So I found a picture showing backpack and went with that design. She also requested that she have chocolate cake and pink frosting.

Here is the cake. I still can’t quite nail Dora’s facial features, I am not sure why, but I will have to keep working on it. When I was taking pictures I realized I had forgotten Dora’s cowlick – so I quick added it.

Cake Balls Galore

In addition to the cakes I made last week I also continued to experiment with cake ball combination. I was not thrilled with the yellow cake/milk chocolate frosting/dark chocolate shell, so I thought I would try something new. Here are a couple of the chocolate ones. I decided on a cherry cake/cherry frosting/dark chocolate shell. Here is the outside of one.And the inside – see that moist cake!! I also tried a carrot cake/cream cheese frosting/white chocolate shell. Here are some of the white chocolate covered cake balls.

Here is the inside of the carrot cake ones. I had some left over chocolate cake and butter cream frosting, my decorated cake stand by, so I threw those together and added a white chocolate shell. This is what these look in the inside.So far the verdict is that the carrot cake one were the best, but they all were good.

Hmmm….there might just be something to this Cake Ball thing…….

Hello Kitty Supersized

I had an order for a Hello Kitty cake for a little who was turning 6 and wanted to bring it in as a birthday treat. The cake needed to feed 25, so I went with a half of sheet cake, which meant Hello Kitty’s head was going to pretty big.

Here is the cake. From the side. Here is the birthday girl and her class enjoying the cake.

Twilight – take 2

I had an order for a twilight cake and this time I added an apple to it, from the cover of one of the books. This was what I had intended to do on the first one, but ran out of time. Here is the final product. Here is the cake including the sides with the red stripe at the bottom. A close up on the side. I have another order this week for a Hello Kitty cake to feed 25 – pictures will be up soon.
