Stella Beer & Tacos Cake

This cake was specially made for one of my best friend's 30th.  I wanted a unique cake that represented some of her favorite things.  With suggestions and help from our other friends, we thought that beer and tacos would be perfect!  The expression on her face when she saw the cake was priceless!  She was absolutely in love with the cake!

Stella Artois is her favorite beer.  The bottle is hand carved and shaped into a bottle.  It is almond cake and is filled with chocolate ganache and sliced almonds.  The cake is coated with chocolate frosting and is covered with green fondant.

One of her favorite fast food is Taco Bell and she loves tacos.  They are made with Rice Krispies Treats.  I used chocolate frosting to cover the Rice Krispies to imitate the ground beef.  The sour cream is buttercream frosting and the cheese and lettuce are fondant.  I didn't put any tomatoes on the tacos because she doesn't eat tomatoes.  The taco wrappers were from Taco Bell.  Sent the dear husband on a mission to get me a couple and they kindly gave him a few.  

Close up on some of the details.  The Stella logos are edible prints.  I used edible markers for the birthday message and the black specks on the taco shells.  The gold lines are hand painted using luster dust.

Candy & Sweets Cake

 How cute is this cake?  This cake was for a little girl's 1st birthday.  This cake is my version of the Puerto Rican "wet" cake (soaked with a simple syrup flavored with brandy).  It is filled with almond buttercream.  The cake is covered in fondant and the border is piped using buttercream.

All the candy and sweet details are made with fondant and gum paste.  

The ice cream topper is completely edible.  The ice cream bowl is made out of gum paste.  The ice cream scoops are made out of rice krispies treats and then covered with fondant.  It is garnished with whipped cream, adorable cherries, hot fudge (all made out of fondant) and is topped off with chocolate sprinkles.

The chocolate truffle, the colorful lollipops and the chocolate bar are all hand made out of fondant.  The chocolate truffle is topped off with chocolate sprinkles.

Under the Sea Baby Shower Cake

This Under the Sea themed cake was especially made for my friends' baby shower.  It is decorated with adorable sea creatures, corals, shells, and sand.  I truly enjoyed designing and making this cake for them.  The parents to be and the guests absolutely loved the cake!

The cake is covered with light blue fondant.  When I was coloring the light blue fondant, I added in a bit of turquoise color to give it that water/swirled effect.  The shark and the dolphin are hand made out of gum paste.  I used fondant to make the rest: the sea turtle, fishes, starfishes, corals, shells, etc.  The sand is made out of crushed cookies.  Graham crackers works real well but I used Maria cookies instead (by Iberia).

Here's the another view of the cake.

The cake flavor is dark chocolate cake w/ creamy peanut butter buttercream.  You can't go wrong with that flavor combination.  The cake was moist and delicious.  It was a hit!
