Logo Cake

A friend of mine wanted to celebrate her massage therapy company's 4th year of being in business. She wanted me to create her logo on the cake. This might have been one of the hardest things I have ever tried to do. Lettering and logos have to really look right for folks to know what it is. :) I did what I could to make it look just like the logo. She liked it and there was only a small piece left so I would call it a success. :)

Princess Party

My daughter and her friend had a princess party at one of the jump places. She wanted a Cinderella Carriage. To make this cake I used the Wilton- Sport Ball Pan. I took creative liberty on this and made it pink.

Some issues I had with this one... I tried to make the wheels and driver seats out of royal icing and they broke. I will need to explore using Royal icing more. :) Then I tried to make it out of white chocolate and that broke. last minute I went with the pip cleaners! 

I added the girls initials on the door for some a little fun touches. :)

The second cake my daughter didn't care what it was as long at it stayed in the princess theme! I love the idea of getting to do whatever I want...I just wish I had more time to plan for it. Instead I put icing to cake and came up with this:

Three layers: Two 10 inch and one 6 inch. Then I got a plastic crown to put on the top.... 

The girls loved the cakes and that is all that matters! :)

NinjaGo Sleepover

with only 30 hours to plan and execute...Saturday we had our son's 8th birthday party. He wanted a NinjaGo sleepover. So, around 5pm, on Saturday, 8 boys arrived for a Ninja adventure!
I had planned games but was surprised how they entertained themselves most of the night.

The cake: Two Lego heads... One with the Ninja head gear and one yellow head. We made these with the Stand -up Jack-o-lantern Pan from Wilton. The yellow head we added a lg marshmallow cut in half.

The Juice packets- Found this supper cool cupcake image that I taped to the juice packet.: http://foodartparty.blogspot.com/2010/08/ninja-cupcake-wrappers.html

Treats table:

• The rice crispy treats Sushi (found on many sites)- Fruit by the foot, Swedish fish and rice crispy treats
• Marshmallow White Ninjas (my hubby's idea)- yellow and dark chocolate icing (Kids LOVED and supper simple)
• Chocolate covered Fortune cookies: http://vixenmade.blogspot.com/2012/03/ninjago-party-feature.html My daughter (almost 5) did these in a few mins! They looked great on the table and were a lot of fun for the kids to eat and read their fortunes!
• The normal veggies, fruit and chips also offered and was proud to see the kids picking veggies over other treats! (one little tip- While we waited for friends to arrive and for things to start I allowed them to eat  the Veggies and Fruit  first :) )

We had clues for them to find the headbands and the Ninjago booster packets for every boy. They had fun searching for them! We had other games but the boys mostly wanted to play with the Nerf  guns, Beyblades and Wii so I just let them enjoy what they wanted to do.

It seemed that all the boys had fun! It was the first sleepover for all the boys to sleep over so we felt good about that :)

Pokemon cake for DS

My son is so into Pokemon so this year we had to make a Pokeball and Pikachu. The kids loved the cake. This one sure had it's issues. The ball was going to be 3-D but that didn't work out so I adjusted and just decorated half of it ;). Pikachu was fun to make! I created my own stencil and free handed the Lighting bolts.

Tangled cakes for my DD and her Friend
