1st Birthday

This first birthday cake is white cake with white buttercream icing.

The letters and animals (that match the letters and animals on his invitation) are made out of royal icing.

The top layer is a single layer 5 inch cake just for the birthday boy- he really enjoyed smashing it up!

Thomas the Train

Thomas is a yellow and chocolate swirl cake.  Percy is chocolate.  Both are covered in vanilla buttercream.

Cinderella's Castle

 This cake was lots of fun to make!  

It is white cake, white buttercream and white fondant with royal icing flowers and vines.

Train #2

This train was for another niece's 3rd birthday.

Each car is a different cake flavor with buttercream and fondant.

The major difference between this train and the first train I did is the theme.  "A" wanted Minnie Mouse. 

Her mom found the little characters to place on the cake

and I got a little better at building an engine out of cake!

Trains

This cake was for my niece's 3rd birthday.  I have to admit here that it was my first attempt at a train.  But she loved it even though I saw lots of flaws!

I used several different cake flavors, buttercream, and marshmallow fondant.

As you can see, I was brave enough to tint the fondant with liquid food dye. (Don't forget gloves!)

Sesame Street

 

This was the first time I tried marshmallow fondant, my son's birthday, so I wasn't quite ready to color it.  I made chocolate and yellow cake and a buttercream icing.  I was brave enough to dye the buttercream.  

(And the birthday boy was brave enough to stick his finger in it when no one was looking!)

The best thing about this cake was that most people actually ate the fondant!

We were all quite surprised since fondant usually doesn't taste too good.
