Happy 50th Birthday...Tony's Mom :)

Well this is my first attempt at a loop bow and I have to say that is was a success! This cake took a long time to make. I started 2 weeks ahead making the flowers. Once they were completed, I moved over to the loops of the bows and then the Happy Birthday tag. I must say I was super worried that the concept was not going to work but it did.

My friend Tony asked if I could make him a Strawberry Shortcake with cream filling but I ended up making a Lemon Pound Cake with strawberries and lemon curd buttercream filling. Everyone was really happy with the cake which was good since this is the first time I made this combo of cake/filling.

Happy 2nd Birthday Amadeo

M...I...C........K....E...Y.... M...o..u..s..e.... Mickey Mouse...

This was a super fun cake to make and super yummy. My friend Susan asked me to make a banana cake for her son with the Mickey Mouse theme. The cake turned out great and was a great hit. I was really happy with the banana cake recipe I used. It was moist, soft and really special with cream cheese filling. yum yum.. It makes me want to eat cake...





Here is a close up of the Mickey Mouse that I made. This was the first time that I attempted to make a Mickey Mouse out of gum paste/fondant combo. It was interesting and a little challenging but I think it came out pretty good.
