Fish theme cake

I enjoyed making this ocean/fish theme birthday cake for my nephew Bryson. Happy 1st b-day bud! It took me two day's to bake the cake frost the two layers, make all the little pieces all by hand color the fondant each and every shade on this cake. I would say a total of 10 hours. I'm still new at this, one day I'll be able to say it only took me 4 hours. It's my fave moist chocolate fluff cake with milk chocolate frosting and Marshmallow (MM) fondant for the blue ocean and all the other sea urchins and fish
The sand is just ground up vanilla wafers. Yumm!


I always say if I was a fish I'd want to be a sting-ray. The swim like their flying and with such swag!

I love my blow fish











I would charge anywhere from $60-$80 for this cake. But it was my b-day present for Bry.

Animal Baby Shower theme

I had fun making this moist Chocolate cake with a animal theme for baby Mason's Shower. It's covered in MM Fondant, all the animals are made out of MM Fondant as well. I didn't have a monkey cookie cutter so that was free hand. I don't have the best free hand writting as you can see. Note to self buy letter prints and letter molds for future cakes. All in all that cake was a big hit at the shower.










I would charge anywhere from $40-50 for this cake.

MM Fondant and Gum paste flowers

This was for Ana-Julia's 1st Birthday party. I didn't have all the right tools for stacking the cake so with the travel to the birthday party the cake had a slight tilt. I was so embarrassed when it was put out for every one to see. But I must say not to shabby for my 3rd cake.




The flowers was all free hand, I didn't have the right cookie cutters for the vision I had so I cut eat and every layer for each flower. One thing I think I learned about gum paste is the coloring... you need alot of food safe coloring to get the color you want. I wanted them to be alot richer. But when I got to the party I say the flowers there were light so it fit right in.



Marta (Ana-Julia's Mom) said every one loved the cake, even if it was tilting to one side...lol! I hope to have more cakes to make in the future. This is a costly hobby but it sure is fun to learn!!!

Thanks Marta and Keone for supporting my cake making hobby!


I would chagre around $80-100 for this cake
