Curious George

  I was recently asked to make a cake for a friend's lil boy's 2nd birthday party. I was excited to find out it was a Curious George cake! My youngest son has loved George forever. I made a small chocolate cake and frosted it with yellow butter cream. I  made the tree and  tree leaves out of gum paste before I had made the cake allowing them to dry before hand. I dyed the gum paste then shaped the tree over a straw. After it dried I painted more food coloring on it for a more realistic look. I then made the balloons, the hat,the bananas, and letters out of fondant.  After all the things were dry and the cake was frosted I added everything and I was so excited to see how great it turned out!! They added Curious when they got to their location! I was pleased they were happy with it!

4th Of July Cake

I made an awesome cake for the 4th of July. I got the idea from a fellow blogger and made the interior of the cake layered to look like the American flag. I then decorated with cookies and candy stars. I made sugar cookies and drizzled them with colored powered sugar icing, then added them to the bottom of the cake. I also frosted some cookies and added colored sugar and used them as the topper to the cake. I was trying to create the look of fireworks bursting on top but didnt get the effect I was going for. It tasted great and was all gone by the end of the day!!
