Retro Rocket cake for a 1 yr. old

The latest cake was a delicious lemon cake with a vanilla buttercream and minimal fondant. This 2D cake was made for a one-year old but was primarily meant to be enjoyed by the adults at the party. 

Simple in design, this cake was such a joy to work on. As an added bonus I got to try out one of the photographic backdrops I made to document it. 

A "Smash Cake" for a 1 yr. old

I'm so thrilled to show you these photos of a cake I did recently. I created a "smash cake" for a client to help her mark her son's first birthday. These types of cakes are used as a prop for baby photographers and the resulting photos are usually a hilarious and adorable.
 I was lucky enough to have my cake photographed by the very talented Deanna Nilson. Be sure to check out her website as she does a whole variety of photography. 

Finding Nemo "Squirt" birthday cake for a one-year old

The latest cake order I had was so much fun! This order was for a little boys first birthday and I was to make a 3D "Squirt" turtle Cale in red velvet along with 6 large fondant decorated turtle cupcakes and 50 mini buttercream covered cupcakes in the shape turtles. This order took quite a bit of planning but I'm really thrilled with how it turned out.

When the client picked up the cake she seemed happy with what I created and it just so happened that they were holding the birthday party at where I work my day job. Later I was able to talk to the server who did the party and see if everyone liked the cake. My co-worker's eyes went big and she said,"You made that cake?! I took pictures of it because I've never seen a cake like that before." Nice! I asked if there were any leftovers and she told me, "No. I was hoping she would leave me a little cupcake but she didn't." My kids complained of the same thing.

Happy 1st birthday Joshua. I had fun making your cake.
