Home Sweat Home!

Hey, this was for a party that the theme was "Trailer Trash". I had way too much fun with the details on this. And there was so much more that I wanted to do. Every trailer has to have a "fRee kiTTeNs" hand-written sign and a mailbox "planted" in tires, right?:) Oh, and you can't forget the misspelled "home 'sweat' home" sign posted on the front of the house.

I decided to dress it up a bit with some broken lattice made out of chocolate to hide the truck trailer that the house is sitting on. The stairs are also chocolate that I melted, cooled and cut into the sizes I needed.

The concrete blocks, mailbox, tires, and kittens sign are all hand made with fondant and/or gum paste.

The cake itself is 6 6inch square cakes with a strip of rice crispy treats about in the middle of the trailer to make it a bit longer. It was Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream. I then covered it in fondant and used fondant and buttercream for the details. Theme cakes are so much more time consuming but so much fun to do. I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud while coming up with this one.

Joe's Pizza Cake!

I wanted to take something to Joe's work since he had to work ALL day on his actual birthday, so I decided on a pizza cake and pizza. This was very simple to make and it turned out really cool. Then I just went to our favorite pizza joint for a clean box to put it in. It's a yellow cake with red buttercream. I shaved white and yellow candy melts on top for a "Cheese" effect. The pepperoni is cherry fruit leather. The peppers and olives are also candy melts that I did ahead of time.

Joe's Brithday Car!

Joe drives a Galant VR4 and LOVES his car! So of course I gave him a VR4 cake for his birthday.
