Monkeying around!

My friend was having a Curious George themed birthday party for her little boy. So of course we had to have a big yellow hat! For the hat, I just layered different sizes of round cakes and then carved it to the shape that I wanted. I covered it in yellow fondant and placed it on top of a yellow fondant circle.

These monkey cupcakes were super simple and a BIG hit with the kids! I'm pretty sure they were more excited about these than they were about the cake! They are simply frosted in chocolate buttercream then I cut mini Nilla wafers for the ears and cut a little piece off a regular Nilla wafer for the mouth. The eyes are M&M's with a dot of black frosting. So cute, so easy, so fast! Happy Birthday Jaden!

BZZZZZ!

What a cute cake for a sweet lady who loves collecting beehives! It was constructed simply by layering different sizes of round cakes (8"7"6"5"). The brown painted lines are food coloring. The flowers, ropes, and door are all fondant. The bees are just craft bees on wires. And the vines and leaves are buttercream. I placed it on a 10" square to give it more color and height.

This picture turned out really cute I thought. It looks like the bee really is buzzing around the cake! The cake flavor is Pineapple with a mild Pineapple buttercream.

SPLASH!

How cute is this?! I love the tile work on it. It's just a square cake (10"), covered in white fondant with blue and white tiles over the top of it. The step handles are fondant covered wire. The Life-saver and Beach ball are fondant/gumpaste. The water is Piping gel tinted blue.

Okay so I have to say first, the teapot is a toy! I didn't make it...I wish I did, but I didn't. This cake was actually simpler than it looks. It has a fondant/gumpaste bow on the front. It's a 10 inch round cake topped with a bowl cake(cooked in a pyrex bowl). Have I said how much I love the Grass Tip! It makes such great borders and adds so much detail to a cake. Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Red Ribbon and Polka Dots

This cake has tiny white polka dot clusters all over it. The ribbon is Satin. I love these flowers! This picture makes it look like the top two tiers are about the same size but they aren't. This was a Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake with Vanilla buttercream and white fondant with royal icing dots. It's a 14"-9"-6". This is my new cake stand!!! YAY!
