Barney and Friends Cake (and Modeling Chocolate & RKT Recipes)

A Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop cake for little Evan who turned 1.  Although I find Barney quite annoying, after playing a couple episodes to get an idea of what the dinosaurs looked like and to capture all their little details, my own 3 year old now loves Barney too, and requests to watch it EVERY day...oh well!  He does have very catchy songs that kids love singing along.

Mad Hatter Hat Cake

My niece tuned 9 and wanted, "Eat Me" Petits Fours for her birthday party.  Now, as being an aunty who happens to be into cake decorating, how am I just supposed to just show up with a try of mini cakes when I have been itching to get her hands dirty, and try making the Mad Hatter Hat in CAKE!  So, I surprised her.  Not only did I make the hat, but I also made cake truffles with all the left over cake pieces from carving the hat out.

Tennis Court Cake

I made this for my Father-in-law who plays tennis daily.  Last year I made a tennis racket, this year the tennis court, next year...hmmm, it'll most likely be tennis related.  I've been wanting to make a pair of sneakers but didn't have any time and I had to do a much simpler cake.

Update: I did make him a sneaker cake and the tutorial can be found under, Tennis Shoe Cake.

Super Mario Bros Cake (and Oreo IMBC Recipe)

This was a cake I designed to pull together all the birthday boy's requested characters: Bowser, Mario, Luigi, and Goomba's.  The storyline was laid out around the cake: Bowser chased Mario and Luigi out of Bowser's Castle, and while the brothers ran, they caught super stars and a mega mushroom, as they aimed toward the warp pipe to escape from Bowser.
