Mermaid Barbie Birthday Cake

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Children’s birthday parties are like no other event I do…the reaction they give is priceless and they make me love the job I have even more. This little girl in particular really wanted a mermaid cake, but she let her mom know that the mermaid NEEDED to be a barbie doll. She knew exactly what she wanted and her sweet mother made her wish come true….I was just glad I could help them out!

The cake tiers were buttermilk cake with lemon cream and fresh raspberries and buttermilk cake with chocolate ganache, fresh strawberries, and white chocolate ganache. I then buttercreamed both tiers and covered them in colored fondant

The next job was to cover barbie’s you-know-what with cute little shells. I never thought I would be making a shell bra for barbie when I got into this business!

I then made some gray rocks for barbie to sit around and plunged her into the sea of cake. I know that you can buy barbies that only have the top half of their body for cakes, but since I had this new barbie already and she matched the blonde hair and blue eyes I needed I just used her. I did have to give her some nubs and cut her legs off below the knee, but thankfully I was smart enough to tell the mother not to pull Barbie out in front of the kids since I didn’t want them to experience a decapitated barbie!

I made her a green fondant tale and used the sharp part of a round cookie cutter to make the grooves in her tale.

Then to finish off the cake I made little sea life creatures and plants to make it more interesting. To make the cake shimmer I used my airbrush gun to spray pearl luster dust on the whole cake. For the sand I mixed together brown sugar, short bread crumbs, and demerara sugar crystals.

Here are some photos of the cake when I dropped it off and the adorable little girl who got to have it!

This was such a fun cake to make and the family I brought it to couldn’t have been sweeter!

Well, I couldn’t leave you without showing you some more photos of the process of my dessert studio, so here they are! This one is me in my very own soon-to-be office. It is small, but at least it is all mine!

The middle wall has has been constructed, the plumbing in the kitchen finished, the cement poured, and the electrical passed! This happened all in a week and a half…isn’t my dad AMAZING! Thanks to my uncle too for the electrical!

Now onto gutting and re-doing the bathroom…you can do it dad!

And lastly here is the hubby and I one night when we came to check out the work that had been done…boy are we excited!!!

Lots of Goodies

Monday, March 16th, 2009

LIfe as usual is quite busy! I have so many random photos of different orders that I have recently done, so I thought I would just do a post and shove them all in here! They were all a lot of fun to do and I hope you enjoy the photos! Definitely give me your feedback if you have a chance…I love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

First off is a recent wedding that I did. They venue was the Marvimon in Los Angeles…definitely my favorite venue yet! If you are getting married in the Southern California area you have to check them out! The bride and groom were such a pleasure to work with and I absolutely loved their whole wedding look! The bride looked gorgeous (I am so bummed I didn’t get a photo of here in her adorable dress)! The cake was buttermillk cake with lemon cream filling and fresh raspberries. The cake was covered in vanilla buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers, black satin ribbon, and tiny white dots.

As you can see from the photo, the middle tier is twice the size of a normal tier. It is basically two separate cakes stacked on top of each other and dowelled in the middle. Then I just frosted it as one cake tier. It is cut the same way you would cut any other cake…you just cut the first cake and then take off the cardboard base and continue cutting the next cake.

For their favors they decided to go with cake ball lollipops. They choose buttermilk cake dipped in white chocolate and red velvet cake dipped in dark chocolate. We then bagged and tied all 115 bags and put their monogram on the front. I think these are such a great wedding favor and are quite tasty too!

These next treats were made for some of our corporate clients. We printed their logo on edible frosting sheets and then placed them on our delicious sugar cookies and also made matching cupcakes to go with them. For the cupcakes we placed the edible frosting sheet on a disc of fondant to give it stability.

This next cupcake was done for a friend of my sister’s. She threw her friend a graduation party and wanted some cupcakes for the celebration. I will be selling these fabulous liner’s along with many others on my website shortly! If you want to order some right away just leave me a comment and I can email you all the information.

This next cupcake is from a small birthday order that I did. I used a chocolate transfer sheet to get the fun design on top and then just colored the frosting and added some sugar sparkle to finish the look off.

This cake was made for one of my little brother’s friends. He had a rock climbing birthday party and his mom wanted to surprise him with a fun cake to go along with it! Here is a quick photo demo of how I did it.

And lastly, this final cake my sister and I made for an auction at my old high school. The cake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting and then I covered the cakes in white fondant. My sister made the gorgeous sugar flower and decorated the cake with black fondant lace.
