Minnie Mouse

I have Minnie Mouse on the brain lately since our Disney trip is less than a month away! I was so excited to do this cute, cute Minnie Mouse cake for Audrey's 3rd birthday!! Love the colors and the accents.


The bottom tier and the Minnie hat are both strawberry cake covered in fondant. The bottom alternates the white/black zebra print with a pink/white polka dot and a black/white polka dot. Cute, cute!!!

Hello Kitty

We combined several different ideas to come up with this cake. The bottom tier is dark chocolate fudge.  The top tier is french vanilla.The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant. 

The stripes on the bottom tier were made to match the border around the plates for the party.

Rapunzel's Tower and dress

This is probably the tallest cake that I've built so far. I tried to replicate Rapunzel's tower pretty closely, however I added some brighter coloring to it.


The grass part is french vanilla cake. The tower is rice krispie treasts. All covered and accented with fondant.  Painted with lustre dust to shimmer. The concrete blocks showing through the broken part of the tower is my favorite!!

I also did Rapunzel's dress. The cake was strawberry and it was covered in fondant. I had to tie her hair up in a ziploc baggie "hair net" to keep it out of the cake while decorating!!

Fun!!

Minnie Mouse

This is the same Minnie Mouse face cake that I did before. This one is for sweet Ellie's birthday, and the one I did 2 years ago (can't believe it has been that long) was for her older sister, Sophie. I love that they had the same cake for their 2nd birthdays.

This cake is french vanilla. It is covered in buttercream. The bow is fondant, as well as the pink and white polka dotted strip around the outside of the cake. 


Tangled Cupcakes

I saw these Tangled cupcakes on Pinterest and since my little girl wanted a Tangled birthday cake I decided to do these for her class at school.


Most of these were french vanilla that I tinted pink (of course) and baked in ice cream cones. Three of them are dark chocolate fudge since I had some batter left over from another cake. The accents on the cones are fondant and the little flowers are sprinkles. Topped with purple buttercream icing. 

Nutella Cupcakes

These are dark chocolate fudge cupcakes filled with nutella and topped with nutella buttercream icing. My new favorite. This was probably the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.


Red Velvet Rose Cake

This rose cake is red velvet with cream cheese icing that I made for a fundraiser at Taelyn's school. I didn't spend a ton of time on the roses because I had to slice it and package each slice individually.
