Minnie Mouse 3rd Birthday!

Yesterday we celebrated my cousin Willow's 3rd birthday! This year has sure flown by, if you remember, I made the farm animal cupcakes/cake for her 2nd birthday last year. Willow sure looked cute in her little Minnie Mouse dress! I made a Confetti cake with strawberry buttercream and decorated it in pink fondant with polka dots, ruffle trim, big bow and ears. Of course, the iconic Disney font for the '3' too! The cupcakes were chocolate and vanilla with strawberry buttercream. I used freeze dried strawberries for the colour/flavour, no artificial dyes :)

Olaf Frozen Cake

Being a fan of the movie Frozen, I was happy to get a request for an Olaf cake! This was requested by a 'big kid' for her birthday (my chef's wife). For those who don't know who Olaf is (where have you been?), he's a funny little snowman who happened to lose his head at one point in the movie, hence the inspiration for this cake.  I added some shimmer to the fondant to give it a 'frozen' look, and even used real sticks for his arms and hair.  The cake flavour is definitely for adults.... Pink Champagne with Raspberry Buttercream. Delish!

Skylander's Birthday Cake & Cupcakes

When I was asked to do a Skylanders cake, I had no idea what that was! After some research, I discovered its very popular with kids right now, and this turned out to be one of my fave cakes to make!  Jericho wanted the character Spyro on top of the portal. I made the little banner from printing a logo and adding his name, then attaching it to paper straws. I also did the same with the 'element' icons for each cupcake. This cake/cupcake is Red Velvet with cream cheese icing! Yum!
