Jack Skellington Birthday Cake

Here is a quick post for the latest birthday cake I've done. The request was a simple Jack Skellington (from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas) cake. I'd say this is pretty good! ;-)

I've also decided to share the photo of the cake before decorating. It was a little crafty work and cutting to put this guy together.

Elmo Birthday Cake

Here is the latest cake I made. Elmo is made from Rice Krispy Treats and Royal Icing. He was a challenge, but it all came together well in the end.

A few birthday cakes...

Here are a few of the latest cakes I've done. 

Zombie Birthday Cake

The Zombies are COMING! 

The latest cake I've done for a birthday. My best friend loves Zombies so I did this for her birthday. She and everyone at the party love it. :-)

Lego Cake 2

Here is another Lego cake that I did last week.

Angry Birds Birthday Cake

My latest cake...Angry Birds! I took the Knock on Wood game and made it into a cake. :-)

Happy Birthday Grandma

First Birthday Cake ... Happy BDay Payton!

It's hard to believe how fast time passes sometimes. It's been a year since I made the Welcome Baby Payton cake. She is now 1! Here are the photos of her mini cake, the Tinkerbell cake, and Lil Miss Payton so delicately eating the cake. We were so hoping she would just smash into the cake...didn't happen. I've never seen a kid eat cake so politely. She's just too adorable!

Camera Cake! (My first 3D cake)

So here is a quick post on my first 3D cake. It was a tricky one to do. It didn't turn out perfect but I don't think it's horrible. And the Birthday Boy was happy with it so that's all that really matters. 


I had planned on posting a tutorial to go along with this camera cake because there really aren't many online. However, I had so much trouble trying to get it done. There was no way I could take photos along the way. I still have a lot to learn about fondant. I love the way fondant looks but man is it difficult to deal with sometimes. I really think it was the thickness that was my problem. And I really shouldn't have tried to use one piece to cover the whole cake. DUH!


All that aside, I managed to get a decent cake out of the adventure. Here are a few photos...

I used sugar to make the lens and flash.

The picture was just printed off the computer and then laminated. I attached it with royal icing.
