This weekend I had the pleasure of making this two-tiered “Teen Titans GO!” first birthday cake.  It was certainly a labor of love starting from online research into finding the right images I can use for inspiration, to custom making a ton of different fondant colors, and painstakingly cutting the fondant shapes to create each face.  The bottom tier is an 8″ square with about 20 servings, and it has the characters: Cyborg, Raven, StarFire & Beast Boy.  The top tier is a 6″ round with 12 servings, and it’s topped with a handmade #1, and a Robin toy figure provided by the client.  This beautiful cake was a marbled chocolate and vanilla cake with Oreo filling, accompanied by a 4″ smash cake, that I was told was enjoyed very much by Logan!  The client provided me with a couple of photos along with some kind feedback, which I appreciate very much!  As you will see in one of the photos, the client created a large cityscape background for the cake that looked pretty awesome!  Happy 1st Birthday, Logan!  Thanks for making me part of your milestone!

Made a ghost cake for my friend’s Halloween costume party.  It was an 8-layer caramel apple flavored cake filled with caramel apple frosting and crunchy toffee chips.  I also included 2 layers of chocolate cake for the kids, because you can never fail with chocolate! I also made a two-tier carrot cake, because I LOVE carrot cake, and I topped it with Ube Macarons, because I love purple for Halloween.  This was my birthday cake…YES, I made my own birthday cake!  Why buy one, when I could make it to my heart’s desire? 🙂
