Frozen Birthday Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes I have ever made!  My client had sent me a bunch of Frozen cake inspiration photos, but they were mostly two-tier cakes.  So I took the turquoise and purple colors & airbrushed them onto a single tier cake.  This was an 8″ purple & white swirl cake with vanilla buttercream & strawberry filling.  The white drip is white chocolate highlighted with sugar crystals.  The Anna, Elsa & Olaf toy figures were provided by my client.  Here’s a mini tutorial I made to document how I decorated the cake.

Basketball cake

This is a three-tier fondant covered cake decorated with a bunch of edible images!  My client wanted a large cake for her son’s 10th birthday that was themed after his favorite basketball team, the Golden State Warriors.  For inspiration, my client sent me a lot of Warriors logos, so I thought it would be fitting for them to be allover the cake like posters on a wall.  The bottom tier is a 10″ chocolate & vanilla marble cake with Oreo buttercream, and the middle tier was an 8″ lemon cake with raspberry buttercream.  The top tier was a 5″ Rice Krispy basketball covered in chocolate ganache and fondant.  This cake was certainly a hit!  Here’s a review from my client: “Joy, Thank you so SO much for making the most amazing cake I’ve purchased yet! I got so many compliments on the style and creativity on the cake! The lemon raspberry selection was an absolute hit!  Just had to share and send my deepest appreciation for the cake! I will definitely be in touch!!!” XOXO, ~D

I’ve done a few Little Man/Mustache themed cakes, and they work well for both baby showers and birthdays, especially if you change up the colors.  He’s a set of cakes that were similar, but the difference is number of tiers, and the fact that one is covered in buttercream, and one is covered in fondant. The featured cake above was a three-tier, 4″, 6″ over 8″ covered entirely in fondant, with fondant suspenders.  My talented client, who’s enjoys paper crafting, created the bow tie with fabric, and the mustache topper with a glittery foam core board.  I thought it looked awesome!  I think it’s great when clients create their cake toppers, because they can keep them (instead of eat them), and they can get the design exactly how they want it. mmc bakes, little man cake, baby blue, mustache cake, baby shower cake, san diego, chula vista, custom cake, buttercream cake, chevron, bow tie, mustache, baby shower, two tier, mustache cake This was a two-tier, 6″ over 8″, both covered in buttercream with fondant suspenders, bow tie, and mustache topper.  Below is a repost from Instagram of the client’s awesome setup.  Love this chic blue & gray color palette!
