Angry Birds Cake

Of course my 7 yr old had to have an angry birds cake. I didn't like any of the ones I saw on the web, so I decided to make a simple one, 2 tiers, because I needed a place for the pigs and a place for the birds. The logs are Keebler fudge sticks, the nest is chocolate covered pretzel
s, and the birds and pigs are all made by hand from homemade marshmallow fondant. Some kids said it was their favorite cake ever!

Sushi cake

My son only likes ice cream cakes for his birthday but really wanted one done by me, so I bought a plain one, iced in white, and took it home to decorate like a sushi roll. The edges are wrapped with fruit roll ups. I made the color darker by using green gel color diluted with vodka and a small paintbrush (the alcohol evaporates). The "crab" is a sliced marshmallow wrapped with a red fruit roll up. The rest of the decorations are candy, and the "rice" are just white sprinkles.

40th Birthday Cake - Realtor

This was just a sheet cake, but made for a 40th Birthday for a Realty Executives realtor, using their signage, it says "Really old Executives". The grass was sheet sugar and the edges were cut to look like blades of grass. All the lettering was done by hand.
It was a big hit.
