Mad Science Birthday Cake

We had so much fun creating a mad science themed birthday cake for an awesome 5 year. The cake was an explosion of color, texture, and it was a feast for your senses. We included a rocket ship made of rice cereal treats, 2 boiling beakers also made of rice cereal treats, and atoms bursting of the cake on wires. There are chemical symbols, atom rings, green slime, and lightening bolts. Then we layered it with swirls of color, stars, and dots. Our inspiration for this design was fueled by the Mad Science party team. (http://www.madscience.org/) They come to your party and conduct experiments and entertain the kids while the teach. They have invitations you can use and also goodie bags for the kids. The birthday message and rocket close up. We cut out letters and then piped over them for extra color. We make our cakes to be viewed 360 degrees, so here is the back side of the cake. It also has full decoration with atoms bursting, atom string and chemical symbols. just another angle of the cake... We also created a smaller version of the cake for the birthday boy. He wanted a chocolate cake so we made him his own chocolate cake and the big cake was a tier of lemon and a tier of marble. We took the beaker from the top of the big cake down to picture with his cake.

Cupcake First Birthday

A couple of weekends ago we created 2 cakes that were very similar. We were requested to create a cake with a cupcake on top to match the baby's first birthday party decorations back in August. Then just about 2 weeks before we are set to make the cake a second request came in to create a cake with a cupcake on top, but this time they provided us with a picture for inspiration. Well the picture wasn't to much different from the cake we were already set to make. So we made 2 tiered cakes for the same day with a cupcakes on top for baby's first birthday. Here they are... you can choose your favorite.

Black Damask Wedding

The past weekend had a theme to our cakes. We did a custom wedding cupcake tower and 4 tier wedding cake, both with a black damask theme. The differences were so subtle. One was white, hot pink and black the other ivory, pale pink and black.

The cupcake tower was inspired from Vanilla Bake Shop, they make incredible cakes in Southern California. The tower was made from Styrofoam dummy cakes, Masonite cake boards and PVC pipe. My wonderful hubby built it and with a lot of help from my nephew and niece, we made an incredible presentation for the cupcakes. The foam dummies were covered in white fondant and then stenciled with black royal icing, harder than you would think. The other tiers were covered in white or pink fondant. The cake on top was also stenciled with the royal icing.

The wedding cake was designed using the invitations as inspiration. It was 14", 10", 8" and 6" round cakes stacked, it served 152 people. The entire cake was covered in ivory marshmallow fondant and the bottom and 2nd tiers were stenciled with black royal icing. The top tier was stenciled with the motif that was found on the invitations and topped with a pink bow. The 3rd tier was wrapped with a 2 layer fondant ribbon and then in the front their custom monogram was hand painted. The cake was beautiful and the clients were happy, really that's all that matters.

It was full and very rewarding weekend.

Girly Skull Cake

The hot pink, black and white girly skull cake is one of the most requested cakes. The skull design is popular on clothes, shoes, purses and even school supplies. So I shouldn't be surprised that young girls want to have the coolest cake with the latest fad.

The cake has been done in different sizes and for a wide range of ages. Every time the cake is made something is done a little different to make the cake unique. It is a blend of the sweet with the hot pink and the edgy with the black.

Here a few of the cakes we have done with the girly skull... all black, hot pink and white.

"The heartogram skull cake"
