Little Mermaid Cake

 

My sister asked for a birthday cake based on her all time favorite movie. So, I gave it a try. It was made with two layers of strawberry cake (from Cake Central) and yellow cake (adapted from Cake Central) each. The layers were filled and crumb coated with a cream cheese frosting. The whole cake was then covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.

  

  

  

  

 

Superbowl Cupcakes

Was hoping to make one of those nifty pull away cupcakes cake that looks like a football field but between cleaning, moving furniture, and cooking for the Superbowl party, I was only able to whip up a quick batch of my go to chocolate cupcakes, dye the cream cheese frosting (from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book) green, have my sister roll the top in dyed shredded coconut, and make my boyfriend roll out the fondant footballs which I decorated with a powdered sugar icing (adapted from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book).

Ladybug Cake

My sister wanted me to make a birthday cake for her coworker who tracks "bugs" in their system.  Dyeing marshmallow fondant red and brown was a pain!  Used this new vanilla buttercream frosting (adapted from All Recipes) recipe to crumb coat the chocolate cake.
