Princess Dora the Explorer Birthday Cake with Cupcakes

This cake was done for a client whose daughter, Channing, was celebrating her 3rd birthday. She told me her daughter loved Dora and Boots, princesses, rainbows and unicorns :) She wanted to remain budget conscious so we kept it simple by using buttercream icing and adding some hand sculpted pieces and fondant accents. This is a great example of our level 2 buttercream cakes. The cake was french vanilla and the cupcakes were red velvet and cinnamon swirl.

Baby Gift Basket Cake (2)

This is another baby basket cake done for a client who saw the first one and fell in love with it. She was throwing a baby shower for her sister, India, and requested that the cake include the phrase "Made in India". This cake was pink velvet with cream cheese icing covered in fondant. As with the first cake, the baby doll and bottle are made from Rice Crispie Treats while the baby book, pacifier and teething keys are sugarpaste.

The Making of....ATL AF1 Birthday Cake

From time to time I'll be posting "The Making of..." pictures and video to give an inside look at how i bring some of these cakes to life. I've been meaning to do it for a while but it's just been really hard for me to stop while I'm in "the zone" to snap a picture ;) I usually spend on average about 10 hours on each cake...i know, but it's truly a painstakingly detailed process. All the more reason why i wanted to start posting "The Making of..." so that you can really see all that goes into this edible art. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

So i guess people assume that when it comes time for MY birthday i'm gonna create some unbelievably amazing cake, but...nothing could be further from the truth ;) All i wanted was some low key very yummy cupcakes (emphasis on "yummy"!)

I made two dozen sampler cupcakes including red velvet, strawberry shortcake, chocolate peanut butter prezel, oreo, cinnimon swirl, chocolate fudge, and french vanilla. SOOOOO GOOD!
