The best Angry Birds game ever...on a cake

Angry Birds Cake- Top View
This weekend I completed an Angry Birds cake, (I've never even played the game...), and I quoted it for high detailing, and that's exactly what I did. I think this is the MOST detailed character cake I've ever done, but I had fun creating my own game scenario. I didn't snap a photo of them, but also included with this cake were 6 pig cupcakes, that were green batter, with the pigs faces detailed on top.
The inside of this cake was strawberry shortcake, shortcake batter, with real strawberries in a sauce in between each layer of the top and bottom tiers.

In my opinion the photo's don't do it justice, but you can mostly tell that several of the birds sitting in the middle are 3D, they are fully buttercream, the clouds are mostly all 3D, the eggs and slingshot on top are gumpaste decorations, and the crown on the King Pig is made of fondant.

 For those who HAVE played Angry Birds, you will note that every pig and every bird is included in the game an all are flying in all directions, feathers, explosions... it's all there, for those who haven't take me on my word that there's a lot of specific detail on this game directly from the game. Have a look! Comment if you like it ;)

Turbo Power Rangers

Wow what a weekend! 3 cakes in a row whew! But alas we made it through...
Here is the last cake from little my cake marathon, I had a request for the red Power Ranger from the Turbo Power Rangers  series, so I looked him up a little bit and couldn't decide on the design I wanted to go with, so figured I'd wing it on the day. It was as I was leveling the cakes and happened to stack them on top of each other in a way they looked rounded, that I was struck by inspiration and decided to sculpt the Power Ranger's helmet. So I went with it, mixed up all my colors, and then later that day sent it off to the party! Talk about last minute creativity!
Here's how it turned out...

It's Strawberry Shortcake!

A basket of strawberry shortcake...

This week I am creating a Strawberry Shortcake character cake, for Abby who is turning a big 7! I gave her several Strawberry Girl options, and this is the one she liked best. I am making a 9x13 cake, double layered, with pink marbled vanilla cake and buttercream filling.
The sides of the cake are going to be chocolate buttercream basketweave and decorated with strawberry blossoms and sitting in a bed of grass. On top of the cake, in each of the corners, I am going to have miniature strawberry bushes decorated with blossoms and fondant strawberries, and then in the middle of the will be Strawberry herself and Happy 7th Birthday Abby.


Here's how she turned out!

You'll Never Walk Alone: Liverpool FC

Liverpool Football Club Logo
Yay more soccer fans!

This weekend I made a Liverpool Soccer (Football) Fan Cake for a joint father-daughter birthday party (love it!). They are both mega fans of Liverpool FC so I made them a surprise birthday cake and incorporated as much LFC fan stuff as I could fit onto it.
I chose to make a stadium cake, I had never done one before and really wanted to so I gave it a whirl and it turned out great. It had a 9x13 2 layer base, with 2 more layers carved and stacked for the stadium bleachers. I left one long side open so that the center of the field could easily be seen.
On the center field, I hand piped the LFC logo, and wrote Happy Brithday (centre) Neil (left) Tegan (right) in the green banner at the bottom. I built miniature soccer nets as well as a red and white soccer ball to also go on the field.
For the audience, I individually hand piped [way to many] dots using the LFC fan colors, and made miniature flags and banners out of fondant to place amongst the crowd.
On the very back of the cake I wrote "This Is Anfield" the sign that people entering the stadium go under at the entrance, and threw on some LFC fan facts on the stadium upper walls.

My Little Pony

This week I am doing a birthday cake for a little girl who is turning 5, and loves My Little Pony- in particular "Fluttershy". 
 So for her I have designed a 2 tier cake (carrot cake- great choice for pony lovers) that is going to have an 8" round bottom and a 6" round top. The base tier will be a soft cream yellow, with small butterflies and carrots piped on, and the top tier will be pink with quilted lines and edible pearls! Of course topped off with a pretty fondant bow...Oooh La La!

Top of the cake- Hand-piped pony


On the very top of the cake I am going to hand pipe an image of Fluttershy which I have hand-drawn out to be holding a flag with a birthday banner on it.

Here's what I have for her so far...





...the bow is going to be sitting on the shelf of the bottom tier and trailing down the cake.

Go England!

In air of the Euro 2012 Cup (Soccer/Football Euro Championships... just so you know), my soccer nut brother is getting a simple theme cake of his favorite team, England's Newcastle United.
It is a double layer chocolate-vanilla marble cake with chocolate (black) and vanilla buttercream icing.

...And here's what we got:
Happy Birthday Austin!
Love Sissy!
