Birthday Cakes Everywhere!!



This first cake was a white cake with rasberry creme filling. I made the marshmallow fondant and had a great time making Nemo and his Dad. My dentist's daughter Nisha turned 2 and loves anything and everything fishy. This seemed like a natural fit. I purposely made the ocean fondant thicker than normal so it would look like water at the bottom of the cake. I also set the cake on a larger cake round to be able to add more things to the "ocean floor." I fashioned a "gone fishing" type sign out of white fondant and wrote "Happy Birthday Nisha!"


This was a birthday cake for a one year old that I know. Ellie was more excited with the fondant #1 than the cake. It was a 3 layer chocolate fudge cake with milk chocolate butter cream filling and icing. The fondant was homemade using the marshmallow fondant recipe that I like so much. I also made coordinating chocolate cupcakes with light pink butter cream and chocolate sprinkles. Eventhough little Ellie was feeling a bit icky from the flu---everyone had a great time at the party!
