A Mile Stone!

This cake marks a major mile stone for me!  One year ago I was paid for my first cake!  Last year this little cuttie turned 4 and wanted a flip flop cake.  This year she is 5 and it's all about Hello Kitty!!

The top tier is cherry chip cake with cherry frosting.  The bottom tier is strawberry and white cake, checkerbord pattern, with strawberry frosting.  Strawberry Nerds filled the boarder very well.  Hello Kitty is all MM fondant.  She really looks like she is falling over but truely she was not.  Her head is tilted a bit but that was intentional.  I could not get her wiskers to stand up to save my life, so they ended up pressed aginst her face, still cute though.

Score! He turnes 4!

This was for my nephews 4th birthday.  A sports theam.... Baseballs, dodgeballs, basketballs, footballs, soccer balls and tenis balls.  It was one week after I had surgery so I had my sister help by doing all the shopping and even come over one day to make all the fondant.

The twist on this cake was that she wanted a "big" cake but didn't need to feed a lot of people, so the bottom (basketball) tier is not cake, it is styrophome covered in fondant.  This was a first for me and it worked out GREAT!  I will deffinately reccomend that in the future.  Although it did cost a little more in product, it saved me big time in labor.

The top tier (baseball) was lemon cake with lemon buttercream, at the birthday boy's request.  The second tier (dodgeball) was dark chocolate fudge with chocolate creamcheese butter cream.
