The Hippy Hippy Cake!

It was a surprise 40th birthday party for a very good friend of mine.  This cake was ALL about him!!  Tie Dyed from the inside out!  It was huge too! 3 tier, 9 layers with photo spacers.  The photos were awesome, all of the birthday boy, from baby pictures to Daddy pictures, from prom pictures to wedding pictures and everything in between. It really made it fun to look at!

This cake included EvErY color of the rainbow.  It was stacked golden vanilla/rainbow, tutti frutti (birthday boy's favorite!), golden vanilla/rainbow on all 3 tiers with almond flavor butter cream.  SOOOO YUMMY! Oh and covered in rainbow tie dyed fondant.  There was a massive amount of food coloring in this cake indeed, but have no fear nobody walked away from this party with ADHD that didn't arrive at the party with it to begin with. ;-) I can't believe how moist this cake was! Must have been all that food coloring.

Oh and I forgot to mention every one was instructed to ware tie dye to the party too.  Even his little baby girl at 7 months old had a tie dyed onezie on! SO CUTE!

My friends little girl turned 2 this summer.  Her favorite color is yellow.  I think yellow is a great color for a cake!!  This was dark chocolate with chocolate butter cream.

On the fly!

I was visiting my sister-in-law and it happened to be my nephews birthday.  He was having a "fiesta birthday party".  So of course he needed a Sombrero Cake!  Or a Mexico Hat as my niece called it.  :-)  I was not at home, where I had the perfect pans for this cake, so I had to get creative.  I think it turned out pretty well for being out of my element.  At the birthday boys request, this cake was a lemon cake with lemon butter cream and covered in fondant.  I considered adding a little chili pepper powder to the fondant chili's but in the end decided not to.

Happy Birthday Dallin!  Thank you for letting me make your cake!  Love you.
