Ralph Lauren Birthday Shirt Cake

Over this weekend my family celebrated my grandpas 67th birthday. I wanted to make him a cake that had a meaning behind it..so, I cake up with the Tom Bagnall shirt cake. My grandpa, Tom, always wears these certain types of shirts, well.. polo shirts, and because he wears these shirts so much, my family calls them the, "Tom Bagnall" shirt.

So that is exactly what I made... a, "Tom Bagnall" shirt cake, but I had to make the cake special, so I got a Ralph Lauren shirt, and copied the shirt into a cake.





Happy 67th Birthday Grandpa
 



 
...And the candles are lit...

HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY GRANDPA
I LOVE YOU <3

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all of the beautiful mothers out there <3

This year for Mothers Day I wanted to make my mom a special cake, and not just the usual heart and flowers kind of cake. A cake with a special meaning to it, and a cake that she will never forget.

Adding pictures to a cake takes you back to those special memories and moments you had with that person. So for my mom I wanted to capture it all :) In the click of a camera and prints out a snap shot.

Happy Mothers Day Mommie, I love you with all of my heart <3

Team Umizoomi

2, 4, 6, 8, lets do the crazy shake, shake your hands high and low, lets go....
Team Umizoomi way to go
 
 
My cousins 4th birthday was comming up and I had to make him a special cake, well I make everyone a special cake, but I had to make him a EXTRA special cake because he just had surgery done and had his birthday party almost a month later.
 
I was told for this little cutie cousin of mine that he wanted a TEAM UMIZOOMI cake, but I couldnt just make it any cake, I wanted to add something special to it.
 
So I decided to put a special suprise in the inside of the cake....
 
but before I reveal the suprise, let me tell you about the cake
 
I made a yellow cake, filled and frosted in buttercream, I had fondant shapes and numbers around the cake, and hand painted gumpaste Team Umizoomi plaques of the characters on top of the cake with balloons....and here is the cake...
 
 


 
 

 
 
And my gumpaste figures and balloons

 
 
 
AND TIME FOR THE SUPRISE.....
 
 
RAINBOW CAKE

 
 
 
And my cousin that I made this cake for

I havent been on my blog in forever, it's like I almost forgot about it, but I am back now :)

I have been creating many cakes, and they are just getting better and better each time. I would love to share all of my cakes with you that I missed sharing with you all but that would take FOREVER....so ill just share my favorite cake that I made instead :)

I am soooo proud of this Toy Story Cake that I made, it is a 3 TIER, biggest cake ive done by far, funfetti cake filled with buttercream, and covered and detaild with fondant, but before I share my the whole cake I am going to show you just a little sneak peak of one of the tiers.............


 
BUZZLIGHT YEAR
 
 
This is my favorite part about the whole cake, this one single tier. I was so proud of myself when I finished this tier it turned out better than I expecte...that happens a lot :)
 
I also made a gumpaste hand painted cake topper for this cake (but it broke not long before I was delivering the cake :( but I made a replacement...it wasnt this fantastic hand painted plaque but I will do..
 
Heres the Original Cake topper
 
 
I ended up just printing an edible image for the replacement of this but luckly I took pictures before this broke :)
