We were making a half sheet cake for Liam's birthday. I felt it was important to have some space around the cake to write, and also wanted to have some beach "sand" made from granulated raw sugar. I wanted the water on my cake to look realistic and fun so I made several different colors of blue and dropped them on the cake. Then, I used a spatula to make them look like waves, taking care not to overmix the colors. Once I had the lettering on, the waves and other accents, I put the characters on the cake. Hank needed the support of two straws because he was so large, but the other 3 just laid on the cake unsupported. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949177052-CRLBR6N71URODLPTG00V/destiny1.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949175919-2S458CABTYCMG3UGH8C2/Destiny2.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949175593-UIXF2QRYZP75HQKNDJYL/destiny3.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949172778-4A8OX2WPXTYGPLLYUYSO/destiny6.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949173435-DQV4N4NGBTIYLRVLPLNO/destiny7.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599948912175-TOCGPOWF89NVXW141Z3Y/Hank1.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599948976602-FHRJITR52DEXYKMIK86W/hank2.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949342771-0MTCAPJHMW9XMKZF1VSY/ray1.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949343119-20JUXI016RZ1A31H7RDV/ray2.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949345978-JFIH9GIAT8N3UFZSFLWM/ray3.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949345978-Z6O43UWBEH4N4EWM1RZO/ray4.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949347437-ANQQRY8ZF6BQGVMZCW19/ray5.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949348229-RS7EWST5GHUTD1MF335O/ray6.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949085450-7O2QGTVMXUG2Q2FOHHOQ/dory1.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599949085613-UG5P70TCQEJ6WTCFWX1X/dory2.jpg Blog - Finding Dory Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/how-to-make-frosting-sunflowers monthly 0.5 2021-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1627583400876-T27JULG1W7385KH3SDRC/IMG_5477.jpg Blog - How to Frost Sunflowers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1627584161632-96CHUIXTR4C1R321EEPG/cake4.jpg Blog - How to Frost Sunflowers - The wedding cake Courtney and Erick chose a sunflower theme for their wedding.

Not knowing where to land, she arrives on the doorstep of her college friend Stephen and his husband Nick. Three mid-40’s friends discover they are standing at a crossroads, and that what once seemed permanent and secure in their lives is now fragile and vulnerable. In a series of tightly wrought scenes moving back and forth in time, with actor/dancers transforming into the birds so central to Marion’s life, Wendy Dann’s new play explores how we heal, find hope and move on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896824411-SQ8D9BQAZI85PDV8WQAP/illustration-hornbill-vocabulary-part-body-vector-73217115.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies - How to Decorate these Birds of East Africa Cookies This type of project is where I get to use my background in art! So excited to pull this all together, I found a great clip art image of a bird, enlarged him to 200% of his size and printed him out without his branch. I then used him as a template for the cookies. At this point in the design process, I wasn't sure what direction I would go in with this bird. Would he be his real colors? Would he match the other watercolor look and feel? I would have to see how it all came together. In the back of my head I thought, "what about doing a watercolor cookie style?" I'd start with a blank white canvas and work from the playbill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896965109-R6VU1QKW2INWFXRSWOOO/IMG_5306.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896965070-8G4469S98S0QMJOXU0CL/IMG_5307.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896971342-VN7S9OYDWI79YNY9PRQT/IMG_5308.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896971341-MNQ5J4239NNDQYKZKOH9/IMG_5309.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896973124-3YFB42Z5OM0AD82ABUDC/IMG_5310.jpg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598896635283-5F25UQMUAH3QZYZEX9HU/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Birds of East Africa Cookies - Cookies for Opening Night One of the actresses in the play, Lena Kaminsky got in touch with me early this week to see if I was available to make cookies for opening night for Birds of East Africa. Of course!! I last baked cookies for opening night when Lena was in Swimming in the Shallows, designing some fun themed cookies to work well with the play. With opening night just 3 days out, we didn't have time to order cookie cutters and as luck would have it (because who really wants to desire a cookie cutter they can't have), there weren't many great bird options out there that fit our goal. I looked at the play bill and an idea popped into my head right away! What if we did a water color type look for the cookies that would complement the art from the show? That would be GREAT! We chose little bird cutters, hearts and a puzzle piece because of the way the bottom of the bird kind of fanned out to look just a bit like puzzle pieces. I also planned to hand cut a few larger horn billed birds to set in the center of the platter for impact. I sent Lena a picture of the cutters against my hand so she could see that the hearts and birds were pretty small! https://emoticakes.com/blog/elsa-birthday-cake monthly 0.5 2021-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599948275451-681XWA62DTN5MW2OR1OY/elsa.jpg Blog - Elsa Birthday Cake - Tips for Success When baking shaped cakes and working with fondant, I find these tips helpful. 1. Make sure that your pan is thoroughly greased and floured or sprayed well with Pam for Baking or similar spray. 2. Let your cake cool for a long time in the pan. I let this cool for several hours before un-molding. She popped right out and I wasn't worried about the cake falling apart during the process. 3. Take your time when you're working with fondant. It is challenging to cover a larger surface and can feel stressful. Stressing out just makes it more likely that you'll have trouble covering the surface. Take things slow, make sure you measure well and be patient. 4. If you do make mistakes with the base layer of fondant, remember that you have a lot of opportunity to embellish! You can cover those mistakes with embellishments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599947960929-N8LHONPTDYP5277MOMYT/IMG_3318.jpg Blog - Elsa Birthday Cake - Bake your cakes First buy the doll you like. I chose the basic Elsa doll with a top dress molded from plastic and a fabric skirt. This serves three purposes: it is more affordable than the full dress version, slightly smaller, and because her top is designed, you won't need to frost intricate small things for the top part of her dress. To bake the cake you should use a Wilton wonder mold for a doll cake and a standard 8" round cake pan. If you don't have this pan, you may also use a Pampered Chef large batter bowl. I've never tried this, but every Pampered Chef sales representative swears by it for baking. Bake a recipe and a half of your favorite cake so that you have enough to fill the mold and the 8" layer cake pan. Bake the cake according to the pan instructions, keeping in mind that it takes a long time to bake a cake in this wonder mold pan. Allow the cakes to cool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599948215618-ZURRZEKAX4GQKFUZEZZT/IMG_3322.jpg Blog - Elsa Birthday Cake - Add Fondant You'll want to try to match the top part of Elsa's dress when you color your fondant. I used mostly sky blue with just a little drop of Royal Blue. Mix your fondant until there are no streaks left and it is evenly colored. Roll it out to between 1/8" and 1/4" thickness. Once you've rolled a large enough slice of fondant, remove the doll _(the reason to have added it was to make sure she didn't stick out of the cake beyond where she should)_ and then cover the skirt with the fondant. After you put Elsa back into the cake, you're ready to embellish. Roll out white gum paste or fondant to make the accent pieces for her dress. Use royal icing or other hardening icing to add snowflake accents to the white parts of her dress, add a ribbon around her waist etc. This is the place where you can really put your own spin on things! This Elsa birthday cake was baked to celebrate Kate's 4th birthday, and her grandparents wanted the cake to say Happy 4th Birthday Kate. I considered using the cake base for writing. This is something I often do when making a doll cake. However, I hadn't left too much room on the edges and I thought it would be fun to mix things up a little. I added little round circles and used edible marker to write the birthday message on the cake. A little bit of drying and icing and they stayed nicely on the cake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1599948094952-BFJPJKXH3F7QVP1YC1C3/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Elsa Birthday Cake - Decorate You may choose to work with fondant and buttercream, or just buttercream. I chose to work with fondant and buttercream for the added smoothness that fondant provides. First, lay your 8" round cake on the cake board and then spread a nice layer of buttercream on top of this layer. Top with the wonder mold cake. At this point, stand your Elsa next to your cake and see if you need more height. For my doll, I needed a fair amount of height, so I split the wonder mold cake in a couple of places and added frosting layers. This served the purpose of adding height while also improving the cake to frosting ratio. Once you've done any splitting and filling you need to do, crumb coat the cake and then put Elsa into the center of your cake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/bumblebeecake monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596732789523-W8ZD97EQ9QI5QDONVRWR/IMG_3262.jpeg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596732796236-QHI1QEBH6RNZJBHCIVCN/IMG_3263D.jpeg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596732799263-CB9W9ZQP1BYBY079OFTS/IMG_3264D.jpeg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596732804928-H23UMPWONJZIRYPIKP77/IMG_3265D.jpeg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596732809122-QKQKYVFFX6CR86UCJT3D/IMG_3266D.jpeg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596733579618-ES1JZZ4EWVP3M003JMZN/Bumblebee1.jpg Blog - Bumblebee Transformer cake - Bumblebee Transformer Cake This blog post will show you how to make your own Bumblebee Transformer cake.

It works very well for intensely colored cakes. The method is simple; make your final coat of frosting in white on your cake and chill the cake. Then, put the coloring right on the top of the cake. Use a spreader to spread the color around on just the top layer of frosting. It gives a very intense color and it is only on the very surface of the cake. I used this technique on the cakes shown below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597779897439-EZDX9SHUHVMXQ6279CE4/IMG_1263.jpg Blog - A Birthday at the Movies! - I left the popcorn at school After I had the night sky complete and the popcorn bucket made I was pretty pleased with the results. Now it was time to make the popcorn. I had decided to go for a lightly candy coated popcorn so that it would be a more neutral color. The invitation had popcorn in a pale yellow color, and I knew the caramel color would be too much. I smiled and thought, "let's pop some popcorn." Then I gasped. "I forgot the popcorn!" Yes, everything was at school. It was evening and I don't live far from school (or the grocery store for that matter), still I had this nagging feeling in my head the entire time that I should be using fondant popcorn. It would be cool and it would match the whimsical nature of popcorn bucket on the invite. Thanks to Rose Bakes for her fondant popcorn tutorial. It was fun and I love the way the cake turned out. My daughter is home from college and she said, "I meant to remind you about the popcorn when you left for school but I forgot." I assured her it was ok because I liked how it came out with the fondant popcorn even better! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597779469987-TB1YN2QHF68ZZLA0GMNH/IMG_0252-1-scaled.jpg Blog - A Birthday at the Movies! - Popcorn Time Boden wanted half chocolate and half vanilla cake with mint frosting. The party was for about 20 kids, so we didn't need a lot of cake. However, we did need a good sized "canvas" for the design. I chose to use a 1/2 sheet size, opting to trim some of the cake off to make the popcorn bucket pop a bit. After splitting and filling the sheet cake with mint frosting and adding the popcorn bucket sculpted cake, the cake had a nice presence. It would be the perfect centerpiece for his party. I put it in the fridge and headed to work where I'd have more time to consider how I'd be creating the finished product. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597779560080-NATVY23ASZ0G0XZZUXU3/Screen-Shot-2019-12-24-at-6.10.37-AM.png Blog - A Birthday at the Movies! - What about the popcorn? I decided I'd use real popcorn to come out of the bucket like I had in another movie themed cake I did. For that cake I made caramel corn so that the popcorn wouldn't melt in the cake or turn stale. I had brought all our popcorn to school with me for an upcoming event day. I made a note to bring the popcorn home so I could pop just a little to use for the cake. It would be perfect! Using real caramel corn worked great for Samara’s 11th birthday! https://emoticakes.com/blog/ballet-cupcake-tutorial monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219596393-LEFM3YL2W0TCMXWWVV1I/Screen-Shot-2019-03-18-at-6.27.55-AM.png Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219607142-SQK1KS4O5ZUMQD1PVU4V/balletfootball.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219607517-MGUV5RHAPG4Z75RTCTUL/ballet.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219608196-NDZ1DXC46B2PH4JLLDYX/ballet-slipper-cake.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219607824-PCZYHSVJVP8V8C5MB3VU/ballet-cupcakes.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219643298-9WLW5BJC7A8JWGHB805J/sleepovercake.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220321131-A1IAVJ24ENJU2KMSFSOZ/feb-8-2-e1552954781803.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial - And don’t forget the ballet cake! Alexandra's actual birthday party was also a ballet theme with the ballerina silhouette as the star of the cake. I pulled her favorite color of blue and decided to incorporate a dimensional tutu into the dancer silhouette. I baked a simple dairy free chocolate cake with dairy free frosting covered in pale blue fondant and topped with the dancer. Adding 3 roses in the colors from the cupcakes and balls of fondant for the bottom edge completed the cake. It was a hard decision to choose between doing roses and round balls but I ultimately went with the roses on the top being the only flowers. Omitting the quilting from the inspiration cake made for a simple yet still elegant dancer cake. To make the ballerina topper, find a ballerina pattern you like and then roll out gum paste to your desired thickness. I suggest keeping it at least a quarter inch thick so that it has some stability.Use some luster dust to add some shimmer to the dancer. Then, roll out your skirt and use water to affix it to both sides of the dancer. Then, select your front and embellish the skirt with a waist accent. A couple of days later when the dancer is dry, use royal icing to affix a wooden dowel to the back of the dancer. You will use that to insert the dancer into the cake once she reaches her final destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220262151-AIDEMOUFIJ7UL6FK01HS/feb-3-4.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220269650-YXPZ72ABPXYHC6KW3C56/feb-6-3.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598219808473-SQ7QSBDQSNDGX4GFGF35/feb-7-2.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial - A Video Tutorial I shared in another post that I'm only just starting to be open to watching video tutorials, and that is largely due to the fact that there aren't as many picture how-to things out there. While taking my daughter to college auditions I had some time to look around for "ballet-themed cupcake tutorials" and I found one that I really liked. Watch this tutorial from My Cupcake Addiction for a complete how-to for making ballet dress cupcakes. Alex's Mom liked the pastel theme of the cupcakes and she shared that her daughter's favorite color was blue. We had a plan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220055713-ZL81QB5FVDDLQVOWEHV5/feb-1-1-1.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220087891-SPSSN8ZWV9XHEK1T8EKY/feb-2-1-1.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598220116279-BNVEDHU1PMWKCU03O5AR/feb-4-1-1.jpg Blog - Ballet Cupcake Tutorial https://emoticakes.com/blog/its-a-jewelry-making-party monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596726850824-SKWEYRBX0T5TKG3N9UKU/Bailey.png Blog - It’s a Jewelry-Making Party! - Invitation The birthday girl chose a tan-themed invitation with some fun colored flags to complete the look. The kids planned to create jewelry at the party! I decided to stick with the theme of the invitation, instead of branching out to full-on jewelry cake, cupcakes, or cookies. I also decided it was important to keep the color scheme that was selected on the invitation, just to pull things all together. Sometimes giving yourself a constraint like that makes the design process more fun. Think, "how can I create something that keeps things pure to the invite while not exactly copying each and every element?" I also like to focus on creating things that are repeatable. For example, if I'm going to make 2 dozen cookies and need to make a necklace chain, I could create this with hand sculpted gum paste OR I could try to find a sprinkle or other adornment that may make the process go a little more quickly. I used gold sprinkles for one chain and then white sugar pearls for another of the chains on the invitation. I like the depth that they gave to the cake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596727051227-QB4GP11K4EWTRHJHGCOK/jan-1-3.jpg Blog - It’s a Jewelry-Making Party! - Cupcakes Bailey wanted to celebrate with cupcakes and cake. Perfect! We decided on a dozen vegan cupcakes along with a dozen traditional cupcakes. It made for a good canvas for writing Happy 12th Birthday Bailey and letting the cake use the "Let's Celebrate" words from the invitation. I love working with cupcakes for display. Leslie arranged them around the cake to create a lovey display for the kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596727092441-28TGS9P3LGMYOK1I01P9/jan-1.jpg Blog - It’s a Jewelry-Making Party! - Cookies Custom sugar cookies are fun but also really challenging. You always have to remember that you need to repeat the design A LOT of times. As you design, think ahead to how you will feel when you are completing cookie after cookie. For these cookies, I decided to incorporate the flags from the invitation to make them fun. Originally I thought I'd just do the chain and the child's name and I briefly even considered just doing a field of tan with a name in navy. I'm so happy I went with the flags though. It was worth it to go through all the steps for the finished product. To create the cookies I used a ravioli cutter to cut out triangles and then decorated each flag with either royal icing accents or edible marker accents. I kept it simple, selecting 4 colors that worked and choosing the easier styles from the design. I was going for the spirit of the invitation vs a replica of the invitation. The longest part was applying the golden chain and the white chains in sugar pearls. Luckily my daughter works for me and she was willing to help me create the flags and chains! I love how you can see the look come together between the invitation, cake and cookies in this picture. https://emoticakes.com/blog/cornell-themed-sprinkle-cake-and-cornell-funfetti-vegan-cupcakes monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595963816932-17ZJFGAH1037WAMDCJXE/7.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595963817096-8T0GKKY6PFGHKUFRBGGM/8.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595963822422-9NJ9F9K887DQR41RTVWB/9.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595963822574-29R6JAOY64LGBAEKZK9R/10.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595963825093-MAZF3BV13QBLOPKJID3N/11.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595964063815-YGT4401CWX5C9RWSX76P/13.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595964460621-VIUQNU1RG9UHMN4IL4CH/2.jpg Blog - Cornell themed Sprinkle Cake - It is for a college birthday There's really nothing more fun than baking for college birthdays!

I thought as she went on to tell me that she wanted chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. Her dad wanted his favorite; chocolate peanut butter.

They know the owner and when I first started baking they told me all about her business. Here is the picture. Hmmm... they didn't need to feed too many people. I was pretty booked and I hadn't inquired about budget yet. I decided that we should move our conversation from email to phone. It would be easier to discern the important aspects of the desired cake in a conversation. While talking I discovered he wanted to capture the spirit of the design - we didn't need to include 3D circus animals and he was open to having a large cupcake as part of the cake for a smash cake instead of a fully separate cake. The cake only needed to serve 20 people so we didn't need to focus on servings. We needed to keep the budget realistic and I had to work it into my schedule of full-time day job and part-time bakery job timeframe. I asked if he could give me a couple of days to come up with a design and said I'd email him soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597859696336-BD7KUIK4Y79F2AF8FWX6/Screen-Shot-2018-07-01-at-2.26.19-PM.png Blog - A Circus Cake for Hawke - And this is why I love running… Nearing the end of the school year, I was super busy with teaching and whenever I wasn't at work or prepping for lessons, I was baking for Emoticakes. I found myself with no time to think about this upcoming circus cake. And when I did have some time I was just struggling with how to make it cool but not so large and not too complex. Then I found time for a 6 mile run. Aaah ... my most creative ideas come while I'm running. I have all this time to only think about what I set my intention on. As I was flying down Falls road the idea came to me. I came home and sketched it out on my iPad music app [ForScore](https://forscore.co/) that I use in the classroom. I have drawing programs but I haven't spent time learning them so putting the drawing in would take time in any of them. ForScore would be quick and it would communicate the essentials. I drew quickly and then showed Scott. "What do you think?" I asked him. I shared the original picture and then the important pieces that we wanted to keep. "You nailed it." he replied. It looks great! Scott is brutally honest when I don't "nail it" so I knew I could trust his opinion. I emailed the picture and he thought it would be great! The one change - ditch the gum balls and use something else. That works for me. We have a plan. https://emoticakes.com/blog/baby-shower-unicorn-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138503833-8UYZKQTWKW3AC4AZ1SL3/IMG_7671.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138503710-0N7F68Y24LUD4L2SZ7E8/IMG_7672.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138505828-068IJJID6Y1W7OSAOPXQ/IMG_7674.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138508566-UEIX1C9FBMQNONBIV2FQ/IMG_7675.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138508679-TJF98O7OXBGA1YPM3SQS/IMG_7676.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138510062-3ACJ3WJ5MF50YN97IO3M/IMG_7677.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138724575-KY1K4PBX14GLSDHAMIX4/IMG_7720.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138723836-7EM0GIG1RP1VP2LAUSOA/IMG_7723.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138727378-R47HHR3KN7TBXBFTPW98/IMG_7724.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138740946-8DYPSK6A1JSK457LH6Y1/IMG_7726.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138740947-ZMILUWDHNNXFWF82AKID/IMG_7727.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138742159-0GE7BJRL9GT9KKQ6WGWE/IMG_7728.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1598138832328-INEMMLUE4YHFLK0H5465/IMG_7728.jpg Blog - Baby Shower Unicorn Cake - And the finished cake!

First, you have to slowly add all the ingredients, taking care not to mix too much but also not to under mix. You have to bake the crust and let it cool, then bake the cheesecake for almost an hour and let it sit in the warm oven for another hour. After that, it has an overnight stay in the fridge before you take it out of the mold. I usually don't cut things too close, allowing myself time to re-do things if something goes awry. However, the schedule for that week had me making Dillan's cheesecake the night before they planned to celebrate. Everything went well and then it started its overnight fridge stay. I knew at 5 am I would take it out of its mold. Everything had to go properly at that point because they were celebrating that night! As I was taking the cheesecake out of the pan, it was challenging to move. I knew in the back of my head that it would separate from the bottom of the pan, but also that I would have to be very patient. If I tried to rush this, it would crack and I'd be forced to repair a mess or start over and finish before work. I cheered from my kitchen as it separated perfectly and went on the cake base. Decorating was fun and I was pleased with the result. https://emoticakes.com/blog/how-to-make-a-popcorn-bag-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597777530086-3WXJL93N9CBLFS7533CU/popcornstripespopped.jpg Blog - How to Make a Popcorn Bag Cake - Caramel Corn I thought it'd be **GREAT** fun to make real popcorn for Samara's cake. To make sure it would stick, I decided to work with caramel corn instead of regular popcorn. After adding the stripes to the blank cake canvas, I made microwave caramel corn. I needed such a small amount that it felt silly to make a whole batch! I gently piled it up on the cake after allowing it to cool. I tried to use as much as I could. I could already imagine the girls trying to divvy up the popcorn at the party! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597778214436-5N08B60CE6TZFNGFLG50/image-asset.jpeg Blog - How to Make a Popcorn Bag Cake - It’s a Party! One of the things that I really liked about the invitation were the letters spelling out **PARTY** on top of the invitation. I decided to custom cut party letters from thick gum paste for the cake. I thought they would be good without the red outline, but once I got them on the cake they seemed to just cry out for red outlining. I considered adding the candle flames, but decided that the cake should not be 100% a replica of the invitation, so I left them out. The cake has big gum paste letters to let us know it is a party! Add the outline and the ticket and the cake is complete! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597777214448-MZI1T5CUHYIPRR26JDHM/Screen_Shot_2017-06-09_at_9.13.43_AM.png Blog - How to Make a Popcorn Bag Cake - Design by Invitation One of my friends always has me design her children's cakes from a custom birthday party invitation she sends out. She introduced another one of her friends to me and her friend had the same idea for her daughter's 11th birthday. Samara's invitation had a big bag of popcorn on it, so of course we'd need a "bag of popcorn" cake! I LOVE to design cakes this way. Sometimes they are almost identical to the invite and other times the invitation simply serves as a launching point for inspiration. For Samara's birthday, the cake was pretty similar to the invitation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597777466181-0MUUEAHCRR44DTXHSF42/popcornribbons.jpg Blog - How to Make a Popcorn Bag Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597777466190-V53EW5T13QN3D5U9F7X0/popcorncanvas.jpg Blog - How to Make a Popcorn Bag Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/ladybug-first-birthday-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488354919-CPXYT8EDG9WBVQH55CFC/image_01.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488354983-4YBIKUVW22UXVZ0FLCDX/image_02.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488355898-ECNJ2IG8DZIQPVJNNCPV/image_03.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488356024-3NHSEJKO7FST2HNCNSF8/image_04.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488356318-WFU6EW46GMRCNF43T4A7/image_05.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596488551557-REH50090E8J5YHAV3735/IMG_7441.jpg Blog - Ladybug 1st Birthday Cake - Pulling it all together I had everything I needed to combine things to make them hopefully exactly how she wanted the cake to be. The pale pink was the main focus color with white and black as our secondary colors. I loved her idea of thin black ribbon as well as the big ladybug on the top. Penelope has a dairy allergy so we made the top tier dairy-free for her. The ladybug is made from rice cereal treats and she is covered in frosting and fondant. Follow my directions for making your own edible graduation caps to make the body of the lady bug. Since this post is about inspiration vs a true how-to, I'll jump straight to the finished cake. I absolutely loved how this cake came out! I think it is such fun that they went with the ladybug theme but used pale pink and black instead of the standard red. https://emoticakes.com/blog/adventures-in-pie monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596314084185-2K6VSD9EWD9RZK4RL15C/IMG_1840-e1497890954914.jpg Blog - Adventures in Pie - Verdict 3 hours after the pie finished baking, my family sat down to enjoy a slice of pie. To our delight, the crust was flaky and tender and the filling was fabulous! The 4 of us have been watching the Great British Baking Show lately, and I confess that this show is another reason I my pie skills felt strong. A visual learner, I think I've picked up some great tips watching the contestants make all things pastry! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596313937121-9DEFY8691V5NMUE09FD0/PIE.jpg Blog - Adventures in Pie - Crust Really the problem for me always comes down to patience.

However, I'm getting much more patient with all the custom cake and cookie work, so I found this was actually FUN. I chose a crust recipe that is a blend between a short flake and a medium flake. The recipe used a blend of shortening and butter, and called for buttermilk powder and apple cider vinegar. I quadrupled the recipe to make 2 pies with double crusts, and found I had the pastry made and chilling in a short time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596314157704-IS4JTOYDBLISS3VEY37G/pie-2.jpg Blog - Adventures in Pie - Filling The pie of choice for the wedding is apple, so this is what I chose for my great pie experiment. Apple pies call for A LOT of fruit (well I guess ALL pies do). I bought 6 pounds of apples and my kind husband peeled and cut all 6 pounds for me. Luckily we have an apple corer and slicer!! I mixed the apples, sugar, spices, corn starch, and cider all together and piled them high into each of my pies. Once the pie was literally FILLED to the brim (and then some) with filling, I covered it with the top crust, brushed with milk and sprinkled with sanding sugar, added vent holes and put it in the oven to bake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/rice-krispies-treat-earth monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594925480419-G8C0F435I3LQP9HG9GDJ/earth6.jpg Blog - Rice Krispies Treat Earth - Let’s make the globe I don't know if there's anyone out there that doesn't know how to make a Rice Krispies treat!! It almost seems like a right of passage to learn to make these crunchy sweet snacks. But, when Xander and I went to make them I realized with all the cake baking I do, we don't make things other than cake that often. I've used them for cake accents and modeling, but it is rare that we have them for the family to eat. We chatted and thought we may have made some for a ski race a couple years back. Anyway, we did know how to make them and we loosely followed the recipe on the back of the box. We chose the stove top version and knew we had to make many batches, each a different color for the different layers of the earth.

Xander was SO excited to be allowed to use my fondant. He carefully rolled out the green fondant and affixed it to his now blue sphere! He also decided to cut a slice out of the earth to label all the layers. His Rice Krispies Treat Earth was complete! He couldn't wait to bring it to class. You can make your own marshmallow fondant or buy prepared fondant.

After he finished his Rice Krispies Treat Earth, Xander tackled the next problem. "How to get kids to vote for his?" Apparently there was a contest of sorts and some peer rating in the class. "Samples." Yes, that's what Xander decided. He'd bring a tray of samples for his class. He didn't try to make complete little models, instead selecting what he thought was the most interesting piece: the core! He added a marshmallow on the top for flair and a warning sign that the sample was HOT! It was fun to hear all about the parade of projects that night! There were indeed pizzas, real globes cut apart to show the interior, cakes and a host of other things. It is always awesome when a hands on project is successful for the fun of creating and the learning that goes with it. The kids had a wonderful, celebratory day enjoying their projects in the classroom. https://emoticakes.com/blog/star-wars-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597096854836-T3O6YT0W21FIQGL5HSU8/image-asset.png Blog - Star Wars Cake - The Design We started with my Star Wars Cake Board on Pinterest. I asked his mom to check it out and see if any of the cakes could be a launching off point for a design. She LOVED one of them pretty much as is so we went ahead and ran with it. We decided to add text, "May the Force Be With you Rhys!" to the cake. She asked for one of my favorite cakes: chocolate peanut butter. Yum!! I planned to fill the chocolate cake with 2 layers of peanut butter mousse filling, frosted completely with peanut butter mousse frosting and then covered in black fondant. For the design, we needed characters for the top of the cake and I needed to find the font for Star Wars and cut it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597096997406-W1BPKM9TSB9XDFWMJIAI/Screen+Shot+2020-08-10+at+6.01.26+PM.png Blog - Star Wars Cake - Characters for the Star Wars Cake As part of his birthday present, he would receive some characters!! I looked around and found a great option for his mom. We'd only need two of them for the cake and then he'd have a full set to enjoy playing with after his birthday party. Available on Amazon, she just had me order them so I'd have them for the cake. I was really excited when they arrived! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597097239601-LPH14H3NM6CT7KP1F9OC/STAR-Wars.jpg Blog - Star Wars Cake - Decorating our Star Wars Cake After preparing the cake with the peanut butter frosting, I covered the cake and used the template I made to cut out the lettering. The original cake design had very tiny stars mixed in with larger stars. My only star cutters are a bit bigger, so my stars are larger. I added the "May the force be with you!" around the outside of the cake board and put his name on the cake for more impact. To finish off the look, I used little black hand rolled fondant balls (3 grams each) for a fun bottom edge. The characters are placed using black royal icing on top of the cake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/linzer-cookies monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597436902911-8OR8Z4DFNN4CKNOEU00G/Linzers.jpg Blog - Linzer Cookies - The Linzer Cookie Recipe I found a great recipe on American Heritage Cooking. It is adapted from Real Simple, November 2010. I made some further adaptations to the recipe, so I'm also sharing it with my changes later in this post. Some observations about this recipe: - It is very similar to my sugar cookie recipe with just a few minor changes - The flour is cut to 2 1/2 cups from 3 cups and the half cup of flour is replaced with 2/3 cup of almond flour - It has 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and of course a sugar cookie recipe doesn't call for this. - It also uses only 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder versus the full teaspoon I use for traditional sugar cookies. - Lastly, it calls for chilling the dough. I just tried rolling it straight away and it worked beautifully. I knew I'd found a great recipe for Linzer cookies when I made the first test batch and my family loved them! https://emoticakes.com/blog/baby-block-cupcake-toppers monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596313608706-T3J7GYALPQ9T7FN26C8A/Baby-Block-Cupcake-Toppers.jpg Blog - Baby Block Cupcake Toppers - How to make baby block cupcake toppers 1. First, select your color palate. For this baby shower, the couple was going with the classic baby block primary and secondary color palate. I would need red, orange, yellow, green and blue. 2. Select your first color. Determine the desired size of your blocks. Roll out a sphere and then use a paring knife to slice the edges to make it square. Repeat for each block. 3. Using a pastry bag filled with white royal icing, pipe each block with a letter from A-Z or a number from 1-9. Pipe little dots on each corner to add some whimsey. I chose to only pipe the top of the block as they would be sitting down on top of a cupcake. However, you could allow the top icing to dry and then repeat the process on all sides. 4. Place them on top of your frosted cupcakes and just like that you have adorable baby shower cupcakes with a baby block theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596313699083-4A4QSIO2EV4YAA6XNILU/Baby-Block-cupcake-toppers-1.jpg Blog - Baby Block Cupcake Toppers - Other ways to use your baby block cupcake toppers Of course you can put these on cupcakes, but you can also add them as a message on any layer cake or cookie cake.

Lay each piece on the top of parchment paper, layering and affixing the layers together with Royal Icing. Allow your cat to dry for several days so that it can stand up around the 6" top cake. For the books, roll out single layers of colored fondant and cut them into rectangles. Then roll out a rectangle of white fondant just a little bit smaller than half of the rectangle of colored fondant. Place that inside the rectangle and pull the colored fondant over the white to make the top cover. Allow to dry along with the cat before using these on the cake.

I was playing with cake pans and drawings one day when my husband popped into my kitchen and asked how the design was going. I had decided on a sheet cake with a round cake on top, but wasn't sure how I wanted to involve the books exactly. He suggested a curved layout with the books arranged in an arc spelling out her name with the Cheshire cat cake placed on the top. Once the design was set, it was time to bake - CHOCOLATE with pink and purple buttercream. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596138512324-F8CWEUM9HTHEO9591YXR/Cheshire-Cat-1.jpg Blog - A Cheshire Cat Cake - Complete the Cake The day you are ready to bake your cake, bake a 1/4 sheet cake and a 6" round cake. Then, frost the 6" cake with pink frosting. I used a rough textured edge and top for the 6" cake and frost the 1/4 sheet cake with a smooth layer of pink frosting. Next, roll out lavender fondant and cut it into strips. I used alternating 1" and 1/2" strips for variety for the cake. Lay them across the back 3/4 of the cake and trim the sides. Place your cake in the freezer to chill. Once your top cake is complete you can lay out your design on the 1/4 sheet cake. I placed a 6" parchment circle on the top of the cake to hold the spot for the Cheshire Cat cake as I arranged the books. After this point, I simply placed 4 straws in the base cake layer to support the top cake and then gently laid the top cake on the 1/4 sheet cake. I added the eyes and nose for the Cheshire cat after putting him on the top of the cake. To keep them in the cake, I used a single toothpick in each one to insert it into the cake. I also used Royal Icing as extra insurance. https://emoticakes.com/blog/stack-of-books-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594923454940-RS1FP75M07PI7EGXF5K9/IMG_4286.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Prepare your book cakes First, bake the cakes. The bride and I agreed that the books would be 2-3 inches high and somewhere between 8x10 and 11x13 in length and width. The bottom book would be the largest and they'd get slightly smaller as they went up. I chose 12x10x2.75 for the bottom book, 9x11x2.5 for the middle book and 8x10x2 for the top book. Because you need to measure to cover the books with fondant, it is important to determine the sizes in advance. For a stack of 3 cakes, you can bake 3 cakes, or bake a larger cake and one smaller cake and cut them into the proper sizes. I baked three full cakes for this project: the first one in a 12x12 pan, another in an 8x12 pan and the last in a 9x13 pan. I cut cardboard bases to the proper sizes for each cake. For the cardboard, I suggest using the Fiskars Rotary Cutting Set for marking and measuring, and an Exacto knife for cutting. Once the boards are prepared, place each cake onto its board. My cakes were just shy of 2 inches tall. I split and filled each cake with frosting to give it the proper height. I also trimmed the cakes to size and crumb coated them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924642151-GT9Z8WXSUV6MKWV7DO4G/IMG_4299.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Cover Your Book When you have rolled out your cover and cut it to size, place the cover on the book. It is important to place it on a chilled, crumb-frosted cake. Remove your cake from the fridge and gently roll your cover around a rolling pin. Starting at the bottom edge of the book, unroll the fondant and pull it across the top. Gently lay it down and then use a fondant smoother to create a smooth surface. After you place the top cover on the book, roll out another piece of the same color of fondant. You will cut this to approximately 1/4" size to edge the 3 exposed edges of the book. This will be your bottom cover. Since it is the only part of the bottom cover you actually see, you don't need to have an entire sheet of fondant for your bottom cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924910180-PD3SHW4HKNA3XUJ87I17/IMG_5485.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Complete it: Your Stack of Books Cake! This cake was a stack of 3 books. Their titles: Materials Engineering, Introduction to Wines, and Distilled Spirits. For the top, the couple decided they didn't want to have a cake topper. I thought about putting the title of the top book on the front cover, and also about putting their wedding date. I couldn't decide, so I called my entire family into my kitchen. My son Xander had the winning idea to put an envelope on the top, seal it with a heart and write their wedding date on the envelope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594923617199-8SJQFI6YR5457B6D8KH6/IMG_4287.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Prepare your fondant When the cakes are all crumb coated, put them in the fridge to chill. You can now prepare your fondant. I worked with a combination of Satin Ice pre-colored fondant, AUI Swiss Massa Americana and AUI gum paste. I love the workability and taste of the AUI product and I enjoy the bright colors, packaging and lower price point of the Satin Ice. I chose not to use paste or gel coloring for this because the Satin Ice fondant provided enough color. It takes some time to properly mix the gum paste, white fondant and colored fondant together. You may use any fondant that you desire, and you can also mix a little bit of Tylose powder (apx 1 tsp per pound of fondant) instead of using gum paste as part of your mix. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594923936636-HOKIITVJDT12Q34ARNKI/IMG_4290.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Add pages to your books When it is time to add pages to your stack of books cake, roll out a strip of white fondant that is the width of the height of your book. For my first book, I needed a 2 3/4" strip of fondant. Roll to the desired length. It is ideal if you can make a strip long enough that you don't need a seam (for my bottom book this is 32 inches long). If you do need to seam things, make your seam at one of the page edges. After you roll out the strip, use a ravioli cutter to lightly make lines for the pages. Be careful not to cut all the way through the strip of fondant. Then, lightly dust with cornstarch and roll up the ribbon of fondant. Then you can gently peel it off and place it against the book edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924739984-N8C6TC66YOO33SLLZDMQ/IMG_4302.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake - Finish the Stack of Books After you have completed your first book, place your supports as shown below. This keeps the next book on the stack from falling into the bottom cake. I used supportive straws cut to the size of the height of the cake. Place 5-6 of them in the cake, spread a layer of icing and then lay the next fully covered book on the top of the first book. Repeat this procedure for the entire stack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924087017-0FSR79K4NG01Z72YDLU3/IMG_4298.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924087676-EVADBHJXJ9XKXAY07V7O/IMG_4296.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924091685-XI205BFVQ28NOC2IQN9C/IMG_4294.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594924092146-XF9G6JCNIW99LSUUSTPY/IMG_4292.jpg Blog - Stack of Books Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/very-hungry-caterpillar-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595516171838-CILG1N4ICJ5Y8A996C8Y/IMG_2709.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595516215507-57DJUBZZJOFNMMD2UOCB/IMG_2710.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595516221300-N2U4TLSN3XTXBTVVJOD0/ladybugs.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595516385929-B4FIG2HAHUP4EH8K51S8/IMG_2708_2.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930584882-G78RB1N0RM8UNWZK9W8M/caterpillar.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake - Make the Cake! When you have your pieces made, let them dry for several days against their forms. This will ensure they are rigid against the cake and can be pulled right off before cutting and serving. This Very Hungry Caterpillar cake is vegan chocolate with vegan vanilla frosting and fondant. Bake your cake and then split and fill it. Each tier has 3 layers of cake with two layers of frosting for filling. Allow these cakes to chill in the fridge while you clean up and roll out your fondant. Covering the cake with fondant instead of buttercream is a matter of preference. I didn't intend to cover this cake with fondant until the weather was extremely humid! Once I had the coat of frosting on and started to think about the pieces staying on the sides of the cake, I decided that we'd have a crisper look and the pieces would stay nicely if the cake was fondant covered. Roll out your fondant and cover each tier. Then, use your favorite assembly method for tiering the cakes. You can use plate separators or dowels. This cake is a 6"/9" and it was only traveling about 4 miles in the car, so I worked with dowels. If you are making a larger cake or traveling a long distance, consider using a system for tiering. Once your cakes are stacked, it is time for the fun part! Embellish your Very Hungry Caterpillar cake with your pieces. I used decorating chalks to give the caterpillar his depth, added his eyes and other adornments like feet, and used leaf tips to pipe green grass/leaves around the entire bottom edge of the cake. To affix the caterpillar and the sun, I made a vegan royal icing to use as glue. I also used this icing to write "Boy" on the leaf. To add the "It's A" I used edible markers. I liked the contrast in color between the two. Lastly, insert your leaf into the cake. I also used a large green straw as support for the leaf. You can't see this straw from the front of the cake, but it ensures that it stays upright enough to read and have a nice effect. I was so pleased with the finished cake! It worked with the party's theme and was a very special centerpiece to welcome a new baby boy into the family. The ladybug cupcakes completed the event with a little bit of fun variety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930342020-IFG4SFE28RDMAH1EVC5M/IMG_2699-e1435073086101.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930342781-5005OSUY6DXWXRBXBRSQ/IMG_2700-e1435073148474.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930343871-KGGS02S99VBA0K8LI0VP/IMG_2701-e1435072946146.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930344429-GJGJGNM42Y1JIDM5KH7C/IMG_2702-e1435073017604.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930344903-52VXII0U0HPWB09QKHCS/IMG_2703.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594930345257-0MJ5PWHSR5CWYG890VOW/IMG_2704.jpg Blog - Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/porcupine-cake-and-porcupine-cupcake-toppers monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427404184-PQ06V81H4JC3Y1HVP9WK/body.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers - Porcupine Cupcake Toppers As with all cake projects, this one started with grand intentions of capturing each step and ended up with one picture of a partially-made body. I am posting it solely because I find it ridiculous that this is all I managed to capture. There were two of us working and neither of us took a break from making 16 porcupine cupcake toppers to get some photo evidence of our work. The body before the back was cut off with a slight curve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427888538-AZNB1F1NR6SG7KPE22ZF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers - The Next Steps Finally it was time to tackle this porcupine. I cut one cupcake into a triangular shape for the nose and used a circle cutter to take a bit out of the second cupcake so that the two shapes could nest together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427813068-FQLJLYGN0KZXK0UEG824/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers - How to Make the Porcupine Top Cake When I got home from my cake deliveries, I decided that the base of the cake would be covered with pink fondant balls to match the color of the ribbon rose on the cupcake toppers. I did that, then laid three green leaves on the top of the cake as a base for my soon-to-be porcupine to sit. I let the frosting that I had placed in the fridge during my delivery come to room temperature again, using the time to work on other cakes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427698997-Z9GPWRZK7DBL12JXTWSB/porcupinecupcakes.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers - Porcupine Cupcake Toppers 1. Make a flesh color for the body, select a brown for the quills, get out a green for the leaf, black for the nose, a small candy for an eye and another color of fondant for the rosebud. 2. You'll need a petal cutter, a small leaf cutter, a small circle cutter and a mid-sized daisy cutter. You'll also want a small rolling pin and some royal icing or sugar glue. 3. Start by rolling out a body (we did one at a a time so they stayed moist and able to accept quills) 4. Then, roll out some brown that is a little thicker than what you used for the body. Use your daisy cutter to cut 5 daisies. Use a small circle to cut the center out of each daisy. This leaves you with your "quills" for the porcupine cupcake toppers. Starting at the back, place them row by row until you get to the front third of the body. 5. Affix your eye with a small dab of royal icing. Make a small black ball for a nose and use royal icing to place it on the nose portion of the body. 6. Lastly, if you are making a female porcupine cupcake topper, roll out some of your colored fondant for your rosebud. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut it into an 1/8 inch width and about a 1 inch length. Roll it up to make a ribbon rose. Roll out some green fondant and cut your leaf with your leaf cutter. Use a bit of royal icing to place them on your porcupine cupcake toppers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427956855-M4REDZCVY1PFXEHIEFJ8/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers - The Porcupine for the cake! Now I could make this mini porcupine cake come to life! I didn't take any more pictures until it was complete. Again, if you want to make it yourself, here is a list of steps. 1. Have your two cupcakes prepared and chilled (it is always easier to work with cold cake if you are cutting it apart), prepare your quills in advance, and have the frosting you'd like to work with ready. You'll also need a small amount of a flesh-colored fondant for his nose area. 2. Cover the triangular cupcake with a thin layer of frosting and then cover with the flesh-colored fondant. Use frosting to attach this to the body of the porcupine. 3. Use two or three thin cake levels to mound up the back of the porcupine. Alternatively, you can slice the bits that are left from your cupcake and use them. I had the levels and they were the right thickness (about 1/4 inch) so I worked with them instead. Take one of your three cupcake pieces and use that to add a bit of extra roundness to his backside. 4. Place him on the top of the cake. 5. Now use a #10 round tip and pipe little swirls for his quills to go in. 6. Insert the quills, taking care to make sure they go all the way into the cake, not just the frosting. 7. Top with any final adornments, including writing or cut out letters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427082477-A3KVFZOGBJMEXIM5E37F/porcupinetoppers6.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427082028-PL1IM52SWDAZJO4LORCO/porcupinetopper5.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427082410-45V0N8Q8IY1MD2W39KE1/porcupinecake2.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427082877-N1RVB1L20RJBZ7GMV3R4/porcupinecake.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427083600-LBDJKPMD56NGR7UZ2PEA/porcupine3.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597427084351-7C79NVINU365CEUAA2L6/porcupine2.jpg Blog - Porcupine Cake and Cupcake Toppers https://emoticakes.com/blog/big-bang-theory-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316313304-JYXU3TXZ7LA38K24S80D/IMG_3186.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316372540-0SIZRG2BHMDNFHPCIRMH/IMG_3176.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316379316-DQODAMUPW41Q13IKK1Q0/IMG_3177.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316383233-SV6Q44R6RJHGVY0X398O/IMG_3178.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316389607-8HYGP4KBPW2WT64I0IBT/IMG_3179.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596316396022-AHAVOIJEOLVSC35CEXY4/IMG_3185.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596137428164-PQTH3Z75YPMYQF764B8F/bigbangset.jpg Blog - Big Bang Theory Cake! - Cake Research This was fun. I found several images of the show's set. They gave me the additional information I needed to modify the design. I loved the carpet and the wood floor. I would add those things to make it just a little bit different. I considered changing the blue but ultimately decided to go with it. It was a bright color that helped make everything pop and it worked against the couches and other accents. This would help me design things for the Big Bang Theory Cake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/elephant-baby-shower-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402241816-EJBTV28Q7FH2Y06G6XZO/IMG_2898.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake - Elephant Color gum paste a pale blue color and then form it into an elephant shape based on the picture. Make the trunk from gum paste and then attach it to the elephant body with a toothpick and a little royal icing. Using a heart cutter, cut out a little heart for his side and use edible marker to mark his eye. For the balloons, roll out gray gum paste and insert jewelry wire with a little bit of royal icing to affix them. The balloons and trunk are the trickiest part of this project. The balloons may want to spin on their wires. This is what happened when I made them, so I used royal icing to stop the spinning. When you finish the elephant, cut out the gray base with a scalloped edge cookie cutter. Allow the elephant to dry. You may need to prop up his trunk so that it doesn't slip down as it is drying. I was so busy forming the elephant that I didn't take pictures of this part of the process! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402769741-MMLU79R4TCAKA1AGK9UE/IMG_2892.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402769865-B9KOM74PKD9EZNRT7K4I/IMG_2893.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402771719-IDKU58ZLTJNR1HLZ6ZFP/IMG_2894.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402771681-B4RWKRNP7LWT9GNN8OWY/IMG_2895.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402773509-9CIULGNOOM4UXMII1OXY/IMG_2897.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402485768-C73GVTEUWTK6CNBSTZ02/IMG_2876.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402485714-JMU7VVVST8VHB4MN2O6J/IMG_2877.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402489245-Z4OXLUKVRRJZZ5ONMF9K/IMG_2878.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596402489351-IDSHEZ74UOU6BCV60EJJ/IMG_2879.jpg Blog - Elephant Baby Shower Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/back-to-the-80s-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860540074-N2UXXNA0GHMZNOAV45UK/IMG_1496.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860540329-Z71WVKW9JXGJQRNDVF78/IMG_1494.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860542676-8UPF26M49T3MX24QA4QG/IMG_1487.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860543230-56YJF7FI6URB7WP4NH9Q/IMG_1484.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860683108-FSDD18EBM240MTVVLRPM/IMG_1493.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake - Make your “Back to the 80s” cake! - The black frosting is a very dark chocolate frosting made with black cocoa. It has black food coloring, but not nearly as much as you'd need if you started with regular chocolate frosting or with vanilla. - The Rubik's cube is made from Rice Krispie Treats. It is then coated with individual fondant blocks and held together with black icing. - Make the stars from gum-paste and allow them to dry fully (3-4 days is perfect). - Plan your cake before you order any edible images or sculpt any figures. Using cake pans, rough out the figures, draw your design etc. This ensures that you will fit everything you need in the design. - Use the cake board as part of your display. I used the board for the 80s sunglasses and the Nintendo controller. It adds dimension to your cake! - If you are sculpting things that will rest directly against a curved cake edge, allow them to dry against the edge of the same size cake pan. They'll dry with the right curvature for the cake they're leaning against. If you are making your own 80s cake and have questions, let me know. I'm happy to help! Have you made your own? I'd love to know what TV shows, characters and items you chose to use for yours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597860364643-SLQ1ONWV8TURXV03MJ00/80s-cake.jpg Blog - Back to the 80s Cake - First steps! I had the opportunity to make a cake bridging all these things together for a special 30th birthday party! The best part: the top of the cake would be a Rubik's cube! Who didn't spend hours of their 80s childhood trying to solve this puzzle? When the customer first asked me to make the cake, I wasn't sure how best to begin. She had some pictures of cakes that she liked and she had a list of what she wanted included on the cake. It was for her husband's 30th surprise birthday party. In addition to the fun outside, she wanted the cake to have a colorful inside. https://emoticakes.com/blog/ladybug-cupcakes monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597175214342-UQGE45U5AJREBMQW0F9E/IMG_2710.jpg Blog - Ladybug Cupcakes - Attach the head to the body After you've rolled out your ladybug heads using black fondant, attach them to the red bodies. If your bodies are still tacky, you can add the black directly to the body. If they have dried a bit, use royal icing, sugar glue, or melted candy melts to connect the head to the body. Use a small gum paste tool to press a line down the middle of each body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597175259294-3TE7N3DR6AWZ20FVPZFJ/IMG_2709.jpg Blog - Ladybug Cupcakes - Leaves! Because this is Eric Carle-themed, you will want to have some striations in your green fondant. To do this, add some white to your green and mix only slightly. You may also add yellow for variety. Use a gum paste rose leaf cutter for cutting. The cutter is is a plunge cutter, so you may press it to embellish the leaf. However, I chose not to use that feature for this project. Eric Carle leaves need a less realistic approach, so I used a gum paste tool to press a single line down the middle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597175149180-Y3VO6CAAQL7YXYQGK00H/IMG_2708_2.jpg Blog - Ladybug Cupcakes - Roll out balls of red Use a standard amount of red fondant so your ladybugs are all roughly the same size. If it is humid or you work quickly, you may leave them uncovered. Otherwise, cover them with plastic wrap so they don't dry out while waiting for embellishment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597175327675-PUOWX7YNC6HD5C9BMAP8/IMG_2711.jpg Blog - Ladybug Cupcakes - Embellish Now let's make those little ladybugs really look like ladybugs. It is up to you how much you want to embellish. Should they have eyes? Do you just want them to have spots? I chose to add spots only and lay them on their leaves. These cupcakes were about completing the theme, not about being truly realistic ladybugs. Once I laid them on their leaves, I let them dry in their flower formers so that the leaf would retain a curved shape when it was placed on top of the cupcake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/hidden-treasure-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594766081574-1TZPXBARPN6XB0X2T4LS/IMG_1760.jpg Blog - Hidden Treasure Cake - Finishing Touches Decorate your main cake and fill your treasure bin with the chocolate “loot”. I chose to decorate my main cake with grass and water, using a grass tip and a spatula to make the water and grass. For the bottom boarder, pull in any color you would like as accent. Place a few coins around the edges to add to the theme, and consider putting a pile of brownulated sugar for a sand island on the cake. Now you have a hidden treasure cake for your party! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594765915912-DMKHA6ISM2OQ2Q99Q0I3/IMG_1759.jpg Blog - Hidden Treasure Cake - Add the treasure For the treasure, I placed Kit Kat bars around the edge of the round cake. This makes it look like a barrel. Then, add brownulated sugar as the sand for the treasure bin in the hidden treasure cake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594765645321-0DJPPRSWTM4HXF1NKYZ8/Treasure+1.jpg Blog - Hidden Treasure Cake - Start First, bake the cakes, cool and place on your board. I also made a banner from fondant to say “Happy Birthday Eamon” to jazz things up. You can wait to place this all until you are finished, or place it at the beginning. I chose to place it at the beginning because I like to see progress happen quickly, though frosting would have been easier if I placed it at the end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594765797698-0EH0A22VXTYP79VL5FEP/IMG_1757.jpg Blog - Hidden Treasure Cake - Crumb Frost Next, crumb frost the cake and make the treasure map. For the map, I rolled out a thin piece of tan colored gum paste and formed it into a scroll. It dried quickly, but this is something you could do the day before if you would like to. Once dry, I drew the treasure map using an edible marker. Crumb frost your hidden treasure cake after your map is ready. https://emoticakes.com/blog/swimming-pool-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595449269410-RUYVX7ECXYUAXDDAATWR/IMG_1589.jpg Blog - Swimming Pool Cake - Add a slide, towel and umbrella! Time for adornments! Simple paper umbrellas and a slide fashioned out of gum paste made my cake a lot of fun. The beach towel, girl in the pool, flowers and the ball are all made from fondant. If you like, you can use Disney Princess dolls, Polly Pockets or any other little dolls that you think will work. To make the water, use pre-made or homemade piping gel. For the small quantity needed for this cake, homemade works out great and is really easy. You can get the variations in the water by splitting your piping gel into two bowls and coloring one bowl a slightly different shade of blue than the other one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595449199430-UTZXWP5IFUNBM8YF16SM/IMG_1587.jpg Blog - Swimming Pool Cake - Embellish your pool cake Begin embellishing the cake. This pool is an above-ground pool, so the blue fondant represents the paneling on the side of the pool. Adding flowers and foliage jazzes it up a bit, too. This can be as simple or as complicated as you'd like it to be. Affix the panels and other decorations with buttercream or royal icing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595449032038-CNA130QT4G8R0Y8HETEE/IMG_1581.jpg Blog - Swimming Pool Cake - Start your swimming pool cake First, bake a 10" or 12" round cake in the flavor of your choice. Mix up a batch or two of of your favorite frosting and have several colors of fondant handy. You can use toys for the pool or you can sculpt your own depending on your preference. I used a 10" red velvet cake with three layers of cake and 2 layers of cream cheese filling. Before adding the top layer of cake, I froze it and carved out a 6" circle. With the layer of cake frozen, it was easy to place it on the top of the other layers. Once all the layers are on the cake, finish with a light crumb coat and place it in the fridge to chill. During this time you can prepare for the next steps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595449132607-M9FFF3MSNFPS3217INT1/IMG_1586.jpg Blog - Swimming Pool Cake - Cover your pool cake with fondant Roll out your fondant. For a 10" cake that is approximately 4" tall, you'll need an 18" circle of fondant. Roll out your fondant, using cornstarch or powdered sugar underneath your rolling surface so that it doesn't stick to the counter. When the cake is sufficiently chilled, place your fondant on top of the cake. Use your hands and/or a fondant smoother to create a beautiful finished canvas to begin decorating. https://emoticakes.com/blog/where-the-wild-things-are monthly 0.5 2020-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597778861841-9HRNTGHIDZ8909NO8EKI/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Where the Wild Things Are - The Cookies! I absolutely LOVED making the cookies. It is fun to work from a picture, play with Royal Icing and fondant and make beautiful cookies. I really appreciated having the picture to work from for the Wild Things cookies. Thanks to Nikkiikkin.com for the inspiration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597778812076-NHSHWDTSHYCGLABZWWHN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Where the Wild Things Are - Getting Started Pinterest and Google Images have changed the landscape of cake design. In years past when a customer emailed or called to order a cake, usually it would start with a theme. Most of the time I had free reign to figure out the direction of the cake. This was great FUN and sometimes extremely challenging! In fact, in the first several years of cake designing, I copied only one cake - a Martha Stewart teapot cake. Now, most of the time I receive multiple pictures from Pinterest or screen shots from Google Images. It is a completely different type of challenge while still being A LOT of FUN! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597779025268-WMSDGQ05SC1AV7ZNYJ56/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Where the Wild Things Are - The Finishing Touches! This entire cake was for Beau and his guests for his first birthday party. His mom asked if I could make the two little monsters on the front of one of the inspiration cakes. I didn't include them in the design but I did think that I could do it. However, when the time came to make them, I wasn't reasonably sure that they'd add to the cake instead of detracting. They felt a little out of my comfort range for doing them in a lovely way, and I was worried that if they were poorly executed they'd detract from the cake's look. Luckily Beau's mom was super understanding, and we had the great monster cookies for our Wild Thing component. https://emoticakes.com/blog/giant-smash-cupcake monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594754991612-8ACBCO7HPHP8E9YLRBQ5/beausmash.jpg Blog - Giant Smash Cupcake! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594754734255-VFTV091V0KZTRD5VQ3E3/Giant-Cupcake-Beau.jpg Blog - Giant Smash Cupcake! https://emoticakes.com/blog/puppy-cupcake-toppers monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594656265908-ZPHCSTV1YDD2MRAOY00X/IMG_3888.jpg Blog - Puppy Cupcake Toppers - The Final Steps I finished these puppy toppers by adding the noses (a small piece of chocolate fondant with two little indents for nostrils), more mouth detail and little black fondant eyes with some white to add realism. Thinking that green would be a great background icing color, I frosted the cupcakes with green icing and placed the toppers on the cupcakes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594654234372-CWG3VX4U7EIT784UVQ14/IMG_3878.jpg Blog - Puppy Cupcake Toppers - To Start I cut out the picture of the dog and drew his features on parchment paper to get a feel for what he would look like when sketched. I cut out the outline of the drawing I’d made and used that as a cutting template https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594654558581-1C8X2RL10OONPYK3V13W/IMG_3881.jpg Blog - Puppy Cupcake Toppers - Decorate the faces I realized that I would need to take the dog faces off the purple background to allow me to add the features. I worked on them carefully in sets of 3-8. I made the features rather smudged and rough, as they’d be getting a fondant nose and eyes on top of this background. After the details were all added, I put a small piece of fondant on the top of the purple backing. This would serve two purposes: to help it to adhere well, and give the dog faces a third dimension. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594654376273-F3SNVI8WM6STBIDP4MEJ/IMG_3880.jpg Blog - Puppy Cupcake Toppers - The Next Step I cut out purple circles for the base. Then, I used the parchment template to cut out 19 dog heads! After cutting the heads, I laid them on top of the purple circles so they’d begin to adhere. I added the features one later at a time. I began with the left ear and followed with the right ear before adding features with the non-toxic decorating chalks. https://emoticakes.com/blog/yearbook-cake monthly 0.5 2020-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595448368550-6HVW58O8F6BNZ43VUOO9/IMG_0734.jpg Blog - Yearbook Cake - Background The girls sent me pictures for me to order edible images. I love working with Sweet Express Images, so I placed my order with them, knowing they'd arrive exactly how I liked them. This cake was a double layer 1/2 sheet, with both chocolate and vanilla cake. The chocolate cake formed the base layer and the vanilla cake formed the top layer, sculpted to look like an open book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595448536000-HD39Y68HL5BUN08WEZHL/IMG_0732.jpg Blog - Yearbook Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595448591133-IDBQ9UN2NQSOE5BHQK8M/IMG_0734+%281%29.jpg Blog - Yearbook Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595448536290-76E5T56X6ACO5A6JJXOR/IMG_0730.jpg Blog - Yearbook Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595448538389-6FO0K8LBID12TP8ZOR2A/IMG_0728.jpg Blog - Yearbook Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/rock-climbing-wall-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704055154-DL18MUQ1R8L3BR9A3QPI/IMG_1210.jpg Blog - Rock Climbing Wall Cake - Time for Fondant I used gray fondant as a base and added in bits of chocolate, black and white to make a marbleized rock looking surface. Have fun with this! The best rule of thumb is to stop mixing before you think you are done. This will help the "rock" seem realistic and avoid the trap of having it blend into one color. Roll out your fondant evenly and cover the entire mountain. Because this is a tall, oddly shaped cake you will need to roughly estimate the size you need. Measure the height and double that in both directions to have a general guide of the size you'll need. You don't need a fully smooth surface - it is a ROCK after all. That is one of the fun parts of this cake. You can overlap fondant and it will even look ok if it is on the "messy" side if you aren't a pro at smoothing fondant yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704148954-OLYFFJN9II2VUJL7CHQT/IMG_1212.jpg Blog - Rock Climbing Wall Cake - Adding the Details! To make the little climbing wall accents mold fondant into little nubs and use a toothpick to place them into the cake (you could also use royal icing). I used a gum paste/fondant mix to sculpt the rock climber and then made the flag from paper and a little yellow cocktail type stick. As you add those rock holds and the person (or people?) your climbing wall cake will take shape and start to look like a real mountain! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595703964856-598K0W9O5YI47LLVMTLT/IMG_1208.jpg Blog - Rock Climbing Wall Cake - Making the climbing wall cake You can see in the picture that this is a HUGE pile of cake! You can make this whatever size you want, but keep in mind that your cake needs to be stable enough to stay standing. I used a single layer 9" cake split and filled, followed by two layers of 8" cake split and filled and finished the top off with 1/2 of an 8" cake layer cut and layered to make a split and filled 1/4 layer. This cake was vegan chocolate, filled with dairy free peanut butter frosting. After assembling the piles of cake, I put it in the fridge to set-up. You need it to be very firm to receive the fondant covering. Before covering with fondant, removed it from the fridge and top it with a pretty substantial layer of frosting to make the "rock" have a nice shape. Then, put it back in fridge to fully chill. You may recruit the help of your freezer for this process if you aren't too patient, or use the time to prepare your fondant and other decorating supplies. You want your climbing wall cake base to be strong and sturdy for the covering of fondant. https://emoticakes.com/blog/diy-edible-graduation-cap monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705451790-0HU5G339NMX2RL1YWZS0/IMG_6237.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705451833-SD5BHFZ9X7VELF4BI90M/IMG_6238.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705458501-VCPS2P1M4SWAAP0969YF/IMG_6235.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705452382-WMILEH56568LG81TW6KF/IMG_6239.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705692166-4X5QFQ256V5XCMC4668Z/A1B251F5-E0C5-4627-A0B5-C6E9AB331764.JPG Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap - Step 4: Make the Tassel When I was in graduate school, my program had an August completion date. As a result, we missed walking through a graduation ceremony in May, but we were told that we could participate in the December ceremony. I didn't care about walking through, but I wanted my tassel. Years later I still remember raising my hand in class and asking if we could get our tassels! The entire class chuckled as no one was very concerned about this small tidbit. I don't even remember if I ever got a tassel, but I think about that story every time I make a fondant graduation cap. For this you need to roll out a mixture of 50% gum paste and 50% fondant. You want your tassel to remain pliable for placing, but be stretchy enough that it rolls out well. Once you have made this mixture, roll out 3 equal sized ropes. You will braid these 3 ropes together to form your tassel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705274443-56EI5KIVORIFT2C60F7G/IMG_6240.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap - Step 2: Make the Top While the hats are setting up, it is a great time to make the top of your cap. For this you'll need gum paste because it dries rock hard. You can make your own using fondant and Tylose powder, or you can use gum paste. Roll out your paste and cut out a 4x4 square. Use this template for a perfect 4x4 square. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705117016-Z3EF5YJABLLQBEX7EQEA/IMG_6232.jpg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap - Step 1: Make the Cap For this you'll need a jumbo muffin tin lined with parchment paper strips and greased. Put your Rice Krispie treat mixture into the cavities. The parchment paper strips make it easy to remove the Rice Krispie treats. Now your caps need some time to set up. You may let them sit out and rest for awhile, or you can place them in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595705765603-EQKVJR2RFBQOFRG6XGQP/image-asset.jpeg Blog - DIY: Edible Graduation Cap - Step 5: Assemble You will need to make sure that the top of your cap is fully hardened before this step. Once it has hardened, use a bit of royal icing on the top of the cap and affix the top of the cap onto the cap itself. Then, lay your tassel on the top, draping it down nicely over the side. Finish it off with a little button of blue fondant to match your cap and top. Now you have a completed grad cap that you can use as is, or adorn with royal icing to decorate it for the graduate's cake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/donald-duck-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704688619-6L44VXA4XONA8I58V0IF/IMG_1796.jpg Blog - Donald Duck Cake - Inspiration My son loves all things Donald Duck this year! For his family birthday celebration with his sister (celebrating both of their birthdays) we decided that he could pick the cake decoration and she could choose the flavor. Their choices came easy; chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse frosting and Donald Duck on top. Making Donald was a blast! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704390200-G9RKC3DEZOKW5YL8UK64/IMG_1790.jpg Blog - Donald Duck Cake - Choose your image Choose your image, and cut out the outline. Cut and roll out fondant to cover the entire image, then use a sharp knife to cut around the edges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704477576-BDXLVBI4GG2UHMHV9M8F/IMG_1791-e1415480159752.jpg Blog - Donald Duck Cake - Add features Slowly disassemble the image and create layers with fondant. Cut apart the distinct shapes that make up Donald Duck's face. I started with the little ribbon and the top black band from his hat. Next, I moved to his fluffy feather features, cutting out holes where his eyes would go (while leaving the base layer of white intact). Carefully roll out each feature, layering until you have the final Donald! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1595704623788-5QZVS40TWM5Y083XK8RM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Donald Duck Cake - Embellish! The last step now that everything is all layered on the character is to use edible marker to add the outlines. This step is optional. If you prefer a more casual look without the two dimensional feel, you can leave Donald this way. However, a quick outline can make his features pop out a little more for the final presentation. Place him on the top of the cake and decorate around him! https://emoticakes.com/blog/volleyball-cookies monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596821096979-GQJ1SP4LGJH3AFGJGYSN/IMG_1781.jpg Blog - Volleyball Cookies - Making the cookies A volleyball is large, so my largest circle cutter (3”) seemed inadequate. Instead of buying a cutter, I decided to try out the cookie stencil technique that I will be using for ballet shoe cookies in a few weeks. I made a 4.5” circle stencil using thick plastic and used it to trace the cookies for the volleyballs. I made the dough, rolled it out, cut the cookies, baked them and added finishing touches. These giant cookies are buttery, sweet and a delicious treat after dinner! For the volleyballs, I used a combination of royal icing and rolled fondant. The icing helped the fondant adhere to the cookie, and the fondant gave a lovely smooth surface for drawing the volleyball details on the cake. When the volleyballs were all ready, and the fondant was dry to the touch, I used edible marker to draw the volleyball lines on the cookies. The result: a beautiful tray of large cookies for the team to devour! https://emoticakes.com/blog/walrus-cake-wally-for-short monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596820607171-RHBCLL8TD27QTHF0YA0Y/walrusblogpic.jpg Blog - Walrus Cake (Wally, for short!) - Step by Step! 1. Bake your cakes and allow them to cool. I used two 12" round cakes for Wally. Prepare a thick buttercream frosting. Cut out your cake board to desired shape and begin sculpting your cakes. 2. Add height to your walrus and add his head. Use your knife to trim little pieces of cake as needed. Place all the cake trimmings in a bowl. You'll use them in step 3. 3. Combine all the cake trimmings with frosting and mix until you have a nice, spreadable mix. 4. Use an offset spatula to spread the mix over the top of the sculpted cake. Smooth out any imperfections until you reach your desired coverage. 5. Roll out your chocolate fondant and cover Wally. I covered each limb one at a time. 6. Continue covering his body and adding details. 7. Cover his head, being careful to trim carefully to avoid noticeable seams. You may also do this all in one step by covering his entire body. I opted for smaller areas because he was so large. 8. Add his features. 9. Add his tusks. The tusks are made from gum paste and are held into his head with straws. https://emoticakes.com/blog/present-cake-with-a-gum-paste-bow monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594833993830-W8HWPAFWMI2CWYNS0T28/alexmartini.jpg Blog - Make a gum paste bow - Elegant Present Cake Make your bow using gum paste and a few simple steps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594653768824-DNCY3KWHOH1FAD9LETEX/alexmartini.jpg Blog - Make a gum paste bow - Place your bow on your cake! Now that your bow is finished, you may add to the top of your prepared cake. If you’d like to have a ribbon on the sides of the cake, add this before you place the bow.

Roll out the gum paste until your desired thickness is reached (1/8” works well). Make 20 loops of varying sizes (roughly 5 longer loops, 5 of the next size down and so on until you reach your shortest loop length). Allow to dry at least 2-3 hours. Build your gum paste bow! Trim the edges to a center point, cutting away on each side. Now, flatten a piece of fondant to about 1/4” thickness (not gum paste) and press your second largest loops into them. Add another layer of fondant and then add the next layer of loops, staggering. Finish your bow! Continue this process, adding discs of fondant, until you reach the top of the bow. You will need to turn the top loops sideways to have a nice three-dimensional loop. Your longest loops are left. Lay the longest loop where you want the bow to go on the side. Top with the remaining finished bow. https://emoticakes.com/blog/owl-cake monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594756273331-CRKGP9IEAIVRR8IIULTQ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Owl Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594756767278-OYTAFNTJRLUZ1ACU0VAU/myaowl.jpg Blog - Owl Cake https://emoticakes.com/blog/sculpting-with-tootsie-rolls monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594817235363-0JUOTLMOLVYG1YJM2GL1/IMG_8069.jpg Blog - Sculpting with Tootsie Rolls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594755372911-LP47SFEH8MDWGZFM5AHH/tootsie.jpg Blog - Sculpting with Tootsie Rolls https://emoticakes.com/blog/rainbow-cake-topper monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594686515543-2FV4QI3W1O41JFZ7YQD3/IMG_3314.jpg Blog - Rainbow Cake Topper - Adding the finishing touches Use a circle cutter to cut little clouds for the bottom of the topper.

The cake shown on the left is three layers of lemon cake with two layers of lemon cream filling. After you bake, fill and frost the cake, it is time to put the sprinkles on! It is a good idea to get a big sheet pan or cake pan for the excess sprinkles to land in so they aren’t all over your floor. Add the sprinkles by gently pushing a small handful onto the cake and allowing the excess to fall off repeatedly. Your cake is covered when you don’t see any gaps and you have tons of sprinkles falling off every second.

This cake is a 9" round cake, the perfect size for working with edible paper. First, bake your favorite cake. Split and fill the cake with your desired filling. I enjoy having 3 layers of cake and 2 layers of filling. This means you will split one layer in half and just level the 2nd layer. First, place one of your split layers down on the board, then fill with about 1 cup of filling. Lay your full cake layer down and top with filling. Finish by topping with the last half layer and crumb frosting the cake. Use your favorite frosting to frost the cake and then you are ready to make the peace sign. Make sure to keep the top of the cake frosted in white, but the sides may be any flavor or color you like. We'll pipe the top color on the cake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596727493958-M9SWILSKO8FNXDWDHBYO/peacesign.jpg Blog - Peace Sign Cake - Creating the Cake! 1. Draw & Cut: First you can either draw your own peace sign or look at clip art for your image. Print or draw the image to a size that will fully cover a 9" round cake. 2. Prepare your work surface: Now, you will cut out your peace sign that is printed on regular paper. Lay the cut out peace sign on top of your edible paper and carefully cut through both the paper and backing. Get your airbrush out and plugged in. 3. Color the Peace Sign: Bring your blank peace sign on edible paper over to your airbrush workstation. Fill your airbrush with your first color. I find that starting with the lightest color and working to the darkest color works best. Spray some of your peace sign with your lightest color. Clean your airbrush. Repeat with each color until your entire peace sign is filled in with your desired colors. 4. Place on cake: Gently peel the backing off your peace sign and lay the image on your frosted cake. I find that putting the image in the freezer for 30 seconds allows it to peel more easily. 5. Embellish: Now it is time to complete your embellishment. Using a #16 star tip, pipe little stars in the open spaces on the top of the cake. Then, switch to a #21 star tip and pipe a shell border around the top. For the bottom of the cake, keep your #21 tip but pipe big round swirls and top with a large sprinkle. https://emoticakes.com/blog/angry-bird-cupcake-toppers monthly 0.5 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594578898499-975517FDHG36BIFQ9SZZ/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-07-12%2Bat%2B2.33.11%2BPM.jpg Blog - Angry Bird Cupcake Toppers - Step One If you have angry bird stuffed animals, grab the ones you want to make and bring them to your work space.

Gum paste tools Mat or parchment paper rolling pin https://emoticakes.com/blog/make-your-own-alligator-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596313195815-68R7LFOOL39UZI9H1DK0/alligators.jpg Blog - Make your own Alligator Cake - Making the Alligator! 1. Roll out the alligator heads with green fondant: Start with round balls and then slightly elongate them. 2. Use small pieces of white fondant to make eyes: Roll into round balls and place on the alligator heads. Allow to dry slightly and then use an edible marker to draw in the pupils. If you don't have a marker, use a small piece of black fondant for the pupil. 3. Make the alligator body: Use a larger piece of fondant and roll it out into an oblong shape. Angle it slightly and make it slimmer on the back to look like a tail. Then, use petal tip #102 to make scales on the back of the alligator. 4. Complete the Body: Roll out four legs for your alligator and attach them to the completed body. Use a small beading tool or knife to mark toes on the feet. Roll out very small balls of green fondant for the nose. Use your beading tool to make a little circle in the center of each nostril. Use the same process to make the lion and monkey toppers. 5. Decorate the Cake & Cupcakes: If you have made your cupcakes, cover some of them using a leaf tip of your choice to give them a bit of a jungle feel. Place the lions and monkeys and alligators on the cupcakes. For the small round alligator cake for the birthday child, cover it with swirls of blue frosting to look like water. Edge the bottom of the cake with your leaf border and cut out several fondant flowers. Top with 2 alligators to look like they are swimming in the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596313147508-YTOJ3T54APHQPVURU5C9/alligators1.jpg Blog - Make your own Alligator Cake - Get Started: Ready to sculpt lions, monkeys and alligators?** They will keep for quite some time in an airtight container, so you can make them whenever you like. Make sure you have designed your plan for your cupcakes and cakes if you make them ahead. This way, you won't find yourself rushing to make more at the last minute! Before you begin your sculpting, you'll want to have a knife and a beading tool, several colors of fondant and some edible markers. Now you are ready to make your own alligator cake, and cupcakes to go with it. https://emoticakes.com/blog/cars-cake monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596140809847-KJB4IWC95L2X298LKM9B/jonathancars.jpg Blog - Cars Cake 4. Make the bottom border: Roll out white and black fondant and cut into small squares. Alternate the squares around the bottom of the cake. Use a flower cutter to cut out clouds. You will need your knife to cut out carefully around. You may also use frosting for your clouds. Place your center emblem on the cake. 5. Embellish: Use a grass tip to frost the center and sides of the road to look like grass. Add a few bits of grass around the bottom as well. Use white fondant to form the white stripes in the road and place the Cars on the road with sugar glue or frosting. Jonathan’s mom and I chose real cars for Jonathan. It was a nice birthday present for him, and well let's be honest, it saved me from sculpting 6 realistic looking miniature cars! Secure the Piston Cup to the cake. You may simply place it on top, or if you have a skinnier straw or skewer you can run that through the center of the support straw. I did the latter and it remained well secured to the cake on a 30 minute delivery drive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596140393356-OYILJH7RWYZ020WMXB5H/IMG_0947.jpg Blog - Cars Cake - Start with a Design Sketch Are you interested in making your own Cars cake? Start with a design sketch. Your design conveys your ideas to your customer but it is also great for honing down the steps that you'll need to follow. I was thrilled when the customer liked my very first idea! She was very forgiving of my rough sketch, somehow trusting that it would look fantastic in frosting. At this point I knew that the Piston Cup would require an airbrush and gum paste with some support. The birthday boy was totally cool with using either fondant modeled cars OR real cars on his cake. Before you begin decorating you'll need to bake your favorite cake recipe. This cake is a 10" cake, so make sure to properly size your recipe to make enough batter for the pans. A 10" pan typically takes 1 1/2 recipes of cake. Prepare your frosting and then fill and crumb coat the cake. I used sky blue as a base coat for the cake after the crumb coating layer. After you apply your base coat of frosting to your cake it is time to start decorating! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1596140563669-Q0JMGEVJZQFD73WC8BHP/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Cars Cake - Create your Cars Cake 1. You'll need a 10" parchment round. Roll out black fondant to completely cover the 10" parchment round. Then, cut away the middle of the circle so that you are left with a road for the top of the cake. Transfer this parchment paper and fondant to a rimless baking sheet. Freeze for 5 to 10 minutes. After the time in the freezer, remove the fondant carefully from the parchment paper. It will be cold and easy to transfer. Gently lay on top of your frosted cake. 2. Begin adornments: For the name emblem piece you'll need red and gray fondant, silver luster dust and a black edible marker. Roll out your gray fondant into a rope and gently form into a V shape. Roll your red fondant out and cut with a knife. Using a dry watercolor brush, use the silver luster dust to gently paint the gray fondant. Now write the name of the birthday party child on the red fondant. Lay the red fondant on top of the silver and set aside. 3. Begin the Piston Cup: You'll need a circle cutter, a lily flower former, a drinking straw and a small sharp knife. First roll out a thick base of colored gum paste and use a circle cutter to cut it out. Next, cut your drinking straw to the size you wish, about 2 inches and wrap around the straw. Roll this until it is thick enough and feel sturdy taking care to leave about 1/4 inch of exposed straw on the top and bottom. Stick the pillar part into the base. Now, roll the gum paste a bit thinner for the cup. Wrap around a lily former to dry and use a circle cutter to cut off excess. Secure the cup to the base, using keeping the lily former until it hardens just a little bit. Next cut out "wings" for the cup and attach them to the sides. Allow to dry until hardened. Use an airbrush, gold leaf mixed with spirits, or a spray can to paint the Piston Cup with edible gold. Allow to dry. https://emoticakes.com/blog/dance-fever-disco-ball-cake-amp-cupcakes monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594926466338-LE7S10BRYLY0DSVWT6RI/discoball.jpg Blog - Dance Fever: Disco Ball Cake & Cupcakes - Steps to making the cake Bake your cake in the Wilton ball pan. Make sure to prepare your pan by spraying with Pam for baking, or greasing and flouring. This will allow for a completely smooth release, making covering with fondant quick and easy. Allow to cool, then use buttercream to connect the 2 pieces. Lightly frost the exterior of the cake with buttercream, then roll out fondant to cover the cake. Trim the fondant to form a smooth edge around the bottom of the cake. Using an airbrush with edible color, airbrush the fondant. If you don't have an airbrush use a color mist. This allows you to have some of the base color peeking through without it looking unfinished. You can also use a colored fondant instead of white so you don’t have to color the exterior. Roll out your first color of fondant. While it is still very soft, press sprinkles into the fondant. Cut into squares. Place tiles on the disco ball. If you have worked quickly, the fondant tiles should stick to the ball. If they are having trouble sticking, make a little sugar glue by mixing up some fondant and water until a thin paste forms or lightly brush the back of each tile with water so that it will stick. Repeat with additional colors until you have finished using all the colors you planned to use. Now your disco ball is finished and ready to show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594926435510-W1BESNC66EY1U8LXON1X/discoball-copy.jpg Blog - Dance Fever: Disco Ball Cake & Cupcakes - About this cake! This cake was for a 60th birthday party. As part of the party plan, I made cupcakes to serve most of the people. The disco ball was only a small part of the overall cake. To make the cupcake toppers, you'll need an airbrush, a stencil, circle cutter, and several colors of fondant. For the cupcake toppers, roll out your fondant and cut circles. Then, using a stencil and an airbrush, airbrush onto the circles. Allow to dry until they are hard enough to hold their shape on the cupcakes. I've detailed the steps in pictures and in writing below! https://emoticakes.com/blog/make-your-own-rice-krispies-treat-tap-shoe monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1597858697238-FEOUS539DBX6XUCSRELZ/tapshoes.jpg Blog - Make Your Own Rice Krispies Treat Tap Shoe - Make your own, Step by step! 1. Make your treat mixture. After you have made the treat mixture, allow to cool until the mixture won't burn your hands. Use your model(s) and form all your shapes. It helps to coat your hands with vegetable oil to avoid sticking. Work quickly and use waxed paper for support if you need something to stand up. Allow to cool. Use your freezer or fridge to speed up cooling. 2. Prepare your base layer. Melt the candy melts and spread your shape with the melted mixture. Place in fridge or freezer until cool. I used red because it is one of the dance studio's colors. Any color will work._ Use your file to file down the edges. You want a nice flat surface for covering. 3. Cover the shoe. Cover with prepared fondant. For the black, we used chocolate fondant with black coloring. The chocolate has a nice taste, like that of a Tootsie roll, and its natural color allowed us to use less coloring. We used a paper towel to add texture to the Rice Krispies treat tap shoe. 4. Roll out fondant to mark off the part that will be the opening for the Rice Krispies treat tap shoe. 5. Embellish. Roll out a thin rope of fondant and place it around the edge of the shoe opening. Add a tongue. 6. Finish adding details. The Rice Krispies tap shoe is fun! You can add eyelets, laces and do some texturing. Elizabeth wanted me to use fun lace colors. Because we made a realistic ballet shoe, I made the tap shoe just like hers. Create the taps of the shoe out of gray fondant. You may spray them with edible silver or paint them with edible silver if you like. 7. You have a Rice Krispies tap shoe. Photograph and enjoy! https://emoticakes.com/blog/gum-paste-ballet-slippers monthly 0.5 2020-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594579209218-9NPY9Z0VTKFPNTSZ0MFO/ballet+%281%29.jpg Blog - Ballet Slippers - Step by Step Gum Paste Ballet Shoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594582591622-0SVNC26L1I2HUNYJ39FM/balletshoepattern.jpg Blog - Ballet Slippers Ballet Slipper Pattern https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed4e2634fa0a52c9cf60eb9/1594581853913-0O38RENOE3ZLTPNE6B4B/Amelia%27s+Home+Decor.png Blog - Ballet Slippers - Gum Paste Ballet Shoes Whether you want to make little shoes to top cupcakes or a larger pair to go on top of a cake, the directions are the same!

Place your sticks in the molds, and lay on the marble slab. Take care to spray the inside of the molds with cooking spray for easier release. A single batch of lollipops will make 12-15. Start the lollipops. Combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup Karo Syrup, and 1/2 cup of water in a pot. Clip your candy thermometer into the pot and set it for the Hard Crack stage (300 degrees). Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Then, you may leave the mixture unattended while it bubbles to reach the temperature you've set (this takes approximately 8-10 minutes). When the thermometer beeps, you'll need to work quickly. Remove from heat and stir in flavorings. To make flavored lollipops, add 1/2 teaspoon flavoring and any desired color. To make chocolate lollipops, stir in 1 package of well mixed Choco bake. Mix the candy mixture until it is no longer bubbling and then gently pour into your prepared molds. If you plan to have sprinkles for adornment, it is important to get them on right away. When I make them with the kids, my daughter comes right behind me with sprinkles and we go down the line of lollipops. Allow the pops to cool in the molds for an hour or longer. Remove from molds and place in lollipop bags. You may use ribbon or tape to seal your lollipops.

Prepare your cakes: This cake used a half sheet pan for the base, and a 9" round for the top. Plan to make about 2 1/2 recipes of your favorite chocolate cake. Bake cakes and cool completely. If you plan to split the cakes, it is best to chill them in the refrigerator or allow to cool overnight. 2. Frosting: Prepare chocolate mousse frosting and vanilla mousse frosting. 3. Split, fill and crumb coat: Split the cakes and fill with the chocolate mousse frosting. Place your half sheet cake on the base you plan to use, and place your 9" round cake on a cardboard round that is the same size as the 9" round cake. Crumb coat each cake. 4. Frosting: Now, prepare your chocolate fudge frosting using your favorite chocolate frosting recipe. The dark canvas makes things pop! Frost your base cake. Then use your vanilla mousse to frost your top cake on the cardboard round. I used a small spatula to make the waves. To make the sandy island, I used brownulated sugar. Simply pour the desired amount on the top of the cake for your island. Put the top cake in the refrigerator, so that it is easier to place it on the bottom cake when ready. 5. Stack: It is time to stack the cakes. Get out 8 straws or dowels. Place them in the base cake, in the area that the top cake will rest on, and cut to the appropriate size. Place the 9" round on the half sheet cake. Pipe, using a #32 star tip, around the bottom edge. 6. Sculpt: Begin to sculpt your sea creatures. I used the invitation (photo above) as my inspiration, and my list of things that Boden loves that his Mom had given me. Have a collection of fondant, clay tools, edible markers, a big roulepat mat, and a small rolling pin. Using a large number cookie cutter, cut out the number for the age. 7. Decorate: Place sea creatures where desired on the cake. Then use a #18 tip to pipe a small border around the bottom edge. Use #18 to make stars around the top edge. For the writing, use a #16 star tip for the base lettering and a #5 round tip for the top border. Finish the cake by making an umbrella in a color matching the number. Cut a circle, then slice halfway through to wrap it around. Tape a popsicle stick in the center and place the umbrella in the cake. https://emoticakes.com/blog/sculpting-legos monthly 0.5 2020-07-15

baking in Emoticakes. My mom was Italian and that meant we always had fresh baked goods in our house. During childhood, I used my Easy-bake oven to bake for my parents. In my teen years, of course I practiced baking in my parents’ kitchen. When my kids were young, I created Emoticakes! The timing was perfect, as my husband and I were slowly becoming fitness enthusiasts. Emoticakes gives me an opportunity to bake for other people’s celebrations without tempting baked goods on my own counter. I run Emoticakes part-time from my commercial kitchen over my garage. Emoticakes offers custom baked cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more in the Ithaca and Trumansburg, NY area. You can catch me during the day teaching 7th grade math in Trumansburg. I look forward to baking for your next celebration or everyday treat.
