      <title>Black and white cake</title>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Black and white cake" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/149124-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>I made this cake for a 60th birthday party.  The original design is by AK Cake Design and she was kind enough to allow me to make a slightly modified version of it.  All the decorations are hand cut from fondant.  I had no idea how I was going to get the designs to meet up in the back but somehow by sheer dumb luck they all met up perfectly!  I couldn&#8217;t believe it!  The only way I could tell the front from the back was to find where the ribbon ends on the cake board met up in the back.  I have a little blue arrow pointing to it in the 2nd photo which is a shot of the back of the cake.  The design was quite time consuming but I loved how it all came together.  Thanks for looking!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Tiffany Box Cake" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/149123-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>This was a quick cake.  I threw the 1st version in the trash because the humidity wreaked havoc on my fondant so I only had a couple hours to pull this one together.  There was a lot I would have liked to do differently but there just wasn&#8217;t enough time.  The birthday girl was happy though so that&#8217;s all that matters:)  Fondant covered cake with hand written logo using edible marker.  Thanks for looking!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Yellow Ombre Heart Cake with Fondant Rose" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/122021-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>I made this cake for a girl&#8217;s 15th birthday who&#8217;s favorite color is yellow.  Since her birthday is near Valentine&#8217;s Day, I decided to use hearts for the design on the bottom tier.  This was my first ever attempt at a fondant rose or any kind of realistic looking flower for that matter.  I used a tutorial from MyCakeSchool.com and it was much eaier that I thought it would be!  Thanks for looking!</p>]]>

His mom chose Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as the theme and invited more than 100 guests to the party so I created this 3 tiered cake for them.  It&#8217;s frosted in buttercream with fondant accents and fondant sculpted characters.  He was asleep when I delivered it but I&#8217;m hoping he was happy when he woke up!</p>]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Candy Shoppe Birthday Cake" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/81675-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>My client requested this cake as a surprise for her daughter&#8217;s birthday so we really tried to personalize it for her.  The mom liked the idea of incoorporating curly wire because she said her daugter has wild hair and the curly wire reminded her of that:)  Her favorite colors are green and purple so I tried to make those the dominating colors.  She also loves whipped cream and watermelon Jolly Ranchers so the cupcake on top was filled with a whipped cream frosting and topped with Jolly Rancher &#8220;sprinkles&#8221; that I achieved by first melting them in the oven and then using a mallot to crush them into pieces.  The gum drops around the base of the cake are actual gum drops but I made the rest of the decorations by hand.  The popcorn is mini marshmallows and the rest is all done in fondant.  Everything is edible except the wires:)</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Pink and Blue Baby Shoes Gender Reveal Cake" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/70214-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>I created this cake for a gender reveal party.  The couple already had 2 daughters so they were hoping for a boy this time.  The cake is covered in fondant with all fondant accents.  The baby shoes are made of fondant as well.  Everything is edible.  I was very pleased to be able to add blue food coloring to the cake batter before baking it!  So excited for their family!  How fun!  Hope I get a chance to make another one again in the future!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Steelers Football Cake" src="http://CakesDecor.com/assets/pictures/cakes/68630-196x130.jpg" /></p><p>I never want to make a cake like this again!!!  It seemed like anything that could go wrong did!  The helmet is carved out of cake and covered in fondant.  I made the gum paste face guard three times as it kept breaking on me and infact the one you see in the photos is not the one on the cake I delivered as it to broke about 40 minutes before the party!  Ugh!  Lukily I had made one extra.  I gave the second tier some texture to resemple that of a football.  The bottom two tiers were inspired by a cake from Cakes by Dusty.  Hope you like it!  It was NOT fun to make but I learned a lot!</p>]]>
