Birthday Cake for a Football Fan

One of the most popular themes in birthday parties is the Soccer (or football) party theme.  It is an all time favorite among boys and arranging a soccer theme party is sure to win you accolades from every football fans.  In particular, this cake was made for a Liverpool Football Club supporter.  The whole cake is edible.  Under the LFC logo, we chose to use red velvet cake base and covered it with red fondant icing.  It is red inside and outsite, we believe this cake is an excellent element in a party to ensure a truly memorable celebration for the Reds!

Circus Cupcake Tower

We made twin brothers, Nathan and Ian, a circus cupcake tower for their 3-year old birthday party in May.  This was their first ever birthday party and we wanted to create colorful and cheerful cupcakes according to their Circus themed party.  

 

There was also a popcorn stand, face painting stand, a clown, and "put your head in the hole" boards - all made by us. Mommy also chipped in!

 

To make the colors vibrant for our little patrons, we spent quite some time working on the icing and gumpaste figures.  The tower itself acted as the eye-catching centerpiece and was endlessly attacked with little pokey fingers during the birthday song. 

Both the kids and parents loved every element in our circus cake- the clown, the merry-go-around, the animals, etc....., especially when they are so yummy!  We are always happy to see kids lick all the icing first, and crumbs on their faces!

This is an happy ending of our many hours of hardwork and everyone enjoyed the party and cake very much.

Strange Birds Layered Cake by Cora

Cora and I are good friends as well as passionate bakers, especially in cupcake baking.  Recently, she received a forwarded email from a co-worker about an online cake compeitition.  The contest is based on a fun idea -  turning T-shirt art into edible art.

Competitors are required to interpret a t-shirt design to a cake design.  Among hundreds of T-shirt designs, Cora chose "Strange Birds".  She said it is "challenging but not overly so."  And, here we are, Cora's first layered cakewith fondant!  It is 100% homemade with 100% effort.  It is superb and fantastic!
