Horses and princesses. They can be frightening words to a decorator! Although the concept seems simple and something a decorator would do on a regular basis, they are quite challenging. If you make the eyes on a princess just a bit too close they can look cross eyed. If you make a horses legs a little too short it could pass for a dog (OH those long legs!) Or if the ears are too big, it looks like a Donkey!! The small details can make or break a cake.

A "Car nut" and a dog lover. This cake was made for a 40th birthday party. A silver 1966 Mustang and a Rottweiler was the request. The birthday boy was impressed which made me happy. There are a lot of details that go into a front end of a car like that! (My husband gave me some tips). The car was made completely out of buttercream and the dog was sculpted out of fondant.

So many parties, so many themes!!

Sesame Street has been a children's favorite for years and has definitely been the subject of a majority of my character cakes. This is a classic with four of the characters drawn on the sides of the cake while Elmo fittingly sits on top ( he does reign in popularity).

The bottom tier was chocolate and the top tier vanilla, iced with buttercream.

Cupcakes!!!

This one was made for my sweet little four year old niece Molly. The cake decorations were made of buttercream and the characters were sculpted out of fondant. "We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!"
