Pixars 'Cars' Cake & Cupcakes!

This took a LOT of time.

More time then I had anticipated spending on 12 cupcakes and an 8" square cake.

I have to give props to Pixar because these cars are no joke!

Full of detail, and not the easiest to recreate, by any means.

I am pleased with the way everything came out, but don't be fooled - if you are a beginner in cake decorating, you may wanna practice on a few (million) cars first before diving in.  No joke, this was one of the most complicated characters I have come across yet!

Presenting, Pixar's "Cars" Cake & Cupcakes!!

Happy Birthday James!

Cactus & Clouds

This made my hand hurt by the end, but it was worth the pain!

Sally, Holly and Lightning McQueen Vanilla Cupcakes

Big Thanks to Ariel for coming up with the idea for her son's 4th birthday - and I hope that James had a great birthday party in Steveston!!!

Up next? CAT CAKE (that isn't Hello Kitty)!!!!

MY DREAMS HAVE FINALLY COME TRUE!!!

Stay Tuned :)

Hello Kitty Cake! {w/ Tutorial}

Ever wondered how to make a Hello Kitty that you can eat? 

No? What's wrong with you? ;)

No worries either way , because now I've got you covered.

In the world's most basic tutorial, I will show you how some rice crispies and fondant can turn into an almost "too cute to eat" Hello Kitty to sit on top of your next cake!

Here we go:

Melt marshmellows and mix in rice crispies

Shape them into a Hello Kitty Shape

Cover the shaped pieces in coloured fondant...........

AND VOILA!!!

Now all you need to do is add a delicious double chocolate fudge cheesecake, with dark chocolate ganache drizzled over the top for your kitty to sit on.

Mmmmm. Kitty.

Thanks to Karm (@VancityBuzz) for being a great husband and surprising his wife Sharan with this Hello Kitty for her birthday! 

Happy Birthday Sharan!!

Stay tuned for more "elaborate" tutorials. Next up, Disney's Cars theme!

Game of Thrones Cupcakes

Ever wanted to own the Throne? Well, if you just eat everyone, then it's all yours!!

Here are our version of the Lannister and Stark families from the popular books and tv shows, Game of Thrones!
These bad boys took about 9 hours to get through, and they were worth every second! I cannot WAIT to see the reaction face on Kelly's husband Alex, when he gets these for his birthday today - that is always the best part!

I don't watch the series, but I searched around on the internet and found a .gif someone had done with the characters in cartoon form, which inspired and led me to these...
