Go Diego Go! Birthday Cake

For some reason, I could not get a really good, clear picture of this one.  It is a 2-tier topsy turvy cake with a flowing stream, palm trees, monkeys, and Diego!  It is funfetti cake with buttercream and fondant decorations.

Lime green and black topsy turvy cake

Well, it's not the best picture with my phone, but it was a really cute cake I made for a co-worker's teenage daughter.

Purple and Black Topsy Turvy Cake

This is a 3-tier topsy turvy cake iced with buttercream, with fondant decorations. It is white cake inside. Thanks, everyone, for continuing to check in on my blog. I have a lot more cakes to post; I still have to go to CVS and get them put on a disk from my phone. Hopefully I'll do that soon, I have at least 10 more to add. Thanks for all of your orders and support!

"Cake Wreck" and Topsy Turvy

There is a funny story with this cake order above. The customer's friend really likes a blog called "Cake Wreck". This blog shows all the mishaps of cake decorating from the time the order is placed, to the time the cake is delivered. The customer wanted to give her friend a bridal shower cake mimicking one of the cake wreck cakes.We also wanted to give it a "walmart tacky" look to it. The bride's name is actually Cari, but she often gets mail with her name spelled Carl so it fits into the cake wreck theme. Her cupcakes were marble, lemon and pumpkin spice flavors.

This is a fun cake for any girl. It is golden butter cake iced with buttercream and decorated with fondant.

Topsy Turvy Cake

I've been wanting to make a topsy turvy cake for a long time. So I just made one for myself this weekend. It's a very interesting process and was a ton of fun to make. Usually the first time I do something new, it turns out to be a total disaster. But I had no trouble with this one. Even the fondant turned out nice on the cake. It's just the second time I've tried covering a cake with fondant and it worked out great. Also my first time making the wire topper. Finding the right kind of wire is difficult. But this worked well. My original idea for the decorations was pink and brown with flowers on the top tier and a bow. My chocolate fondant didn't work. It was too dry to use, so I changed the whole thing. I love pink and green just as much as pink and brown. The cake inside are new recipes too. A new version of strawberry that is absolutely fabulous, and a chocolate fudge brownie cake on the bottom tier. It is so moist and fudgy. My favorite chocolate cake now. I have two strawberry recipes now. The one I made for this one which is Extremely Strawberry and dark pink, and the Strawberry Delight which has real strawberries and cream cheese. Strawberry Delight is a delicate strawberry flavor, light pink, and the cake is so moist and creamy. It is really my favorite one, but Extremely Strawberry is good too. Well, I'm glad I know I can make one of these cakes now and look forward to the next one. Look at http://www.pinkcakebox.com/ for great designs for your topsy turvy cake order!
