TOM'S GERMAN CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE

This is my husband Toms birthday cake.


He requested I make him a German Chocolate cake, with coconut pecan filling.


I added little fondant images shaped into things that remind me of him. The Canadian maple leaf, because he was born there. The Us flag, because he became a citizen a few years back. The LiveStrong logo, because he loves to bike ride, and the green apples because that is his favorite fruit.
I was going to ad a vacuum cleaner, because he really really loves to vacuum, but I thought that would be too much....maybe next year! :)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY BUNNY!!!!

                                           LOVE YOU

ALICE IN WONDERLAND CAKE

This  is a cake I created for a baby shower for a family friend.
                                                                              It's a 12" double layer strawberry flavored round cake, with three 6" layers on top to form the top-hat.
                                                                             The filling is Bravarian Cream with fresh strawberries and bannans, as well as chocolate chips baked into the center layer of the top-hat.                                        
                                                                               All the decorations are of course, edible....except for the cake topper.

I sculpted the tea-pot out of clay and then painted it so that the mother to be can have a keep sake for her new baby...who's name just happens to be "Alice".




The 1/7 on the cake signifies the date of the baby shower.                                                                                                               Back side of cake
