Tangled Cake

So here is my newest creation. I made this for my friends Tangled party earlier today.

 I was originally planning on just making cupcakes but then I saw this cake tower from the movie and I wanted to make something like that. I ended up changing a lot and not really following their tutorial that much.

I used cupcakes to make up the tower with a dowel up the center for support. The base is a small round cake and I did use the ice cream cone for the top.

I made Rapunzel's head out of fondant and the rest of the decorations are royal frosting.

Then I made a bunch of cupcakes. Some had painted fondant decorations and the others had frosting with white chocolate flowers on the top. I think including all the baking and decorating it took about 6-7 hours and I had a couple problems with the tower leaning but after a few more skewers it was fine.
This was probably the most fun cake that I have made since my Tim Burton cake back in January!

Flaming Strawberries!

Here is the cake I decided to make for Valentine's Day a while ago.

As soon as I saw Sprinkle Bakes Flaming Strawberries I knew I had to make them, but I made a cake instead of cupcakes.

I layered a chocolate cake and a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting in between. Then I topped it with a chocolate glaze and used more of the strawberry frosting to hold the strawberries in place.

Then I used Bacardi 151 in the strawberries, which worked really well!

It was so much better than candles.

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes!

I made these with my friend Jeremy for St. Patrick's Day.

 

So the fondant circles are supposed to be gold coins at the end of the rainbow! They also have Bailey's flavored frosting and some little home made shamrock chocolates.

 

The colors in these rainbow cupcakes came out really well this time too!

Minty Delicious Chocolate Cake

This is my most recent creation. I made this for my friend Mike's Birthday last Friday.

It is a chocolate mint cake with layers of chocolate pudding in between the cake. Then I covered it with a chocolate glaze and chopped up Andes mints and fondant stars.

 I also made more mini cupcakes but I topped them with mint frosting instead of chocolate this time.
