Valentine's Day treats :)

This Valentine's day I did some cute special order heart-shaped cakes :)


The first cake is chocolate with a layer of fresh strawberries, almond buttercream icing, decorated with Lindt chocolate shavings, fresh chocolate covered strawberries, and Dove Bliss pure milk chocolate hearts.

The next cake was chocolate with a layer of fresh strawberries, almond buttercream icing, decorated with conversation hearts :)

Next up was chocolate with a layer of fresh strawberries, chocolate buttercream icing, decorated with conversation hearts :)

The 4th cake was chocolate with a layer of fresh strawberries, chocolate buttercream icing, decorated with pink icing hearts (hint of cherry flavor) and Dove Bliss pure milk chocolate hearts.

Last up is my personal favorite- chocolate cake with Frangelico, Nutella filling, chocolate buttercream, chopped hazelnuts, and Ferrerro Rocher chocolates... mmmmmm :P

Oh, and what is Valentine's day without cupcakes?

Share the love... hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day!!

Sesame Street cake

Today we have an adorable Sesame Street cake made for a sweet little girl for her 1st birthday :)

Each character was hand cut based on a template I created, and Big Bird also had accents done with edible food writer.  The characters and embellishments were done using pre-made fondant, but the cakes were covered in homemade MMF (with a layer of buttercream underneath it).

The top tier was yellow cake, and the bottom tier and smash cake (with Grover) were chocolate.

This was the first time I used an airbrush technique to get a color gradient on each of the tiers, and I am quite pleased with the results :)
