Let It Snow

Perhaps it was because we got our first snow of the season this week, or perhaps it's because I've been shivering in my boots all month, but something inspired me to make a snow globe cake. I brought this to the first of 5 (!) family holiday parties I'll be attending this year. It was a lovely time and I'm pretty sure that everyone enjoyed the cake. Everything is edible except for the plastic globe and Frosty's toothpick arms. And because I know you're going to ask, I got him in the globe by magic. Merry Christmas everyone!

2-layer 9'' red velvet cake, 1-layer 6'' yellow cake, vanilla buttercream frosting, fondant, holiday magic.

Home Plate

Baseball season may be over, but cake is always in season! This particular one was for a couple who are huge Orioles fans. They live 2 blocks from Camden Yards and the Mrs. is a ball girl. They wanted to have a get together with their baseball friends so the design was pretty much a no brainer. I used the old O's bird because I think he has way more personality. I had a lot of fun making it and I think it shows :)

8'' golden butter cake stacked with 2 bowl cakes, vanilla pudding, vanilla buttercream icing, fondant and brown sugar.
