Yo Happy B-Day!

This cake was for a little man named Henry who just turned 2. He is a big fan of Yo Gabba Gabba, so I wanted to make a fun cake that highlighted the characters. As an added surprise, I dyed the batter neon colors, which created a cool tie dyed effect. It was a hit with the kids and parents alike. One of the employees at the venue where the party took place said, "I cut two birthday cakes every week at this job and this is the coolest cake I've ever cut into." Sweet!

My friend Kristie commissioned me to make a Mardi Gras themed cake for her brother's 40th birthday. I got this e-mail after the party and it made my day:

"Sarah-

Hi, I'm Kristie's brother and recipient of the mardi gras/birthday cake you made recently. I wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for making such a wonderful cake. It tasted as good as it looked and really made my birthday! You captured the essence of New Orleans in a cake! Thanks again."

2-layer 8'' chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream icing, fondant, wire. Mask: Fondant, sprinkles, feathers.
