Princess Castle




Castles are in fashion this month. This one was for a girls 4-year birthday party. We have a chocolate base and a golden butter cake castle.

Beach Party







This was a birthday cake for a 6 year old boy. It was a beach party theme so I made a larger version of Marlene's last birthday cake. It is a 12 x 12 yellow cake in two layers with cream cheese frosting. the sand is graham cracker crumbs. The beach people are Teddy grahams. I tried to make fondant palm trees, but this spring is just too moist and they just disintegrated. Thank goodness for plastic.

My home is my Castle


It has been a while since I made a castle. This one has a 16 " round chocolate cake base and is made out of a yellow butter cake. I dug a mot, lined it with marzipan , and filled it with blue jello. The kids at the party loved it and when they kept asking their parents for more "water" they actually meant jello.
