We recently celebrated my Oma's 90th birthday. What better way to celebrate this important milestone than with a special cake. This was my first time making fondant calla lilies. I didn't think I needed to buy the calla lily kit and I was right. They're so easy to make. All you need is a heart cookie cutter and your set!

What could be better than a Nintendo DS for a gaming enthusiast? For this 10 year old birthday boy, his mom thought he would love a special cake inspired by his gaming addiction. The Nintendo DS was made out of rice crispie treats and then covered with fondant. Apparently the cake was quite popular at the party!

After spending four days baking the cakes, creaming the butter cream, molding the fondant, assembling the layers of cake, crumb coating the cake, rolling and covering the cake with fondant, and then adding the finishing touches, Katrina’s 2nd birthday cake was completed.

The cake itself was lemon with a raspberry buttercream filling. I used a black Wilton edible marker to draw paw prints on the white fondant. It may seem like a lot of work, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Now I need to find another excuse to make another cake!

I have the perfect excuse to make a cake – my daughter's second birthday! I've decided on the design, bought the supplies, and now it's time to get started.

My daughter loves dogs and I had originally wanted to make her a 3D dog cake, but then realized I would need a day off work to do all the piping. So my designed changed to a two tier round cake with puppies playing. My plan is to make the fondant lettering on Tuesday and colour all the fondant. Wednesday will be devoted to shaping the puppies. The cake will be baked on Thursday, and iced and covered in fondant on Friday. Saturday morning assembly and finishing touches will be done, just in time for the birthday girl’s party in the afternoon!
