Toy Story birthday cake!

 I've always loved Toy Story, and have kept enjoying it thanks to my 3 year old niece.  So when I got the request for a Toy Story birthday cake, I couldn't wait to make it!!...until I found out I only had 3 days until delivery.  I had just started a new job in a bakery (yayy!!) that week, and wasn't getting home until 7 or 8 o'clock at night, so I had limited hours in the day to work on it.  I decided to ask my customer if they wouldn't mind putting Toy Story action figures on the cake instead of me trying to create them.  They agreed, and they looked great on the cake!  I have to say, this is one of my favorite cakes :)

Cookie Monster!

I wanna ROCK!

 I had a very awesome cake request by one of my best friends 9 year old daughter (the same girl who requested a bowling ball cake!)  This year her party was a Rock Star theme, so she had very specific ideas to give to me: musical instruments, zebra print, and bright colors.  Often times, I don't get the chance to stick around for people to admire the cakes, but the reaction of the little girls at her party was priceless!!  Most of the girls didn't even think the cake was real! 

I can't wait to see what Delaney comes up for me next year!

 Flavor: Fresh Strawberry

Chocolate Cherry Stout with Hazelnut Buttercream

(I keep hearing "these might be my new favorite!" from everyone who tries these!)

Mojito Cupcakes 

Fresh Blackberry Lemon Cupcakes with Italian Meringue

 Italian Rainbow Cookies

These are classic Italian almond-based sponge cake layers filled with fresh raspberry jam and covered in chocolate.  They can be dyed any color, but keeping with tradition, we dye them the colors of the Italian flag.  If you're from New York, and have had these treats before, you know how hard they are to find good ones outside of New York...but I think these are right up there in comparison!

Crab Cake and Barbie

I had a challenging weekend on my hands with two pretty cool cake orders!!  Both were a ton of fun to make, and I am happy with the way they turned out!
