Isabella's 1st Birthday Elmo Style

Here is a cake I did for a friend who's daughter turned 1. She loves Elmo but I had to think how could I make it girly? I used a round cake board covered in red fondant with the bottom cake in a square shape covered in a light lime green fondant with red and white polka dots. The top I decided to make it round covered in white fondant and add accents of yellow and aqua. As for Elmo, I made as if he was coming out the cake. Overall, I think I made the cake perfect for a little girl's 1st birthday Elmo style. Thanks for looking!!!

Anabel's 1st Birthday Party

I know. I know. I'm really really late in posting this. But here it is finally. Anabel's birthday party was held at C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines, FL. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. We had a Straberry Shortcake bouncehouse, Strawberry Shortcake herself made a personal appearance, a clown that did face painting for the kiddies and balloons, and other goodies. This was a very special birthday because this was a milestone for Anabel. After everything we went through when Anabel was born, we could not believe that one year later we were celebrating her first birthday.

This is probably one of the prettiest cakes I've done to date. The birthday cake was a 10 inch and a 6 inch vanilla butter rum cake with a strawberry cream filling covered in fondant. The Strawberry Shortcake doll was also made by me with the help of 2 great cake decorating and modeling instructors that came from Peru to teach at a local cake decorating supply store that I buy from. This doll took around 5 1/2 hours or so to do and to be honest, she wasn't entirely finished. I didn't put the little white polka dots on the hat because there wasn't anytime for me. It was a busy week but one of the best birthday party.

Here I am very concentrated in trying to secure Strawberry Shortcake's head to her body.

I also made 2 dozen vanilla butter rum cupcakes w ith a dulce de leche filling and buttercream icing swirled with red coloring and Strawberry Shortcake cupcake pics in a cute cupcake stand.

Here is the birthday girl, Anabel.

Strawberry Shortcake made an appearance. With the help of my sister-in-law, Karen, we made this foam picture frames with magnets on the back and took pictures of each kid with Strawberry Shortcake. It was a cute keepsake and a memory that they could take home of a very special day.

Anabel's First Birthday

As you can tell, it has been a while since my last post. It has been very busy. The week of Anabel's birthday I took my figure modeling classes in a local cake decorating supply shop. I learned alot and I can't wait to take more classes when the instructors come back.

I did a 9 inch vanilla butter rum cake wtih dulce de leche cream filling and covered the cake in buttercream. The strawberries and flowers and fondant. The number one is fondant/gumpaste. I just used the strawberry shortcake birthday candle as the cake topper and it blends it right well, can't even tell it's an candle.
