Toy Box Birthday Cake

My youngest nephew just turned one, and this is
the cake I chose to make for him.



I've been seeing these Toy Box cakes all over and thought
it would make a really fun 1st birthday cake.

Cake is approximately 8"x11" and is frosted in buttercream
and then covered in fondant. Some toys are made from fondant
& gumpaste and others are styrofoam covered with gumpaste to
help cut down on the weight.

Birdy Bunting Cake

Birthday cake I made for a friend from work for
her daughter's second birthday.



It's an 8" cake frosted in buttercream with fondant
and gumpaste details. I used several different impression
mats on the detail pieces to create lots and lots of texture.
Almost like they were made from fabric.



I've had this design saved for a while now. It's based on
two different cakes. One by Mavin kurve (Kassie) on Flickr and
one by patisseriejaja on Cake Central. I just knew this design would be
perfect for this cake!

Happy Birthday Olivia!
