Delightfulness

As I already mentioned I just looove doing things by myself, especially when it comes to baking. I won't ever buy a cake, cupcakes or other delightful sweets for a birthday. To me it simply seems to easy to go to a store and pick a cake. A homemade cake means more than words =)

Wyatt's 1st birthday cake - The birthday party theme was Baby Mickey Mouse. The cake itself was a vanilla sponge cake with cream cheese frosting filling with strawberries and bananas. I covered the cake in white fondant and used cookie cutters to cut out stars and letters of tinted fondant. I colored the fondant with gel food colors especially for fondant. Since the regular food colors can make the fondant crack

 The Mickey Mouse and Pluto characters I made out of fondant. I used them as cake toppers. It took me almost 3 days to finish them

  His birthday cupcakes

The cupcakes where made out of chocolate cake and on top cream cheese frosting with sprinkles. I tinted the frosting with food colors as well so they matched the birthday party theme. I got some chocolate rolls and cut them in half, put some sprinkles inside the roll and placed them in frosting so they would look like straws

This was a trial cupcake (Ingredients where the same as above. Only that I used Oreos and Mini Oreos to make a Mickey Mouse head instead of chocolate rolls. I wanted to make those cupcakes for Wyatt's birthday but cutting the Mini Oreo's was just too much work since most of them broke. Maybe this year =)

My very first fondant creations =)
