Butler Garbage Truck Cake

This was a request made by my dad's best friend Todd Butler.  He wanted this cake to celebrate Father's Day.  My dad is on the right.  He recently passed away and it's very hard giving this decription.  My dad owned a garbage business for proabably 25 years or more.  His friend Todd owns a garbage business and will until the day he dies.  Hence the garbage truck cake for grown men.  I miss my dad a lot.
This is a vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream.

Thomas the Train Cake

This cake was made for a co-workers son's birthday.  This is completely gluten free and taste wonderful.  I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cake Mixes Chocolate & Vanilla.  To the vanilla cake mix I added almond flavoring.  I made Dark Chocolate Buttercream for the Almond cake and Almond Buttercream for the chocolate cake and decorated with fondant.  They loved the cake.  The design is from Confetti Cakes.

Easter Cake

Here is an Easter Cake.  The design is from www.ifood.tv/blog/fondant-easter-cakes A wonderfully sweet lady asked me to make her an Easter Cake for her and her family.  This is the design she choose.  It is so cute; she picked it out with her granddaughter in mind I belive.  She said that everyone loved.  My only problem with the cake is that my letter are way to big.  So I'll have to invest in some new ones.  The flavors are carrot cake for the bottom tier with amaretto buttercream filling and the top is chocolate with amaretto buttercrem.

Kitty Themed Cake

I love these challenging cakes but I'd really love to know how to model animals easier.  This was my second attempt on the cat.  The first try was pathetic.  I made this cake back in March and barely remember the flavors.  I belive they were chocolate cake on the bottom tier with raspberry filling and chocolate buttercream and almond cake for the top with almond buttercream filling.  All covered with fondant.  The cat is made out of rice krispy treats and fondant.

I started out with design from the Pink Cake Box http://blog.pinkcakebox.com/pair-of-cats-birthday-cake-2010-04-17.htm and this is what I could do.  Their kitties are obviously much better.

Here is another shot of the cake.  I started baking the cake on Friday night.  Didn't have enough butter so I only had enough ingredients for the chocolate cake.  Got up early to go buy butter and made the vanilla cake and then started filling and decorating Saturday morning.  Party was at 4pm and finished around 2pm.  If I had a little more time I would have prettied up with borders.

I used the design I saw on the Frosted Garden blogspot http://frostedgarden.blogspot.com/.  She has fantastic designs
