Sesame Street Wagon Cake

Ethan was not even born yet when I made his first cake.  It was the baby onesies shirt cake, then followed by a Christening dress cake when he was 6 months old.  Now, my little customer is 1 year old... this was his cake.

This was one tough cookie to build and decorate.  Overall, I love this design.  I build the wagon stand from scratch, cutting PVC pipes to pieces and assembled them together.  After assembled, I covered them with black modeling chocolate.  The wheels were made of rice krispie treats.

The cake was a vanilla sponge cake with mocha filling.  The cake was adorned with Satin Ice fondant tinted with AmeriColor Red-Red food coloring.  Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster were made of rice krispie treats and covered with modeling chocolate.

According to Tita Eden, the cake was a big hit!  The attraction of the party!  One happy customer, the third time was a charm!

Abby Cadabby Fun Cake (My First Halal Cake)

Making this cake at 31 weeks pregnant wasn’t easy. I was standing for an extended period of time with a huge canon ball around my belly that always gets in the way. Since cake decorating is my hobby and my passion, I can’t complain. I was having a great time decorating this cake for a beautiful 2-year little girl named Hifza. I am so proud of my work how it turned out. Abby Cadabby is just so adorable character!

The bottom tier cake was a vanilla sponge cake filled with Italian meringue vanilla-flavored buttercream with layers of crushed pineapples. The top tier was a chocolate cake with Italian meringue hazelnut-flavored buttercream.

To make a cake with Halal ingredients was a challenge. Some special ingredients requires researching if it is vegetable or animal derived ingredients. The ingredients I used for this cake have to be purchased in certain locations. And I am so pleased and happy that I was able to produce my very first Halal birthday fun cake! I really love how the cake turned out to be. There’s so much going on that it doesn’t look busy, yet it really look a child’s cake.

Hifza’s mom’s (Sofia) Remarks:

Thank you so much! It was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! You are extremely. talented!!!!

Elmo Cake

This cake was made for my sister's friend's daughter. Abigail was turning 2 years old. She loves Elmo.

The cake was chocolate cake with French Vanilla buttercream. Elmo was made from Rice Crispie Treats supported by a dowel. The plush dolls and miniature toys were mine. I will save these toys when I have my own kid. Sesame Street never goes out in style anyway. I knew them when I was a kid.
