The first is a "Snake Cake".. he could easily be made into a Dragon or Alligator, Im thinking. I made a bunch of devils food cupcakes and a double batch of homemade buttercream icing. I was able to create the "snake" using 24 cupcakes and I needed a 1/4 of one as a filler in one of his diamonds.
The second cake is a Pool. This idea is a variation of another pool cake that I saw online. It is a double layer classic yellow cake, also with homemade buttercream icing. The outside of the pool is alternating dark chocolate and hazelnut pirouline. The little accessories are made out of fondant... and... my HUSBAND made those!!
The cool thing about this cake is that the girl that won it at the auction sat at the back table with her two friends and they ate the ENTIRE thing before the auction was over!! They told me that it was delicious, so I was a happy baker!
Im sorry for the quality of the pictures, Im a horrible food picture taker, unlike my brilliant sister, who gets food pics published on AllRecipes all the time ;). I also want to apologise for the MESS in this picture... I canNOT make a cake without making an ENORMOUS mess, and for some reason I just didnt walk the cake into the dining room for a picture... this was the best one of the cake *rolls eyes in disgust*
This last cake, although it appears to be an Easter Bunny cake, is my daughter Savannah's 7th Birthday cake back from December. Her most favorite thing in the world in yellow bunnies :)
I love your cakes!! I love the floaties!
