Africa Cake

My parents just recently left on a mission to Mozambique, Africa for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Shortly before they left we threw a big family farewell party for them. The cake was a surprise and we did an African sunset with a giraffe and an elephant under a tree. The cake turned out awesome and everybody enjoyed it thoroughly!

The top half was White Cake with Strawberry Italian Buttercream and the bottom half was Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Italian Buttercream. 

Mint Green Rose Cake and Dodge Viper Grooms Cake

The bride wanted to surprise the groom with a cake designed like his work place. He works at Polished Image, a car detailing business in the Salt Lake City area. He loved it!

The car is made of chocolate cereal treats and the building is White Cake with Spiced Cookie Butter and Strawberry Filling.

The top tier fo the mint green rose cake was Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Ganache and Raspberry Preserves and the bottom tier was White Cake with Spiced Cookie Butter and Strawberry Filling. They both turned out great and were enjoyed!

Butterfly Cake

A week or so ago my wife and I asked our daughter what kind of birthday cake she wanted and she responded with "I want a butterfly cake." I then asked what colors of butterflies she wanted and she said she wanted blue butterflies. I was so stoked to do her cake this year! First of all because she is my daughter and I love her so much! Secondly because I have not done a cake in far too long. This is a problem I need to fix. So if you or someone you know lives in New York City and need a custom designed cake please send them my way. Anyway, back to the cake, it was a hit! We invited over a few of my daughters friends and they had a butterfly party and of course loved the cake!

This was my first time using Gum Paste. I cut the butterflies out of gum paste and then hand painted the design on with food coloring.

 

It is a luscious melt in your mouth moist white cake with lime buttercream icing.
