Woodland Animals 1st Birthday

I was asked to make these woodland animal cookies and cake for a super cute one year old (seriously, he's just the sweetest, snuggliest little guy you'll ever meet!)  Where better to find cute woodland animals than Sweet Melody Designs!  With permission of course, I used her ADORABLE art as inspiration for my fox, bunny, bear, deer and raccoon treats.   If you have a little one (or are expecting) be sure to check out her page.  She has the most wonderful Nursery decor with custom color options available.

Cake: For the aged wood effect I used wafer paper over fondant.

Thank you Sweet Melody Designs!

Lumberjack Birthday Cake!

I have been waiting patiently for two things: to make a mermaid cake and to make a wood cake.  Well, still no mermaid, but FINALLY I was asked to make a wood cake!  For the lumberjack cake I went with a fondant tree stump.  I simply used bunched up tin foil for texture after placing the pieces and hand painted the details.  The plaid upper tier is hand painted.   Now, I NEED to make more of these!!  All different types of wood; aged, planks, birch, etc.  Bring on the wood cake oders!
