Bird-day Cakes – Small and Large
A few months ago some good friends called and asked me to do a birthday cake for them. My instructions were that the theme was birds and the colors were white, pink and brown.
This is what I came up with for the main cake, although I can’t take credit for the adornment on top, I only did the cake. I also created a small cake to accompany it, in the same color scheme, but with the birthday girl’s initials on it.
They said they were happy with it. That makes me happy.
Banana Monkey Cake
Lately, my daughter and I have been watching a lot of Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. It is all about a bakery in Baltimore, MD that makes really cool cakes.
My daughter asked me if I could copy one of their cakes for her birthday and this is the result. Not as good as the original version, but I was pleased nonetheless, considering I had to make my own fondant, don’t own an airbrush and have to work all my cake making in around my paying job and other activities.
We’ll have to see what my son requests now for his birthday later this summer.
