Tie-dye, Hearts, Peace & Glitter!

What a fun cake to make - yes, I know I say that about ALL of the cakes I make. One thing I LOVE about being the Fairy Cake Mother is that it's rare that I made the same cake twice!

This is a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream covered in homemade vanilla buttercream fondant & edible glitter!

Minnie Mouse Birthday for my daughter!

I made two cakes for my daughter who turned two this weekend! She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Minnie Mouse.

 This is a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream covered in vanilla buttercream fondant.

Bottom tier is 1 layer vanilla and 1 layer chocolate filled with vanilla buttercream. Top tier is vanilla cake filled with blueberry buttercream. 

Both cakes are covered with homemade vanilla buttercream fondant & are a example that sometimes simple is better!

Mother's Day Lilacs - Take 2!

Last year I made a Mother's Day cake decorate with lilacs and this year I got an order for a similar cake. This cake was covered with vanilla buttercream fondant & is a lemon cake with blueberry buttercream.

Airport Firetruck Retirement Cake

This cake was for a civilian member of the VT Air National Guard Firefighter at Burlington International Airport. He has retired after 42 years of service! This is a cake to feed 80 people - a 2 layer sheet cake. It is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing.

The Chocolate cake batter - as usual - I sprinkled mini chocolate chips on the top!

Birthday Party Project - April 2012

I was contacted in March by a local mother/daughter team who have been hosting birthday parties for local children who have never had a cake or party before. These ladies started this project for the daughter's Bar Mitzvah in June. They asked me if I would be willing to provide cupcakes and a small cake for the party in April.

I am pleased to announce that I am taking over the Birthday Party Project as a non-profit division of The Fairy Cake Mother. Stay tuned for more details!

Easter Baskets & Easter Lambs

This year's Easter cakes!

 I actually made two of these. This one was for a little girl who had her birthday this week. Both cakes were vanilla with vanilla buttercream.

The making of a 3D dinosaur cake

I thought it would be neat to share some behind the scene pictures of what goes into making a 3D cake like the dinosaur cake I made yesterday.

The Dino cake started out as a 3D Teddy Bear
