Sully is still the man...

Thrilled my nieces still want me to make them a fun themed birthday cake and also just as elated that the fun Disney themed cakes haven't faded with age yet... Made the cake pops out of mashed up cookies and cream cheese covered in white chocolate.  Used the grass tip for Sully fur.

My Beautiful, kind, introspective, thoughful and smart niece...So proud of you!

Eric's Birthday

To say my nephew is a fan of nerf guns is an understatement.  This kid LOVES to play all of the time so it was fitting that he chose a Nerf gun themed cake. I made the bullets out of  pirouette cookies wrapped in blue fondant.  After about 3 hours of making bullets I regretted my decision to make the bullets instead of adding to my nephews collection and just buying the bullets... but it was worth it in the end :)

 What a cutie...

Check out the quick timelapse video of how I made the cake...

Hungry Austin

The Very Hungary Austin... I mean caterpillar... Made this for a super cute one year old...  He did pretty good with the devouring portion of the party... :) 

Note:  Beer wasn't included in the baby's celebration...

Stranger Things

Stranger Things- This cutie turned 12 and celebrated with Eggo's, demogorgons, a mind flayer and Stranger Things...

Big Brother

Big Brother is watching... as Avah turns 14...  She wanted a buttercream hamburger with a big brother key and symbol... As they are getting older, the cake orders are a bit more specific... I think the days of simple designs are over, but that's o.k.  Aunt Amy enjoys the yearly challenge!

Eagles SuperBowl52 Birthday Celebration!

We watched the Superbowl with our family and also celebrated Lilly's 14th Birthday...  The Eagle turned out great! Made a frozen buttercream transfer recipe that was 2 parts butter to 1 part shortening. It was much softer and allowed me to make crisper edges. So proud of the Eagle's and their Superbowl Win!

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street...

It takes a special little cookie monsters for Aunt Amy to make a cake these days.... and these two little ones just fit the bill...  It was fun making the cake, cupcakes and cake pop's for their Sesame Street party.  Mr. Hopper's store, Garbage can bowling and a special appearance by cookie monster made for a fun filled afternoon!  Great job Mom,Dad, Aunt Sara and the whole Peitz crew for pulling together another fun birthday party!

The cake as it came together.... 

 

Thanks for a fun party! 

Bowling Party!

The Polar Express Movie and all things train's has the imagination of my nephew who turned 6 this month.  I was pitching him ideas for an American Ninja Warrior cake but he loves his train's and opted for a Polar Express Themed Cake. I did my best for the mountain and made it out of Rice Krispies. His Bowling party was supper fun. I got to bowl with the bumpers up and finally broke a 100! Looking at the pictures we took, my nephew's feet were rarely on the ground... He was jumping and running for almost the entire time. Lots of Fun!

Yeah! Happy Birthday!

Pooka Monkey's Birthday

It's been a little while since I've made a cake, and I didn't have to bake a thing for this one... My Niece specifically requests brownies (which Shoprite makes for me... ), this gives me more time for my favorite part, decorating!  After a few consultations we settled on the idea of a monkey sitting on top of a mountain of banana's.  We saw a few fun ideas on Pinterest.  I had strict instructions to make sure the money was cute... O.K....  To avoid a cake fail I used Styrofoam ball, covered them in fondant and followed this tutorial on a new cake site I just discovered... It was really helpful.   Enjoy the pics of the assembly and party...

The cake reveal... She liked it :)

Mom's Surprise 70th

 

We celebrated all things "Mom" at her surprise 70th Birthday Bash.  She has been an Elvis Fan since his first 45 was released,  so it was only appropriate that I figured out a way to incorporate him into a cake design. This cake is a combination of a few different cakes I found on pinterest.   I spent a good amount of time rolling fondant thin, projecting an image I found on the internet onto the fondant and cutting, cutting, cutting.  The profile was the hardest to get right on the cake.  The cake itself was styrofoam dummies.  It was WAY to hot to make actual cake and travel for the delivery. I would have had a cake wreck and frazzled nerves...  I'm learning...

 

Fishermans 5th birthday

Our master fisherman turned 5 this month!  He landed a huge fish and some fun trucks and toys to keep the people who make batteries in business ;) 

Behind the scenes... 

Titanic birthday

My niece loves the movie titanic and asked for a titanic cake. Not the most uplifting cake for an 11th birthday but it forced some creativity... The ship and ice bergs are made out of Rice Krispies and covered in fondant. The rest is buttercream.  

Maleficent Birthday

Lilly Turns 11 Years Old Today...  She had a Maleficent Inspired Party, which was lots of fun.  Happy Birthday Lilly!!! 

 We got to See Maleficent when we were in Disney in December... She is one scary lady...
