Split Theme Cake Design! Monster High and Skylander Cake

double theme cake design monster high skylander

Skylander Cake + Monster High Cake

Here's a cake with a split theme design! I been seeing these cakes with double designs and been wanting to do one. This mom was planning a combined birthday party for her two children, and had originally wanted cupcakes with half of them Monster High and half with Skylander.  Last minute, she said she really wanted a cake made by me and asked if it's possible to put the 2 theme together. I said of course it's doable! :)

The top of the cake is Crusher from Skylander and Draculaura from Monster High. These two characters are the sibling's favorite from the shows. I made the bottom of the cake half of each theme.

Both Crusher and Draculaura are made out of gumpaste.

 Once I get everything settled, I'm gonna start making tutorials again.

how to make a minion figurine cake topper


MINIONS! I love them! They were the best part of the Despicable Me movies, so glad they finally have their own movie! I've always loved receiving Minion cake orders, hope I get to make some more this year now that their movie is coming out.


This is probably my most popular Despicable Me Minion cake.
This pink design with the middle minion picking off the daisy petals.
"She loves me, she loves me now".

I've made a minion tutorial to show you how I make my minion figurines for cake toppers.  If you scale the minion  figurine a bit smaller, you can also follow the tutorial to make minion figurines for cupcakes as well.
In this tutorial, I made 3 different minions to show you different styles to make... short, tall, with standing legs or sitting legs, and no legs, different eye exprssions and hair styles too.

My Frozen custom cakes and cupcakes!

Okay, I've made so many Disney Frozen cakes, it's enough to start it's own album on my Facebook Page lol. I try to make them each a different design while still catering to what the person wants.
 


I've only had one request to make childhood Anna and Elsa, I loved how
the figurines turned out, I used gumpaste to make both Frozen cake toppers.

Probably my most detailed cupcakes to date. I spent about 3-4 hours on each 
Anna and Elsa cupcake toppers. Olaf was 25 mins, the snowflakes were less time.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake by TheCakingGirl

the very hungry caterpillar cake tutorial diy fondant

Hey everyone! I made this The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake a long time ago, but didn't upload it onto my blog but would like to share it with all of you.  Just found it in an old file on my computer.  It's one of my favorite book as a kid, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I've had this cake request several times, and each time I like to replicate the book illustrator's painting style.

painting on gumpaste fondant
  I started off making fruits with white gumpaste. I let them dry for an hour and painting onto them with Wilton food color gels diluted with lemon extract.

I also included the butterfly, ending of the story, onto the cake.

Each tier of the cake is a significant part of the story.
