My Frozen Elsa Anna Olaf Cake and Cupcake Designs!


My Frozen custom cakes and cupcakes!

frozen childhood anna elsa birthday cake

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.

How to make a human figurine - Hiro figurine Big Hero 6 Tutorial

diy how to make big hero 6 figurine tutorial


I'm super excited to share this tutorial with you! I've been getting a lot of requests on how to make human figurines for cake toppers.  I've actually been trying to improve my sculpting/figurines the past couple of years myself, it's never easy, I understand why people would want to see someone make one in person.  So I've recorded myself making Hiro from the movie Big Hero 6. I hope you'll find it helpful. The video is sped up to make it shorter, but the portion where I'm making the face I kept it slower so you can see.   
I hope this helps!

Olaf Figurine Tutorial, how to make Olaf!

1. Materials you'll need: 
- white fondant
- small clump of black fondant
- small clump of orange fondant
- small clump of brown fondant
- ball tip tool or you can use back of a paint brush
- exacto knife
- 3 toothpicks
- small roller
- thin paint brush
- edible blue color
- tylose or gumpaste powder (not shown in pic, oops!)
 you'll need to knead this into the fondant before starting

2. Make white fondant into Olaf's head shape. I used the small roller and pressed that on for the top of his head, and also below his nose, to make his middle nose part more prominent. I used the tip of the roller to push in the 2 indents on both sides of his well as well. Flat part of the roller can flat/smooth the sides of his mouth.

3. Exacto knife to create the smile.

4. Use the exacto knife and cut out the smile.  It's okay if the cut isn't perfectly smooth/flat.

5. Use a ball tip tool or the back of a paint brush, and flatten the fondant inside the mouth opening.

6. Roll out a thin piece of black fondant and cut it into the shape of his mouth.

7. Add water for it to stick on, then use the ball tip tool or back of paintbrush and smooth out the black fondant. 

8. Roll out a small piece of white fondant, place a plastic wrap over and use a small circle cutter to cut the eyes. The plastic wrap will smooth out the circle into a dome shape rather than a flat coin shape.

9. Glue the eyes down with water.

10. Dilute the blue color gel with a few drops of water, or vodka or lemon extract. Paint around the eyes a small border of blue.

11. With black fondant, place eye balls and eye lid onto his eyes.  For the eyelids, I pinch a but of black fondant and roll it really thin with my fingers.

12. Roll really thin brown fondant with your fingers, for eyebrows.

13. Roll really thin brown fondant into a rectangular shape. add some water inside and place a toothpick in the center. Fold the fondant over and make a straight cut beside the tooth pick.  Roll a bit of brown fondant into a thin V shape and glue it on as fingers.

14. Use white fondant to create the body parts.

15. Use black fondant and make the 3 buttons. Let the pieces dry for at least an hour to let them harden before assembling. Assemble the body parts together with a tooth pick in the core and leave a bit of tooth pick sticking out at the top of the body to add the head on.

Happy Caking everyone! <3

Classic Winnie The Pooh Cake!

classic winnie the pooh cake

Making a Classic Winnie The Pooh cake! It's entirely edible and handmade by me :)
The mom left the design entirely up to me, she's throwing a Classic Winnie The Pooh themed birthday
party for her little girl who's turning 2. I tried googling around for ideas and inspirations, I didn't find much 
Classic Winnie The Pooh cakes out there.  I really liked the images I saw on google, that pages from 
the story books and decided to create a story-book-page-like cake! 


 classic winnie the pooh fondant cake



I started off with a 3 tier cake covered in white fondant. The cake board is covered as well.

I painted the colors on just like the story book style, with lemon extract and color gels.

Making fondant Piglet, he's holding a bouquet of roses for the birthday girl.


Here's Winnie The Pooh. My printer ran out of ink so I had to reply on 
my ipad for reference.  I found a Winnie The Pooh posing similar to what I had envisioned.

how to make frozen elsa cupcake toppers

A quick Frozen Elsa tutorial I made on my phone. 
I printed an image of Elsa and Anna from my computer, and cut out all the details.
I placed parts of them onto rolled fondant and cut around it with an exacto knife.
This method ensured me that it'll be the same size and shape as the image.

More Despicable Me Cakes!

how to make despicable me cake

Hello :)

If anyone had noticed, I am no longer TheCakingGirl.com :(... I lost the domain and been trying to gain it back, I made an offer, hopefully they (whoever the new owner is) will be understanding and give the name back to me.  I'm still TheCakingGirl.  But it's no longer dot com. it's dot ca.

Why did I call myself TheCakingGirl anyways.. well, about 4 years ago, when I first started making cakes, I was pretty bad at it but I wanted to get better, and I really enjoyed it, so I made as many cakes as I can for free for people, so I can practice.  My friends were calling/texting me asking why I can't go out, what am I so busy doing.  I got tired of typing that I'm busy making a cake, learning how to decorate etc, I simply replied, "I'm caking,". I made cake into a verb lol. Cause that's what I was doing, I was Caking.

So I called myself  The Caking Girl.
I see that term being used in other cake forums now :) yes, it's a verb, it's a hobby, it's a career, it's a life.
I'm also aware that Caking has another urban dictionary meaning. Haha. ;)

Anyways, now that I sorta sorted out the domain name situation, I want to blog more. I hope you enjoy my blogs, altho I don't write as much, and it's mainly visuals. I plan to write more.

Take care, talk soon!
