Happy 5th and 4th Birthday Justin & Hayley!

Happy 5th and 4th Birthday Justin & Hayley!!  I had the honor in making strawberry cake pops with fresh strawberry puree inside for two cuties!  The theme is Ariel from the Little Mermaid by Disney.  I used cardstock to print the image of Ariel on them, and then made the fins out of fondant and lightly painted some pink luster pearl dust on the fins the give it that mermaid shine.  I sprinkled some seashell theme sprinkles on the cake pop and decorated the trays with crushed graham crackers to look like the ocean floor and added some fondant sea shells as well to complete the look.  I had some leftover cake batter and so I made some cupcakes!  These two had a drive by birthday celebration and even though our visit to celebrate with the birthday stars were short, we were still able to the joy on their faces and got the opportunity to wish them a happy birthday from a socially safe distance!  I wish you two the best and happiest of birthdays so far, and it's such a joy to see you grow up and see your personalities develop!  Happy Birthday Justin and Hayley, hope you guys had a splashing good time!

Happy Golden 8th Birthday Lily & 5th Leo!

Happy golden 8th birthday to Lily and happy milestone 5th birthday to Leo!! With everything going on in the world right now, I had to make sure I made extra special cakes for these two extra special kiddies!!  Lily has her golden birthday this year and I made her a display cake with all her favorite things at the moment.  Her favorite color is blue, she loves Animal Crossing New Horizon on the Nintendo Switch with Lily and Bianca being her favorite characters, and the game Arms with Dr. Coyle and Lola Pop.  Her favorite movie is Sonic the Hedgehog live action and she loves Sonic and Amy and the gold rings go perfect with her golden birthday theme!  Everything is made out of paper for simplicity for such a complex theme and the Sonic and Amy characters are toys.  The blue flowers are fake flowers and the cake is Styrofoam covered in fondant.

For Leo's cake, it's his  special milestone 5th birthday!!  I made a display cake with all his current favorite things and that's Chuck E Cheese, Stacking cups, Maui from Moana, Peppa Pig and Bao from the Pixar short Bao!  I made all the decorations out of paper and used fake leaves to tie everything together and covered the cake in fondant.  I made the stacking cups with mini plastic cups and made a label and glued it onto the cups.  Right when Leo saw the cake, he immediately shouted "Chuck E Cheese!!!" and kept pointing at and yelling out everything he saw!  It made me so happy to see how excited and fixated he was with his cake!  I kept the cake out for two weeks and everyday it was the highlight of his day, just staring at the cake and pointing everything out on it! 

Happy special birthday to both Lily and Leo, my light and joy and loves of my life!!  I wish you both an amazing birthday and celebration, safe at home, and virtually with all your loved ones!!  You make me the luckiest and happiest mama ever!  I love you both so much, more than you'll ever know!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!  You made a whole lap around the sun!!  I decorated a white vanilla velvet cake from Co-Op with handmade fondant jungle animals; a lion, elephant, tiger, giraffe, and an upside down monkey! I added some fake palm leaves onto the naked cake and attached a “Wild One” cake topper that I made from my cricut maker!  I originally baked a three tiered French Vanilla cake with Bavarian Cream with strawberries and blackberries for the filling with basic buttercream icing, but due to the unfamiliar elevation and humidity of Canada that I’m not use to, the cake cake out super fluffy and light, and when I added the third layer to the stack, it started to turn into the leaning tower of cake! 😭. So the last minute cake made due but I still had a chance to decorate it and we had some funny memories to remember and a great learning lesson!
Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!  You are such a sweet happy baby and now toddler!!  You are so calm and amazing so so so so loved!  Your parents are doing such an amazing job raising such a well mannered happy spirited boy!!  I wish you many many more laps around the sun and I can’t wait to watch you grow up into an capable, strong, brilliant man!  I love you my favorite nephew Jace!!  Happy 1st birthday!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Aulani!

Happy 2nd Birthday Aulani!! Unicorn kid friendly mini cupcakes for Aulani’s 2nd birthday!! These a party rainbow vanilla mini cupcakes with basic buttercream on top. The unicorn horns are made of prez sticks painted gold and the ears are apple crisps painted purple! I wanted to use pretzels and the apple crisps to make it more kid friendly and healthier than fondant.  The only thing is when the apple crisps got painted purple, it lost its crispness.  So in the future I’ll explore something different.  These cuties are topped with rainbow sprinkles!! Happy birthday sweet Aulani!!! I wish you many many more wonderful years of happiness and celebrations!!  You are so loved and amazing and we are all of lucky to have you in our life!! 🥳🦄🍰🌈

Happy Birthday Haley & Justin!

Happy birthday Haley and Justin!! I had the pleasure of making Haley (turned 3) and Justin’s (turned 4) cute Peppa Pig theme birthday cake!  Haley loves Peppa Pig and Justin loves train and so I combined their interests into this cute Peppa Pig theme cake!  This 10 inch round cake is a French Vanilla cake with fresh Strawberries and Bavarian cream filling.  The decorations are made of fondant and the string for the balloons are floral wires!  Thank you Susan and Ryan for letting me be a part of your cute little kids’ birthday celebration.  I wish you Haley and Justin many many more fun and special birthdays, can’t wait to see what amazing things you guys do in the future!  I hope you had a fun and loved filled birthday, happy birthday Haley and Justin!!!

Happy Baby Shower Benjalina!

Happy Baby Shower to Alina and Ben on baby number 2!!  I had the honor of making their under the sea theme display cake that is gender neutral since their baby's gender is a surprise!  The cakes are covered in fondant and decorated with fondant pearls and bubbles that my sweet assistant, Lily, made and painted with pearl dust.  I made a fondant baby in the shell in a green swaddle and a lil mermaid with cute pigtails that represents the big sister to be, Aulani!  I made the pennant banner out of cardstock and skewers and got some pretty seashells that I painted some purple on to go with the color scheme Alina wanted.  Lily crushed up some graham crackers for the sand and that completes the display cake!  Thank you so much for letting us be part of your wonderful celebration.  I can't wait to meet, snuggle and spoil baby Santiago number 2!!  Congratulations Ben and Alina, you guys are so loved and blessed!

Happy 40th Birthday Mieng!

Happy 40th Birthday Mieng! I made a concrete textured chocolate cake with fresh strawberry filling frosted with Swiss Meringue frosting. I accented it with some edible gold leaf for some touch of elegance! I then make some chocolate mini poop cupcakes with chocolate whipped cream frosting and candy eyes. The roll of toilet paper is also chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream cheese frosting wrapped in fondant! The design of those cupcakes aren't my original idea (hooray for pinterest) but I'm glad I stumbled upon them because they are really cute and fun (not to mention simple) to make!! I hope you had a wonderful milestone birthday celebration Mieng and that the next 40+ years will continue to be better and better!! You deserve all the happiness love and wonderful things in life, you bless us all with your funny personality and sweet heart! I hope all your birthday wishes come true!! Happy 40th birthday Mieng!!
