Baby Face Cake & Bunny Face Cupcakes!

Alice is having a cute little baby boy born in the Year of the Rabbit... so she requested a cute little baby boy face cake in chocolate with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam filling, and bunny rabbit faced cupcakes to match for her baby shower! Kawaii cute!

I'm a Year of the Dragon... any other Dragons out there? Does everyone know what their Chinese horoscope is?? Our family will be adding two more Year of the Rabbits to the world... both my sisters are pregnant and due within a month of each other! Zing!!!

Auntie Coco Cake's going to be very busy creating adorable cakes for all of her crazy little nephews and nieces!!

Crazy Purple Barney Cake!

Barney had quite his day in the sun in the 1990s, eh? Purple dino power! And Barney is back for another chance to shine on a crazy looking purple buttercream-piped cake. I don't get to make figurines very often so this was a fun little purple dino to create out of fondant. And purple Barney rosette cupcakes to match!

Barney should totally party it up with Grimace, that other purple blobby creature. They could have a purple themed party with all purplish food. Eggplants, grapes, blueberries... a vegetarian feast!

Thanks Amelia for the cute order! ^__^

Plex The Robot: Yo Gabba Gabba Cake!

Plex the robot cake from Yo Gabba Gabba! This guy was dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream, covered and decorated in fondant. I really can't wait to make more of the Yo Gabba Gabba characters in cake form in the future... 'specially the super hairy green stripey guy! You really learn a lot about modern kid's television and pop culture being in the cake biz. People are always asking you for things you haven't yet heard of. Of course kids these days wouldn't know about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-man and Pound Puppies, would they!??

My fave cutie modern kids books and TV shows include all of the Meomi characters, the Oliver Jeffers books that my cute little 3 year old nephew Brody so loves, and I get a kick out of Ni Hao Kai Lan -- though her voice is slightly annoying (sorry, it's true), the characters are SO CUTE! And they would make really cute cakes!!! Do I love Ni Hao Kai Lan because I myself am Chinese?? Quite possibly... but I think it's so cute to think of a little kid living in middle America somewhere who knows how to say "How are you" in Mandarin because of this show... ^__^

Pretty Pastel Minis for One Of A Few

Adorable Michelle has one of the coolest stores in town: One of a few, a place to find very lovely clothing chosen with a modern/always fashionable eye. To celebrate the opening of the vintage clothing pop-up shop Gypsy Market, Michelle ordered 100 mini vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream in a pale, pretty palette of pale lavender, pale pink and cream.

Lovely!

Garden Cuteness Vegan Cake! Growing Carrot Garden Cake!

The cuties at Drive Organics (an organic grocery store in my neighborhood) ordered this adorable garden-themed cake for their boss Jeff, who is venturing off into opening his own organic grocery store land in North Vancouver! The cake was a vegan dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and vanilla "butter"cream! This was lots of fun to make, fondant carrots popping up through "dirt" (dark chocolate cookie crumbs) and piped all over to be bright green and grassy! Plus, a little snail buddy!

Thanks Drive Organics people! And good luck Jeff in your exciting new venture! ^__^
