From Sketch to Cake

September was a busy month for cake.  Well, not terribly busy, but one week alone was rough. I made two cakes for the same day, one of which was my daughter's 4th birthday party and Hello Kitty cake.

Here's the sketch I made for the cake design...

And the end result...

12" Cinnamon chocolate fudge cake with rasperry-almond buttercream filling.  Hello Kitty's body was carved white cake and her head was styrofoam.  Covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.

And the sketch for Gaby's 2nd birthday cake.  The color and the birds were from the invitation that Gaby's mom, Karen, designed.

The cake...

Gaby's cake was a 10" white cake with blueberry filling and an 8" marble cake with vanilla buttercream.  Covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.  The birds matched the invitation.

Thanks for looking!
