Kid's birthday cake: Dominic (Backyardigans)

This is a kid's first birthday cake. Dominic loves the Backyardigans, so that's the cake he got! This was the first time I experimented with the floating stars, and I think it really makes the whole cake. The clouds were made by warping a flower-shaped cookie cutter (you take what you got!) The cake is white chocolate with strawberry glaze filling and vanilla cream.

Graduation cake: Peyton

  

This is a cake made to order, for the graduation of a star soccer player.

The bottom tier is 2 layers of white chocolate cake with pineapple glaze filling and canilla fondant. The top tier is vanilla cake with tropical fruit filling, white buttercream and berry - flavored fondant.

I copied the little soccer player from a photo on the graduate's facebook (it's research, not stalking!) She is made from gumpaste, and is completely edible. This was my first time using disco dust, (glitter effect on the lettering and the stars) and I'm sorry to say it didn't photograph well. The glitter looked great in the light though.
