Evan's Colorful Birthday Cake

Michelle ordered this cake for her son for a family celebration they were having.  She told me that she wanted something with a lot of color and she liked the look of the cakes that were covered with frosting using the star tip, like my Buzz Lightyear cake here.  

This was a pure joy to do!  And I photographed each step of the way so you can see the progress as I did!

I started with orange and then progressed from there:

Evan's cake is a chocolate cake with vanilla bean buttercream frosting.  His name on the cake is made out of fondant.

I really like how this turned out!  A truly fun, colorful cake for a fun, colorful little boy!  Happy Birthday, Evan!

A Simple Cake for James

So Angie emailed me requesting a cake for her husband's birthday this last weekend.  She said that he hasn't stopped talking about Kalli's birthday cake that I made for her a few months ago.  Can I just say that I LOVE getting messages like that?  And James is SO on the right page here, because my chocolate-flecked cake IS really good!  ;)  

Angie needed a small cake to celebrate, so I decorated it simply with some vanilla buttercream and called it a day!  James' birthday, that is!

I hope he enjoyed this one and it was just as delicious as he remembers it!  Happy Birthday!!
