Chloe's 4th Birthday! Princess Parade!

I can't take all the credit for this one. I had help from my sweet sister in law. This was only the 2nd time I had tried working with homemade fondant and she had not used it much either, so this was a learning experience for both of us!

Chloe's 3rd birthday: Simple Polka dot cupcakes

Chloe was very much in to polka dots this year, so when I asked her what she wanted on her cake she said "polka dots!" At first i thought that was a little boring but it ended up being really cute, and nice and simple! I went with cupcakes to add to the simplicity.

The cupcakes are a mix of regular chocolate cake and whip cream and an almond meal choc cake that Chloe cake eat with a coconut fat sweetened and whipped.

Nemo! Chloe's 2nd birthday cake

Happy 2nd birthday to our sweet little Chloe! Chloe was very much in to Nemo when this birthday came around, so it wasn't to hard to decide to make her a Nemo cake.
Funny story with this one: I started it the day before her birthday and went to bed planning finish it the morning of her party. For some odd reason at about 2:30am I woke up and could not go back to sleep! I had pictures of nemo cakes dancing in my head. I finally got up about 3:00 and went down to the kitchen. At about 5:00am the cake was done and I was able to go back to bed and fall asleep. :D

The cake is a delicious homemade vanilla and frosted in a homemade butter cream icing. Nemo, his dad and the boat anchor are made from royal frosting that I piped and then allowed to harden. The # "2" and the boat are made out of gum paste. The sand is brown sugar.
