Disney Cake and Sandbox Cake

We had several fun cakes this weekend and one of our more challenging one was the Disney cake that we created for a little girl turning 2.

Each character was hand drawn and painted onto gumpaste and I thought they came out amazing! The cake was girly, fun, and simple since we wanted each of the characters to be the main focus on the cake.

The bottom tier was Chocolate cake filled with White/Dark Chocolate Ganache and oreos. The middle tier was Buttermilk cake with Raspberry Meringue Filling and the top tier was Chocolate cake filled with Kahlua Espresso Cream Cheese frosting.

Sorry for the poor pictures, we were down to the wire to get this cake delivered...so it was pretty rushed.











The other cake was a blast to create and it came out great! This client wanted something fun and playful for her friend who was celebrating her birthday, so she asked for a sandbox cake.

The pail and shovel are made of gumpaste and I decorated the pail with some fun jewels to brighten it up. The sandcastle was created out of rice krispy and sprinkled with our edible sand (brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and raw sugar). The wood slats for the sandbox were created out of fondant and then hand painted to give a wood effect.

The cake was homemade Funfetti, Vanilla cake with sprinkles and filled with Chocolate Mousse Buttercream.
