Ribbon gymnastics cake

For her birthday, she wanted a gymnastics themed party and of course the cake too.  Over morning coffee, we had fun brain-storming on what kind of gymnastics exercise we should have on the cake. Alexa's mom suggested that perhaps the rythmic gymnastics with the ribbons would be ideal and nice. I used a lot of blue on this cake, for that is the birthday girl's favourite colour.

Baptism: blue & white

I love the simplicity of pastel colours against white, and those are very appropriate colours for the special little boy's baptismal cake.

The night I was making the flowers for this cake, I had the sweetest pleasure of having my 2.5-year old preschooler play with spare blue fondant by my side. He had a very late afternoon nap, so he was quite alert that evening and kept me company all night while I aimed to finish all the decorations. With his miniature rolling pin, he said that he too was making flowers and cars - the latter wasn't suprising to hear.

Pocoyo Cake

Ely! Sleepy bird! Pocoyo! Pato! Loula! Master J loves all these characters, and in fact he’s as funny, cheeky, curious and gentle as Pocoyo! Short of time and just hours before the next-day party, I used a store-bought Sara-Lee pound cake. I quickly covered the cake in icing and assembled my handmade Pocoyo characters on top. I had the most fun making tiny sleepy bird. Happy 1st Birthday, my dearest!

Mars Mission

Here's my boy on a lunar module on the moon, for he loved anything to do with outer-space: meteors, planets, asteriods and rocketships!
