Incredible Hulk – Birthday Cake – King City, CA

This little mini cake was for my amazing hair stylist again.  Seriously, he’s one of my best clients.  And I adore him.  If you ever need a fabulous cut or color, he’s the man.  Really, call him HERE and ask for Albert!  I love that he orders mini cakes, they are on my list of favorite things to make.  They are so cute and….well, MINI!

His little nephew adores the Incredible Hulk and skateboards, so he wanted the Hulk riding a skateboard.  Albert (which, by the way, we are now known as the Fabulously Sweet Duo (he’s the fabulous, I’m the sweet….get it?) texted me a picture of his nephew beaming with his cake!

The cake was chocolate with whipped cream filling.  The outside is covered with buttercream and airbrushed green.  The road is made from fondant and the collapsing wall, skateboard and figurine are all made from gumpaste.  The cake board is covered with Incredible Hulk comic strips and posters that were printed out and placed on the board and then covered with suran wrap.

Happy Birthday to the Lil’ Hulk!

Motorcycle Road Trip – Groom’s Cake – Salinas, CA

Bekki used to work with my BFF at the Monterey Coast Brewing Company (you should go there, and eat their food.  It’s quite scrumptious).  She wanted to surprise her husband with a Groom’s cake at their wedding, and since they are hardcore motorcycle lovers, and tentatively headed to Sturgis for their honeymoon, the cake them was motorcycle road trip. 

My assistant (aka my sister, my little worker bee for the week) looked up the information for the road trip info (mileage is approx), made the little ducks out of gum paste and cut out all of the road signs.  She also made the trees that went around the cake.  The motorcycle is made out of gumpaste and set ontop of a fondant road.  The shoulder of the road is represented by brown sugar and then the green grass was piped all along the sides of the cake and cake board.

The cake flavor was marble with carmel buttercream filling. 

Bekki also ordered a dozen cookies for her son…but those are so cute I want to dedicate a entirely separate post for them.   I know you are dying of anticipation. 

Congratulations!!!

Skydiving Surprise – Birthday Cake – King City, CA

Samantha bought her husband skydiving lessons for his birthday present this year.  She wanted him to have a birthday cake that represented his present to see if he could guess what it was.  I was definately up for the challenge and after sketching up a few cakes and looking online for ideas, this is what I came up with!

She.

Loved.

It.

Samantha was able to text me during dinner and told me her husband loved it and everyone at dinner loved all the detail. 

The cake was a vanilla pound cake with a raspberry purree filling.  It was covered in buttercream with fondant embellishments.  The skydiver is made out of gumpaste.

Happy Birthday Casey!  Have a great time skydiving!!!

Monkey is One – Birthday Cupcakes – Marina, CA

This little mini cake and cupcakes has a special place in my heart.  Kim was my very very very very first client.  I had posted an ad on craigslist, I had zero pictures of my work, and was hungry for a job.  She contacted me to make her a wedding cake since her and her husband were eloping.  I was thrilled beyond belief when she stumbled across my site again and asked me to make cupcakes and a mini cake for her son’s first birthday party.

My favorite part of the cake was the monkey topper.  He’s just so squeezeable.  I want to keep him as a pet!

Happy First Birthday Ethan!!!
