Child Birthday Cakes

This is a BIG cake and will feed 60 people. The monkey face and flowers are fondant.

A one-year old has to have her own cake to smash!!

My first ever quincenara cake.

For my Civil War history buff. :-) One cake is white, one is chocolate. Both flags are authentically detailed after Civil War battle flags.

A 5-year-old "Princess" cake.

This was for my own princess. The water is blue cellophane, and there are gummy fish "swimming" in it.

You can see the birthday plate I copied for this party in the bottom-right corner. I also make a separate decorated "mini-cake" for the birthday baby to smash!

The "dirt" on this cake is crushed Oreos. The boys thought the battle scene was pretty cool!

This cake served about 50-60 people.

The "black" frosting for the panda is actually a really fantastic dark chocolate frosting...this was one yummy cake! (the adults should enjoy it too :)

The Barbie is obviously not edible...but the dress is. Kids seem to love the chewy texture of fondant!

This was a pink strawberry cake...a bit sweet for me, but the kids always seem to like it.
