Care Bear Cake


A friend of my mom's found this design online and wanted it for her daughter. She contacted me and sent me the picture through facebook. I saw it and thought it was the most adorable thing ever, and pretty easy compared to some of the ones I had already tackled...The slide was the hardest part. I had to use fondant strips and supported them with a cardboard cut out with dowels under it. I really loved this cake!! So did the mother! I have a few more cakes to make for her this year....
One of the cakes was chocolate, the other butter, and then I made the big cake a marble. I made cream cheese vanilla icing in a huge bowl then colored my icings, iced the cakes in blue. Made the clouds, then put the rainbow together. I cut the stars out of yellow fondant and let them harden a little in the air before placing them all over the cake. They put the Care Bears on the cake when they got it home. So much fun!!!

The bridal shower



Since my first cake attempt turned out so well, I borrowed a friend's Women's Weekly magazine and offered to make another friend of mine a cake for her bridal shower. I thought that it turned out really well. I used real flowers rather than edible ones, but the cake turned out so beautiful. Fondant was interesting to work with but I loved creating a cake that was elegant and perfect for the occasion.
