Thanks to this site for kid birthday cake ideas. This Hummer cake was copied from other cakes on this site made with a 9×13 bottom layer topped with a 9×9 top layer (just made a pound cake recipe). I trimmed the 9×9 down to probably 9×8 to make the “hood” a bit deeper. I then … Read more
This is the jungle cake I made for my son’s first birthday party. I got the design from the Whimsical Bake house cookbook and also used their recipes. It was all chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling. The filling was the best part – it’s just sweetened whipped cream with crushed up oreo’s in … Read more
As with other similar horse cakes I simply cut the shape out of a 13×9 inch cake pan and used the cutout between head and neck for the ear. I iced the entire horse cake with chocolate icing and then used the “hair” tip (can’t remember which number) for the mane – I held the … Read more
The idea for this cake obviously was this site for horse cakes. (Thank you to everyone who shares- you’re all great!) I only made a couple small changes to personalize it. For the ears I cut out two triangles and using frosting and toothpicks attached them to give it a 3-d effect. I used long … Read more
This cake was for a bridal shower for a bride who was crazy about frogs. This cake was a combination of two pictures that the bride’s sister had found online for frog birthday cakes. The frog was a pound cake and used three different cake pans to create (along with rice crispies to shape his … Read more
This frog cake was made from a regular 8-inch pan cake from cake mix. I made extra cupcakes with the rest of the batter, and used 2 of them for the eyes. I used regular vanilla frosting for the eyes, and then I took the rest of the frosting and dyed it green using green … Read more
I basically took ideas from the frog cupcakes already posted. I made chocolate cupcakes, tinted frosting green and frosted the cupcakes. Then I took large marshmallows and cut them into thirds making three circles. I then cut the bottom quarter off each marshmallow circle to make it flat on the bottom (think dome). I took … Read more

I made this Nemo cake for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I took a lot of Finding Nemo picture ideas off this web-site and added a few of my own. Nemo is made from 2 Pampered Chef batter bowls-a large one and a small one. I mixed the cake from a regular cake mix following the … Read more
I searched through a lot of easy cake recipes until I found this one. Reptile Man came to the party bringing with him a huge snake amongst other creatures. I got the idea for the cake from this site and it worked like a dream. I made two chocolate chip bundt cakes using one of … Read more
I made this Dora the explorer cake for my daughters second birthday. She is a mad Dora fan. I drew the picture freehand from one of the many Dora items around our house onto some grease proof paper. I had to make two cakes using one large rectangular pan (chocolate cake) and a circular pan … Read more
I made these Easter cupcakes for my four-year old son’s nursery school class. I used some buttercream icing to “glue” the marshmallow bunnies to the top of the cooled cupcakes. Then I used a grass tip to completely cover the top of the cupcake with buttercream icing tinted green. I built up the grass around … Read more
