I made this Care Bear Cake for my daughter’s 2nd birthday using the Wilton 3-D bear tin in a delicious Orange Chocolate Sour Cream Cake. It is perched on top of a cloud (flower) shaped Banana Cake (which we probably could have done without as there was plenty of cake in the bear – even … Read more
The large cake is a traditional butter cake, which used 9 eggs – it was a very firm cake which made cutting out the Curious George shape easier. The Curious George feet and hands had to be attached using toothpicks. The balloon cakes (same recipe but with 6 eggs each) were made using an oval … Read more

The cake is a 9×13 and a 6×9 put together. The two “balloons” are cakes made in glass custard dishes. This was my first attempt so I bought an 18-piece Wilton beginner kit which had the tips I needed (#4 and #16 I think?) The boys loved it.

The creation of this came after the request of my five year old nephew. He wanted Cat in the Hat for his Dr Seuss birthday. After looking through the famous Dr Seuss book and searching online I decided to make it look like the book with the cat overlooking. The cake was a golden yellow … Read more
I made this Cinderella cake using 3 boxes of yellow cake mix. I used lower fat directions, substituting the oil with applesauce and using egg whites rather than whole eggs.

My neighbor was having a princess party for her 5th birthday. She loves Cinderella so decided that she would like me to make a Cinderella Carriage Cake.
