Tinkerbell Cake

This cake was made for a little girl's third birthday who loves Tinkerbell.  It features a sun, Tinkerbell's tree, a meadow with flowers, two clouds in the "shape" of a heart and butterfly, and of course Tinkerbell.  It is a yellow 9x13" cake decorated with blue, brown, black, green, white, dark pink, light pink, yellow, and tan buttercream icing.  It's hard to tell in these pictures, but Tinkerbell is really very small and required a lot of detail which is difficult with buttercream icing.

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 2.5 = $6.38

Yellow Cake: $1.93
Wrapping and Plating: $4.88

End of the School Year Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a friend for her children's teachers as a thank you for the end of the school year.  They are made from yellow cake and are decorated with white, red, blue, black, brown, yellow, and green buttercream icing to look like letter writing paper, an apple, a chalkboard, and an art palette.  I think they turned out pretty cute!  The price for these 12 cupcakes was:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cakes

Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo were the theme of this five year old boy's birthday party, and of course you can't have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles without a pepperoni pizza!  These 9" cakes are all made from yellow cake with green, black, white, orange, red, purple, blue, yellow, and light brown buttercream icing.  My young client was adamant about some of the turtles showing their teeth.  I think they turned out looking pretty fierce!

Paw Patrol Two Layer 9" Round Cake

This two layer 9" round cake was made for two of my favorite little four year old clients who this year are really into Paw Patrol.  This cake was harder than the Paw Patrol sheet cake because the surface area was smaller, so the detail on the logo, Marshall, and Skye had to be more fine.  This cake is a chocolate sheet cake decorated with blue, yellow, red, white, gray, black, dark brown, light drown, cream, light pink, and dark pink buttercream icing.  The cost of this cake was:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 3.5= $8.93

Chocolate Cake: $1.93
Wrapping and Plating: $4.88

Labor: $6.00 per hour x 4.25 = $25.50

Total: $41.24

Paw Patrol Sheet Cake

This sheet cake was made for the family party for two of my favorite little four year old clients who this year are really into Paw Patrol.  I confess this cake took research because I had no idea who the Paw Patrol was, but I think the logo, Marshall, and Skye turned out pretty cool given the amount of detail I was able to create.  This cake is a yellow sheet cake decorated with blue, yellow, red, white, gray, black, dark brown, light drown, cream, light pink, and dark pink buttercream icing.  The cost of this cake was:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 4.25= $10.84
Yellow Cake: $1.93 x 2 = $ 3.86
Wrapping and Plating: $4.88
Labor: $6.00 per hour x 5 = $30

Total: $49.58

Army Men Cupcakes

I made these 24 cupcakes for a little boy who loves all things military.  They are yellow cake cupcakes decorated with rough iced chocolate buttercream icing to look like the ground and some Army men the little boy provided.  The really cool thing about these cupcakes is the camouflage liners I found which I think perfectly create the theme.  The cost of these cupcakes is as follows:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 

Yellow Cake: $1.93
Camo Foils: $1
Labor: $6.00 per hour

Total: $11.48
