Adventure Cakes

This cake, complete with a hand-sculpted Yoda, was for a 7-year-old Star Wars fan.

This was a vanilla cake for a very mature 7-year-old

Clemson fan. These were royal icing letters that are

standing up on the cake.



This cake was for a teenage bibliophile who was reallyinto Stephen King novels, so I put several of his books into the design. Notice the lighthouse from Storm of the Century, a pet grave from Pet Sematary, and the hedge maze from The Shining.





What new 40-year-old wouldn't like to be reminded of

his mortality with a graveyard cake that isn't just hinting

that he's "over the hill" he's actually in the valley.


This graveyard cake is a variation on the original. Notice the stairs and the water feature when you come to the crypt to visit poor Fuji, who also (luckily) turned 40.




"Charlie Brown" was Kyle's CB handle when he

worked as a trucker. I hope he keeps on truckin'

for a very long time!




Destiny's favorite movie was "The BEE Movie," so what better way to celebrate her birthday than to have a bee hive cake on a sheet cake with lots of yummy buttercream icing and cute fondant honey bees.








Everyone loves a good adventure. What better place to have one than at a birthday party?
These cakes were designed for young boys' birthday party themes.



This train was created in fondant to replicate the NS engine in the foreground.
















The "bird's eye view" shows the tunnel and landscaping.






With this cake, you might just wonder what's really going to get eaten.















It was fun turning a mountain board into a cake.













A really cool metallic robot cake from the
Transformers movie.











A destructive Transformer battle!
