Strawberry Shortcake 1st Birthday Cake!!

This cakes is very simple yet adorable. I made a sugar "1" to crown the cake and also made sugar strawberries out of gum paste to adorn the entire cake. I loved this cute cake! And no, it was not strawberry inside! :)

Good News Revealed.

Are you guys ready?????? Drum roll please.....

I will be competing live in a Teen Cake Challenge at the NY Cake Convention in NYC on January 3rd, 2010. The theme to the challenge will be "School Days..." The admission to the challenge will be 8 dollars and it will be held at Hotel Pennsylvania, right around Madison Square Garden! I will have four hours all to myself and my cake to work some magic. I won't lie; I am excited and a bit fearful. More information will be posted on their site. Wish me luck!!

Polka Dot Birthday Cake.

This birthday cake is covered with small polka dots in light pastel colors. My brother was a huge help while decorating this cake. He placed the dots onto the cake as I piped onto where they belong. He also had the genius idea of placing the bow on the cake. Inside the cake was a Dominican cake with vanilla buttercream and a rich chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Thanks Ro!
