Minions

My son Evan recently had a birthday and after seeing these on my sister's blog, I KNEW we had to make them too. The kids were INSISTENT that there had to be some one-eyed minions, too.

Evan also wanted a Gru cake, so I kept it very simple and did a (somewhat recognizable) silhouette of Gru's face. The cupcakes were a little time consuming but so easy to make. Some people's creativity amazes me...

(as my daughter is seeing me create this post, she's singing "I'm having a bad bad day..." Lol.

Easter Bunny Cake

Several years ago, I made a cake just like this for my kids when my oldest two, Natalie and Evan, were about 3 and 1.

It's a fun cake especially for kids around three years old. Things seem so exciting and magical at that age, I think. I wanted to make it again for them this year since my youngest son, Miles, is three. Sure enough, he was IN LOVE with it. He loves kitties and bunnies, etc. anyway so it was fun to see his reaction to this. :)

I actually only used one 8 inch round to make it so the kids were MORE than happy to decorate the second cake. ( I can't believe I didn't get a pic of it! It was awesome and more frosting than cake.)

Here is the basic outline for making the cake- this isn't the original one I used, and I can't seem to find it, but this one has the same diagram for cutting and assembling the body.

I used chocolate chips for eyes and a jelly bean for the nose. :)

Birthday Cakes 1- Super Heroes

So, since this blog is for me to document and keep track of my previous projects as well as the current ones, I am going to do a few posts on the birthday cakes that I have made over the years.

The Incredible Hulk

My husband wanted a landscape w/ moveable action figures that could battle on his 30th b-day cake :) Iron Man

Super Heroes have been HUGE at our house for a couple of years now. That explains why there have been so many variations of super heroes depending on which boy's birthday it was.
