Star Wars Lego Cake

This was a really fun cake to work on. The birthday boy wanted a blue cake, and is a huge Star Wars fan...especially Star Wars Legos. We decided to dye a white cake blue, and use chocolate frosting. I found a Star Wars Lego dude wrap that was perfect for the bottom layer, and the top layer had the Star Wars logo. His mom and dad asked if there was any way to have an edible Death Star as a topper......so there goes my first attempt at sculpting with cereal treats! The Death Star won Round 1, but I came back in Round 2 and knocked it out. When the birthday boy saw his cake for the first time, the expression on his face was absolutely indescribable! He said, "Is that Star Wars Legos?!?" and before we could even finish saying yes, he exclaimed,  "IS THAT A DEATH STAR?!?" It was so awesome, and I was SO relieved he knew what it was! LOL

Graduations Galore!

Well, it's graduation time! In the span of a week, I did 3 graduation cakes. 

The first one was Leah's.....I don't really know what to say about her cake. She knew what she wanted on it, and provided me with a list, and what a list it was! hahaha Here is her list of things she wanted included on her cake:

3 tiers (bottom chocolate, middle and top tie dyed)
a beach scene with waves and sunshine
Live, Laugh, Love
her grad pic
her favorite colors (red, green, yellow)
hearts, stars, and peace signs
school spirit (GHS, 2010, green, white, and black)
name in 3D on the top
something funky and festive as a topper

 

I had no idea how I was going to get them all on one cake, but I did. I was so nervous to deliver this cake, but Leah and her family LOVED it, so all is good :) 

Here is Leah's cake:

Next came Kiersten's cake. This was a bit more of a traditional cake design. Her school colors are orange and blue, but the senior class colors were purple and silver. The class motto was Don't Stop Believing! Kiersten is a bit of a flower child, so I decided to incorporate some daisy type flowers on the cake as well. 

Here is how Kiersten's cake turned out:

 

Last came Susan's cake. She wanted to be totally surprised by her cake so I decided to go with a more traditional style with a funky twist. The top two layers are tie dyed green, black, and white, and the bottom layer is German chocolate with coconut and pecan filling.
