Lighthouse Cake

This lighthouse cake was made for a special evening with the young women at church. The theme was Keepers of the Light. The decorations were beautiful and the program was inspiring. The lighthouse cake was reflecting the theme. It was a vanilla cake with a lemon mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. A sheet cake base and three tiers of cake rounds for the lighthouse.  There was a tealight in the top with cast sugar windows.

Deja Vu

 

I made one of these a year ago and this year the sweet woman ordered two larger ones for a conference. I just snapped a quick picture after I'd packed it up so it looks a bit wonky under the plastic. It's fudge marble sheet cakes with chocolate buttercream.

Chili Cook-off Cake

 

 

 

We had a scout camp fundraiser for the young men at church last month. The theme was a chili cook-off, complete with a seasoned judge.  My husband's submission was candy chili, with jelly beans and a bunch of other bean candies and chocolates. My contribution was this crockpot chili cake. Chocolate cake with nutella swirls and nutella frosting; the top had chocolate & yogurt covered raisins, strawberry preserves and chocolate cake crumbles. Complete with blue ribbon!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

My baby turned 2!  He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  It's saves a lot of tears come time to change a diaper; just show him the Mickey on his diaper and he comes runnin'! We had a very quiet party with some family friends and their kids. I saw a similar cake online and thought it was darling. 8" cake, can't for the life of me remember the flavor.  The mickey head is foam balls covered in fondant. The foot and red clubhouse are rice cereal treats.  Happy birthday, bud, I love you.
