Warlock Cake

After making my boyfriend his Moonkin cake, naturally one of my other friends wanted a World of Warcraft cake as well. So for Dylan's birthday this year I made him a cake based on his character, a Blood Elf Warlock. I would have loved to do more with this cake but I only had a day to work on it so I did as much as I could. I used a new chocolate cake recipes from my book Collete's Cakes. It called for coffee and almond extract which made an interesting but amazing (and very sturdy!) cake. I topped it with vanilla buttercream and, of course, marshmallow fondant.
The little felhunter on top of the cake did not want to cooperate but I finally finished him and, at least for the pictures, was able to keep his little tentacle things to stay in place. I really wish I had taken some picture before the hot, 45 min car ride to my friends house but sadly I was running late already and didn't have my camera. A bubble formed under the fondant and made me very sad but it still tasted great! Just wish I had a picture of it when it was all nice and smooth.

I was so happy to add the little felhunter to my collection! They are one of the reasons I rolled a lock ^.^ Dylan wanted to eat him but he would have either thrown up or gouged himself on one of the 4 wires I used to put it together. Everyone loved the cake which always make the hours I put into each cake so worth it! I have 3 more cakes this month so far so I hope to have lots of pictures for you!

Birthday Cake

Hunter and his brother just turned 21 this past Tuesday yesterday so today I made them a birthday cake. I was going to make a WALLE cake but around 10pm last night I figured out about how long it was going to take and how many supplies I was going to need. It was going to take me way too long on my own so I started brain storming. There was no way he was going to get a regular cake after my awesome chess board cake I made him last year. Hunter really likes the Moonkin form on his druid in World of Warcraft so I decided to go with that. It was so much fun and everyone loved it. I made a yellow cake with chocolate frosting (his favorite) and then used my new grass piping tip for the decorations. We just got a ton of little wild pansies in our yard so I picked a couple of them to add some more color to my cake. I'm making my cake tomorrow for my birthday Monday! I can't wait! I finally get to have a girls night out. I miss having girl time. I hope everyone has a great Easter!
