I had so much fun making this cake. As well as Pokemon, the Skylander theme gives numerous possibilities to a cake designer. And as I’ve heard, there are more characters on their way. This pugn...

It would have been easier for me to shape the cake as Thomas and be done with it at once, but the parents declined the idea since they were afraid that little Alex could refuse to cut the cake (h...

My dear son is turning 9 today. He is still faithful to old SpongeBob. This year the cake is a scene from his favourite episode (and not just his, I have to admit I love this one too). Tim actual...

I have to admit I’ve known very little about Pokemon until recently. My own kiddo has no interest in this theme, so I had to rely on the internet sources to educate myself. Now I know at least ...
I was supposed to post the next daring bakers’ challenge, but … it didn’t happen, at least not yet. Today is my dear boy’s 8-year birthday. And this is his birthday cake. Tim’s old love...

I love the story and adore each and every character. I would probably make all of them if only the cake was larger and comfortable for everyone. Inside, there is a rich chocolate cake, moistened ...

I was asked to make “something with snowflakes and red skis” for a little boy’s 2nd birthday celebration. His early affection to skiing doesn’t come as a surprise since the kid lives in W...

This cake is one of my favorite Christmas things to bake. Not a fruitcake, but a buttery almond pound cake with tons of brandy-soaked fruits, it is still can be made well in advance (about a week...

Sorry, this is not the post I promised. I still don’t have time for a lengthy post. I’ve been doing a lot of cake decorating lately. It’s a time consuming but also a quite satisfying activi...
