Cake Mania

Today is one of my sons birthday.  This has me thinking of some of the 
cakes I've made.  These cakes have not only been for my kids.  

Spidy was comical to make.  Every pun intended:)
I had so many mishaps with the frosting that day.
  But Joelito (pronounce in Spanish) loved it.  

This was yummy and very enjoyable to make.  I was able to use
my baking and candy making techniques for this tasty treat.  The 
cake in the background was for the guests.  The chocolate and
pink strawberry dazzle was for the birthday girl alone.

This dragon was for my family.  No special occasion.

Optimus Prime was a big deal after the Transformer movie
came out.
This was a family project.  The birthday boy wanted a mountain bike theme.  A sport he and his father share.  My husband built the ladders (I linked a UTube video to give you an understanding of what a ladder mean to my men). My husband helped me sculpt the cake and insisted on frosting some of it.  The birthday dude set up the bike, rider and all the a woodland accessories how he wanted.  The rider apparently crashed very near a rock.  Oh, close call.  Now I'm inspired to go and bake on this rainy day.  I'll warm up the house and make it smell good.
