Sonic Cake!!!

so for my oldest sons birthday, he loves sonic.
and strawberries.
so i decided to make a cake using fondant again.  i was really nervous about using fondandt againconsidering the last time the stuff tasted awful!!!  i mean super disgusting.  so i talked to my dearest friend Mandy and she gave me a recipe for some marshmellow fondant.  i was scared to make that too just cuz i'm kinda a pansy when it comes to trying new things by myself.

anyway, i made the 2 rounds and cut them each in half, iced, strawberried, and iced and then 'dirty iced' the whole cake and refridgerated it, then i iced it a again.

i then made all my sonic pieces....

and then i put it all together!!!!  and i have to say, i thought it was soooooooooo awesome!!!!

i am really pleased with myself, and how it turned out.  it gave me hope and excitment for the future projects!

and here i am with the awesome soncic cake hiding in the pantry so the birthday boy couldnt see it.

he LOVED it and so it made all the stressing and worrying so worth it!

anyway- yay for more cakes!!!!

30 minute Pumpkin Cake

for my daughters kindergarten class, i am the roommother.  and well, the teacher informed me the morning of a cake contest that i needed to have a cake decorated.  she brought a bundt cake and was going to glaze it and call it good, until she realized that i could/should decorate it!  totally freaked me out.  so after a few frantic calls to my mom, and one of my best friends i came up with this.

i filled the center of the bundt with chocolate chips. i made a 'play dough' type 'fondont' of pwdered sugar and watrer, and made some leaves.  with a fat tootsie roll as the stem.  not bad for only 30 minutes if you ask me!

oh and i used a fun size pack of oreos to crush and use as the dirt. 

i was quite pleased with how it came out on such a short notice.  her teacher was shocked to see what i did!  me too for that matter!
