The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Right after I got back from vacation, it was time to get busy for Daniel's birthday cake!  The theme for his party was caterpillar...how cute!  His cake was inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  For those who are unfamiliar, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is an awarding-winning children's book that features what other than a caterpillar:

 

The caterpillar's head was made with a cake; its body comprised of cupcakes with varying shades of green buttercream and sprinkled with leaves made with fondant. 

 

 

Cute cake for a cute boy! Happy birthday Daniel...hope you had a blast!

 



Ocean-themed Wedding Cake



I had created a wedding cake for a couple before I left for vacation a few weeks ago and now that I'm back, I finally have some time to post an update!

It was an ocean-themed wedding so the bride wanted to incorporate seashells, sand and pearls. The seashells were created using molds and all hand-painted.

 

The cake topper was a pair of starfish 'holding hands' to create a heart shape in the middle =)
