Strummin to the 40's

We decorated this super dooper #40 cake topped with the birthday boy strumming his Birthday tunes. As requested, Green, white and black were the theme colors of the birthday, so we hand sculpted the birthday boy with his green & white stripped shirt and his signature shades.

If you're wondering what song he's strumming, its his personalized birthday song.

Why don't you join in and sing a long:)

"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me I'm cool as a caaaaaaat, happy birthday to me:)"

And since we're on the topic of cute. These lil toddlers are soooo cute, they put the "C" in cute and are the sweetest icing on the cupcake:)

Star Spangle Deelite!

Since our write up about our M1NT cupcake tower, our star spangle themed cakes and cupcake towers have been a huge hit. So I thought I'd share some other designs we have done with the same star spangle pizzaz.

Here is a Ratatouille topper cake we did for a 60th birthday party. The champagne and Ratatouille were all hand sculpted with fondant. The cake was accompanied with lil diva cupcakes in Vanilla & Choco cupcakes with alternating Buttercream.



For a true Aussie fan, we topped this cake with a variety of beverages and of coarse a true Aussie Fosters beer. We matched our cake with the same colors as the Australian flag.
