Girly 21st Cheetah Birthday Cake

This cake was done for a girl who turned 21 years old. I actually knew her since she was a little girl so reality set in that I'm getting up there lol. Anyway she contacted me a few weeks ago, and said she wanted Cheetah print on her cake with red velvet, and she left the rest up to me. I like when I'm given creative control, it gives me room to be creative! I started out by baking two layers of red velvet cake, and then I made the buttercream frosted. Once The cake cooled I filled and iced the cake with the buttercream, and let it set. While it set I made Marshmallow fondant and colored it to the different colors needed to make the cake. After the cake was covered with the fondant, I ended up with something like this.
Once I had a plain cake I was ready to decorate. I made the edible paint and started painting on my cheetah print. Once the paint dried I made the make-up accessories out of fondant. The lips were made out of a candy mold. Thanks to my friend Corn for helping me out. I had him on the phone 5 am sending him pictures of every step just to make sure it was right! The birthday girl lovvvvveeed her cake! <--Those were her words lol

Brown and White zebra diaper bag Cake


This a Zebra diaper bag cake covered in homemade MMF with handmade fondant baby sneakers and the bottle was made from a candy mold.
I did a desert Bar in which I made  custom cakepops, cupcakes, and chocolate covered pretzels, and lollipops that tied the whole look together. I also customized the frames,  with the expecting parents picture. It was a lot of work, but fun seeing all my creations come to life!
