LADY BUG CAKES

Lady Bug Birthday Cake, and Matching Smash Cake







Main Cake

This colorful cake was and topper are Strawberry and lemon cake, with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberry filling. The lady bugs are also fondant covered lemon cakes. I made the smash cake without a fondant cover, so that little Mackenzie could dig her fingers into it easily.
Total prep time:16 hours.
Smash Cake

SPRING TIME CAKE

Birds and Flowers Cake. 






I used food color gel to hand paint the details on the design of Spring on this cake.   Painting is also a hobby of mine, so this was easy and fun for me  to actually paint the birds and nest.   The Mums on top, was made with gum paste and is compleatly edible.   The cake itself, is strawberry cake, with lemon cream cheese frosting, and fresh strawberry filling. 

This Cake feeds 20 to 25 people. 
It took me 12 hours of prep time, from start to finish for this cake.
