March Birthdays

March seems to be THE month for birthdays and I've been busy and having fun making one birthday cake after another! Here's what I've made so far for the month...

First up was Carrie's birthday! Guess what Carrie loves at the moment... :)

Hola...it's Dora the Explorer!

This is the first time I tried a Frozen Buttercream Transfer Method, glad it turned out well and she was excited to see the cake! :) The cake was butter cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

Next up...a friend ordered a cake for his fellow March birthday boy, Danny.

Guess he's still a boy at heart :)

Since it was still snowing in Kansas City, I thought it'd be fitting to have a white surface for the 'car'. Of course, we must have a vanity plate for the car as well. Initially wanted to have "HRTBR8KR" for the plate but that's too many letters. :( The fluffy white 'stuff' was grated coconut on pandan flavored whipped cream to complement the pandan cake.

Just last Saturday was Jaz's birthday pool party and her mommy ordered a Mickey Mouse themed cake for her since she loves Mickey and Minnie. Another 3D cake to tackle :)

It turned out great! Really bright and colorful!

This was a Pandan cake with pandan custard layer covered in buttercream and fondant. The hat is edible, it's made of cake and covered in fondant with fondant ears. It took a lot of red to make it Mickey Mouse Red! The flaws and creases show up more when the color is darker so I had a lot of 'smoothing' time with Mickey. :)

That's it for now...at least 3 more birthday for what left of March and maybe more pics of birthday cakes? Please feel free to leave comments your comments. Thanks!
