Imagination Station Cake




For my 10 year old's party they went to Imagination Station.  So, I copied the logo and came up with this cake.  It was simple, but they got it!  The cake itself is also a swirl cake so it was fun!  We added the balloon decoration to make it feel like a birthday!

Graduation Cap Cupcakes

So easy, but they turned out very fun. I made mini cupcakes. Frosted with pink and white (her color choice, obviously you could use school colors). Then I used sour DOTS for the cap and Starbursts cut in half lengthwise for the top and pull and peel licorice cut at the end and attached with a dot of frosting...DONE! I did almost a hundred to fill the cupcake tree and they were a big hit at the party.

Baseball Cake


Okay, I went the easy route! Just a round cake frosted in white with red licorice. I was going to go all out and make a 3D circle cake, but if you saw this 6-year old's face when he saw this cake you would have just gone easy, too! He LOVED it!

Butterfly Cake




Butterflies, butterflies and more butterflies! I wanted to do butterflies all over this cake and make it very pretty for my teenage girl. It didnt' turn out too formal but she loved it--that's all that matters to me! And, her brothers enjoyed the candy, so it was great!

I used white chocolate covered pretzels for the wings and sour gummy worms for the body, slicing part way down and spreading apart to make the antennas. I frosted the whole layered cake white and added sprinkles for more color.

If I were to do it again (and have more time) I would add flowers and/or leaves and do a light pink frosting so the butterflies would show up better.

Rocket Cake

Okay, so this wasn't actually a cake I made, but I added to it and thought I'd share my inspiration! You could very well make the rolled cake by either doing a jelly roll or an ice cream roll, but I bought mine. If I made it I would have maybe written his name down like a rocket or something. Anyway, it was already 'sprinkled' so I kept it. Then I added the sparkling candles and the end and made a paper cone for the top. Very easy but it was neat when the candles were lit!

Rock Cake


This cake was made for my 7-year old son who is into rocks right now. I baked a chocolate cake in a glass bowl....

Then decorated with grey frosting. It is actually white with black gel coloring swirled in, but you can't tell in this picture. I let the chocolate cake show through a little for the look of the rock! Then, I crushed peanut butter oreos to make the rock look like it is in dirt and added candy rocks for the added touch. He was pleased!

Basketball Cake


Another Cub Scout Father-Son creation! This time they made an orange-flavored cake with orange-flavored frosting and black frosting lines. It was baked in two glass bowls and then put on top of each other! Good job, guys!

Dirt & Worms Pudding

Okay, so it's not cake. But, it made a fun treat for the fishing party! I just purchased the chocolate pudding cups and topped them with crushed chocolate Oreo's and gummy worms.

Dirt & Worms

This is always a popular cake for the boys! It is a chocolate cake covered in chocolate frosting and topped with crushed Oreo's (the chocolate ones) and gummy worms and bugs (fruit snacks).

Beach Ball

A beach ball for fun! It's just a circle cake frosted in sections!

Snorkler

This is one of my favorites! I just did a simple round cake and added Hershey's Hugs for hair and candy eyes and mouth and added a brand new pair of goggles that the birthday boy got to keep and use in the pool!

BBQ Grill

I can't take any credit for this one! When Tyler was in cub scouts they had a father-son cake contest and they put this one together all on their own. The whole thing is edible. I wish I had a better picture of the top...they actually made grill lines with marshmallows underneath for hot coals! The hamburger patties are cookies and the hot dogs and cheese are molding candy. The fire is melted cinnamon candies broken into shards and the rest is frosted.
