I made this cake for my son's second birthday. He LOVES Mickey Mouse! When he saw his cake, his eyes lit up, it made his day!</div>

The top layer was chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting with reeses peanut buttercup candies broken up and sprinkled between each layer. </div>
<div align="center">
The middle was a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Simple yet to die for.</div>

</div><div align="center">This cake was for a baby shower and I was told that the shower theme was elephants. They don't know the gender of the baby so they just call it "little peanut". She really wanted me to incorperate peanuts into somehow and this is what I came up with. The elephant and peanuts are made out of gumpaste and the cake was a butter cake with vanilla almond buttercream and fresh strawberries. Yumm!! </div><div align="center">I had so much fun making the elephant and peanuts. I thought that since they called the baby "little peanut" it would be really cute to have the elephant holding a baby peanut wrapped in a recieving blanket.

</div><div align="center">This cake was for my nephew's 3rd birthday. When he told me he wanted a Beast Boy cake I had no idea what he was talking about. So after some googling I learned that he is from a cartoon called Teen Titans. He has the ability to turn into any animal, that's why he's called Beast Boy. </div><div align="center">I really wanted to do a 3D figure but I didn't have much time to make one so I did a 2D picture of his face and made his belt around the bottom of the cake. His favorite color is blue so I did a blue velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

The theme was vintage barbie. I was again given total creative freedom with this cake. After a lot of brainstorming this is what I came up with. I am so happy with how this cake turned out. I absolutely love making gumpaste high heel shoes! This was also my first time making an anemone flower. It was a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.</div>The DeSpain Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13991836323045043426noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329015533229797249.post-53805894129189542932010-09-13T11:45:00.000-07:002010-09-13T11:46:19.077-07:00Polka Dots<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvsQISidgR3weXSX1Yor78YZH76FudzChnuzLR82Yg1RtUHQwII_lVm-7LGw32Y6z-2Ty8YerVno3sUCqD5wb51oDKdcNqFaFXyCGGcK2ZgK9vHfG3twH6pi9Qrp7r9O90m7PAmkDwnEN/s1600/CIMG3719.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvsQISidgR3weXSX1Yor78YZH76FudzChnuzLR82Yg1RtUHQwII_lVm-7LGw32Y6z-2Ty8YerVno3sUCqD5wb51oDKdcNqFaFXyCGGcK2ZgK9vHfG3twH6pi9Qrp7r9O90m7PAmkDwnEN/s320/CIMG3719.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB3gjMp4fw-NAvOKbKORSlMabjmGAv64gx0XBmsTvRSrUjQ1St3cWV2W6puqGVOfddf0_4YNeQP25pM4kEf0qW54_t-4Aq0Dv2EZRji0CJfBrH2R5NWlCe_gHw6Zy9Q11doQIHSD9lChqd/s1600/CIMG3726.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB3gjMp4fw-NAvOKbKORSlMabjmGAv64gx0XBmsTvRSrUjQ1St3cWV2W6puqGVOfddf0_4YNeQP25pM4kEf0qW54_t-4Aq0Dv2EZRji0CJfBrH2R5NWlCe_gHw6Zy9Q11doQIHSD9lChqd/s320/CIMG3726.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This cake was for a girls 20th birthday. She told me that she didn't care what it looked like as long as it tasted great! All that I had to go by was that her favorite color was pink. It was fun and a little scary having the freedom to do what I wanted, especially since I didn't know her. So I decided just to do what I thought I would want if it were a cake for myself. Luckily for me she loved it! It was a strawberry coconut pecan cake with strawberry coconut pecan cream cheese frosting. Wow that's a mouth full!</div>The DeSpain Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13991836323045043426noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329015533229797249.post-49663190314340319742010-08-20T14:29:00.000-07:002010-08-20T14:29:32.597-07:00French Circus Baby Shower Cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKYIvlE13CY2YcVztUOJHNeST8KZftBeElwn7DvNBDKr3BuangmqCVWF3Xn2YGnIuDCPx5OXYA2z0vtVB95Fsk0PZd6Ignkclqc_-iBuP3AxjGorKPSpvGjcImvdH5DNYh6brLBjXXlIN/s1600/CIMG3645.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKYIvlE13CY2YcVztUOJHNeST8KZftBeElwn7DvNBDKr3BuangmqCVWF3Xn2YGnIuDCPx5OXYA2z0vtVB95Fsk0PZd6Ignkclqc_-iBuP3AxjGorKPSpvGjcImvdH5DNYh6brLBjXXlIN/s320/CIMG3645.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She love's purses and always has the cutest ones so I knew a purse cake would be perfect for her. This cake is definitely my favorite so far. It was a chocolate cake layered with a vanilla almond buttercream...Yummm!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5_19POjl5CkUI258Gyd0BCzA6AHZLNyfoRkPtQpO14XOWWYkQOzxce6bXVzx8bl6u2RYMGThSsDEqf4Nt6HArECF6uTuuRcZYR4sGIi5fWU031N5GkUc6U8zUzNJuJ3bS7wNWCWU-k8V/s1600/CIMG3384.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5_19POjl5CkUI258Gyd0BCzA6AHZLNyfoRkPtQpO14XOWWYkQOzxce6bXVzx8bl6u2RYMGThSsDEqf4Nt6HArECF6uTuuRcZYR4sGIi5fWU031N5GkUc6U8zUzNJuJ3bS7wNWCWU-k8V/s320/CIMG3384.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdgOcGBfrBN5FcdLAbXqiSf9MP7WG9fJY9L79_1A4fYnvWXDH77oBeRoGhW5g6lBnUQAi1Ia4f578ytl4h0Sdm0zrFfsd0cZ21paXARQTyyXgxYtRux_udAmvU5qTCQxMMDBA8Rtyc4nY/s1600/CIMG3383.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdgOcGBfrBN5FcdLAbXqiSf9MP7WG9fJY9L79_1A4fYnvWXDH77oBeRoGhW5g6lBnUQAi1Ia4f578ytl4h0Sdm0zrFfsd0cZ21paXARQTyyXgxYtRux_udAmvU5qTCQxMMDBA8Rtyc4nY/s320/CIMG3383.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6HYehJ93iVkqIL0nNBqTiqKlsuDmNZcJ8bTfA3QktYeVWE2yiDAoaJvLUAAREUI1DxL6d1AuZQMZH1U-hfTGE5SoKR_PXCwup7EoAR0LZAy2KDBQ4PISJs9MKhbQyIeuFy4hqfVtKNJ9p/s1600/CIMG3390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6HYehJ93iVkqIL0nNBqTiqKlsuDmNZcJ8bTfA3QktYeVWE2yiDAoaJvLUAAREUI1DxL6d1AuZQMZH1U-hfTGE5SoKR_PXCwup7EoAR0LZAy2KDBQ4PISJs9MKhbQyIeuFy4hqfVtKNJ9p/s320/CIMG3390.JPG" /></a></div>The DeSpain Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13991836323045043426noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329015533229797249.post-165804320085559312010-07-11T23:03:00.000-07:002010-07-11T23:03:03.079-07:00Batman Cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybl6lcUOoz1BkijwD9ZAstvy0Ay4pf5y9SRX8BN9w9sBhW-CE7gaG2PuWWfgvpa-jOPAi0fOjnB-THOhD0VV_MrubtT4RfAaIoqladtYH_JRUsLy3HtMNYYn6uhOClY7rVf7sk-knKWta/s1600/CIMG3401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybl6lcUOoz1BkijwD9ZAstvy0Ay4pf5y9SRX8BN9w9sBhW-CE7gaG2PuWWfgvpa-jOPAi0fOjnB-THOhD0VV_MrubtT4RfAaIoqladtYH_JRUsLy3HtMNYYn6uhOClY7rVf7sk-knKWta/s320/CIMG3401.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My nephew loves batman and what kid doesn't love oreos.
