This cake was so much fun to design. I love that it is girly yet colorful and fun. After covering the cakes in white fondant, I used my airbrush to color the tiers this pretty teal and blue-green underwater color. I made the figures out of gum paste because it dries harder and more quickly than fondant. Once they were dry, I attached them to the cake using royal icing. I used the same royal icing to pipe tiny bubbles around the cake.

I added the number 4 to a cute starfish I made using a silicone mold. The seashells were also made using silicone molds. I think they were one of the first molds I ever bought and they always come in handy! I cut the purple seaweed freehand out of thin fondant and just twisted them a bit. They give the cake some life, movement, and texture. They also make the cake look super cute! Happy 4th Birthday Libby!

I love making first birthday cakes. The themes always change and are always super cute! This cake was made to match the birthday invitations which featured the cute dump truck. I made the same dump truck but made it all edible! The cake needed some more detail so I added in some simple orange construction cones that I cut out freehand.

For the sides of the cake I applied a black and yellow stripe pattern to look like construction caution tape. I love the graphic look this gave the cake! I added the birthday message “Happy Birthday Hayden” in a nice large clean font.

Now this is definitely the best part of the whole order! Hayden’s parents wanted a small cute smash cake for the party. I surprised them with this cute orange construction cone cake. It was about 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall. It was so super cute and tiny! I wish I had some pictures of little Hayden digging into it. Happy First Birthday Hayden!
