Unique Holiday Cakes

Over the last half year I've had the opportunity to make a variety of specialty event cakes.  The Fourth of July presents a fun challenge with its confinement to three colors with stars and stripes.  Here's a few of the banana flavored cake and peanut butter flavored icing cupcakes I brought to share with friends at the fireworks show.







 I had fun using a combination of butter cream frosting and fondant to make the star shapes.











So patriotic, and reportedly yummy too!



Then in middle of August's heat I was inspired to make an Easter themed set of cakes or cakes for a child's birthday celebration for someone who likes bunnies! The carrot cakes are a standard carrot cake with cream cheese icing.  The pink butter cream frosting bunny slices straight through into a blood red color with of course, red velvet cake.
 





Although they take more time, people love to have their own cake (and eat it too).  If you know someone looking for a unique cake for their next event or holiday, I'd love to help out!
