Hello Kitty Cake

For my daughter's 15th birthday she wanted a Hello Kitty Cake, however, she didn't want it to be too "cutesy" like the cakes she'd seen in store and on the internet. She wanted it to be a little classy and grown up.

This is what I came up with...

The lily flower was an added on bonus!

Strawberry Shortcake Cake

Strawberry Shortcake...Remember those days?
Here's my version of the Strawberry Shortcake Cake. Its based off of the updated series that comes on the cable channel Hub World.

First, before covering the baked cake in fondant I made a dollsized Strawberry Shortcake as the topper.Strawberry Shortcake was made out of fondant and gumpaste. This is her before we put her on the cake. She was molded ontop of a cake dummy and dried before she was added to the finished cake.

After the doll dried overnight I iced and covered the cake in fondant. I chose green and pink fondant because those were her primary colors and covered half the cake in pink fondant at the base and the top half in hanging green fondant. The giant strawberry was made out of fondant and rice krispy treats. The oversized flower was made out of gumpaste. Smaller flowers and leaves were made out of gumpaste and used to trim the cake.

This is how the cake looked before the words were added.

This is the final cake
