Dash

I did this Dash (from The Incredibles) cake for our Godson Charlie - years ago - probably February of 2005 because we were still in our other house. I did the design using a buttercream transfer - my first (and only so far) attempt at it. I used instructions here from cake central.

I made this in February 2006, a day or two before I found out I was pregnant with Ryan! That probably didn't help with how exhausted I was being up all night decorating this, LOL! The cake was for our godson (and Marc's cousin's son), Charlie.

Ryan's 1st Birthday Cake

This was his first birthday cake (we did a jungle theme) - October 2007. I got the idea from a Wilton magazine - used the pre-made fondant to make the loops for the mane and tail. I used red and orange fondant - though the colors look a bit off in these pics.

A "catch up" post. When I don't have new stuff to post, I'll post some previous things I've baked just to get it on here - as ideas and reminders for myself :-) I'm trying to tag things so that I can go back and look at cookies, cakes, etc.


I used this awesome Nordic Ware train cake pan - it bakes 9 individual train cars - it also works really well for muffins and other everyday baking! They are really cute without even decorating them. I also used some real matchbox cars and GeoTrax RR crossing signs and gates - Marc cut the bottoms off (of the signs) to make them sit on the cake better, and then I carefully washed everything before using them! Everything else is edible - I used lots of candies including realistic rock candies as cargo :-)
