This is a chocolate espresso cake that I made for the Tall Ones Birthday. It also had espresso flavored frosting and I colored the fondant coffee tan. I cut the fondant shapes on my Cricut Cake using the From My Kitchen cartridge. I also rolled small balls from the fondant and then smashed them down in the center with a tooth-pick to make little fake coffee beans.

For my sisters birthday I created a campfire / marshmallow roast cake. Camping and eating marshmallows are two of her very favorite things. I had the dilemma in front of me that I had to create a cake to serve 50 people, the party was off site, not at a home and had to be transported by car for a 45 minute drive. So while it isn’t as pretty I made a sheet cake and just left the cake in the pan to decorate and this worked out really well. This cake was a lot of fun to make. I created the fire logs and roasting twigs out of brown fondant and cut them on my Cricut Cake. I piped on the orange flames (butter cream frosting) and then cut mini-marshmallows in half and attached them on top of the branches with a little bit of butter cream frosting. I won’t revel her age but this isn’t the first nor the last time that we’ll but a 2 candle and a 9 candle on her cake.
