The Troll Doll Cake

As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one I will make the star of my next cake. Since I'm a big science fiction fan vintage style, low budget, B-movies, I was looking for some inspiration and she was it! No Barbie could play this part... So I baked several layers of cake and mixed some buttercream frosting and set to work.

This cake is part of an exercise to practice piping, the prep time took practically all day 7-8 hours and the decoration the following day, a couple of hours, in all about 10 hours. Because the doll inspired me so, it was a joy to assemble, just like when I work on one of my sculpture. I love to work with the design aspect and brainstorming the colors, when it all comes together it's magic!
I'm very pleased with this cake, I'm thinking about getting the whole line of these troll dolls to play with...

My daughther's Sweet Sixteen Cake

This month was so busy, but I still found the time to make my daughter's sixteen B-Day cake. Of course I had plan this a month ahead of time and every week did some preparation for the cake. When the day finally came to assemble the cake, I had so much fun putting it together!
Of course the guests came shortly afterwards and, well within a few hours the cake was disassembled and destroyed by me, everyone loves to eat it too.
Fortunately, I had time to take a few pictures.

The cake was a yellow cake with strawberries and cream filling, the icing was vanilla buttercream, garnished with handmade chocolate roses, fresh strawberries, chocolate shavings and handmade chocolate strawberry ganache truffles.

What will I make next? cakes are fun... another cake.
