1st Birthday Lion Cake - orange, blue, yellow and brown {children's birthday cake}

I was excited to make this cake because of the fun color combination - orange, blue, brown and yellow! The colors were picked to coordinate with the party invitation and then lion was picked because of a lion art print in the birthday girl's room that she loved. This cake was a large 12 inch round cake and was delivered to a residence in Arcadia. The desert table was decorated in bright oranges and blues - love it! (photo taken with my iphone so its not the best photo but I just had to share this cake)

Vegas bound - Cake Camp 2011

Simply Sweets Cake Studio is closed this week so that we can attend Cake Camp in Las Vegas, NV. The California Cake Camp hosts a 'cake camp' every two years - several days of classes from top instructors from around the world plus an awesome vendor area with the latest cake toys. This is my 4th year attending and looking forward to enjoying the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa which is hosting this year's Cake Camp.

I'll be posting photos and updates of my classes on the Simply Sweets Facebook page along with some tweets. Updates on the rest of the trip I will be sharing on my personal blog, Sweet Shoppe Mom, Sweet Shoppe Mom facebook page and twitter account.

6th Birthday Cake for a Lego themed celebration {Children's Birthday Cakes}

We created this brightly colored toy building blocks cake for a Lego themed birthday party The blocks are made from fondant - we arranged some on top in the shape of a 6 and more on the cake board. This photo was taken after our customer added some of their Lego figures. When my son saw this photo he decided he wants the same cake for his 6th birthday but he wants to put his Ninjago figures on it.
