Superman cake! I am a nurse and a young man that has Down's syndrome was at the nurse's station talking about his upcoming birthday.

Picnic Cake:)

by Maria Paula
(Joshua Tree, California, United States)

This picnic cake was made for my mom and her friends. They love to have picnics, talk and eat really good food. So she asked me to make a cake that represented her friends and of course her.

Here is what I came up with. A cake with her and her two friends enjoying a picnic. It is a chocolate cake with icing on the top covered with rolled fondant, fondant flowers and fondant figures.

I like this cake because it can be used in every occasion.
My mom and her friends loved the cake so much they did not want to cut it. I felt all my hard work has paid off with my picnic cake.

I hope you like it:)

Cat Birthday Cake

by Meena Mustafa
(Virginia USA)

I made this cat birthday cake for Mohd's birthday which was on the 6th of June. He just loves cats. So I surprised him with this cake cause all his three cats love being in the living room :). The decor from carpet to couch was created by me using gum paste and food colors. If you look closely I even made the cat's poop near the plant lol. The flavor was German chocolate covered in fondant. I really enjoyed making the art work for this cake. Hope you guys will like it too :)

Thanks Meena Your cat birthday cake is great! Very unique idea.

Pumpkin Graveyard Cake

by Anthony Parker
(Coram, New York)

This pumpkin graveyard cake has a delicious double chocolate as it's base layer, topped with Hershey's chocolate icing and Oreo cookie crumbs.

The Pumpkin is made of a delicious yellow cake recipe topped with orange and green fondant, with dark chocolate for it's face.

Also on this wonderful cake are a variety of Halloween decorations all made from white and dark chocolate which include ghosts, rat, eyeball, skull, tombstone, and a bone arm coming out of the grave. Wrapped around the cake is candy corn and a few mellow creme pumpkins.

After making this Pumpkin Graveyard Cake, I definitely learned how important greasing the pan prior to baking is. Lost a whole cake! :(

"I Love Sweets" Birthday Cake

by Ann Bailey
(North Carolina)

This "I Love Sweets" cake was made for a young girl whose mother said she couldn't make up her mind what kind she wanted. She went back and forth between an ice cream one to chocolate cupcakes to strawberry shortcake. So I thought it was a good idea to combine all of them into one.

The ice cream cone is made of rice Kripsie treats and the slice of cake on top is strawberry with fresh strawberries inside. The bottom is a triple chocolate fudge with chocolate ganache, covered with fondant.

I decorated the bottom tier with fondant cupcakes flavored with amaretto. I had fun making it and the young girl and mother loved it.

Thank you Ann for a great entry! The idea is very unique. Love it. Hope it gets lots of comments and ratings.
