Mama Confectionista has been anxious to try a couple of cake techniques and this weekend she did that very thing!
This cake incorporates 'bubbles' made of gelatin that reall y make any cake more fun! It's something new and exciting that you don't see everyday.

The vintage look of this cake lends itself to the roaring 20's or old-fashioned wedding lace. it's so intricate and so elegant at the same time!

Fonda-rific Flowers!

The younger crowd has developed sophisticated taste these days, and these two cakes are no exception! they are for a 10 year old and an 8 year old's birthday, and they were very specific about their orders. One had to be heart shaped with flowers, another had to be hot pink with fondant. So the Confectionistas created something special for each! Happy birthday, Elizabeth and Autumn!

What A Drag

Turning 40 is a big milestone...and not always one you look forward to--unless you have an awesome cake to help you celebrate! This cake was made for a friend's husband who races for a living. It was designed to mimic the dragster he drives and The Confectionistas think it's a winner!

Fits To a T

As a fan club president, it's important to make all your bases are covered when planning a Christmas party--venue, guest list, and of course, cake! This cake was designed to match the shirts that the Fans of Bart's Weekly Newsletter sport any time they feel like representing their favorite local go-to news source. The logo is hand cut from fondant and piped with buttercream icing. You could say this cake fits this party to a T!


here's a photo of Little Confectionista and Bart's dad modeling their Bart's Weekly Newsletter shirts, for comparison purposes.

Polka Party!

When you're 13 going on 30, not just any cake will do! A custom cake with polka dots of all colors and multi-color border and words is the only way to go. Little Confectionista created this gem for a friend's daughter using candy for some of the dots and buttercream for the others. The multi-color words and border were made by "striping" the bag with three different colors of icing. Perfect for a birthday party that's "spot on!"

30 Rock

When your good friend hit a milestone birthday, it's important to make them feel....OLD! ha ha. When that friend just happens to see the Metallica cake you made, and request a cake with his favorite band logo on it, you can't help but say yes. This one was fun to make--the eye logo is layered fondant and the "Tool" logo is fondant as well. Icing is buttercream. Little Confectionista wishes her buddy Chris a very happy 30th birthday! I hope the cake is as tasty as it is Tool-arific!

Pac Man Fever

When your friend Jess wants to have an 80's themed birthday party for her twins, and some of her fondest memories are of spending time at Pizza Hut playing the console version of everyone's favorite video games, what's the perfect dessert? Pac Man cupcakes of course! These tasty gems (3 dozen) were decorated with Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, the ghosts (Pinky, Blinky, Inky, and Clyde) and of course all the food that gives you a bonus of 1 up or 2 up! And of course no 80's theme party would be complete without a personalized, neon decorated cupcake just for you! These were so much fun to make--I hope they're as much fun to eat!

The personalized cupcakes for Sophia, Isaiah, and Jessica.
