Happy Halloween

I love Halloween.  There's something about the Fall time that makes me so happy.  It's cozy.  I just wanna wear scarves, drink red wine, and get crafty.  Halloween is my absolute favorite.  I love the decorations, creepy cute treats, and of course all the candy floating around.  I was super excited to make this Halloween cake for a friend's daughter's birthday! And yes, I finally got my glowing cake.  The jack-o-lanterns glow!
The birthday girl said she wanted a Halloween cake with her name in spooky letters, so the bottom layer is her name made out of black candy and covered in black edible glitter.

21st Birthday Cake

I had a last minute cake order for a 21st birthday cake.  Guys are hard to make cakes for.  They can't be too frilly, pretty or childish, all the things I specialize in.  I actually really liked this cake.  It was simple and manly pretty, at least I like to think so.
It is a strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting with a bit of chocolate frosting just for the effect.  The bunting is made of miniature beer labels.

Portal Cake

Ever hear of a game called Portal? If you have, this cake should make sense. 
I really wanted the rings to glow.  I had a few ideas but couldn't find what I needed to make it work in time.  But don't worry, I will make a cake with glowing parts in the future.
