Monkey

I made another attempt at a FBCT (Frozen Buttercream Transfer) with the monkey for this first birthday cake. It turned out better than my previous attempts, but still isn't completely up to my expectations. I can't figure out how to make it look smooth. I guess this may be a technique that I need to keep practicing. The cake itself is chocolate fudge, with chocolate pudding filling. The frosting is all buttercream. The monkey is a FBCT and the rest of the decorations I freehanded.

Poker and Bowling go hand in hand

My boyfriend is an aspiring pro-bowler and pro-poker player. What better to celebrate his birthday last year than two cakes featuring his favorite hobbies?

The bowling pins and bowling ball were free-handed using a toothpick so I could get them *just right* before using the icing.

His favorite poker hand...eight-ten of hearts. He won a big tournament with this hand!



A poker cake for one of his friends...featuring his favorite hand ("The Hammer")....seven-deuce off suit. LOL. My first attempt at a FBCT (frozen buttercream transfer) for the cards.
