Bumblebee Cake: Made for a friend’s son’s birthday. Bumblebee is pretty popular so it was impossible to find cake appropriate toys I could use to build a scene. Instead I made the car based on the toy seen pictured here. My car carving skills need work so I’m not a huge fan of the final product. However, the kids loved it and that’s really all that matters.
This was carved from an 11x17 layer and 9x13 layer. I used the left over pieces of cake to raise the car up off the board with some extra Oreos used to support additional areas under the car. The wheels are Oreos. The lights are a combination of flavored Tootsie Rolls and fruit roll-ups. I printed out the Autobot logo and used that as a guide when drawing it on the front of the car. It’s not the best but it’s recognizable. Then I taped the printout to the top of the box for delivery.




Jungle Baby Shower Cake: Made for a jungle themed baby shower for friends. Multiple parts of this one aren’t edible. The animal figures were bought at JoAnn and D&G Occasions. I had most of the trees from an earlier purchase at Sugarcraft but I got a few more at D&G as well. The rocks are actually Candy Store Milk Chocolate Rocks found at Walmart. The cake is made from two 11x15 layers, one chocolate and one yellow. I just cut it up and did a little trimming/sculpturing to create the rock formation. And because it’s for a large shower (40+ people), I used my leftover cake mix to make the extra cupcakes.
