Nintendo Cake

Have I mentioned that my mother-in-law is fabulous at decorating cakes? She made this the other weekend for my bro-in-law’s birthday. It was her first time to use fondant. I think she did a fabulous job.

For this cake, she decided to make her own fondant from scratch. She is so talented. Oh, and decorating cakes is just a hobby for her. We keep telling her she should go into business!

Cakes, cakes, cakes!

We had a busy birthday weekend. C & I headed to the in-laws to celebrate the January & February birthdays - 5 in all! I thought I'd share the cakes that my talented mother-in-law made... The one on the right is for Morgan who turns 21. She got a margarita cake! The cake on the left is for the old people who got a warm milk (in a margarita glass) cake. Ha ha! I thought they turned out great, so I wanted to share. Sunday we went to a party for our friend, Rylan. Her mom used the Wilton cupcake pan to make the large cupcakes and then made all the regular cupcakes. I thought everything was so cute and had to show it off for her. :) Isn't the tablescape gorgeous? The zebra print paper is tissue paper!

And I ran across this rainbow cake here. I think this would be so perfect for a child's birthday party! I think you could do the same technique with regular cake batter. It kind of makes me think 70's hippie.
