Frozen Themed Stacked Cake with Crown- Cake Decorating

A small stacked cake can have a big impact! This cake is an 8", 6" and 3". Even though it's small it is fully doweled and supported. It's a fun way to have the look of a stacked cake without the size. The trick is the 3" top tier. It's essentially the size of a mega muffin, which could be used here as well. The snowflakes are Candy Melt or White Chocolate, but could easily be done in Royal Icing as well. Tiny Stacked Cakes are the new trend and are fun and easy as long as you know the basic rules of making a stacked cake. In this video I show a review of the basics for stacking and doweling a cake as well as how to create this design.

Wedding Barbie Doll Cake- Cake Decorating- Buttercream- Video

I wanted to design a Barbie Cake With a Mermaid Style Skirt. It took some time to figure out that I could just decorate the Barbies Body and use a small cake for the ruffled bottom of the skirt. I used Leah's smoothing technique to get a slim smooth dress. There are a million dress designs that want to make! I don't really have any little girls or Bridal showers to make it for and one Bride Barbie Video is enough. so for now I'll just have to dream about them :)

The accessories are also candy melt. Easy for kids to make as they are just dots for eyes and buttons and a carrot shape for the nose. The scarf is strips of sour gummy candy.

Elegant Reindeer Christmas- Cake Decorating- Buttercream

White and Blue add such a soft Wintery look. I just love a winter celebration cake. With White And Blue And Reindeer this design can take you right through New Year.

.
The Piping Technique on this cake is called "over piping" and is a salute to the Lameth Method, indicated by many many layers of piped borders. Many combination of borders are a hallmark of this style. It's time consuming, but well worth the effort.

The Reindeer are made with Candy Melt, but could easily be made with Royal Icing as well. The Candy Melt is a quick and easy way to use this technique and yummy as well!

See how to make each step of this design here:

Zombie Barbie Doll Cake- Cake Decorating- Tutorial

Learn how to make a quick and fun Zombie Barbie In this fun                                                   Tutorial Video

http://youtu.be/3-GliJ57qrA
More fun with Barbie! Even though I am not really a big Zombie fan, I thought this would be a lot of fun and it was! I wanted it to look like Barbie was coming up out of a graveyard . I used a quick icer tip with a bag striped with green and brown. I created ledges with it to place the tombstones in. The Tombstones are made of royal icing. I used some crushed Oreo for the dirt and coconut for the grass.

I used a "Ken" shirt and cut it up and burnt parts of it. Then I used some food coloring to "dirty" it further.

I "zombied" her face with some eyeliner and red food coloring. Her hair is full of eye shadow, food coloring and hairspray. It was a fun experiment and my zombie fans love it:)
