If I was 7 again I would love that castle cake!!!
These are all wonderful! Such a timely post as I just blogged about a party for my son where I attempted to make the cake. It was a bit of an embarrassment, to say the least.
*Maybe* after seeing this, I’ll try again.
What Beautiful Cakes ! I think i might have to make the purse one for my birthday !
These are amazing! I am going to have to try that train cake. My son’s birthday is nearing and he is obsessed with all kinds of trains. This will be a HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing.
WOW, what great cakes!!! I love the french fries!
These look absolutely amazing! Thanks for the step by step decorating ideas, I can just see kids going nuts over cakes like these coming out at a party.
Very creative! I like your use of the marshmallows for the flowers. Keep up the great posts…chefRob
This is cool, but I can’t imagine that the chow mein noodles in the lion one would make the cake taste very good.
I was so inspired by this article that I created a promotion on my blog featuring invitations that match the cakes. We are giving away a set of 20 custom printed invitations to the lucky winner who posts their favorite combo on our facebook page. http://www.salutations.com/inspirations-newsletter/
