Heinz Ketchup Bottle

For those of you who know me well, you know I love ketchup on pretty much anything haha.  So when I got a request for a cake decorated like a Heinz ketchup bottle for a coworker's birthday, I barely needed to have on in front of me as a model.  The extra request was that it looked like ketch up on the inside as well, so it either had to be red velvet cake or I would have to dye a yellow cake red.  The customer left it up to me.  I decided on a red velvet cake, here it is with only the label and lid decorated on.  Hard to tell the red isn't frosted on yet if you didn't know.

And here's the finished product.

I think the writing could have been a little more straight, but I was happy with the end product and so was the customer.

Spiderman Birthday!

So this is finally something new to post.  Even though the last two posts were just put up, they weren't really anything new.  I had the request for a Spiderman birthday cake for a little boy turning 4.  And I just happen to have a friend that had a Wilton Spiderman pan she was willing to lend me.  I think I could have handled spiderman on a sheet cake, but the shaped pan just makes it look that much better for a little boy.  The pan was a little smaller than I planned on, so I made some cupcakes to go with it with the leftover batter.

A Disney Princess

I'm glad I decided to buy that castle cake pan a couple months ago, as it has already been used again.  This time a little girl was planning to have a Disney Princess birthday party, so I made her the princess castle cake and I was able to find some Disney Princess figurines.  The party theme ended up changing a little, so we didn't use the figurines, but at least now I have them if there happens to be another Disney Princess party in the future that I do a cake for.
