Are You Ready Kids? Aye Aye Captain...

This cake was for a 3 year-old who loves Spongebob! IT was white cake with buttercream frosting. The Spongebob top is a candle. I couldn't find any other figures for the cake, so I hand-painted the other characters on marshmellow fondant and added gold Spongebob chocolate coins and gummy crabby patties.

Alabama Roll Tide

This cake was for a man that loves Alabama. A simple 6" 2-layer white cake with buttercream frosting. The logo is a frozen buttercream transfer. I am very happy with the way this turned out.

Go Vikings!

A football for a Vikings fan! This is a white cake with chocolate ganache frosting. The thick stripes on the end are marshmellow fondant and the rest is buttercream.

Hello Kitty

This cake was for a Hello Kitty lover. Red velvet cake with a white cake heart in the middle and buttercream frosting. The Kitty face, bow, and hearts are marshmellow fondant.

May the Force Be With You

A Star Wars-themed birthday party for my son who turned 5. It was chocolate and red velvet cake with buttercream frosting and fondant hand-painted flames. The figures were purchased at Toys R Us here on island. He loved it!

Aloha!

This is my favorite cake so far. I was asked to make a cake for a Hawaiian themed birthday party. This is one of the ideas that I came up with that the birthday girl liked. It is Devil's Food cake with buttercream frosting. The Hibiscus flowers, Palm Tree leaves and the waves are marshmellow fondant. The tree trunks are pretzel rods and the Hula Girl and Boy are Polly Pockets that the mom provided me with. This cake serves from 30 to 35 people. The birthday girl really liked it and I am very proud to say that I made this cake!

Slice of cake 2

I had a last-minute request to make a cake for a lady's birthday. She wanted a cake similar to the "Slice of Cake" picture with similar colors. I didn't want to make it exactly the same, so I added the flowers rather than frogs and I like the way it turned out. This one is silver-white cake with strawberry filling and buttercream frosting with fudge accents.

lots and lots of chocolate

I made this cake for a friend that LOVES chocolate while I was in the states. It is devil's food cake baked in an 8" round pan with chocolate mousse filling in the shape of heart (inside) and chocolate ganache for the frosting. The roses are made from royal icing and the of course, chocolate covered strawberries.

Little mermaid sheet cake

This cake is silver-white with cream cheese frosting. I was given a picture to go by for the design and that is exactly how she wanted it. It is 2 layers filled with raspberry and serves 60 people.

Turtle shell

The party theme was Ninja Turtles and I was asked to make a turtle shell. For this one, I used Marshmellow Fondant and buttercream frosting for the filling. I tried to use the same colors as the Ninja Turtle shells to make it look as much like them as possible. This cake served 40 to 45 poeple and was about 6 thin layers, maybe 7. Hope you like it!

Little Mermaid on a Rock

This is a marble cake with cream cheese frosting. The doll is from the little girl that this cake was for and served 20 to 25 people. She wanted a cake that included a mermaid, flowers, and butterflies, so I did my best to incorporate all 3. The butterflies and her name were made with candy metls.

I made this cake while in the states for a 5 year-old's birthday. I tried to copy the actual Hannah Montana guitar as best as I could. It is all buttercream frosting. Single layer that fed about 20 people. She loved it and I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I will be back in Okinawa ready for more orders at the end of October. Email me and we can plan your next occassion!

Air Force

This is a cake for a promotion party. Silver-white cake and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Serves 40. At first I though this cake was going to be really easy. Then when I started thinking about how I was going to cut it to shape, I realized how perfect the Air Force symbol is and I actually needed to plan. So, the hardest part was making the cardboard template to use to cut the cake and draw the star. I am very happy with the way this cake turned out.

All Aboard!

This was my first attempt at a 3D style train. It was a great learning experience. The whole cake is covered in buttercream. The wheels are chocolate covered mint Oreos. The chains are pipe cleaners, and the smoke stack ball is softened starburst molded in to a ball. The rest is cake. The boy whos birthday this is for, likes trains and dinos. So, I tried to include both. Enjoy!

Take-Off!

This is a "smash cake" for a boy's first birthday. Lemon with buttercream and cream cheese frosting. Made with a loaf cake pan. Simple, but I think he liked it, and he gets a toy to play with when he is done.

Airplane

This is a chocolate cake with crusting buttercream. So far, this is the most diffcult and time-consuming cake I have ever made. I was really nervous about it and sooo afraid the family wouldn't like it, but it was hit. More importantly, Jake (3) liked it a lot. The plane is 5 seperate pieces, crumb coated, frozen, then piped frosting on and smoothed with a hot spatula. And the red and blue on the plane is the new Wilton sparkle jels. I got them at Crafty Things on Kadena AB.

Ladybug

A ladybug cake for a first birthday. The idea was inspired from a magazine picture. I really enjoyed making this cake. Homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting (YUMMM!). The dots are mini York patties and the head is a regular York patty.

Basketball

This one was intimidating, but I am happy with the outcome aside from the crooked line. It is yellow cake and buttercream frosting. I used 2-8" cakes and 1-6" cake for the net and shaved some scraps off and for the ball I used the Wilton wonder mold pan for dolls and shaved a little off. It was easier to see how much I should have cut off of the ball after I frosted it. Now I know. The ball was a first for me.

Slice of Cake

This is a cake for a friend of mine. She likes green and she likes frogs. It is a silver-white cake with strawberry cream filling and whipped cream frosting. The blue squiggly lines are candy melts and the dark brown dots and details are chocolate ganache. The cool thing about this cake is that it works with any theme and any occassion.

For frosting: Fondant, buttercream, ganache, boiled, whipped cream, cream cheese, melted candy. And most can be flavored.

I hope that just about covers it. If you want a cake and are unsure of all the details, I can help with that too. Just let me know. And the prices are all dependent upon size and cost of materials.

So, if you would like a cake, think about all of the things you want and email me or call...633-8161 the4bizjaks@hotmail.com

Kung Fu Panda

This was my first time making a Kung Fu Panda cake. It was for an adult, so I wanted to try and make Po edible. He is a sugar cookie. If it were for a kid, I would have used a toy intstead. My original idea was to make the cake to resemble the Jade Palace, but that would have made the cake HUGE and the request was for a medium-sized cake, so this is what I ended up with. Any comments or suggestions would be great.

Western style wedding cakes

I have had a few questions about Western-style (American) wedding cakes. I CAN do wedding cakes. From fondant to buttercream. Big to small. Just let me know what you need and I can make it for you. You can design your own or I can help and come up with some ideas with you. The options are endless. For wedding cakes, I will need 60 day advance notice (to order supplies, since our selection here is SOOO small) and a 25% deposit to cover supplies. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will try and post some pictures of wedding cakes to give you an idea of what I can do. Thank you for your support!

Flowers

This cake was for a friend of mine's birthday. I wanted to make it a little girly and kind of simple. She liked it.
