8th Birthday Cake


This was a cake done for my daughter's 8th birthday. She is such a sweet girl. I showed her a picture of a cake with a fondant bow with the curly ribbons on it and she looked at the cake and said she liked it but it was okay if I could not make the bow and stuff. So I had to prove to her that I could do it! This cake is a double layered 10 inch square on the bottom, the middle layer was two 8 inch rounds and the top a 6 inch round. The bottom two layers are pound cake filled with bavarian cream. The top layer is a banana cake. The entire cake is iced in buttercream with fondant accents. The brown accents were chocolate. It was nice to have than hint of chocolate!

The King's Academy cake

My kids go to a school called The King's Academy. It is a wonderful school and deserves a plug on my blog. They have allowed me to make their birthday cakes this year. They do them quarterly. And best of all, they let me make whatever I want! So this one made to look like a Happy Birthday napkin that I had. I meant to take a picture of them side by side, but I forgot! If you look closely, you can see it covering the cake plate. This yet another lemon pound cake with lemon curd filling and iced in lemon buttercream.
