Shamrock "Special Occasion" Cake - My first "Wedding Cake"
Bottom cake is a 2 layer 16 inch square Basic Pound Cake w/ an eclair type filling (Vanilla Pudding w/ Cool Whip).
The top is the Wilton's Shamrock Cake pan. I made Devil's Food cake with Chocolate Chips.
Both cakes are iced with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
Not really happy with my icing, had a hard time "covering up" the Chocolate underneath. Everytime I try to smooth out the icing it reveals other spots. Not sure if it's just me or if it's the icing. I tend to notice that Cream Cheese has a tendency to have a "melting effect" and not really easy to work with. Guess I need more practice!! :D
Made the cake for a friend of a friend's wedding. I guess the Bride didn't want a traditional Wedding Cake and needed something to have the ceremonial cutting of the cake. So this is what we came up with.
We weighed the cake and it came out to 31 lbs. Yikes!! :D

Fairly Odd Parents
Made this for my daughter's 6th Birthday.
Used a Fairly Odd Parents Cake pan made by Wilton. Got the pan at Micheal's for $1.00 :). B
But let me tell you, couldn't really see the indentations on the cake. Thought I couldn't do it! But as usual, it came out nice. If I do say so myself!! :D Hehehe
I used Pillsbury Funfetti Cake and again used Buttercream Icing.

Test cake for Carousel Cake
Made this cake yesterday. A "test" cake for my nephew's Bday at the end of the month.
The theme will be the circus. Will need to make the cake higher, so that I can fit some carousel horses around the cake.
But other than that, it wasn't hard! :D
This is the cake that I am basing the above cake. Will end up making some Carousel Horses cookies and placing it around the cake. Hope it all works out!!!
