Little Red Car Chocolate Birthday Cake

This is turning out to be quite the birthday weekend. Here is a cake we made that is simple and full of decadence! Chocolate cake lightly iced in chocolate ganache. We really like the drop effect of the chocolate ganache on the sides. Brian is turning two and really like toy cars, so we made a little red car from fondant as a cake topper.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Sleepover Birthday Cupcakes

A very cool mom asked us to make cupcakes for her son's sleepover party to celebrate his belated birthday. So, we made chocolate cupcakes with two-toned blue vanilla buttercream. As for the decorations? A few of his favourite things! As always, become a fan on our facebook page and see our flickr account for more photos! Our previous cupcake projects can be found on the right side-bar, archived monthly (or scroll down to go to the next page).

We tried a two-toned blue for the frosting since Alex loves colours.
