Hop Up! Jump In! Part II











I had so much fun making this second Handy Manny cake! After celebrating her birthday at home when snow cancelled her party, the five year old young lady I made this cake for finally had her party! In addition to the change in size, I added Flicker (he is my new favorite!) as well as more personalization to this second version.

Simply Valentine's

Hop Up! Jump In!
















This Handy Manny cake was inspired by the invitation to a little girl's 5th birthday party. I covered this chocolate cake in buttercream icing and created the characters out of fondant. My favorite character is Turner!

This cake was made for a colleague's daughter. From the pink fondant to the gumpaste orchids, the cake included everything the client loved most.
