Tractor Birthday Cake

After seeing the Bitch Birthday cake, someone asked me, if I could bake a special cake for her kid. So after long talks, what he would like, we choose a tractor.
I really enjoyed building this one, because of all the extras and ideas I got while I build it.

As you know, the foundation is my well known biscuit cak. NO! Wait! This time I had to bake a chocolate cake, because the little kiddo likes chocolate :).
Everthing started with this:
It is a really easy made recipe, when I don't forget, I will put it on here. I cut the cake in two halves. One I covered with butter cream and the other one I used to build the tractor.
Look closer on this picture and you will figure out how I made the wheels of the tractor. I covered the cake, where the tractor should stand with green marshmallow fondant, sure I used food color. I thought only the tractor isn't so cool, so I had the idea to set up a little country style to it.
The final cut came with chocolate for the details, like a license plate, a fence and so on. And as you can see the end result made.the boys heart jump :).

A special Birthday cake...

for one of my collegues. Well, he made a mistake, he told me he "loves" breasts. So he got a very special cake :). 
I should confess, to create this cake was a challenge. What you can't really see on the picture is, that I mold a little guy, whit his head between these breasts. I will never forget his face, when he saw this Birthday cake.
First I used a biscuit cake for the ground. This wasn't the hardest thing.
 

The left picture shows the biscuit and the right one a chocolate cake, which I used to bring the breasts into shape.

 

After cutting out a woman body shape and formed the breasts, I covered it with butter cream. This fondant worked great and tasted delicious, didn't have any troubles to cover the cake with it. Doesn't it look awesome?

I added bra and panties, finished it up with some chocolate and a belly piercing.
And of course the guy which loves to be between breasts :). It broke my heart when he cut the first piece :(.

Dog Birthday Cake

Sometimes you haven't any idea what to give someone for Birthday. A new year started and the Birthdays are coming up. I decided to bake a special cake for my neighbor.

She is a huge dog lover and so I looked up alot of youtube videos, but sadly I'm not a professional, but I didn't so bad.
First I made 3 layers of biscuit (the next time I will try out an American cake, because the biscuit wasn't easy to cut) and cut the body shape of a dog. I put some apricot jam between the layers for better taste and support.


I changed my mind about the legs and so I cut them off and covered the body with butter cream.
 

On the right picture I shaped the legs from the left overs of the biscuit. It was hard work and alot of thinking :).
The Marshmallow fondant gave me a headache. Either it was the food color powder or the different brand of marshmallow I used. Each time I got the right size of fondant it started to break :(. But after long time and alot of patience I won :).
 

It almost looks like a chicken :). The hardest part were the head. I formed the head also using biscuit.
 

Covered with butter cream and fondant.
 

I finished everything up and the result didn't look so bad. I'm pretty sure an artist or professional could have made it much better, but listen! Its made with a lot of love and if you could have seen my neighbors face, you know it didn't matter.
