Two Vegan Cakes in a Row

I was asked by two different people to make vegan cakes for their children's birthday parties.  Vegan cakes are more challenging to make because they fall apart so much more easily than cakes with eggs in them.  The Curious George Cake also had to be gluten-free--which also makes it more likely to crumble.  Anyway, they both turned out fine, depite my stressing that they would fall to bits!  The Curious George Cake was a 9x13 and the Carnival Cake was a half sheet.

Flowers for Mother

This cake was made for a birthday for a mother.  They wanted something simple, but beautiful.  These orange/red flowers were actually a little brighter than it shows up here.  Once again they were very happy with the finished product!  It was fun because I enjoy making gum paste flowers.  They are so delicate and beautiful.

Patriotic Birthday Cake

This cake wasn't actually meant to be a patriotic cake!  The person that ordered it asked for stars and confetti in red and blue, and wanted something for a New Years Eve birthday party.  Even though this was a New Year's cake, it could very easily be a cake for a patriotic holiday or for a serviceman.  This was a our Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with a Chocolate Ganache Filling with Classic Buttercream Frosting.  The confetti and stars are made of edible gum paste/fondant.

Christmas Present Cake

This cake was made for two people who had birthdays right around Christmastime.  They requested a Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Peppermint Ganache.  This cake was made vegan because one of the people this cake was made for is vegan.  After tasting it, they were very surprised this cake was vegan because it had a great taste and texture.  It is iced in Buttercream Frosting and has gum paste/fondant details.
