My Little Pony Cake

Being a child of the 80's, I grew up watching awesome Saturday morning cartoons like Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite. So I was super excited to make this My Little Pony cake for my niece's 13th birthday. Of course, My Little Pony has changed a bit from when I was younger, but it was still fun to sing the old themesong to myself while I made this special cake.

Minnesota Themed Cake

I had a request last week from a friend to make a Minnesota-themed cake for his buddy who was visiting from California. Loons are the official state bird of Minnesota, so I thought it was fitting to make the cake have a loon on it. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. 

Trade Secret: the water looks semi realistic... There is this awesome product called clear piping gel (it also comes in colors, but I prefer using the clear), and when it is spread over blue-colored frosting, it looks like water.
