Giraffe Print Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my younger sister's 19th birthday and it turned out so cute! It is red velvet cake covered with white fondant, then chocolate fondant patches and an aqua colored "e" for Emily! It was a random request, but the giraffe was actually pretty darn cute. :)

Strawberry Soaked Birthday Cake

 One of my most popular cakes around home is Strawberry-Soaked birthday cake. It is not fancy, but my family has seen enough wedding cakes, and they really just want something unbelievably decadent and delicious-- and this is it. It has to stay in the pan (since it is soaked in strawberry sauce and features a very creamy frosting), so I have to find more creative ways to decorate....

My friend Nichole loves my Strawberry-Soaked birthday cake, and she wanted it for her son Tripp's 2nd birthday. It is vanilla cake that is soaked in strawberry sauce, and then frosted with a whipped vanilla pudding mixture, so this is what we did with it. This is fruit leather that is cute into the shape of a tractor. The leather sort of melts into a yummy gel that keeps its shape on top of the cake. Delicious and cute!
