My husband collects slinkies so this was the perfect cake for him. But it’d also be good with some “retro” toys around it for someone born during its heyday. It was actually pretty simple to make. I baked a regular cake recipe in a bundt pan. Then cut the cake in half to make two … Read more
I saw the emblems on this site and thought I’d give it a try to make a Transformers cake. The emblems and letters are made of fondant and then painted with food coloring.

I would also recommend making the frosting ahead of time and store them in disposable plastic containers so you can throw … Read more
My son was into Baby Einstein and I wanted to have something different for his first Birthday. I couldn’t at the time find anything online that was more than a flat cake with a drawing on top. So I made this Baby Einstein 1st birthday cake. I could have used the Wilton mini ball pan, … Read more

Heres another Baby Einstein Caterpillar cake to add to the wonderful cake gallery. We used the Wilton’s half dome cake pans.

Box 1: Chocolate-split in half by pouring mix into two 9×13 pans. Box 2: yellow cake- for yellow and blue … Read more
