Construction Site Birthday Cake

This was a fun cake to make! It's a birthday cake for twin 2-year-old boys. They wanted the cake to look like a construction site with trucks and dirt and rocks. I found the cutest edible Legos and couldn't resist constructing a building! The rocks are edible chocolate pieces, and the dirt is crushed up Oreos. One of the twins has food allergies, so this is an egg-free chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It's moist and decadent and yummy, even without the eggs!

Since the boys are young, I made them each a 4-inch round cake to enjoy with their name and a truck on top!

Polka Dot Baby Shower Cakes


These baby shower cakes for little "Lochlan" are vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Each cake has a fondant circle with baby boy's initial. The shower invitation had multi-colored polka dots in blues/browns, so these matched perfectly!
