In the night garden decorated cake ideas Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs

In the night garden is very popular – not that I understand any of it!! so it is not surprising Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka are also popular when it comes to birthday cakes. These are a few fondant cakes I have made recently – I hope you find them useful when designing your own cakes.

Confirmation, First Holy Communion Cake Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs

This is the communion cake I was talking about when I made the pink, blossoms communion cake post. This cake was actually for a combination Confirmation and First Holy Communion celebration. It was also for a boy and the green colours were inspired by the handmade invitation. Silver was added to match the silver cross which was also used on the invitation.

It was decided stars would be a nice addition as it was for Thomas and they have been used around the base of the cake some on the top and the dove has been embossed with stars.

I love the simplicity of these two communion cake designs. I think small hearts could also be used and of course any colour combination. I think it could also look amazing in white on white with maybe gold or silver detail if you wanted some colour.

Elmo Cake Designs Inspired by Michelle

Well I have to say I had not realised just how popular Elmo was for birthday cake designs. Since I put my Elmo Cake Topper post up all I have heard about is Elmo so I have put some of the cakes I have done together in this cake gallery.

They are simple and have great bright colours which young children really respond to. Of the two face cakes of Elmo one is smooth and the other has been made shaggy. The other thing which I should mention is the coloured balls around the base of some of the cakes. They can be all the same size or change from large to small – but the reason for the mention is that this is the first thing the children go for they just love them and most of the time they are just happy to have the balls then wait for the cake to be cut!

Lego 6th Birthday Cake with Cheeky Monkey – Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs

This is my favourite cake for June and I have to admit it is purely because I made it for my amazing nephew Jasper’s 6th birthday.

Jasper is a master at constructing lego so I started with a simple lego block and then added the cheeky monkey from the birthday card I bought for him.

Happy Birthday Jasper!

Blue decorated cakes Inspired by Michelle Cake Designs

blue decorated cake ideas inspired by michelle cake designs

Blue comes in so many shades it is best to ask for a sample to match if your client is asking for a specific colour. These are just some of the cakes I have made in blue.

As you can see the most popular cakes I make in blue are christening cakes for little boys. Then the next most popular would be designs in the famous tiffany blue which I think is my favourite blue colour.

I have also put collages together for pink, purple, red and black & white cakes.

This is the first of two collages of cake toppers that I have been asked to make for cakes. They are made out of sugarpaste or fondant with tylose mixed in to give the fondant strength. The photos here should be easier to see than the smaller pictures of the finished cakes on my site http://www.inspiredbymichelle.com.au

Mini Cooper 4th Birthday Cake

I can not help myself but show the cake I made for my nephew Cooper’s 4th birthday.

The party had a car theme and the cake matched the logo my sister designed for the party decorations.

Cooper just loves cars and loves that there is a car with his name so of course the cake had to be a mini cooper!

It really was a wonderful party for a wonderful little boy.

Teddy Bear cake decorating ideas Inspired By Michelle Cake Designs

Beautiful baby teddy bears decorate all these cakes. I make smooth bears and a shaggy version and they can come in any colour combination you wish. Some of the christening or baptism cakes also include a little crystal cross on one of the bears paws. Like the jungle animals if you carefully remove the bears they can be kept as a memento of the day. Fondant bears are not only for baby’s cakes the image with the two shaggy bears was for a 25th wedding anniversary.

This is the link http://inspired-by-chocolate-and-cakes.com/inspired-by-michelle-YouTube.html and look for the How to make a shaggy fondant teddy bear video.

Jungle cake decorating ideas

Today I’m adding another couple of cake collages. The first one is some of my jungle cake designs. This has to be the most popular theme for christening and first birthdays for little boys. But I have also included a picture for a little girls theme as well. All the animals are made out of fondant and if carefully removed can be kept as a memento.

The animals can be made ahead of time but I would suggest if the monkey is going to sit on the side of the cake then add his legs and tail on the cake as you will get a better fit. Having said that my timing and work load usually means I’m making the animals fresh in position on the cake!!
