Ninjago Cake
I don’t have a ton of pictures of this one, because honestly it was just four round cakes layered and covered. The lego eyes were pretty fun though.
Superhero Cake
One of my favorite cakes, partly because it was surprisingly easy and partly because the customers were so pleased, was the Superhero Cake from the boys’ birthday in 2018. By far the most fun part was making the Hulk Fist. So, of course I did that first. Also, I wasn’t sure if I would …

Sprinkle and Mortar Board Graduation Hat
I had a lot of fun making this cake for Lynn and Jed’s graduation. Lynn requested lemon blueberry, so I found this awesome recipe online:http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/02/09/lemon-blueberry-layer-cake/ I pretty much always love anything that cake blogger does, so I knew we’d be good. I went with an old standby gluten free chocolate cake for the top …
