After bringing in my Hello Kiitty cake a co-worker contacted me about doing her sons party in May. She also mentioned that the next day was one of her other sons birthdays but that was short notice. Being that I love CAKING and had the night free I said I wasn't closed to the idea of making a cake with less then a 24hr turn around depending on what we were talking about.....We decided on a simple Spiderman cake. I bought a hexagon pan to make his web and a Spiderman action figure to decorate the cake. This was the end result....
Then we started talking about his party that coming weekend. It was a quiet week for me after the craziness that was Easter so I was up for the challenge of a bigger themed cake in 2 days time. She threw out there that her son LOVES Toy Story. Perfect I have never done anything with that theme so the sky is the limit!!!!! I decided Andy's bed would be FUN (and it was). I used a square pan and trimmed it down to make a rectangle. I used a mix of fondant and gum paste to make the headboard and footboard. The cake was crumb coated with buttercream and covered with marshmallow fondant. I also made the pillows out of fondant. The figurines were purchased at a local toy store. Draping and shaping the blanket was fun. I had never worked with fondant in that capacity before. It took a couple tried to get it right, so i guess it's true practice makes perfect! The top sheet is just an accent, it's just a small piece tucked under the top of the blanket. Little green men cupcakes to round out the cake table and it's picture perfect!!!
