Joshua's Icing Smiles Cake

We also put spotlights on a 3d number 10 for fun! We are part of the non-profit organization of Icing Smiles (http://icingsmiles.org). I am proud to say I can be apart of such an incredible giving organization. Please check them out! : D

Irish Ed

This cake was for a surprise 70th birthday party for a gentleman named Ed. He is a true lover of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, and Chicago Bears. He also is an avid collector of bowling balls. The challange was to incorporate all his passions into one cake. I think we did it. We made each team's logo badge and placed them around the bottom tier, and dedicated the top teir to Notre Dame. We airburshed the top with metallic gold and placed bowling balls all around. Little Ed was decked out in his Irish gear. Tremendous fun to create this cake!
