Watch the Peanuts gang come to life!

Every artist LOVES new toys! I recently treated myself to a new MacBook, and had WAY too much fun making time lapse videos as I hand drew the Peanuts characters for a client's order. People always want to know, "How did you do that?" This is how: I cut out the pieces of fondant using 2 cookie cutters and the rest were modified from those cutters or hand-cut. Next, I have some fun with my edible ink markers drawing in the details and color.

Apologies in advance, this is a LOT about one cake...but I was having so much fun! I should be frosting the cake at this point, but instead I pulled out my easel and made a video of the assembly too! Time lapse videos make me feel like I'm working so fast!

Thanks for watching! Do you enjoy production videos like this? I welcome your feedback!

Double Train Birthday Cake

All aboard! This buttercream birthday cake was for a true fan of trains, who wanted both a metro link and an amtrak train on his cake. The terrain was piped on with vanilla and chocolate icing. The sign andthe number "4" on top were molded out of chocolate.

Both trains were cut out of fondant.

The cake was 2 tiers with 2 cupcakes added to the top.

Sorcerer Mickey Birthday Cake

I thought this was a cute and unique idea for a Mickey Mouse themed cake. The "Sorcerer Mickey" cake featured 2 tall tiers of cake and bright colored fondant. The hat was built with layers of cake and a cupcake in the tippy top. The ears were molded from fondant. And the yellow details really pop against the black and the bright blue and red.
