Julian's Cakes!

For Julian

Lauren, a longtime friend of the family hired me through my facebook album to make her son three cakes for his birthday! He was turning two years old and he was having three parties, all different themes. This was a fun one but also a tough one. Julian is allergic to eggs and milk so each cake had to be part vegan, part regular. Many details!

# 1 Eric Carle Cake

This was to be an interpretation from the author Eric Carle's two children's books "Brown bear, brown bears, what do you see?" & "Polar bear, polar bear, what do you hear?" -- including the stripes and colors from his other books.

Cake: VEGAN vanilla cake, regular vanilla cake, vegan vanilla frosting, regular vanilla buttercream frosting

Details: White, blue, black, chocolate fondant. Rice Krispies (bears) Berry, apricot, strawberry & green apple sour stripes, chocolate chips & melted jolly rancher layer on top.

Legos (lego candy)
His scooter (blue fondant, one candy cigarette, one Good n' Plenty, Black Crow gummies)

Cupcakes! (a cupcake)

His elephant neck pillow (fondant)

His Ipad (fondant, vanilla icing)

"Wheels on the Bus" song. (rice krispies, mini-oreos, fondant)

The weekend after Julian's birthday, his parents took him out to go see a play based on a popular children's book called "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type"

This is what we came up with for the cake:

Cake: VEGAN vanilla cake & regular vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream

Details: Black, white, red fondant. Red piping icing. And three non-edible, plastic toys.
