University of Texas Tower Cake

One of my really good friends, John, asked me if I would make a graduation cake for him. First, I love making cakes for other people. Second, it was my friend John asking so I had to say yes. Next, he says "and the tower could be made of rice crispy and covered in fondant and we could just eat the base." I quickly knocked down that idea and told him I would just make a tower that was laying down. 

For those of you who do not know what "The Tower" is, here is a picture for reference:

John and his family were really excited about the cake when I brought it to his party!

A Very Happy Graduate

Texas Football Cupcakes!

It's football season! So, you know what that means, Football Cupcakes! These cupcakes turned out absolutely adorable and they really did not take that much time at all!

I used a regular boxed cake mix, but I dyed half of the batter orange, and layered to two batters to give the cakes a little marble look. I used rolled out colored fondant to make the footballs, helmets, and the flags!

For the grass I used a  Wilton #233 tip. It really gives the icing a realistic grass look.

The best thing about them.... You could make them into a whole football field!!
