Painted Easter Eggs

I don't like doing anything normally and I take every advantage to show my nerd side! Easter is no different in this situation. I start saving up egg shells long long in advance in anticipation for this exciting time!
I haven't done a big lot of eggs since in a few years so I knew I had to ad on the the lovely ones I'd managed to protect all this time!

Throwback to the originals ! Pokemon was a key subject that year along with Angry Birds! Then of course I had a couple of easy randoms like the Jack Skellington, Pumpkin, the Walnut from Plants Vs. Zombies and Toad from Super Mario!

This year I continued with lovely trends of our time (plus a couple continual obsessions)

 In honor of my favorite droids!

My Yoda wasn't exactly what I wanted... He more so looks like a green Stewie Griffin but he's still pretty cute!

 To continue my true love here are some new pokemon eggs! Jolteon!

And of course Eevee! Hopefully more evolutions to come.

Olaf was definitely one of my randoms this year, no other eggs to associate with Frozen but he was just so easy I couldn't resist!

Now last but certainly not least! My Doctor eggs! <3 to look like the 10th and 11th doctor <3 these make me happy.

Hopefully more to come before the holiday arrives! And perhaps I'll continue after still I have yet to decide! I definitely enjoy it but I only seem to get excited for them before Easter! 

I'm also open to suggestions for anything else in egg form!

Cheers!

Princess Elsa Birthday Cake

So I've been debating for awhile now to get back into the nicer side of the cake business. I crave those custom orders and being able to put the time into them! Today I finally took on a little project to start updating my skills again!

I set up a kijiji ad to try to jump start things, and I ended up talking to a woman about a princess Elsa cake from the popular Disney movie Frozen. Unfortunately I think the price point I gave her was a little too steep and we never made any confirmed plans. However once the thought was in my mind I couldn't stop thinking about it! So for my family's Easter dinner I made her!

Since I was mostly concentrated on the design of the cake, I just used a cake mix to make that part quickly, the cake is way smaller then I would have liked it to be because of this... Oh well she's still pretty cute! If I can get a couple of orders out of this beauty then I will start using my prized cake recipes that I KNOW will make a big full dress for my girls.

The snowflakes were made in advance out of royal icing and left for 2 days to dry.

Also the other white accents were made from royal icing but they were done on the spot.

I'm not a huge fan of fondant but I felt like just icing this cake wouldn't do it justice! So I sucked it up and found 2 different shades of blue and made them adorably Frozen like!

Hopefully this will jump start a little bit more cake business and I can showcase even more projects in the future!! To see my older work check out my facebook page! facebook.com/CaeksByNicole
