Buzz Lightyear Cake

My son wanted a Buzz cake for his 3rd birthday. I wanted to do something other than a stacked cake so I went with a spaceship. My son secretly got into his cake before I got them decorated so I couldn't make the rocket as tall as I wanted but it still worked out. I tried to create a Mars or Pluto type surface for the cake board. Buzz took a few days and he was a lot of separate pieces. There were things I wanted to go back and do over but I just ran out of time. Overall I think my son was pretty excited about it.

Red Purse

I have been wanting to try a purse cake for a while so I was happy when I had a teenage girl up for about anything for her cake (as long as it was not chocolate). It took me a few tries to figure out the best way to cover the cake and I found out the red store bought fondant dries out pretty fast. I also had some drama with the handle when I broke the one I had made the week before. I would not recommend making a purse handle the night before you need to use it. Overall, I was happy with how it turned out and loved the white flower on it.
