Our local county fair is finishing up tomorrow. One of my favorite things to check out is the cake decorating competition. I always think I’m going to enter myself, but I never do. There are always some fabulous cakes entered. Some of my favorites this year were the in the baby shower category.

My favorite baby shower theme cake was this one with all of it’s details and adorable fondant baby blanket.

Like I mentioned earlier, my son wanted a Guitar Hero cake for his birthday party this year. So we had a Guitar Hero/bowling party. What a combination. I wasn’t sure I could make a guitar cake, but in the end it turned out fairly well.
I used a combination of butter cream icing and fondant to decorate the cake. I posted the complete instructions for making a Guitar Hero cake at Kid’s Fun Reviewed.

My son’s birthday is coming up, and he wants a guitar hero birthday party with all his friends, and a guitar cake. So I’ve been on a mission the last few days to find a guitar cake idea that I think I can actually make.

What have I been doing for the last three days? Making this bear and bee cake for a baby shower I went to today. I baked the cakes on Friday night, did most of the decorating yesterday, with help from my sister, and finished up the decorating this morning.
