Gymnastics Cakes

Happy 8th Birthday Cupcake #1! May 2008

Cupcake #1 took gymnastics for 2 years at a local gymnastics center and she really enjoyed her time there. So for her 8th birthday we had a gymnastics party complete with a 2 gymnastic cakes. The cake above was made with two 9x13 sheet cakes and I stacked the cakes. I then cut a square in the top cake to make the "pit". The pit has big, blue, foam, square pieces that the children jump into after swinging from a rope. So our pit is made with blue dyed miniature marshmallows with pretzel rods attached with chewy orange slice sugar candy and a Twizzler rope. Jumping into the blue foam in the pit is always a favorite at gymnastics!

Gymnastics Unlimited Cake #2

This was a Hershey cake that I have made alot and decorated in so many different ways over the years. The Hershey cake is delicious and very sweet! This cake has the blue floor mat with the white lines drawn. The rings are life saver candies tied with Twizzler rope which is tied to pretzel rods. The parallel bars are "glued" together with peanut butter. The Kit Kat balance beam is resting on 2 miniature marshmallows.
