Second picture of plumeria cake. Top view. Took hours to make all the bamboo and plumeria flowers, but I think it looks great! Cake is lemon pound with a lemon juice and sugar drizzle and rasberry filling. Plain white icing.
I had extra fondant left over from making the three bird cake so I decided to work on a practice medallion. I am only disappointed in the butterfly because I don't think it is loose enough. I think I was a bit too controlling for that. Otherwise, it was a nice practice session.
This is the second picture of the three birds to which, I added a tree branch with yellow flowers. All was rendered by hand with liquid food coloring on fondant.
This cake is was not rendered as I would have liked. I had extra frosting, so I goofed off and did a crazy pattern on the side just to see what it would look like. I do not like the blue edging as much as the red. It depicts three sum-E style goldfish swimming in the water near lotus flowers. The lotus flower was painted with thinned blackberry jelly, hence the texture (which I wasn't anticipating). The cake was for my 2 year old daughter's birthday.
Hand painted cake of an argus pheasant. I kept the food coloring very runny to get the watercolor look. I highlighted with colored frosting of blue, yellow, and white. I did green frosting for the shrubbery around the pheasant.
View of the chinese bird cake that is hand painted with food coloring. The picture is of a sparrow on a branch surrounded by red and white flowers. Everything is painted except the white flowers, which are piped with wihte frosting. The image is surrounded by a red band. This is not the finished piece, which had piped white dots in the red band and a black finishing band after the red.
