my daughter wanted an igloo with fondant polar bears....I convinced her that my skills were better suited for penguins....she agreed, thankfully. Covered in fondant and marshmellows....gumpaste penguins.
My daughter loves dinosaurs-they even fill her doll house. She designed this, and I got carving....she loved it. Tried to make it attacking the candles and a cupcake...made of rice crispies on top, cake bottom-easier to manipulate...
Made for my brother in law who is a fisherman...tried to replicate ......his tattoo-yup, I said it...he has a huge fish tattoo :) Covered board in fondant, and carved to look like wood grain. He loved it.
Ballerina bear cake for my neighbors daughter's dance recital party...
Made for retirement party for a man who owned a coin shop.
all cake...but one tier is a 10" round of styrofoam for added height....fondant/gumpaste decorations...first time w/brush embroidery technique...
All fondant & fondant decorations, silver dragees.....
Firetruck for 3 yr old birthday-was tougher than I thought! I hope it's a hit at the firehouse birthday party it's headed for tomorrow :)...thanks for looking
fondant roses in gold as per request...I hope the "birthday girl" likes it!! Sponged on brown coloring for leather look-looks nicer in person, I think...
Cake for my dad's deli 25th Anniversary party tomorrow...It's a surprise for him. Hope he likes it! Fries, lettuce, pickles & tomato are all fondant/gumpaste
princess theme...Belle atop a castle wall w/fondant rocks & frogs (thanks for the how-to tuggy!!) & little mushrooms...the customer let me surprise her-I hope she likes it tomorrow! It's for her daughter's first birthday party.
cake for my daughter's baptism...I did another cake for the same day-a cinderella, so I didn't do anything too fancy b/c I ran out of time! Pecan butter cake w/mocha mascarpone cream filling & mocha BC...tasted Really good!!!
Cinderella ake for my daughter's second birthday
A HS grad cake-colors were burgendy & silver. Got great inspriation from this site!! The graduate was involved w/cheerleading, NHS & softball.....hope they like it! I'm 8 mos prego, & writing on the cake proved interesting b/c my belly was in the way-wasn't planning on that!!
Butter cake covered in BC w/BC transfer of karate girl (got the idea from another great cake I saw on the site). I think it was her 12th birthday...hope she likes it :)
Butter cake filled w/strawberry preserves, covered in BC. Mimiced the bedding chosen from Pottery Barn for the nursery-my friend doesn't know that this is part of her gift...a big part...ha! So I think she'll be surprised :) Tried to represent each part of it a tier at a time...
Didn't turn out as I had hoped, but my 3 year old went nuts over it for her pony/carousel themed birthday party. I wanted to do a fondant "big top' on the top of the cake for the carousel look, but Taylor insisted on cupcakes....she's the boss! worked out that each child had a cupcake & the parents devoured the cake. Bottom cake is a dummy.
covered in BC, then fondant, filled w/mocha bc icing. Gumpaste/fondant pointsettia & I used pomegranate "seeds" as the seeds in the flower & along the rim of the cake at base area. They looked like little gems-try it! I made this in nov...I've been slacking uploading pics...
birthday cake for a neighbors little boy who turned 2. There's a little fly on his tongue :)
Made for my youngest daughter's 1st birthday few weeks ago...pooh had a mishap, hence the "log" I have to make in front of him....batter leaked out...still looks ok, I think..Piglet was the mini stand-up bear pan carved a bit...I think I'll do it differently next time, but it was her smash cake, so I didn't dwell on it!
horse cake piped w/BC ...used a CK pan-pantastic..was skeptical, but ti turned out fine :)
this si my copycat cake of so many beautiful 'popcorn' cakes on the site! I mase butter cakes, torted w/choc mocha buttercream, covered in fondant...all 'accessories' are fondant too. Had trouble w/covering cake in fondant, so I fluted the 'container'..I always get ripples in my fondant on the sides...any suggestions? Am I rolling too much out? It drives me nuts..
A HUGE thank you to Jelena for the how-to on making the wings on my "Fairy babies"!! I couldn't have thought that one up on my own! First time trying the butterflies fromt the how-to on the site-really simple!! Turned out great-my client is going to flip. I am really happy w/how this turned out..usually I find something not to like, but I am thrilled w/this one. Bottom tier (in green) is a dummy-the pink layers are cake :)
