For daughter's 7th b-day - 1st time using printed icing sheets to decorate. Easy and handy when in a time crunch. She wanted something "funky & fun" so she came up with this. Made the beaded #7 for the topper.
This is a sweet 16 birthday cake. My friend (the mom of the b-day girl) collaborated on this one and we had great fun! She had cut all the music notes - even the treble clef. She is an amazing artist/muralist. Buttercream with fondant accents.
Mini cupcakes for a spring bridal shower. The paper you see in the back was used by the client to make wrappers for the cuppies, thus the inspiration for the colors. Unfortunately I don't have a final display pic from the venue.
Made this for my nephew's 1st b-day. All buttercream with fondant accents - everything is edible except for the fire hydrant, dalmation dog and boots which were candles. The firetruck was all chocolate made from a 3-D mold. I used crushed oreos on the top of the bottom layer to make it look like a roof. I cheated on the fire hat and covered a mini plastic hat with fondant - it was a last minute addition that I think really helped set off the cake.
This was done for a 1st birthday party - at the last minute I received a copy of the invite that had a cupcake at the top and since I had some extra batter decided to make a jumbo cupcake as the topper. Chocolate buttercream with fondant accents. 8'square and 6'inch round - smash cake was also 6' round.
This was for my niece's 3rd b-day - she couldn't decide on what flavor she wanted so being the good aunt that I am I made her choc, strawberry and vanilla so she didn't have to choose. She also wanted butterflies - which she has had for every b-day party - so this was a way to switch it up a bit using the brown and pink. This was a 10', 8' and 6'.
This was for a 1st birthday to match the hat. I decided at the last minute to do the FBCT for the #1. This is a 6' smash cake for the birthday boy and then they did a cupcake tower for the guests. Very fun and colorful to do! Thanks for looking!
This was for my daughter's Kindy teacher -we threw her a shower at school with the kids. 10' square, 8' round. 1st time doing a doll dress - used rice krispie treats under the skirt - painted dress w/super pearl dust. There are a few changes I would make to the dress, but I was happy enough for my 1st one. No one noticed the flaws that I did which is always a plus! : ) All of my inspiration came from CC on this one - thanks!
Cake was for a little girls karaoke/rock n' roll party - only requests were that it be pink, purple and have a guitar. This is what we ended up with and she loved it! The flash of the camera washed the colors out a little.
10' square, 6' round with buttercream and fondant accents. The buildings are done in buttercream and the plaques and flying bats are fondant. I was inspired by several cakes here on CC - thanks as always for the ideas!
10' half butter, half white cake with buttercream. Trees are fondant and pretzels, bananas are runts marked with edible marker. I assembled a lot of ideas from here to create this - thank you - and the b-day boy loved his George cake!
10 in square choc. cake with 8 in round butter cake, choc hot fudge buttercream. My friend wanted a rustic fall themed cake similar to one I did last year for another event. Pumpkins, acorns & leaves are fondant and painted with luster dust. The frosting did not hold up well in transport and a quick fix had to be done, but it was still very yummy!
Mickey ears using 9' & 6' pans. My daughter was more focused on Minnie thus the pink dots. Hershey syrup choc frosting and pink buttercream.
10' & 8' purple buttercream w/pink fondant polka dots. Beaded #9 using 20 guage jewelry wire. Strawberry cake and Cakepro's Choc. cake from white cake mix - huge hit! Highly recommend - it's in recipe section.
This was for my daughter's 5th b-day. White cake with buttercream and strawberry cake with cream cheese icing. The 5 and flowers were fondant.
This was a very last minute cake for a cousin's -bay - she went to the cake store to get a Hannah Montana edible image and came back with the Ratatoulle cake pack. I didn't like the look of the cake that came with the pack so since she is a 9-year old girl we 'girled' it up! Notice that Emile took a bite out of the cake on top. Choc/vanilla cake w/oreo filling and buttercream frosting.
This is a close-up of the beaded topper I made for the sweet 16 cake in my photos. I used black jewelry wire for the "16" and silver wire for the background decor. Both wires were 18 guage. I used coffee stirrers for the 1st time to support the topper and it worked great! The "16" was very heavy and it made the delivery with no problems.
8' & 6' white cakes - buttercream w/fondant accents - bottom layer has oreo filling. Black, hot pink, silver. I handmade the beaded topper with various crystal beads using 18 guage jewelry wire. The cake is sitting on a black shadow box and is filled with hot pink satin and self-adhesive rhinestones. The cake was a big hit!
These NFSC were for my daughter's pre-school class last week - they had to bring something that started with the letter F so we took the cookies - Frankenstein for the boys and the bride of Frankenstein for the girls - Took lots of inspiration from the galleries on how to decorate them! Thanks!
12 inch round buttercream with Elmo FBCT - my very first! I wanted Elmo to have fur so I spruced him up with a grass tip. Writing the name in the mirror image was the toughest part of the cake, but it was lots of fun to make!
This is a close-up of the topper of my fall cake - 50/50 fondant leaves, acorns and pumpkin. Attached with royal icing to stand leaves up.
12 , 8, 6 inch fall cake - the top is a dummy cake in fondant w/3 edible images and 50/50 decorations painted w/luster dusts. Middle layer is chocolate spice cake from CC member Zahrah - HUGE hit- and cream cheese icing cornelli lace - Bottom layer has accents to coordinate with frames on top layer and is white almond w/buttercream. I loved making this cake with all of the fall colors and it was a huge hit at the dinner.
These cupcakes coordinate with the Polka dot & daisy baby shower cake in my photos. They are the Scrumptious Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes that are in the recipe section and they are devine - many compliments when I make these. There were 24 mini cupcakes, 12 w/daisies and 12 w/swirls.
Close up of the baby shoes on my polka dot & daisy baby shower cake.
This is a 10' white almond cake w/buttercream and 6' strawberry lemondae cake with lemon cream cheese icing. First time making baby shoes and it was a breeze thanks to Granny's3angels template and help. I made my won template to create the coordinating dress t hat the shoes were begging to have - isn't that how it works? - find the perfect shoes and then find the outfit to match!!! Thanks also to sweet-as-tisse.
This was for a friend's 60th b-day. Top layer was strawberry w/ crusting cream cheese frosting and I give up using this icing for decorating. 2nd cake I couldn't get good coverage with. Also my 1st fondant bow. My 4 year old "helped" with the buttercream decor on the bottom layer.
