I made this for a birthday party. I suck at buttercream, but that is what what requested. The cake is devil's food and the circles and balls on top are fondant with lustre dust painted on.
I made this for my stepdad's 50th Birthday (at my mom's request). He loved it. It is devil's food cake, iced in buttercream and covered with fondant (the flesh part is Wilton, the red is Satin Ice). I used buttercream for accents and edible pearls.
I made this cake for my office's Christmas party. 3 layer chocolate cake, filled with chocolate mousse and frosted in chocolate icing.
I made this for my office's birthday celebration. It was my birthday month, and I collect bees, so that's why I chose this. Everything is buttercream, except the bees and flowers, which are fondant with BC accents. I used the Pampered Chef small batter bowl to bake the beehive in.
This was the cake I made for my mom's birthday. Her name is Beth, so that's why there is a B on top.
I made this cake for a coworker who was leaving for a new job. She loves ladybugs. The top layer is a 4" round and the bottom is a 6" round. Double chocolate fudge cake iced in buttercream and covered in fondant. All of the decor is fondant. I used luster dust to paint the ladybugs, flowers and trim.
The cake is marble, iced in buttercream. The brown "paper" and crab mallets are fondant, the crabs are candy melts, the beer cans are candles with the wicks cut off and the mugs are plastic filled with yellow piping gel and topped with buttercream. I made this for my office's August birthday celebration. I was trying to think of something summery, and I'm in Maryland, and nothing is more summery than crabs and beer!
I made this for my brother's 16th birthday. He's huge into soccer. Simple cake. Chocolate cake, buttercream icing.
I made this cake for my office's monthly birthday celebration. The stars are made of candy melts and the small stars have nonparels on them. Vanilla cake with buttercream.
I made this for a coworker's shower. She wanted a square wedding cake but ended up getting a round. So I made a square wedding cake for her shower. Bottom is vanilla cake with raspberry filling, top is lemon cake and lemon filling. Covered in Satin Ice fondant.
I made this for my office's March celebration. I tried to go with an Easter theme that wasn't too Eastery. This is crusing cream cheese icing and carrot cake. The little carrots are hard candy pieces.
Here's the close-up of the babies.
I made this for my coworker's daughter's baby shower. She is having twin boys. The babies are made from fondant. The cake is 1/2 chocolate w/buttercream filling and 1/2 yellow w/strawberry filling.
I made this for a work function and on the way into the building my husband DROPPED it. It tipped over and somehow I grabbed it and shoved it back on the cake board. You can't tell too much from this angle, but the back has 3 finger holes and some of the border fell off. Once it was on the table, no one could tell. The top is chocolate fudge with buttercream filling/icing and covered in green Satin Ice. The bottom is the same, but butter cake. Shamrocks are candymelts. It is painted with pearl dust.
This is the cake I made for my office's January Birthday Celebration. My birthday is in January and I collect Hello Kitty, so I figured that since I had to make my own birthday cake, I'd at least make one that I wanted! The bottom layer is a 10" round made of butter cake with raspberry filling. The top layer is also a 10" round that I trimmed to make the face. It is chocolate fudge cake. All iced with buttercream.
I made this cake for my office's February Birthday Celebration. There were a lot of SNAFUs, so the actual cake came from Safeway. I called and bought undecorated 9" rounds. I hated to have to do that, but desperate times call for desperate measures. So it is yellow cake, buttercream icing and edible pearls. I hate using buttercream, but my office does not want fondant on cakes because they are afraid people won't like it.
My dad works for the Orioles and I made this cake for his work Holiday Party. It is a yellow cake with buttercream, black Satin Ice fondant and orange Wilton fondant. I made the baseballs out of white Wilton fodant and used Icing color to paint the stitches on.
This is a cake that I made for my grandma's birthday (which was on Thanksgiving). The top layer is spice with pumpkin filling and the bottom layer is spice with buttercream filling. Covered in buttercream icing and then fondant.
I made this for a coworker for Thanksgiving, but I thought it would do well as a birthday cake, too. This was my first effort with a bow like that. And this was the first cake I've sold!
This is the first time I made a bow like this. And this is the first cake I've sold! My coworker bought it for her Thanksgiving celebration. I know it isn't really "Thanksgiving-y" but this was what she requested.
This is my 5th attempt with fondant. My first "3-D" fondant cake. I had so much trouble making the brown fondant. First I tried making candy clay and rolling it out. Didn't work. Then I had to mix an entire jar of brown gel paste to get it to be brown. But then it was so soft it was unusable. So I added a bunch of gum-tex to it. But it was still very hard to work with. I made it for my coworker's birthday. Not too bad, as a coworker purchased the same cake from me for Thanksgiving (this week!).
This is my 3rd fondant cake. Second stacked cake. I made it for my boss's birthday. It is poundcake with blackberry filling and butter cream icing under the fondant.
This is my second attempt at a fondant cake. My first stacked cake.
This was my first attempt at a fondant cake. It was just for practice.
I made mini cakes for my coworkers for Halloween. These are 4" rounds, butter cake, 1 layer, torted and filled with pumpkin butter. Buttercream icing covered in fondant. Some turned out better than others. I think this was my 4th time working with fondant.
