Luau Birthday Cake

For my friend's birthday, it was a luau. This was my first fondant "human" I bought anine2's tutorials before I started and it really helped. Each tier is covered in cookies, most flowers are fondant. I tried a few gumpaste ones but I think I will need a lot more work with it before I'd use them on a cake again.

First Birthday

This was for my son's first birthday. It was my first cake since last September and it felt great to be doing it again! I got loads of inspiration and ideas from this site so thanks to all. It's neoclassical buttercream with fondant accents.

First Birthday

For my friend's son's first birthday. Bottom is chocolate, middle banana and top is white. Covered in buttercream with fondant frogs, leaves, flowers, bull rushes and the number 1. I got so much inspiration from fellow CC's on this one, thank you so much to everyone!

My First Wedding Cake

This is my first wedding cake. It's all white cake with lemon buttercream filling. The bride found the picture of the cake in a magazine but I don't know which one it was.

First Birthday Cake

Thanks to everyone for their help with this one. This is my version of Aine2;s cake, I don;t think I will try anything this ambitious again for a while. I really found this one tough! Lots of cracks in my fondant on the edges which I covered most up with the clouds. It was fun though and the kids all loved it. Thanks Aine2, you are an inspiration!

First Stacked Cake

Covered in fondant with BC roses. Just wanted to practice making a stacked cake and needed the practice covering with fondant too.

Birthday Cake For A Friend

I took inspiration from Ladivacrj for this one, so thank you! First time doing an fbct, which I did too thin and it cracked. This was also my first time using real buttercream icing, which tastes great but I found harder to work with than the crisco recipe as it seemed to separate when I was adding colours. I don't think the "water" turned out very well but I think my firend will be pleased with by the thought and hopefully the taste.

Practise Cake

Just another take on Saturday's bridal shower cake, I wanted to use up the icing and had the flowers made from practising. I had a real problem with my fondant cracking on the edges of this one. Guess I need to make more.....

Thanks for all your help with this one!

Practise Cake

Just wanted to try fondant. Bought a new cutter and used a cake from my freezer. Looked egg shaped so... Wanted to practise writing. I really like working with the fondant. It went on pretty smooth but I don't like the taste much. This is the Wilton fondant, I will try making some for the next one. I'm trying to make one cake a week for practise.

Car Cake

My first 3d cake. Fun to do, can't wait to try again!

Beach Themed Shower Cake

This was for a beach themed cake. I made palm trees for it too but forgot to get a picture with it in. I used Nilla waffers for sand and the figures are made out of fondant.

Christening Cake

Christening cake for my friend's son. I had some trouble with this one and it isn't what I envisioned but she was happy with it and it all worked out in the end.

Course Three

Final cake for course three. This one was really fun and made me want to keep trying new things!

Made while taking course one.

Cupcakes

These were made for a friend's daughter who was turning 11. I enjoyed doing them but it was a lot more work making so many different colours of icing and a lot of washing up!

Mother's Day

This was made for a friend, it was the first time I used the crusting cream cheese frosting and she really liked it.

Mother's Day

Another Mother's Day cake. I didn't leave enough room to write Mom on it so it looks a little squished but she liked it anyway.

Father's Day Cake

My husband goes nuts for my peanut butter balls so I put them on his cake.

Baby Shower

I made this for my neighbour's baby shower. First time doing the basket weave. It was a lot of fun!
