Horn is rice crispy treats, the rest is all cake & fondant. This is a grooms cake I was asked to do not too long ago.
I have done this design a few times, but I think this one turned out best! Bottom tier is also cake. All fondant except ribbons & brooch. Bride also had a Captain America shield grooms cake and a small 6" round birthday cake for her flower girl. She was a really great bride to work with. Brooch is from Walmart sewing dept, but I don't think they carry them anymore.
For a tropical themed grduation party. The graduate loves Lilo & Stitch, so we put them on there too (edible image). The rest is all buttercream. Inspired by a few cakes here on CC, so if it looks familiar to you, thank you! :)
Mom wanted the graduate's interests on the cake, which were music & bowling. School colors: orange & black. Bowling pin & ball and tiger face on top are all fondant, the rest is all buttercream. TFL!
For a little boy making 1st Communion, who doesn't like blue. Just red. Kids are so funny. All fondant, including mini rosary. TFL
This is my version of a popular Wilton design, for my daughters 1st Communion. Cake is iced in buttercream, fondant flowers. The top dome is styrofoam, because I didn't need that many servings. TFL!
For an adorable little man's first birthday! :) Chocolate fondant, tummy & hands are a combo of white & choc. fondant w/a touch of ivory coloring to get a good shade. Cake stood 16" tall. Forgot to get a pic of the smash cake, but it was a 3D banana in buttercream.
This cake was for my 2 kids. Got a lot of my inspiration from the rock star themed cake posted by Discolady and 'Las Vegas Wedding' by Tracy10221. Thank you! The cake was a huge hit w/my daughter, who is by far my toughest critic. Son liked it too, but he's pretty easy to please. :) LOL TFL!
This was for a real fun couple. The birds and branch on the top tier were from their invitation. They wanted it worked in somehow with a more modern design, and this was what we came up with. Fondant w/fondant accents.
This was actually for a very large fund raising dinner by a charity called Remedies, they provide assistance for children in abusive homes. They have a new logo, which is 3 blades of grass in a circle, and I painted it on a round mirrored tile that is in between the tiers of cake. The colors were a dark steel gray, light grass green, and a darker grass green. Fondant, w/ribbon & crystals. Served 254
The groom originally proposed by handing the bride a box f cracker jacks. When she got to the 'surprise inside' he was down on one knee. Isn't that so sweet?? all buttercream and airbrushing. TFL!
I totally panicked when I saw the bridal party all wearing yellow & here I was delivering a pale sage green cake. (The lighting in this picture is horrible.) I even double checked my bridal contract to be sure I didn't mess up. Then I saw the topper, a small nest with 2 bright yellow birds and I felt better. All buttercream, including the 'ribbon' base.
The wedding was tuscan themed, so we opted for fresh grapes instead of flowers. Fondant covered, ribbon banded, and grapes.
For an avid track runner. This is the style shoe he wears. At first, he replied "Uh-huh, nice Mom'" (He is 17) Then he looked again with wide eyes and said "Is that my shoe?!" LOL That made it worth it. TFL! (All buttercream covered cake)
All fondant w/royal icing, rhinestones & some painted details. It's also got fake jewels (from Michael's craft store) on it, and the topper is a $1 frame that I put some printed paper in. When I delivered the cake the sun was so bright that my pics didn't turn out, but the customer emailed this one to me later w/rave reviews. TFL!
This is my version of the Beattle's Yellow Submarine, done for a baby shower. I used 2 9x13" ovals for the bulk of the cake, and baked 1 9x13 sheet that I cut and used pieces to create the right shape. Oh, and a 4" round up on top. Fun design once I finally wrapped my head around the shape of it!
Have you ever tried to have a superhero party without using ANY commercially available superheroes?? We decided to keep it fairly generic with just stars and lightning bolts, fashioned largely after a pokemon cake I saw here on CC. If I find the original cake again, I'll post a comment with credit to the original design.
This cake was for a dear friend. Her original wedding reception consisted of a keg of beer & a sheet cake, so I thought we should do it up right for her 25th anniversary vow renewal. The clover flowers are all RI, airbrushed to assorted shades of green. The 'plaques' are fondant airbrushed with pearl and the rest is buttercream. The whole wedding and menu were Irish based, we had such fun! :) TFL
This cake was actually my donation for a fundraiser dinner for a group that assists children in abusive/violent homes. They called it their "Teddy Bear Ball". Tickets for this dinner were $75 each, so I really wanted to wow their guests. The bottom was square, then two round tiers with hat box lids, then the top tier was a pillow for the little teddy bears to sit on. I opted not to make the teddy bears out of fondant at the last minute, but I found these little guys and they fit great.
This was actually for a fund raiser dinner for our local 'Keen Age Center' (elderly assistance) for their 35th anniversary. The original design for this was inspired by a cake I saw at patacake-parties.com, but due to budget constraints we had to use buttercream instead of fondant. Grapes were part of the table centerpieces, so they asked me to incorporate them somehow in the cake. TFL!
I used a stencil for the detail on the purse. White chocolate cake w/cinnamon maple buttercream filling, covered in fondant. This is my first purse, and I had so much fun, I hope I get some more orders now!
I've seen a few of these on the internet, and was glad for an order to make one. I used (2) 9" rounds and a 1/2 ball pan for the ship. All covered w/buttercream. I was in a pinch for time, so I opted for an edible image for the kids in the windshield, and I'm very pleased that I did. The turbo engines are each made from 2 marshmallows held together by a toothpick and a little buttercream, then toothpicked onto the cake.
This cake was inspired by a cake in the Wedding Cakes magazine, though I don't remember which issue right now. Let me just say I LOVED this design!! Just after I got the cake into the reception hall it started pouring rain, what timing! Whew! Thanks for looking.
This cake was a lot of fun to do, but LOTS of colors to mix- bleh. Apparently, this show is quite popular, it is the 3rd variation I have done with this theme, and it's only in it's first season! All buttercream & airbrushing. Thanks for looking!
This is a grooms cake I did this weekend. The base is (3) 10" round cake layers, and the 'helmet' section is (4) 7" round cake layers. All covered lightly in buttercream and then fondant. I got a great bronze effect by airbrushing the helmet a warm brown and then a layer of egg yellow over that. I lightly sprayed it with aerosol pearl lustre since I forgot to order gold (doh!) and it actually looked metallic. WOOT! I guess the groom does deep sea diving, so this was his little surprise.
