Fondant/Gumpaste Mix Monkeys
Doll torso with fondant dress and decorations.
Cupcakes with fondant polka dots. I used a large biscut cutter to create the scolloped edges.
I am so disappointed with how this cake photographed. It was so much prettier in person. The brown was a warm chocolate color and not nearly as dark as it looks in the photo.
I really wish this cake came out a little cleaner. I dusted off the corn strach as best as I could. This was the first cake that I covered in black so it was certainly a learning experience.
I finally got the chance to use a zebra pattern! I was inspired by a lot of the cakes here on CC. I couldn't make a decent looking ribbon rose to save my life so came up with my own method. Basically, I just hand flatten and thinned balls of fondant. It was very simply.
Wavy lines painted with gold luster dust and red gumpaste roses.
Inspired by Ladyonzlake's design
This cake was inspired by Amodeoandrea's design. It took a little trial and error but was so much fun to make.
Fondant cutting cake. Banana spice cupcakes with gum paste leaves and raffia accents.
This cake was so much prettier in person. Probably because you could see all the piping that took me hours to complete. I used a #1 tip to add veins to the leaves and lots of vines, dots, and swirls.
I don't do many butter cream cakes and had to rush this one a bit. It is a chocolate cake with mocha butter cream. The smell was intoxicating! The leaves are 50/50 and brush with mahogoney luster dust. The photo just didn't capture all the sparkle. The coordinating bride's cake is also in my photos.
Finally, a pro shot!
My version of Nunuk's design. This cake was so fun and really tied in all the bright colors of the bride's venue.
This was a last minute order. The customers called me on Friday for a wedding cake on Saturday. I stuck with a simple design and pulled an all-nighter. I really wanted to put a funky monogram on top but they had already choosen a topper.
I based this design on my daugther's "My First Purse". The flavor was banana spice with nutella filling and hazelnut buttercream. Yum!
Knock off of Emmer's lovely cake. I was really happy with how this cake turned out. Too bad all the photos of it came out so grainy. Humf!
Total knock off of Msaucer's design. Made from an 8-inch round with Satin Ice. Handpainted cheetah print.
I love when people come to me with creative ideas that are personal and show character. This is exactly what they asked for: stripes and dots in Miami Hurricane colors and a Lcpl. chevron. Crazy, huh?
I used a lot of the cakes here for inspiration. Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to answer all of my questions. I had some trouble laying out the fondant for the "waterfall". I think it was a bit too big and didn't lay a ripple in the right places. I'd love some more suggestions on how to go about this.
I made this cake to celebrate my neighbor's 2nd birthday. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream. I used Satin Ice for all the details.
I thought I'd be creative and try to do a little painting on a dummy that I was dismantling. It doesn't look much like a cherry tree. Mmm... maybe a painting class is in order?
I used the same principles as those found in the article on how to make a royal icing tiara and a template from this site.
Frog Prince Fantasy cake made with Satin Ice fondant and gumpaste figures.
Here's a close-up of my toad stool. I used a cupcake and Satin Ice fondant to form the shape.
I made this cake for my son to present to his teacher on the last day of school. It was my first time using Satin Ice fondant. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to MMF again.
