My son is a big fan of the motorcycle adventures of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. He planned his 6th birthday party based on their documentaries "Long Way Down" and "Long Way Round" including a bike trip around the neighborhood. He also told me exactly how his cake should look!
This is my daughter's birthday cake. She picked a design that she like from the WBH website and I did my best to come up with something similar. The birds and flowers are chocolate transfers. Everything else is buttercream
I made this for my niece's birthday. I was really pleased with the cake but, in retrospect, I can tell from this camera angle that I should have done something about the gaps between the turrets and their tops. The towers are made of stacked cookies covered in fondant. Turret tops and the decorations are also fondant. The cakes are covered in buttercream.
I did this birthday cake for my friend's son.
My son's 5th birthday cake. A lot of work but also a lot of fun!
My nephew's birthday cake. I had a lot of fun with this one. It is hard to tell in the pic but I sprayed this with Wilton Color Mist in black to give it a dirty and distressed look. I really liked the effect and now I want an airbrush!!
This is my daughter's birthday cake. She chose a design from my WBH book and I tweaked it a little.
I had trouble with the fondant as it developed "elephant skin" when I covered the cake. Therefore, the design of the cake was driven by covering up the ugly cracks. However, my little neice loved the cake (esp. the tiny purse) and that is all that counts.
This is the cake I made for the end of season party for my daughter's soccer team.
This is my nephew's birthday cake. He is a huge monster truck fan. Thanks to kim2462 for her kind help with this! It was fun to make and I'm pleased with the way it came out.
Here is the back of the cake. I had a fit making the little monkey - as he dried he began to lean over and then his ear fell off. In the end, it all worked out well. He looks so cute snuggled up to the dog. A happy accident.
My daughter designed this cake for me to do for her birthday. I think we make a good team! I've come a long way since last year (see my photo album). I modeled all of the figures out of fondant (I got wonderful ideas for these from the cc gallery). At the last minute I decided to do the "Happy Birthday Katherine" message in chocolate transfer. I've been experimenting with this method alot recently. This cake was loads of fun to make!
This is a cake I did as a result of a fundraising auction at church. I auctioned one ready-made cake with the promise of two more and this is the second cake. Chocolate cake with dark chocolate buttercream and chocolate transfer cherry blossoms.
Here is another "Blue Dog" cake based on a George Rodrique's design. This time, I did a Mardi Gras theme for a Fat Tuesday party we had at work. The dog is a chocolate transfer. I had to do him twice to get him to look the way I wanted. I also experimented with a diamond pattern on the side of the cake. I was quite pleased with the design and best yet . . . the cake tasted great! Chocolate burbon cake - yum!
This is one of my favorite cakes. One of the girls I work with received her associates degree this summer. She is a huge fan of "Blue Dog" so I wanted to incorporate it in the design of a special cake for her. The dog is a chocolate transfer.
This is the cake I made for my niece's birthday. Based on a Sylvia Weinstock design. Many thanks to Liis for her wonderful fairy tutorial
I did this just for fun. This was my first batch of MMF. I really liked the way it turned out.
This is the cake I made for my daughters birthday. She requested a chocolate cake with roses. I had just finished taking the Wilton I class.
For my daughter's 9th birthday, she had a sleepover with her best friend. I made each girl a 6in layer cake and let them have fun with decorating. This is her cake.
