Did this for my daughter's 5th birthday. A huge thanks to justfrosting for posting the directions! This was so easy to do and everyone LOVED it! I used Laffy Taffy for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
I don't know why I've never tried a cupcake cake before - they are so fun! My first FBCT fell apart so I had to make a new one and then ran out of icing. So cake ended up without a border, but the kids didn't mind! I'll definitely be trying my hand at more of these!
The Yellow Hat for my nephew's Curious George party. Wondermold pan on top of 2-layer 9-inch rounds. Brim of the hat is just a cake board covered in fondant. So much fun to do and pretty easy too! Inspired by msauers design. Kids at the party didn't believe it was a cake and they "poked" their fingers through the fondant. Luckily I had already taken my picture!
I did this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Based on a design I saw here by jdogga. Everything is fondant except for the royal icing ladybugs. Much easier than I thought it would be!
Another "practice" cake. This time for my brother's birthday. Chcoloate cake and filling covered with Fondx. The blue is also dusted with the new Wilton pearl dust. First time using wires in the cake. I think I could have used more, but wasn't sure how they were going to stay put.
I've wanted to do make up bag for a long time now & Mother's Day was the perfect opportunity! I saw two beautiful bags on CC by Karen and JoanneK. Not as hard as I thought it would be, but I still need to practice with fondant! Oval vanilla cake (using the Wilton Course 2 pans) with cerry filling. Iced in almond buttercream and covered with Fondx. Have to say I really like Fondx a lot - so much easier than MMF!
Vanilla cake (8, 6, 4) with cookies & cream filling. Covered in fondant with a piped white chocolate tiara.
Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. Cake is 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 6.5 inches high. All buttercream and cookie tires. I still need to work on smoother icing! A big thanks to everyone on the site for help with this one!
Did this for a friend's b-day party. Wilton 3D car cruiser pan. Everything is MMF. I forgot to get a picture of it with the "spoiler" attached though!
Did these for my daughter's preschool teachers. NFSC with MMF. Found the containers at the dollar store!
No Fail Sugar cookies with MMF decorations for my husband's poker night.
A last minute birthday cake for my dad. Wanted to try a FBCT - wasn't too hard, but realized I should have put a border around it so it didn't look like it was standing so far off the cake. Spice cake with caramel mousse filling.
I did these for a Halloween Party. Sugar cookies - ghosts are covered in MMF and faces are colored in with food writers. Mummy is covered in a cookie glaze with gold dragee eyes.
My daughter had a "princess" party for her 4th birthday. For the kids craft, I had them decorate cakes made with the mini wondermold pan. We had princesses for the girls and mountains for the boys (although some boys wanted to do princesses too!). These were done by some of the party guests...ages 2-5. The kids had so much fun decorating...but we had to keep an eye out for little ones licking the knives!!
Did this one for my daughter's 4th birthday. It was so much fun!! A BIG thanks to KelleyM and getfrosted for their help!!!! Everyone loved this cake & I am very proud of the way it turned out too. First time using the impression mats and luster dust.
Different view of the firetruck cake
Firetruck cake for a boy's 3rd birthday party. Got this pattern from the CakeWizard. Pretty easy to follow and this was my first time working with royal and color flow since my Course 2 almost 3 years ago. Not as hard as I thought it would be! Cake is chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling, buttercream icing.
My first paid cake!!! Well, I hadn't intended to get paid for it. This was for a baby shower for a friend of a friend. I volunteered to do it because I need practice, but once they picked up the cake, they insisted on paying me for it. I am not happy with how bumpy the MMF turned out. I am not having luck with MMF and am thinking about buying pre-made instead. The "head" is chocolate cake with Rich's Chocolate Bettercreame filling. The body is white cake with lemon filling.
I did this as a quick thing for my husband's poker night. Yellow butter cake with whipped Pastry Pride & cheesecake pudding filling. Iced in buttercream and gumpaste cards & chips. I really wanted to practice getting my buttercream smooth, hence the simple design. But, the guys loved it and polished off by the end of the evening.
Did this for a friend's baby shower. It's from the Wilton 2006 yearbook, but instead of the baby on top, I made gumpaste booties. This was my frist time using gumpaste and I really liked it! Top layer is chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. Bottom layer is the white almond sour cream cake from this site with raspberry filiing. Everying is covered in MMF. Everybody at the shower raved over the white almond sour cream cake! It is definitely a great recipe to use!
I was doing a birthday and smash cake for my nephew' 1st birthday. My 3-year-old daughter wanted to "help" decorate, so I gave her her very own 6-inch cake to do. This is her masterpiece!
Cars smash cake to go along with the larger party cake. Done in buttercream.
This was done for my nephew's 1st b-day party. It's Lightning Mcueen from the movie Cars. The car was made with the 3D cruiser pan and decorated with fondant. The bottom layer is a 12X18 chocolate cake done in buttercream.
Wanted to practice cornelli lace and ruffles, so made this chocolate fudge kahlua cake for Mother's Day. Iced with chocolate buttercream.
Did these for my daughter's preschool teacher. First time making a cookie bouquet. My 3-year old daughter did the tile mosaic on the flower pot.
Did this for my daughter's 1st birthday. Covered in crushed Nilla Wafers & used candy melts and shell mold for the shells. This was a lot of fun to make!
