I got the idea for this cake from a lampshade. I made the cake for my sisters for their birthdays. They're a week apart, and were having the party on the same day. So, I just sent it back with my mom when she came down to visit. My family loves being my guinea pig. It was mostly to practice the design (which still needs a lot of work), and to test the crème brulèe coffee creamer for flavoring. Next time I will use fondant. My oldest sister doesn't like fondant, so I just used buttercream.
Cinnamon Vanilla Kahlua Cake. Cinnamon, Vanilla, Kahlua buttercream filling. Vanilla Buttercream frosting. 1M tip used to make border. Cinnamon sprinkled on top. This was just a practice cake to test measurements, and taste. It turned out pretty good. :) The recipe came from this site.
My first ever figures. 50/50 gumpaste and fondant. I was making a cake to match the shower plate. I also had to drive it 8 hours, so the blankets broke, and baby bear's head and arm kept popping off, so I ended up finally just attaching those with royal icing. All in all, I'm still pretty proud of my first attempt. I mean, since I have no experience I can't expect it to be perfect, right? The crib broke, but you can't see a lot of it. Camera also broke, so this was taken with mother's phone cam.
Made for my husband's friend. Lots of snags on this cake, but he loved it, so I guess that's all that matters. :)
My mother's birthday is the 28th, Step-father's is the 27th. My husband and I bought them Nascar tickets for the October race, so I thought it fitting I make them a Nascar cake. Black fondant, edible images, white almond cake, and white almond & strawberry marbled cake. Buttercream icing.
This was a last minute cake for my nephew. His birthday is this weekend, and I actually get to go to Ohio and share it with him, so I made a cake spur of the moment. Strawberry cake, buttercream frosting, white fondant. The character is from a cartoon he watches.
Birthday cake for my sister. Her birthday is 3 days before Halloween and she always wanted a halloween themed cake, so the year I started decorating (long long time ago) I made this for her. Red velvet cake. Cream cheese icing. Everything is edible, 'cept the plastic flies. I'm a little embarrassed by this one.. heh Thanks for looking.
This is my first cigarello cake. They're completely homemade, as you can probably tell. German chocolate cake with coconut/pecan frosting. I don't like the look of that particular frosting, so I shaved some chocolate bits on top of it. Thanks for looking.. I just wanted to add, Thanks Nati for your tutorial. I couldn't have done it without you. :)
I made this for a friend.. He had a friend that had ran over a rabbit, and was just devastated by this. So, my wonderful friend thought this deserved a cake teasing his poor friend mercilessly, and I was volunteered to make it. Of course, back then, I only knew all things Wilton so it was inspired by one of their cakes, and changed a little to suit the need. (This was quite a few years ago) Luckily, his friend found it quite humorous and was not at all offended. :)
I made this for my sister about 10 or 11 years ago? I can't even remember how long she's been married. I hadn't been decorating long, and this was my first wedding cake and tiered cake. Most of the decoration fell off.. Middle of June, no air conditioning in the car, so I had to do all the border all over again at the church. Also, my mother put the the top tiers on, because I was getting ready (bridesmaid), and I think she jammed it through one of the cardboards because it's shorter on one side.
I got the idea for this one from the 2002 Wilton Yearbook. It was made for a halloween party, my husband was attending, last year. The skeleton was made with candied popcorn, decorated with buttercream frosting. I just found it in one of my folders, and thought I'd post it. His skull is a different color than his arms, because the arms aren't candied, just stuck to it with buttercream. Thank you for looking.
This is the cake I did for my husband. I tried to get him to let me do something that would show his personality, or a hobby, but he kept insisting he just wanted a yellow cake with chocolate icing. Well, I couldn't have that, so I had to embelish just a little. The leaves and scrolls are chocolate, and were so much fun to make. I'm not good with cornelli lace yet, so I pretty much just squiggled some lines on top. My cousin added some baby's breath for a little extra decoration. hehe
This is our wedding cake, which I made the night before the wedding. Each layer is a different flavor consisting of chocolate, strawberry and plain white cake. All were frosted with buttercream frosting. The ribbons are real ribbons, because I don't have experience with fondant yet, and didn't know how to make those. All the accents on the cake were drawn on with buttercream, then I painted over them with silver dust mixed with vodka. The flowers were some we had left over after making the bouquets.
