Cake was based on artwork provided by client, an art gallery owner.
This wedding cake was the centerpiece of a larger dessert buffet. The wedding was held in a barn and the theme was modern vintage/shabby chic. The bunting and flowers were made of rice paper and, other than the topper, everything was edible. Cake was vanilla bean filled with passionfruit curd, finished with IMBC.
Fondant covered cakes painted to look like birch bark, fresh flowers. Cake flavors were almond cake with vanilla pastry cream and coconut cake with passionfruit curd. Bride brought in a photo that she wanted replicated but requested brighter colors than the original.
For this cake, I was given complete freedom. The only requests were for a hot pink and black cake, "Sex in the City" style and "over-the-top". It was a lot of fun to do, especially since very few people in my area would ever ask for a black and pink cake. (Actually, this cake has been the only time someone requested these colors in my three years in business.)
Customer requested a cupcake tower with a giant cupcake on top, black and blue color scheme. They also asked for golf themed cupcakes. The cupcake flavors were red velvet (water hazards and sand traps), lemon filled with lemon curd (putting greens) and chocolate (30s). A lot of fun and a lot of work!
Fondant covered cake piped with royal icing swirls, gumpaste roses, gumpaste "50". (My first roses since culinary school in 1998 -- wow, that was a while ago...) Different style than I usually do, but it was a nice change of pace.
This cake was done for a funeral director's birthday and is, believe it or not, based on his favorite casket. A lot of fun to do, especially since I am the daughter of an embalmer myself.
This cake was for a little girl's second birthday. The mom sent a similar photo (from Martha Stewart, I think?) but requested lots of pink. Vanilla bean cake, filled with vanilla bean pastry cream and strawberry preserves. Covered in IMBC and glazed with ganache then covered in sugar cookies. Really fun cake to do!
This cake was done for a local wedding magazine photo shoot. The stylist requested this design which is just a modified copy of a cake I did with dark chocolate fondant and pink and orange flowers. They called me two days before they needed the cake and just a week before Christmas. Glad they wanted an easy design! White fondant with pink gumpaste flowers.
Another quick and easy gingerbread display for my shop. The tree stands almost two feet tall, though the recent humidity in the bakery has caused it to lose a few inches. Good thing Christmas is almost over!
This house was made for display in my bakery. Kept it small and simple this year!
This was a groom's cake for someone who loves the band Nine Inch Nails. Other than the strings, everything is edible. The entire guitar (including the neck and headstock) are cake covered in fondant. All of the bits and pieces are hand-made from gumpaste. Design on the body is several edible images pieced together. First time using edible images -- thank you to Icing Images and to everyone on CC who answered my questions and helped out!
This was the second of two dummy cakes I did for our local art walk. It is based on a comic book/comic strip called "Mimi's Doughnuts" written and illustrated by a local artist. Cakes are covered in fondant, except for the sprinkles tier and the small tier covered in white non-pareils. Doughnut is RKT, plaques on hex tier are gumpaste and royal icing. Hope you enjoy checking it out. It was a fun cake to make!
