Aladdin And Jasmine's Palace: A Birthday Cake

Sophia asked for a Jasmine cake for her 6th birthday. We made it together. Towers are made of ginger snaps and vanilla wafers covered with fondant. Onion domes on the towers are also made out of fondant, hollowed out on the inside to make them lighter. The cake itself (in the middle) is chocolate with buttercream frosting. The big dome on top of the cake is made out of cake with the top half shaped out of fondant, then covered with buttercream to match the cake itself (in the middle) which is chocolate with buttercream frosting.

Sophia's Cinderella Castle Cake

I posted this cake once before, but I wanted to add some information, I had to delete it and post again. Apologies to those who had saved this cake photo. I am very grateful for all the amazing castle cakes and inspirational ideas on this site! My first castle cake is made with 6" and 8" tiers of chocolate cake covered with vanilla buttercream. Towers are made of molasses and Oreo cookies covered with fondant and fondant steps and stonework. Roofs, windows, door, and castellations are made of chocolate plastique.

Knitting Pattern 1

The white chocolate modeling clay I made with Guittard chocolate made a lovely soft yellow design. What is the best way to get the extra corn starch off?

Calla Lily Birthday Cake

For my daughter's birthday. She wanted an ice cream cake, but the ice cream never got hard enough to use. Thus, the cake is rather short. Her favorite color is cobalt blue. It sure takes a lot of coloring to get such a deep color! Her favorite flower is a calla lily. It is made of white modeling chocolate.

Grafitti Wedding Cake

I am practicing for my son's wedding in August 2008. He used to be in a hip hop band and likes graffiti. On this practice cake, I tried out his name in a graffiti font called Spanky. He liked it and wants their names on separate tiers. I asked him who would get top billing?? He speedily emailed back that his fiance would be on top! Good Boy!! This cake is covered with Rolled BC. The letters are chocolate plastique.

Sophia's Football Cake

My granddaughter, Sophia (4 years), asked for a football cake for a reunion with her uncles and grandfather. I thought it was appropriate for this weekend's "mini super bowl" with the Patriots and the Colts. Thanks to your site, I had lots of inspiration! This is a rolled BC covering over a crumbcoat. For the football, I kneaded powdered cocoa into the rolled BC. The flowers are not completed because that will be Sophia's job when she gets here!
