This was for a friend's birthday - they sent me a photo but I don't know who the original idea came from :( White cake with strawberry filling, Satin Ice fondant & gumpaste decorations
Inspiration from genean's cake... Cookies n' Cream white cake with buttercream icing - who knew Oreo's had so much going on??
Inspiration from sandralita's nemo cake... WASC with pineapple filling on the top layer and raspberry on the bottom. Buttercream with fondant accents and a plastic Nemo - my fondant nemo lost a fin in a tragic accident the day before the cake was due :(
Cake for a girl's first birthday. Grandma requested blonde hair / blue eyes, so when Barbie's head was waaaaay too tan for the Wilton doll pick's body, I had to run out and buy a blonde one and paint her eyes blue! WASC w/ raspberry filling and Almond BC, royal icing accents.
This was for my grandmother's 75th birthday. She is an active Girl Scout who can be found at volunteering at one camp or another almost every weekend. I used 4 8" square cakes - five 1" layers make up the base, the rest were cut into quarters and used for the triangle on top. CASC w/ Choc. BC and Satin Ice Fondant.
This was for my former bosse's wedding. Three 12" round tiers stacked off center - they started out more off center but the stress was too much and I had to move them closer into the middle. There was a fourth tier I had to leave off, too :( Flavors were: Italian Cream Cake w/ Coconut Cream Cheese, White Russian w/ Vanilla Caramel BC, Harvey Wallbanger w/ Orange Anise BC, and Cappucino Chip w/ Mocha BC.
WASC Belly cake with MMF. Designed to match the decor in the nursery. Sport ball pan boobs, 9" Pyrex Bowl belly on a 14" square base. I think if I do another cake like this I will add a 10" round under the belly - if only so that the boobs don't look so freakin' huge! Thanks to kavingate for all of her help and inspiration!
For an Assistant Manager's last day at the store - a very last minute cake! Strawberry cake with cream cheese icing. In case you're wondering - she calls everyone "Mama" or "Bubba", hence the message on the cake.
For the retirement of the floral designer at Michael's. A Tres Leches cake covered in Coconut Whipped Cream, with fondant decorations.
Cupcakes for my Girl Scout Troop's visit to Sweet N' Sassy, a salon for girls. Neopolitan cupcake with chocolate transfer of the Sweet N' Sassy logo/mascot?
This cake was inspired by Lisa's... CASC with peanut butter mousse filling (with Butterfinger chunks inside!) and buttercream icing, chocolate molded letters (on sides of cake) and chocolate transfer logo on top. This was for my boss's fiance's b-day, now they want me to make their wedding cake! :)
9" White on White Buttermilk cake with a white chocolate buttercream icing. For a co-worker.
This was for a lady that works with me at Michael's in the custom frame shop. My writing leaves something to be desired, but I don't usually write on cakes so I was pretty darn pleased with it. CASC 10" w/ buttercream icing.
This was for my daughter's 8th birthday (on V-day). It is a design form a Wilton yearbook - maybe 2006? My first fondant figures.
This was my first topsy-turvy, and I had a heck of a time with the fondant wrinkling at the bottom, so here's the best angle I could find ; ) I used Wilton's fondant writers for the message - those things are pretty neat. Yellow cake covered in MMF w/MMF decorations.
This was for my SIL's 14th birthday. WASC 10", CASC 6", MMF with RI decorations. I don't know if I get the whole preppy-girly-goth thing, but her friends loved it!
This was for my daughter's 6th birthday. It was my first attempt at fondant.
The classic "How Candy Corn is Born" using a checkerboard pan set.
This was for my daughter's 7th birthday. Each of the girls on the cake was an image of the girls attending the party. They loved getting to bite off their own heads!
This is from a Wilton book, I just left off a tier to keep at the right size for the amount of people at the shower. The theme was Gerbera daisies, so the colors fit right in. Unfortunately, the top tier tipped over during transport, but I was able to salvage it. It just a little smushed on the right side. It is a yellow cake - buttercream with fondant stripes and daisies.
This was for my sister's wedding... the pictures a little fuzzy, but it was the best I could find. It was my first wedding cake and the first time I've done a pillar construction.
I got this idea from "Ace of Cakes" on the Food Network. On the show, ,they sculpted the hand from modeling chocolate, but mine is made of clay. I had a great time with this cake and it fit the groom's personality so well! It is a chocolate cake covered in chocolate fondant, with fondant flames and shirt cuff.
