I made this flower basket cake for a friend's grandmother. This was my first ever basket cake, and my first attempt at realistic looking flowers (as opposed to fantasy flowers). Flowers are all gumpaste, as well as the handle. Everything else is buttercream. Thanks for looking!
I made these Easter Basket cakes for my parents and my mother in law. Carrot cake with buttercream icing, fondant accents. The eggs are chocolate speckled eggs, and the chicks and rabbits are marshmallows that I found at Walmart! Oh yeah. the calla lilies are gumpaste.
I made this cupcake tower for a 'sweet as can bee' party theme. I made the cupcake tower out of soup cans and foam board. Top cake is 6" vanilla cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. The bee and the #2 are fondant/gumpaste. Cupcakes are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry creme. I made the little bee cupcake toppers out of fondant, and drew the stripes, outline, and faces with black food coloring marker. Thanks for looking!
I made these cookies to go along with a cupcake tower....birthday party theme was 'sweet as can bee'. I couldn't find a bee cookie cutter that didn't look like a dragonfly, so I actually hand cut these using a picture I printed online. I also hand cut the #2's because I ordered a cookie cutter and when it came in I didn't like it! The mini flowers were from a cutter. I love how these cookies turned out!
I made this cake this past August for my MIL's birthday. It was carrot cake iced in buttercream. The bow and flowers are fondant.
I made this cupcake tower for my daughter's 10th birthday party this past weekend. This was only my second attempt at making a person out of gumpaste, and I am thrilled with the way she came out! I also made the cupcake tower out of foam board and styrofoam blocks. It was a little off-center, but it held up for the party!
This was my first attempt at a topsy turvy cake. I worried about this cake for weeks before actually doing it!! Not as tipsy as I would have liked (I actually put the top tier on facing the wrong way...but didn't realize until it was too late to take it off)....but I am still happy with the results. And also happy that it didn't collapse on the 40 minute drive!!
8" and 6" two tier cake (my first time using SPS!!) iced in buttercream, with fondant accents. The picture was printed and covered in contact paper, frame is a fondant/gumpaste mixture.
I made this shoebox/shoe cake for my best friends 30th birthday. She loved it!! My first attempt at a gumpaste high heel. It actually cracked in the middle of the sole because I picked it up before it was completely dry. I tried to fix it by brushing over the crack with melted chocolate. You can see the color difference, but I'm still happy with the results!! Cake is iced in buttercream, with fondant accents. The lid is foamboard covered in fondant.
I did this for a friend's baby shower. It was butterflies and ladybugs themed. Cake iced in buttercream. All fondant and gumpaste accents.
I made this cake for an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. It's my first cake over 3 tiers...and my first time using SPS! Wedding colors were sangria, teal, and black. White cake iced in buttercream. Fondant accents. Ribbon and flowers were not edible.
French Vanilla cake iced in cream cheese icing. Fondant ribbon, gumpaste daisies. They are supposed to be fuchsia, but I am not sure the color is just right.
I made this for my friends birthday last week. Fondant flowers, everything else is buttercream.
I made these cupcakes just because! I made some with a different design for my sister, and decided to experiment with the leftover cupcakes! Gumpaste gerbera daisies, iced in buttercream.
I made these cupcakes for my sister, who was visiting from Nebraska. Bows and flowers are fondant, silver dragees, and iced in buttercream.
I made this cake for my friend's sister. She wanted the zebra stripes and pink with a number topper. Iced in buttercream. All accents are fondant.
I did this cake for my friend's son, who was turning 6. The party was for a girl and boy and was luau themed....but her son wasn't thrilled so she let him have a 'spongebob' luau cake just for him! This was my first time using the paisley pans. Cake is iced in buttercream (thank goodness for the Duff gel colors...I used electric blue!!)....all accents are fondant except for the characters. The pineapple is RKT covered in fondant with fondant leaves. Sand is crushed graham crackers.
I made this groom's cake for my best friends wedding. The groom proposed on a camping trip while they were making s'mores, and he said 'Will you spend s'more of your life with me??'. The bride wanted that reflected in the cake somehow! Chocolate buttercream icing, fondant fire and logs. The marshmallows are real, dusted with lustre dust to make them look sort of 'roasted'.
I made this purse for my friends 'last night of freedom' party!! This was my first purse cake. Iced in buttercream, all accents are fondant except the handle which is gumpaste/wire. I didn't dowel this cake since it was so small (an 8'' round) but I should have because it started to lean forward quite a bit on the way there. Learning experience!!
I watched an online tutorial on fondant strawberries and I just had to try it out! Strawberries, flowers, bow, and stripes are fondant. Iced in buttercream.
I made this cake last week. 8" square, 6" round. Buttercream icing, all accents are fondant. The picture is actually a printout covered in contact paper.
I made this for my best friends beach themed wedding, in which I was also a bridesmaid!! My first wedding cake ever. 14", 10", and 6". Iced in buttercream, everything else is fondant. I made the topper by covering a cheapy cake topper with royal icing and then crushed graham crackers.
I made two of these cookie pop bouquets for my mother and mother in law. They are supposed to look like my three girls.
I made this cake for my daughter's 3rd Birthday party this weekend! There were so many great Dora cakes on here, so this is kind of a blend of all the different ideas I found! Palm trees and bridge are gumpaste, flowers and rocks are fondant (the Duff fondant from Michael's....and it tastes GREAT!), the rest is buttercream. Dora, Boots, and Swiper are plastic figurines.
I made these peace sign cookie pops to go along with my God Daughter's 'Beatles' themed birthday cake!
I made this for my God Daughter's 10th Birthday this past weekend....the Beatles is her favorite band! The figurines were made from a 50/50 fondant-gumpaste mix. Some of the flowers are gumpaste, some are modeling chocolate. The music notes and border are modeling chocolate. The piping is buttercream. This cake was a challenge, but definitely fun!!
