Medieval Wine Cask

This large cake was carved to look like a medieval style wine cask or barrel, in a wood stand. It was served at a dessert revel during a Medieval/Renaissance Ball, to celebrate the annual event's 21st birthday. It was constructed as a hidden 2 tier cake, with the tiers stacked before the fondant was added. The upper part was made by cutting two 10", and one 9" layer in half, then putting them on the board cut side down (largest in the middle, smallest at the ends), and carving from there to get the upper half of the barrel, with 8" diameter at the ends and 10" in the middle. The lower tier (bottom half of barrel + stand) was carved from 2 stacks of 3 7x11" layers put next to each other to make an 11x14 block to carve from. Ivory fondant was textured with a wood grain mat and then hand painted with brown gel food color diluted with vodka to get the wood tone. The metal rings and tap were made of dark chocolate fondant, then painted with roman silver luster dust to get the metallic sheen.

Dogwood Blossoms And Goldfinches

This cake was for my mother's 70th birthday. Since 2 of her favorite things are flowers and birds, and her birthday was on the first day of spring, I went with flowering dogwood branches and goldfinches (one of her favorite birds). The sky blue is also the color of her aquamarine birthstone. The birds were made by pressing fondant into a candy mold, and then painted with food color diluted with vodka. The flowers were fondant, made with a plunger cutter, and dusted with apple green and honeysuckle pink petal dust. Everything else was buttercream, including basketweave on the sides of the cake.

Medieval Pavillion

This cake is a 1"=1' scale model of an actual medieval style tent, or pavillion. The cake was 12" at the base, and constructed like a 3 tier cake, then iced smooth overtop. Buttercream with fondant accents. The heraldic banner is gumpaste, with a stand made of Pocky sticks. There are piped "ties" where the door is tied shut, but they're hard to see in this photo, as are the fondant tent stakes.

Fall Wedding Cake With Fresh Fruit

Cakes are covered with Choco-Pan (blanc). Swags are 50/50 gumpaste/chocopan and vertical lines are buttercream. Cakes were topped with clusters of red, green and black grapes, strawberries and raspberries (which worked well as caps to hide protruding grape stems) and then sprinkled with edible glitter. Center cakes are on the floating tier stand. The ivy touching the bottom of the cake is silk. The table was decorated with real ivy and extra fruit.
