Quick birthday cake for my son. He loves Super Mario Bros but I was short on time. He put the figurines on the cake - I would have placed them differently, but since it was his birthday, I let him do it. All buttercream.
This is a 2 in, 3 in, 4 in tiered cake. I used extra batter and let my 7 year old decorate along with me while I worked. This is what she came up with. Still learning, but not bad for a 7 year old!
Used the invitation as guide. For a young sports enthusiast. All buttercream.
Maybe the first cake I made in class. Just found this photo!
Covered in uttercream with fondant accents. For a bridal shower - I was told pink and given one of the napkins used for the shower. I came close to the right color, but after I made the fondant bow and set them to dry overnight, I found they had faded drastically. I added silver dust and - it looked pretty cool! If anyone knows what I did to make the color fade, PLEASE let me know....TLF
My sister asked me if I would make her wedding cake. As she wasn't engaged at the time and I hadn't decorated long (and thought she wouldn't get married for years) I said sure. Well, not long after that she was engaged! And still wanted me to do the cakes! This was a lot of fun, but I would not suggest making the cake and being in the wedding party - that was stressful :) I put sparkles on the side of the fondant and made royal icing snowflakes that I set along the cake. Instead of sheet cakes, I made cupcakes and each had a small snowflake on top. My sister was ecstatic with the results which made me happy!
Birthday boy was obsessed with Hulk! Rocks make of fondant and crumbled oreos. TFL!
I went to ISU, but my cousin's husband is a U of I fan, so I relented and made the cake...actually it was really fun and I freehanded the logo! I think I did a very good job, considering I cannot draw well :)
For my daughter's 6th birthday last year. She had just received her first Webkinz and wanted the cake to match!
A quick cake for a surprise birthday girl at a wedding. She was the bride's friend and the wedding was close to her birthday.
A quick cake for a surprise birthday girl at a wedding. She was the bride's mother and the wedding was close to the mother's birthday.
Just a cake for my husband to take to work on a coworker's birthday. I didn't have much time to work on it, but sometimes simple is better, right?!
Ok, not the best flames, but otherwise I was happy! Color flow logo. This was my first paying cake job!
I noticed that I misspelled "TO" and corrected before it went out the door. I'm usually so good with grammar too! See! Anyway I was pretty happy with the result...logo is color flow.
buttercream with fondant decorations.
For 50th birthday! Birthday girl works for the US Postal Service.
My daughter designed this cake for her 7th birthday. She drew it out for me to use. All fondant and fondant accents.
One of my earlier cakes. A smash cake for my niece's 1st birthday. Color flow flowers and letters.
For a ceremony for the client's father, he had been awarded the Bronze Star Medal during WWII. He passed away 20 years ago, but when the client's mother passed away they had a celebration of life for them both. Buttercream fudge frosting I found here on the site - tastes awesome - buttercream piping and the medal is fondant.
Yellow cinnamon cake with buttercream frosting. Basketweave on the side of the cake. Royal icing and fondant flowers.
simple for an office birthday party (celebrating all bdays for Sept). TFL!
Girl's name was Jade. She wanted her name in pink and purple roses. 8" square cake, probably should've used a little bigger pan, and the flowers are fondant. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
Sheet cake with MMF. Inlay castle and insignia. Very difficult but worth it. It was for a Sergeant's promotion ceremony.
For an office Hawaiian themed party - NFSC with Royal Icing. I couldn't find a shirt cookie cutter, so I cut them out by hand, same for the stencil, I cut out paper flowers and used them as stencils. Given the amount of extra work that made, I was pretty happy with the outcome!
All buttercream. Very simple - first time I freehanded the letters (usually use stencils) and I think I did pretty good.
One of my first cakes, just found the picture. It was my first try at chocolate buttercream. It was one that looked better in my head than on the cake, but my mother-in-law was ecstatic that I made a cake for her. She didn't know I knew when her birthday was :)
