Pirate Ship

Pirate Ship

My son wanted a pirate ship for his 3rd birthday cake. I had fun trying to figure this out. Iced in buttercream. My son wanted the pirates to be toys and I made the sails and flag out of paper and the plank and ship posts were chocolate-covered graham cracker and pretzels, respectively. This was a fun one and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

First time covering a cake with fondant since cake class. Also my first 3-tiered. I used Duff fondant to cover, and found it really hard to work with- it just wasn't firm enough.

This 2-tier cake was covered in chocolate buttercream icing. The "cherry blossoms" are royal icing. I used the directions for apple blossoms because I had no idea how to do cherry blossoms. It was for my sister-in-law, who loved it. Next time I would do the blossoms in bc though.

Batman B-Day Cake

Batman B-Day Cake

I am not super proud of this one, but my son absolutely loved it, and that's all that really matters. I tried a new buttercream recipe, that wasn't as stiff as what I'm used to, and I was working on a time crunch.

50Th Anniversary Cake

50Th Anniversary Cake

This is my first 2-tiered cake. It is just white cake with chocolate buttercream filling and plain buttercream icing. It is also my first attempt at cornelli lace as well as my first time using the comb on the side of the top tier. It was a fun cake and I feel like it broadened my decorating horizons :-) This picture is not quite finished. It ended up on a beautiful plate with a shell border around the bottom and their original 50-year-old bride and groom cake topper.
