Alice In Wonderland Cake - 2011-06-18

Alice In Wonderland Cake - 2011-06-18

This was a graduation party cake for a coworker's daughter. I got ALL my inspiration from cakes on this site (thank you!). Bottom Tier: banana cake w/bavarian cream filling, BC icing, MMF accents & heart-shaped edible glitter. Middle Tier: Mad Hatter's Hat - Strawberry cake w/strawberry preserves filling, royal icing flowers and MMF accents. Top Tier: Vanilla-flavored white cake w/BC filling/icing, vanilla-flavored black chocolate candy chess pieces, and bubblegum-flavored MMF tablecloth. (I definitely need some sculpting classes, and the hat should've been 3 or 4 layers high, but I'll know better next time!)

Garden Cake - 2011-04-05

Garden Cake - 2011-04-05

This was for a beloved coworker who retired. She's also a personal friend so I took a day from work to spend making this as perfect as I could. LOTS of inspiration from this website! 1/4 Sheet & 10" Round French Vanilla Cake w/Whipped Vanilla Icing. Confectioner's trim & leaves; fondant accents; royal icing flowers; chocolate "dirt" sprinkles; jelley bean rocks and molded sugar bumble bees. The only thing you can't eat are the stems in the lillies and the cake plate under the round cake.

Sweet 16 Topsy-Turvy Birthday Cake - 2011-02-05

Sweet 16 Topsy-Turvy Birthday Cake - 2011-02-05

This was for a coworker's daughter. She likes finger painting and lots of color, so I turned to van Gogh for inspiration once again, and "painted" the top tier with BC icing and a synthetic paintbrush. Tier 1: Chocolate cake w/chocolate BC filling. Tier 2: Confetti cake w/vanilla BC filling and icing. All colors are painted by hand with piping gel lines. I textured the bottom tier with a dot-covered paper towel, and it looked pretty neat. :)

Redskins Football Cake - 2009-11-14

Redskins Football Cake - 2009-11-14

This was for my brother-in-law's birthday. Inspiration from cakes on this site. I took all my supplies down to Georgia to do the cake and attend the party. The airport checkers broke open my brand new bags of candy melts (do they really look like drugs?), so I couldn't use them to make the face guard on the helmet - next time I'll drive. 1/4 sheet football field: banana cream cake w/BC icing. Helmet: strawberry cake w/BC filling, icing & accents. Team logo printed on edible paper.

Fondant & Gumpaste Class - 2008-01-13

Fondant & Gumpaste Class - 2008-01-13

Single-layer Yellow Cake with Fondant Accents and Icing Shell Trim. Never made the gumpaste pieces for this class. I quickly developed a dislike for gumpaste - I'd feel awful if someone broke a tooth on something I made.

Working With Fondant - 2008-12-23

Working With Fondant - 2008-12-23

Intro to Fondant. I added Kelly Green to White Fondant for a Marblized Effect, so the "lines" are intended and actually looked a lot better in person. I was extremely pleased with how this one came out! I thought it looked very "professional". :)

Nutrition Facts - Nutrition Facts - 2009-01-16

It was a cute idea - a fake nutrition label for a super healthy gal in my office, but my handwriting/piping skills are horrid. Luckily, it tasted a lot better than it looked.

Fishing Cake - Retirement - 2008-12-18

Fishing Cake - Retirement - 2008-12-18

This cake was for a fellow retiring in my office. The inspiration came from others I saw like this on this site, and I used the tinted piping gel technique for the stream that I learned from here as well. The trees are pretzel sticks covered with BC icing, using a leaf tip. Not as full as I'd have liked, but I'm still learning. :)

Pumpkin Face - 2008-10-31

Pumpkin Face - 2008-10-31

Pre-cake classes. This cake was made with a Wilton "face plate" from my mother's 1970's collection of decorating products. Luckily for me she, saved her pans and tools (which have definitely stood the test of time), and I'm still using them today.
