This is a gluten-free chocolate cake with Vanilla IMBC. The decorations are fondant, and the fairies wings are gelatin. I want to thank Eviah for the inspiration for this cake. I could not think of how to make the fairy. (I am terrible with people.) Her cake saved me this morning!! http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=85684&done=2
This was the first time that I played with my new gelatin transfer sheets from Cake Connection. I didn't have all the time to really go into detail work, but I still love them.
This is a two-tiered (5-8) finished in IMBC with added fondant decorations. The "box tops" were cut fondant pieces laid over the buttercream cakes. I then freehand painted the animal print. The animals, trees, and leaves were formed out of fondant and pressed to the cake. The bow is fondant as well. Around the base of each cake is my "dirt" mixture--cookie crumbs, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, & almond meal.
This cake was for a fun couple. The top was red velvet, the 2nd was black forrest and the bottom was vanilla with fresh strawberries. I wish my lines were a little straighter, but I like the overall look. Feel free to critique (CSM) TFL
2 tiered cake (6" and 10") The top was vanilla cake with one layer of lemon curd and 2 cream cheese and the bottom was red velvet with 3 layers of cream cheese. The cake was a surprise for a friend's 30th birthday. Her signature colors are yellow and black. The cake is finished in IMBC with black tinted chocolate ganache piping and black fondant strips. I did a baby shower cake a while back, and the general consensus was that the flowers on it actually distracted from the cake. I took heed and refrained from adding flowers. I am fairly pleased with the result. Thank you CCers for the advice. (CSM-Please feel free to critique this one as well. ) TFL
This was a fun wedding! The groom really wanted individual cakes for each guest. However, it was just too costly. He also really wanted a "sparkly" cake so I sprinkled as much edible glitter on top as possible, and the two mini-cakes were a surprise to him from the bride. All of the cakes were finished with IMBC and edged with navy blue fondant ribbon. The mini-cakes have buttercream flowers, and the main cake has fresh. Feel free to critique--I am CSM. TFL!!!
This 3 tier square was 6 X 6, 9 X 9, and 12 X 12. The top two tiers were Hawaiian Delight (Coconut, White Choc., Mac. Nut cake with fresh pineapple and coconut pastry cream) the bottom tier was marble cake with 2 layers of choc. choc chip mousse and 1 layer of ganache. The whole cake was finished and decorated in IMBC. The pink ribbon around the base and the bow on top are fondant. This beautiful picture was given to me by the photographer. Trust me the cake did not look as good when it left the shop!
This was a gift to a friend. The cake itself was vanilla cake with alternating layers of fresh strawberries and choc. choc. chip mousse. Thankfully, I had assembled the cake on Friday, because on Saturday, I ran short on time and only had 30 minutes to carve and finish the cake. (The gumpaste flowers are all purchased) The cake was finished in choc. IMBC.
This cake was made for a client whose daughter was moving to Japan. It was a last minute cake so I was a little limited on deco, but I thought it turned out fairly nice. It is finished in IMBC with piped ganache branches and dusted pink fondant flowers. The ribbon around the base is fondant as well. CSM: All critique is welcome and appreciated! TFL!
The 9" round was vanilla cake with 2 layers of fresh strawberries and 1 layer of vanilla pastry cream. One of the square cakes was chocolate cake with 2 layers of choc. choc. chip mouse and 1 layer of ganache. The other square cake was vanilla cake with 2 layers of raspberry buttercream and 1 layer of lemon pastry cream. They are all coated with IMBC and have fondant accents. The hearts are all piped BC. I am a CSM so all critique is welcome and appreciated! TFL
I made this cake for a friend of mine. It is completely gluten-free. It is finished in IMBC with some fondant accents and piped ganache. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with 2 layers caramel buttercream with toffee crunch and 1 layer of almond ganache. The middle tier is red velvet. The top tier is vanilla cake with peanut butter pastry cream and strawberry jam. Celiacs don't always get much choice in the way of dessert. I can't tell you how thrilled she was to have 3 different flavors for her cake! TFL!! Constructive criticism welcome!
Just a fun small cake I made for a 2nd Birthday. The cake is finished in IMBC with bc clouds and fondant spaceship and stars.
I carved this cake from a 1/2 sheet. It is finished in chocolate ganache with pink fondant circles. The smash cake is a 4" round finished in pink IMBC with chocolate brown fondant circles.
These cakes were for a wedding. The main cake is a 12 X 12, 9X9, and 6x6. The satellite cakes are all 6 X 6. The are finished in IMBC with fondant ribbons around the base and black BC piping.
These cakes were ordered for a tea party. I used the Wilton Mini Ball cake pan. I then covered each cake with an extra long piece of fondant which I cut around to make the hat brim. I added the band, gumpaste and royal flowers, and butterflies last. Each cake was color coordinated to the outfit the lady was wearing.
These cakes are finished with IMBC and maroon fondant strips and decorations.
I am so stinkin' proud of this cake!!! My 17 year old niece decorated this cake. She started working with me last year and has really come a LONG way. Now she says she wants to go to culinary school after graduation!!! The cake is finished in IMBC with fondant appliques.
I made the author's anniversary cake, and I was delighted when they contacted me to make a cake for her first children's book release party. (The book is fabulous by the way) The cake is finished in IMBC with a fondant book marker. The cover picture is an edible image.
The cake is finished and decorated in IMBC. The crab is made from fondant, and the "sand" is a combination of almond meal, brown sugar, white sugar, raw sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. (I usually just throw a bunch of "sandy" looking food into a bag and shake it up. I have used just white sugar that I tinted with ivory, brown, and lemon yellow gel colors.)
This cake is finished with a golden ivory IMBC. I then added fondant pieces in black and darker gold, and I topped the cake with a big red ribbon bow. I got the inspiration from cakes I found here!
These were for a baby shower. The bouquet was for the mom-to-be and the packaged cookies were for the guests to take. We call the baby lady bug, and the mom's fav is frogs so we added the ladybugs and gummy frogs.
Sugar cookie with RI inspired by designs I found here!
4 different sized cakes finished in IMBC with fresh flowers and fondant appliques.
9 inch Red Velvet cake with cream cheese filling finished with IMBC. The owls and other decorations were fondant appliques
2 tiered cake finished with IMBC with gold fondant ribbon wrapped along bottom of the cake. Gold and green BC piping decoration. Normally I would not put this strong of a color on a cake, but the birthday girl used to work for me and knows how bad those colors would stain!
3 tiered wedding cake (6", 9" & 12") for a very perky bride. We made the cake topper out of fondant from a stamp the bride and groom had designed for their invitations. The cake is finished in IMBC with fondant cutouts added.
