Shelby Cobra cake for man whose wife wanted "I can't drive 55" on the cake. My daughter came up with the suggestion of the car running into the sign with the slogan on it. The customer loved the idea and it was a big success with her husband, as well. Carrot cake with cream cheese filling and covered with MMF. This was my first car cake....I'd done several trucks but no cars before this.
This was a simple beach themed wedding cake for my boyfriend's daughter who met her husband in Florida. Strawberry cake with cream cheese icing and filling...used white chocolate in candy molds for the shells, graham cracker crumbs for sand and colored piping gel for water effect.
This cake was done for a baby shower with a pink and brown ladybug theme. Chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling and rice crispie ladybug covered in MMF. Brown fondant is chocolate flavored...tastes like Tootsie Roll. Yum!! I used a combination of ideas from Cake Central cakes...thanks guys!
This cake was made for the grand opening of a dog grooming shop. The cake is dark chocolate and the "suds" are white mini cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. Dog head and paw are rice crispie treat, covered with fondant. Didn't have my grass tip to create the fur, so I wound up painting on dog features and used a little blue tinged piping gel for drops of water. Fun cake to do.
White cake with vanilla buttercream filling and gumpaste roses. My first attempt with gumpaste roses and am quite pleased with them. I used crystal beads to create "60"
All cakes are white cake...bottom layer raspberry filling (thanks to a recipe I found on Cake Central) next layer, chocolate filling and top 2 layers are vanilla buttercream. Not exactly what I wanted to do but this is what customer wanted and she was very pleased.
First attempt at making flavored MMF. Top layer is strawberry cake with cream cheese filling covered with strawberry fondant (made with strawberry flavored marshmallows) and bottom layer is dark chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate flavored MMF.(tastes like a Tootsie roll...cool) Enjoy!!
Tropical theme birthday cake. Mandarin orange cake with pineapple creme filling. Thiswas such a fun cake to do. I completed it after working 3-12hr night shifts and stayed up the last morning...whew, was I tired. I really wanted to attempt gumpaste Hibiscus and sunglasses, but because of time contraints I had to improvise.Enjoy!
This is my first attempt at a vehicle. Am pleased about how it turned out even though it looks like an Escalade (to me) rather than a Ford F-150. Chocolate cake with choc filling...plain and simple. This was a quick cake so not as much detail as I would have liked but the client was very pleased and I know what to fine tune on my next one. Enjoy! Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.
Customer gave me the choice of Elmo or Barney for a 2yo birthday. I chose Elmo and wanted to do something different. 10 inch triple layer chocolate with choc wafers surrounding. First attempt with rice crispie Elmo...came out pretty good, but aren't we our own worst critics? LOL This was a fun cake to add to my cake resume' and look forward to doing more. Thank you for any comments or suggestions.
Butter cake with choc filling, and fondant. This was a rush job for a coworker. I work a 12 hr night shift and worked the 3 nights before this cake was due...so, doesn't have the detail that I wanted to incorporate (and didn't have quite enough fonadnt) I am satisfied with the way it turned out and the next one will be better. Thank you for all of the ideas and articles that I used on this site... has helped me tremendously in my pursuit to conquer fondant!!
I've decorated cakes off and on for 25 years, working at various grocery stores, and Baskin Robbins. This was the first wedding cake I've ever done. I did not get to set it up (I worked nights) and it was set inside the platter instead of on top. I'm still very please on how it turned out. I've since learned how to dowl/tier correctly. Looking forward to doing another cake in the near future. Thanks for looking and appreciate any comments/suggestions.
Red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Lace material. Thas cake was done last year before I started using fondant. I'm looking forward to doing one in fondant.
This was made for a party to celebrate "school's out" and birthday. The little boy is a John Deere fan and this is what grandma wanted. Yellow cake w/ choc icing, cookies, and fondant. Again, it's raining and the fondant is not cooperating. First time to try the bumblebees....they came out soooo cute. Enjoy all!!
I had a lot of fun doing this cake. It didn't turn out as I had planned because of time issues, but overall, I am pleased. This is the second time that I have used fondant and know that it does not play well with rain...LOL Strawberry cake w/cream cheese filling and white cake from ring up. First attempt at bow..but practice makes perfect. Thanks to everyone whose ideas that I used and am sorry that I cannot give due credit to each one. Bottom of bottle says, "Made in the USA"
This view is before hearts added.....I think I prefer this to the finished cake. First time to use fondant and loved it!!
Birthday cake for a 17 yr old who's mother could not afford the real thing (like who can? LOL) This was my first tme to use fondant and I had a blast. I have been decorating cakes off and on for 25 years, and fondant always seemed so intimidating. What was I thinking? My next goal is to master gumpaste flowers. Thank you for looking and all comments, suggestions are welcome :-)
