I made this cake for two 13 year old girls who share a birthday. It has gumpaste ghosts, pumpkins, bats, and the witch on top is also gumpaste, The spiders and bugs are fondant as well as the house, tree and fence. This is my first topsy turvy cake, it was so easy to do, I was surprised!!
This cake was made for a 12 year old boy whose favorite comedian is Jeff Dunham, I made Walter out of colored fondant and painted in the wrinkles and mouth.
This cake was cut from a 16 inch square and iced totally in butter cream.
This is the first purse cake I attempted. It is two 12 inch square cakes cut in half and stacked like a wedding cake. I carved it into the shape of a cake and iced it with butter cream, then covered it in brown fondant. The handles are fondant wrapped around fish tank tubing that has florists wire run through it. The zipper and other accents are also fondant and the design is painted with gold pearl dust mixed with lemon juice.
This a double layer 12 inch square iced in butter cream. The tombstone is cardboard covered in fondant. The zombies are gum paste and fondant painted with Wilton colors and lemon juice. All the other decorations are fondant as well.
I made this cake for a gathering to watch the Potato Blossom parade Fort Fairfield Maine. The potato is a 8' square cut in half, stacked and trimmed into a potato like shape, covered in butter cream and white fondant, I just used my fingertips to make the indentations in the "skin", I then painted the potato with brown Wilton color and lemon juice. I added the fondant potato blossoms as an after thought...I really didn't know what else to use to fill in the empty space on the cake.
My first Fairy cake, the fairies, mushrooms and elf are all fondant. I used butter cream for the rest of the cake.
The head is molded from fondant . The rest of the body is cake. I used 3 8' round cakes, I cut one in half, stacked the halves and stood it up for the body. The next one was cut into slightly uneven quarters and used to make the front and hind legs. The third was cut to shape the neck and tail. All the scales were individually cut from thin fondant and applied one by one. Then whole thing was painted with Wilton colors and lemon juice. It took quite awhile but my nephew loved it.
The tiers are 4' ,8', and 12' frosted with butter cream. The leaves and pumpkins are all gum paste painted with Wilton colors and lemon juice. It took awhile to get the colors right, had to paint and repaint quite a few times. I also added some pearl dust after the paint dried just to add some sparkle. This was my first try at leaves and the first time I used gum paste. Hope you like it.
