Whew- first time trying something sculpted like this. Bust was a little too large. Base cake cracked a little under the weight.
Thanksgiving Birthday for my daughter. Ice cream cones around the base. Chocolate cake for the "ice cream."
10" round double layer pound cake with chocolate BC filling. MMF (for the first try!!). Logo is royal icing piped on wax paper and dried, then placed on the cake. Didn't try to replicate the eagle- only had 1 day to work on it.
To celebrate 66th birthday, I did a map of Royal Icing of the eastern USA with a road from his travel from Nova Scotia to Florida. Cake is white chocolate pound cake with cream cheese and raspberry filling. BC on top. I did the RI map on wax paper and then placed it on the cake- FIRST TIME- and didn't take into account the map was perfectly flat, and the cake was not. It ended up breaking several times. Any advice as to how to avoid this in the future is welcome! The "route 66" sign (his name is Bridge, so I made a play on words) was also RI placed on the cake after it was dry was perfect, as were the words that I piped using wax paper overlay and traced printed words that were under the wax. I froze it ahead of time, defrosted it in the car on the way here, and decorated it the next day. It was wonderfully moist and delicious!
Cheated by using plastic turrets and door frame. Cake was strawberry with strawberry/BC filling. Again, pushed for time...
Not pleased with this one, but was really short on time. Didn't have no taste coloring, so I tried to use black sugar for the tires, but proved to be a mess. Used silver jimmies for the chrome. Son didn't care- he loved it.
School fundraiser- biggest cake I've done- 2 12x18 pans, double layer. One was spice cake with pumpkin filling and one was my traditional white chocolate with raspberry filling. BC on top. Fence and a few trees are plastic. Track is poured chocolate.
Chocolate cake carved into shape of the Black Pearl. railings and figures are not edible. The Kraken tentacles are thick molded BC. Cannons are pirouette cookies with candles stuffed inside.
white chocolate cake, raspberry filling, BC icing. First try with something this scale. icing was too glossy...
Chocolate Cake with chocolate ganache and BC
I got the idea from my sister, but replaced the 100 calorie cookies for the head and wings with Nutter Butters cut in half. Took them to school for my daughter's birthday!
My daughter loves hippos and so I saw ideas from several sources and combined them here. Marshmallows for the teeth, cupcakes for the eyes and nostrils. Buttercream all around!
Thanks to PATTICAKESNC for the "Amazing Chocolate Cake" and momtofourmonkeys for the Crusting Chocolate Buttercream. I used a 9x13 and used the areas that I cut out to make petite fours and used Chocolate Poured Fondant to cover. My first attempt at petite fours, and turned out a little sloppy. But very delicious!!
