After someone saw a pic of the last grad cake I made they asked me to order one for their daughter's graduation.....IN 2 DAYS! Why, I said "Yes" of course! These were her school's colors (a pain to work w/the dark fondant). Since I had NO time to wait for drying fondant I did the cap & diploma in gumpaste (1st time using & loved it). All other decorations fondant. I put on roses to make it more girly. Put the butterfly on to represent a new chapter in her life. 9X13 pound cake w/strawberry filling & strawberry buttercream. I CANNOT believe I cranked this thing out in 48 hours! Including making the fondant. Whew! I know all the flaws (aren't we our own worst critics) but overall very happy with the results.
Made this for my cousin's high school graduation. He played volleyball and was a math wiz (thus the name "Math King" he was called since 1st grade) and a saying his mom wanted to share w/him. Thanks to the fabulous cake idea I "borrowed" from Keiperd. Man, you make a flawless cake. Ball not easy at all to do. The cake's a 11x15 pound cake, choc ganache filling & cream cheese frosting. Cap made of fondant w/tylose powder. Ball & book RCT covered in fondant. Man are those letters time consuming but MUCH easier after watching a tutorial video. Drove 2 hours to deliver it (AAACCCKKK!) but it made it in one piece & the grad was happy! :-)
All cakes covered in MMF & Chocolate MMF. Decorations made from MMF. Very fun cake to make. Thanks to all CC cakes especially KathysCC for the cowboy boot pattern, Rosita0547 for train & blocks and pony tutorial on youtube (yourstrulytx).
This cake was for my son's First Holy Communion. Blue MMF w/white fondant decorations & rosary (strung on fishing line). Piped Marshmallow Fluff Frosting around border. Pound cake w/chocolate filling.
This was a fun cake I did in a few hours for my husbands birthday. I had left over fondant in a few colors and made small amounts of others w/leftover white. To get the ocean I just swirled blue gel frosting on to buttercream frosting. I must say it was one of the most fun cakes I made b/c I had no plan and just did it in a couple hours baking and all and used a bunch of ideas from CC. Thanks for all the great ideas! Fun also b/c the kids liked to help.
This was a fun, fun cake! I made it for my niece's 1st birthday. Thanks, aprilsong, for the idea! I tweeked it with a few of my own ideas. Had to change some of the things I wanted to do b/c the fondant I got was not cooperating. I usually make my own mmf but due to a shoulder injury I wasn't able to. I must say, I MUCH prefer to use homemade mmf over store bought. The cakes were pound cake w/strawberry bc and strawberry filling covered in fondant. The Minnie cutouts and #1 all fondant.
This was my first time making and working with fondant. This cake was for my daugters 3rd birthday. She wanted a princess cake so I found an idea on line. I cannot take credit for the creative idea for this cake. A few days before I made it she said she wanted Tinkerbell to fly out of the castle! Thanks Disney! Luckily I had a little toy I bought and carved a window in the tower for her. The bottom cake was a 3 layer round cake w/bc and strawberry filling. The house was a loaf pound cake I carved. The towers were rkt w/ice cream cones. All covered in bc w/mmf. It was a lot of fun to make and needless to say my daughter LOVED it! Thanks to all those on cc for yours creative ideas as I looked at TONS of castles and they are awesome.
