Red Peony

The bride's colors were "Red"- a difficult color, but I wanted to do the Peony from Alan Dunn's "Celebration Cakes" which became the focal point for this cake.

White On White

The cake design was inspired by Tracy Auseklis' cake that appear on pg 131 in Cake Central Magazine April/May 2010

Skunkworks

My son's team is the Skunkworks team. They wanted a cake, so here it is. Red velvet (of course) with Cinamon Buttercream, fudge fondant for the black - nothing better!

Inspired By Pg 72

I fell in love with the cake on Page 72 of the latest edition of Cake Central Mag (Sept 2010). This is my rendition in white cake with white chocolate ganache. Made for my freind, Susan. Happy Birthday !

Isabellas 3Rd Birthday

Explosion of Joy. Lemmon Pound Cake with buttercream (real butter) icing. Wilton inedible fontant 'cause I didn't have enough energy to make my own. Explosion of flower lollypops made of fondant with candy melt centers.

Evidence Fount Of Ancient Egyptian Gingerbread Man

Oh no. Now they're coming afterme with a knife !!!!

Wiccan Wedding Cake

The bride wanted red and black topsy turvy with bats. She provided to zombie, brain eating topper! I just couldn't get my topsy turvy to work having to throw away my first two attempts. Inside is red velvet with cinnamon buttercream. Red fondant is Satin Ice and Black is Jayde's True Black MMF (WOW!) recipe taken from this site.

Resistance Is Futile - Borg Cube

The groom is a Treky and wanted something Star Trek themed. The Borg Cube seemed the simplest option. Four layered Tripple Choc Cake with Fudge Filling. Outside Silver/Grey Buttercream with texture set up first with self-made mat then airbrushed random rectancles in black, then silver, then black. Final touch is royal icing green "laser" points.

United Way Frog

Donated for auction for United Way. Inside is red velvet with cinamon buttercream.

Looks Can Be Deceiving!

Thank you Jayde for the True Black MMF recipe. I'd of done a larger cake, but I ate all the rest of the fondant! YUM !

Sqwat Frog

From my first airbrush glass taken from Julie at Elizabeth's Cake Shop in Euless. Great class, lots of techniques and practice.

Gator

For my grandson's birthday. Based on cake demo'd at Capital Confectioners sharing day by Dena Bringelson. Thanks! Dena, it was quite a hit ! Only think, the mouth slowly closed, trapping the snake I had hidden inside.

Fresh Coconut Cakes With Albino Hedge Hogs

Got the idea for the hedge hogs from a bread dough book. From tear drop shape of fondant take sharp embroidery sissors and cut the spines. Try it!

Clown For Isabella

OK I tried using Wilton colored fondant instead of Silk 'cause the demonstrator said she preferred. I do not ! But the grandbaby loved it !

I couldn't sleep because this little one demanded to be "born". Started this at midnight and finised at 2 am. Using what I learned from Lorraine McKay. Maybe now I can go to sleep......

Sugar Baby

From Lorraine's McKay instructions. My on my own practice before her class. Hands a wee bit large, but oh what a lovely head - I just couldn't add hair.

We had a "brown bag lunch" with our CFO and CEO. So...... Apple and bag of chips are krispy treat filled. In the bag is double layer chocolate care.
