Cool Runnings!

I offered to make a college graduation cake for some friends, and they wanted it based on the movie "Cool Runnings"! So here's a spiral cake, complete with tie-dye/ afrikaan design in honor of Sanka Coffie from the movie, and the bobsled! The Cake is made from a 5" cake that is three layers thick, and a 10" cake that is also 3 layers thick. they are iced with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and the rest is buttercream or fondant.

Indian Elephants

I made this cake for my friend's birthday, and chose the theme based on his upcoming trip to India in a few weeks. The cake is chocolate, with chocolate cream cheese frosting between the layers, covered with buttercream, and then with fondant. This was my first time working with fondant, and what an adventure it was! You can probably guess that I did the blue layer first, and, having learned what not to do from that, went back and did the red layer. The flowers are "marigolds"; just Wilton chrysanthemums out of buttercream. The cookies are gingerbread, with a lemon glaze and royal icing embellishments. I got the idea for the cookies from Rosey Sugar Art Confectionery. The text is just "Happy Birthday [Name]" spelled out phonetically in Hindi.

First Cherry Blossom Cake

A first foray into making tiered cakes, and cherry blossom cakes, this is a chocolate cake made of 10", 8", and 5" layers. I'm sticking to buttercream icing for now, but in between the layers of each section there is raspberry whipped cream.

3 Owls Cupcakes

I made this for the birthdays of two of my classmates plus myself. Three supposedly wise women... The cupcakes are red velvet, and the base frosting is, of course, cream cheese.

Mermaid Cake

This was made for the second project (figure piping) for the Wilton I class. The tail of the mermaid was piped on. The torso, head, and arms were made from marzipan and held on by a pretzel stick (I avoid toothpicks if possible), painted with food coloring, and the hair and top were piped on. Oh and yes, those are Swedish Fish candies. :-)

Snowflake/cut-Out Cake

This was my first cake for the Wilton 1 class, when the big decorating techniques were the filling in of areas with stars. I made the pattern by taking two pieces of origami paper, folding each into 6ths, and then cutting them out like snowflakes. I put the smaller one in the middle, and glued it down so that it wouldn't shift around while I was tracing. It was a fun alternative pattern, and the candles later fitted neatly into the 6 little tear-drop shapes!

Blue Angels Cake

I made this cake for my boyfriend who was leaving for OCS as a Naval Flight Officer in the Navy, and choosing the precision flying team of the Navy, the Blue Angels, seemed natural. The cake is chocolate with a chocolate fudge filling, and the frosting is buttercream with color flow for the jets. This was my first experience with color flow, and a warning to anyone else new to it- as soon as these jets were in contact with the buttercream icing they started getting oil spots!
