Quick and simple but dead on.
With this order I did both the grooms cake and the wedding cake. The groom is a violinist and the bride surprised him with this amazing grooms cake
This Nightmare before Christmas Cake is actually for a wedding. The couple got married around Halloween so they made it a halloween themed wedding. I love the haunting elegance of this cake.
My sister calls me up this Tuesday and says "how quickly can you make me a cake" I say "depends on what kind of cake you want." She then proceeds to tell me that she and a close friend were drinking on night and this friend told my sister that all she wanted for her birthday was a armadillo cake like from Steel Magnolias and that was what my sister wanted to do for her. Not wanting dissapoint my sister or pass up the opportunity to make a potentially awesome cake I said yes and off to the store I went. It is a red velvet cake (of course) sculpted and covered with cream cheese icing then gray fondant that I had hand texturized with a small circle cutter and the bone tool. I dont have and air brush machine or I would have sprayed him for more dimention in the grooves. The client LOVED the cake and named it Dug cause its cuteness reminded her of the dog from th movie Up.
This cake I made for my fondant and gumpaste class via wilton. I used the jewelery box technique to make the bassinette and used the embosers that come with the class to make the rug and a boarder technique they used in the book and the blanket draping. I really enjoyed making the baby which was not part of the class but I was able to complete thanks to Lorraine McKay.
This cake was requested to me and I had a great time making it. I lightened the cake by using an easter egg in the center of the body. Then covered the egg with red gumpaste and shaped then neck and tail. After it dried I added the belly plates and let that dry upsidedown then added the tail and back plates. the wings dried seperatly and I added the veins and arms to it then attached them to the body. The Bakugan ball was made out of chocolate sponge cake and carved into a circle. I added red fondant to it then decorated it with yellow and orange fondant. The base cake was chocolate cake with red/yellow/orange marbled fondant. The mom was very happy and I hear her son's face was priceless when he saw his cake.
So It was originally going to be 2 tier and the bottom tier would have had an argyle pattern and the top tier would have looked like what I created, however I made my figure so big that it would have looked weird on a smaller tier. My dad was happy with it and it was my first figure so I was pretty proud of myself.
Everyone said it was rediculous that I make my own birthday cake but I wanted to make a cake that I wanted. I am always thinking what someone else would like but I wanted something I would like... and I love this cake. Its 3-tier (8"+6"+4") Vanilla cake with Milk Chocolate ganashe. Butter creamed then covered in white fondant. The top and bottom tier were then covered with strips of colored fondant and a violet scallop top with golden yellow drapes. The middle tier I left white and created brown vines and mini fantasy roses. I would have added leaves but I simply ran out of time and I dont think it takes away from the cake. On the top of the top tier I added larger fantasy roses and leaves. I couldent even cut the top tier cause it was just too pretty, its still sitting in my fridge.
2 tier mini (6" + 4") yellow cake, buttercream filling. covered with marshmellow fondant. Gumpaste daisys.
At the last second I changed the design of the cake but not the basic idea and I think it came out swell. I loved the curls in fondant and even the painstaking orchids I made (about 55 of them total) The best thing was the bride and groom were happy and that is all that matters.
These cakes were made from fresh pumpkin and chocolate chips crumb coated in creamcheese icing then covered in marshmellow fondant. All the kids got a kick out of them
This was the adult version of the pumpkins I made. It is spice cake with penuche icing drizzled on top. Big hit at the party
This was my first cake that I made using marshmellow fondant and the rest is history.. I never looked back. It was my take on a wilton cake I saw in the store. I didnt know how to smooth the fondant or that there was such thin as a fondant smoother till my 3rd fondant cake so it is a little dented but I was so proud of myself
This was a carved cake made in the shape of a football helmet. buttercream crumb coated then covered in fondant. My husband is from greenbay and LOVE the packers. He was very happy with the cake.
This was a topsy turvy cake made out of italian sponge cake filled with vanilla bean creme and raspberry whip filling. I didnt get to finish it cause I had to run off to my first day of cake decorating class but there were supose to be fondant stars and balloons and #1s on wire all over the cake. I like what I did for the time that I had. I would have made the stripes thinner if I had to do it all over again.
I painted a curious george jungle mural in my nephew's bedroom so for his first birthday I make him a curious george cake that matched his room. I made him his own baby cake in the shape of a number 1 for him to mess up all he wanted. it was made of buttercream and marble cake.
This was a cake I did years ago for a friend's daughter on her birthday. She loves Ariel. I used a shaped pan and lots of buttercream
This was my first tiered cake. 1layer of yellow cake, ganashe filling, 1 layer of chocolate cake, crumb coat buttercream then covered in marshmellow fondant. It was fun to make except for the piping mishap. I couldn't get the butter cream dark enough to match the black fondant I made so I had my husband run out and grab a can of chocolate icing from the grocery store. I whipped it so fast it got super hot and then it was too loose to pipe acurarately. I was proud of it then but now it looks like a big mess to me. I know i could do so much better.
This was my spin on the final cake we were supose to do. I thought my roses were too saturated in color so I wanted to tone them down a bit so instead of a white cake I made it a buttery golden yellow and added a ruffled swag. Its a bit elegant I think.
All we were required to do was make the star boarder at the bottom. I made the swag and the rosebud bouquet just to play around. I thought it came out nice for an on the spot cake. It was valentines day weekend when I made this.
