My mom is on oxygen so can't have real candles without the chance of blowing up the house. I got this idea from seeing smash2022's Candles Cake. Looking at the picture, I can see that I should have used a solid yellow cake board, this is way too busy.
I loved Kimagination's Buddha cake and wanted to do a similar design. She was so helpful answering my questions. Buddha, om symbol and rocks made from candy clay. I painted Buddha and some rocks with gold luster dust in vodka. Bamboo from fondant/gumpaste.
Celebrating the end of tax season with a neapolitan cake with buttercream icing and chocolate roses. The cake board was covered with tax forms and we put a sign by the cake that said "Tax Season is Over-Time to Smell the Roses". The back of the sign said "Tax Season is Over-Time to Eat the Roses".
All accents made with fondant.
Inspired by Sweetapolita, thank -you for the tutorial! 6" cake surrounded by 49 pieces of fondant asparagus. Top has over 200 pieces.
Needed to use up some icing, so made this. I didn't have enough icing to crumbcoat, so there are lots of crumbs in the icing. I'm pretending it's dirt. The spikes are slivered almonds brushed with cocoa powder. I copied cupcakeenvy's cake because I thought it was so cute.
Have you ever done a cake that every thing that could go wrong-did? That's this cake. when it was almost finished I commented to my husband that nothing else bad could happen. That's when the phone rang-the party was cancelled. Oh well.
I didn't even know what Pokemon was-so I found cakes here. Thank you to all who posted Pokemon cakes, especially cakenut516, for the inspiration. All figures were fondant and gumpaste.
First time doing a chocolate rose using Paul Bradford method. It was so easy. If you haven't checked out his site, do so! Lots of tutorials, and it's free until the end of October, 2011.
Birthday cake for my mom who loves cherries. I used Wilton Sugar Sheets for the red stripes. I didn't care for them. I thought they would be like fondant, but they were more like cardboard, and the color was not a vivid red, but kinda washed out. The cherries on top were made from candy clay and the ones on the side are Mary Engelbreit cake decorations.
10" and sports ball pan
Who asks for an anteater for a birthday cake? Only my 28 year old son!
Most decorations were fondant & gumpaste. The red coral and crabs were royal icing. The shells were candy melts. Sand was crushed Vanilla Wafers. The fish were candles-they looked so much smaller in the catalog picture! Oh well.
I used one elephant cookie cutter, but with different thicknesses of fondant. Then rolled some out to make bigger elephants.
Fondant and Gumpaste dinosaurs. Palm trees are chopsticks covered with fondant and gumpaste. Seeing my half done grout cleaning job in the background of the pictures inspired me to hold a tablecloth behind future cake pictures. LOL
Used chopsticks for well posts, all figures and flowers are fondant and gumpaste. This cake was a lot bigger when I pictured it in my mind!
All fondant and gumpaste decorations.
