Eva & Charles' Wedding Cake & Cupcakes! Their wedding took place at a local nature center inside of a rustic barn and the theme was modern with a simplistic rustic twist. Keeping in line with simplicity, the cake was chocolate and vanilla cake filled with their respective buttecream flavors. What I absolutely loved about this cake was the youthful quirkiness of the birch tree segments balanced out with sophisticated (and interesting!) spherical chocolate flowers. Craspedia, Scabiosa Pods, Globe Thistle, and early Mums are accented with sage leaves and rosemary sprigs paired with a deep grey sash. The cupcakes are chocolate/vanilla bean, double vanilla bean, and cherry lemonade with cream cheese buttercream! Congratulations Eva & Charles!
Vanilla Cake and Vanilla Buttercream set the stage for two tiers of fun covered in Marshmallow Fondant! The cake is decked out in midway lights, a bag of scattered peanuts and a neverending supply of tickets! NOMNOM!
With Marbled Chocolate-Vanilla Cake for the bottom two tiers, and Double Vanilla cake in the final dice-shaped tier, Double Vanilla Buttercream brings it all together beneath Vanilla Marshmallow Fondant! NOMNOM! This cake was so much fun to create and definitely one of my top favorites!
This bad boy was waaay too much fun to create! The bottom tier is chocolate caramel chipl cake filled with a milk chocolate heath bar studded whipped mousse, the middle tier is oreo cookies and creme cake... filled with a vanilla whipped mousse strewn with crushed oreos, the top tier is a luscious toffee peanut butter cake filled with a whipped toffee peanut butter mousse and crushed butterfinger pieces! The tiers are covered in marshmallow fondant and the film, reels, and film canister are made entirely of chocolate clay! NOMNOM!
Vanilla cake is filled and frosted with Vanilla Buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant! The top tier is a heart-shaped pokeball and bordering the bottom tier are more tiny handpainted pokeballs! NOMNOM!
Inspired by MGMT's hit song of a similar name (and very minimal sleep), this cake provided many lessons for me! The bottom tier is Lemon Raspberry swirl Cake filled with Vanilla Buttercream and Raspberry Gelee. The top tier is a flavor inspired by Pilsbury's Orange Breakfast Rolls... The layers are filled with Cream Cheese Buttercream. The cake is crumbcoated in White Chocolate Ganache and completely covered in Vanilla Marshmallow Fondant. The cake showcases Black Anenomes of Chocolate Clay, a grunge-style harlequin silver diamond pattern, royal icing damask stenciling, and hand-beaded black swirl details and butterflies
After doing my first all buttercream wedding cake, I kicked it up a notch and moved forward with an Indian themed cake. Completely covered in MMF and handpainted, (including the lotus flower on top!) this two tier lemon cake with cream cheese buttercream was probably the most fun for me to create!
After my mediocre first attempt..(the fleur de lis cake), I decided to just dive in headfirst and tackle the monster that is wedding cake. Not too bad for now, but I'm sure I'll improve! Bottom tier is raspberry swirl cake with cream cheese buttercream and the top tier is lemon cake with lemon cream cheese buttercream. The entire cake is covered and detailed with vanilla buttercream
I've never frosted a cake with buttercream without shrouding it in MMF. I also tried my hand at piping a swirly design and applying a stencil assisted pattern to the top of the cake.
For my cousin's boyfriend, a true craft-beer artisan, I surprised him with a chocolate guiness cake filled with chocolate irish cream buttercream. Before covering the cake, I made vanilla irish cream cake balls and placed them on top of the cake to help give the mmf froth a bubbled appearance. The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant and handpainted with a chocolate clay handle. As with all of my designs thus far, this beer mug was my very first, so the mistakes and sloppiness is very visible!
I made this for my cousin's boss' wife, she's a musician and since her husband gave me free reign for design, I decided to try my hand at a wavy cake and after a first ho-hum attempt, gave piano keys a try once more. Lemon cake is layered with raspberry gelee and cream cheese buttercream, completely covered in marshmallow fondant, chocolate clay and gold detail finish the cake
Lemon, Orange, and Key Lime cake are layered with citrus creamcheese buttercream and carved into a kitten shape before being covered with marshmallow fondant. Handpainted and chocolate clay accessories complete the cake
Layers of chocolate, vanilla, red velvet and golden butter cake are sandwiched with cream cheese buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant and handpainted. The grapes are also painted mmf
I made these pumpkin cakes about 3 months into my cake baking endeavor, I began noticing that my overall fondant smoothness was improving! And I made my very first chocolate clay mouse! The three rear pumpkins are pumpkin cake with cream cheese buttercream and the front pumpkin is sweet potato cake with vanilla caramel buttercream. All of the cakes are covered in marshmallow fondant and handpainted
Having been in the cupcake end of baking, I recently began trying my hand at full-scale cakes this past September and voila! Who'da thunk? I've been caking it up ever since!
Mini keylime cupcakes are flecked with keylime zest and topped with an extra fluffy 'nilla buttercream ribboned with a surprising burst of keylime curd swirled throughout! NOMNOM!
Decadent triple chocolate cake that needs no filling because ...it's just that darn good! Topped off with a creme de menthe buttercream and some sprinklin's of... more chocolate! NOMNOM!
Fresh blueberries, savory strawberries, and sweet mandarin orange pieces & flavors are strewn throughout their blue, red, & yellow counterparts all coming together in a jumble of moist fruity goodness, topped with a luscious creamcheese buttercream; and the presentation's complete with a vanilla marshmallow star! NOMNOM! (these badboys are my absolute FAVORITE! They're just so freaking good!!)
Decadent, rich chocolate cake (made without flour!), is dipped into a rich semi-sweet chocolate ganache which, when stacked together, squish the life out of a defenseless layer of creme de menthe buttercream, only to be finished off with another cloud of minty goodness. I tried to get all artsy and whatnot w/ the lil circles on top... looks like chocolate wins this battle! lol NOMNOM!
I asked each of my little girls what their dream cupcake would be, and here's Mya's! She actually asked for a cupcake with a drawing of a princess on top, but I wanted a real challenge, so I upped the anti and created a princess-shaped mini-cake! A simple 'nilla cake crumb-coated in good 'ole-fashioned 'nilla buttercream and the little lady's dress, arms, and noggin are sculpted from cherry marshmallow fondant! NOMNOM!
Buttery golden cake with butterscotch flecks throughout, filled with a luscious... you guessed it, butterscotch creme and frosted with 'nilla buttercream topped off by a caramelized piece of buttery brownsugar brittle and finally drizzled with butterscotchy bliss. NOMNOM!
My first (and probably last) sheet cake! This was my very first 'go' at stepping into the big-cake world. Not a very good 'go', but I went nonetheless... sigh I call this one... FAILcake - A citrus buttercake filled with orange creme, frosted with a vanilla citrus buttercream and topped with a few chocolate roses and swirls... better luck in the cupcake department!
Rich, double chocolate cake is whipped with chocolatey buttercream and covered in thick dark-chocolate, and topped with marshmallow flowers! NOMNOM!
Swiss chocolate cake is given it's 'just desserts' w/ hints of malted milk and tons of Ghirardelli bits, a filling of ganache creme reminiscent of a milk-chocolate truffle only prepares the cupcake connoisseur for the 3rd chocolate assault on the tastebuds... a luscious layer of semi-sweet fudgey ganache enveloping the tops of these badboys, lending a helping hand to the whopper bits & shards clinging onto these choco-mountains for dear life. Finally,a freaking heaping mound-o-malted milk chocolate buttercream sits atop each of 'em! NOMNOM!
Sweet white cake is dotted with little pockets of dulce de leche and frosted with 'nilla buttercream dressed up w/ dabs of even more dulce de leche ! NOMNOM!
Chocolate cake and 'nilla buttercream are whipped into a frenzy, molded into mini-cupcake shapes, dipped into dark chocolate and colored chocolate, and finally finished off with purdy lil toppins! NOMNOM!
