Fondant strips laid on round cakes. No time to do the balls, drove 12 hours to deliver it.
February, 2011 Connecticut Cake Competition Blue-Ribbon winner - Theme of show was 'Things from the South'. Cake dummy with fondant, rice-krispies hills, buttercream grass. Molding chocolate for characters & trees done by my friend Julie Q. Keyboard is foam covered in fondant. Music was printed on a fondant sheet.
Gum paste Calla Lilies, white chocolate shells, fondant balls. My first-ever attempt at calla lilies, no time to practice with only one week's notice of the wedding!
Buttercream frosting
Used Sculpey for Tree of Life - the owner was able to hang it on the wall at the bar. Buttercream frosting.
Used doll house furniture. Buttercream, paper cut-outs of Dory.
Buttercream frosting, silk butterfly confetti pieced together with beads on floral wire.
Sculpey fence, Lindt truffles for the path. I used truffles because of her husband's ties to them at his job.
Buttercream - I used graham crackers to form the hut, and natural sugar for the sand on the beach.
A friend does civil war reenactments - buttercream frosting.
I made this for a 40th birthday. I used Sculpey for the fence, gravestones and wheel barrow.
My daughter was headed to college, and the mascot is a Beaver. All buttercream.
All buttercream - I used the round fondant cutters as a guide to make the circles round.
Disclaimer: I give the customer what they want! I would never choose these colors, but the bride wanted something bold. All buttercream, with all silk flowers.
All buttercream, silk flowers mixed with real roses on the top.
This was my first-ever time touching fondant. It took me over 3 hours to hand-roll the balls, and I didn't know anything about hiding the plates. If I could have a 'do-over', I would use cardboard underneath the tiers (as I did on my Western wedding cake), and have a cut-out for the balls! I eyeballed each one and went by feel. I'm amazed that they all came out so even!
My second attempt at Fondant - I used fabric cording around the base of the tiers. To make the cowboy hats, I used an oval fondant cutter and molded the tops of the hats by pushing fondant up through the center from the underside.
