Made these cupcakes to match a Chica (from Sprout) themed birthday party. The nests are broken mini pretzel sticks, coated in chocolate, filled with green colored shredded coconut. The eggs are Cadbury Easter chocolates.
Cake for a friend's daughter. She provided the pre-made cake topper sheet w/ photo and I designed the rest of the cake decoration to match.
1st Birthday Smash Cake for a friend's daughter. The cockscomb and mouth were molded RKT covered in chocolate clay.
Base Cake is French Vanilla with Raspberry Filling and Vanilla Buttercream. The Cross is French Vanilla with Vanilla Custard & Chocolate Chips. The Roses and Lettering were Chocolate Clay. After I placed down the Chocolate Clay Letters, I steamed them down onto the foiled cake board.
Happy Birthday to me I didn't do any baking! Juniors Cheesecakes (eatery in NYC, famous for their cheesecakes) which I stacked and covered in chocolate ganache and decorated with my version of Poppies and vines made from gumpaste with fondant centers.
Cupcake Sundaes! Yellow cake with vanilla and chocolate ganache frostings, topped with Maraschino cherries and a Tootsie Roll stem.
This is the inside of the Daisy Cake Box in my gallery. My sister-in-law said all she wanted for her birthday was my Lemonade Cake Truffles. But what about the guests? (She didn't want to share the truffles!) So I made these to go inside the cake box (sitting above the cake on the lower level of the box).
Happy Birthday to My Sister-In-Law. Lemon Cake Filled with Lemon Curd and Vanilla Frosting in a Chocolate Clay Box with Fondant Accents. And a Chocolate Bowl Filled with Raspberry Topping. The Lid was RKTs, which the kids devoured because the lemon cake was not their cup of tea!
For my Jack The Lego King to share with his classmates for his 6th birthday. Chocolate Lego Minifigures and Bricks surrounded by M&Ms.
For my son Jack's (a/k/a The Lego King) 6th birthday. Each brick had a different flavor inside ... chocolate chocolate, chocolate with vanilla cream and yellow with vanilla pudding and mini choc chips. The Minifigures, the small Bricks, the dots on the large Bricks and Jack's name were all solid chocolate. The large cake Bricks were covered with modeling chocolate (or chocolate clay).
Stefanie (my niece): "Jack (my son), since you're having your cake on MY birthday, I'm having the second pisacake." Jack: "I'm not having a pizza cake." Stefanie: "No, Jack. I'm having the second pisacake." Jack: "I'M NOT HAVING A PIZZA CAKE STEFANIE!!!" Well, I just couldn't resist, so I had to make a pizza cake for Stefanie :) And the work was worth the big smile on her face when I gave it to her. (Fondant crust, red frosting, white chocolate "mozzarella", chocolate "pepperoni" and "olives".)
For my husband whose been doing magic since he was about 5 years old. Table is vanilla cake filled w/ cannoli cream. Hat is triple layer chocolate cake w/ raspberry filling. All covered in fondant and decorative accents are fondant, except for the coins.
For my nephews first birthday.
Favors For My Nephew's Christening Party. Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Poured Vanilla Icing On Top For A Flat Surface To Sit The Gumpaste Flower Babies.
Made for my nephew's 1st birthday. He's in LOVE with Mickey. White cake with vanilla pudding and chocolate chip filling, covered in white chocolate ganache and MMF. The matching smash cake was white with smoothed out chocolate frosting coated in melted black frosting with black chocolate modeling clay ears. And the cake topper was MMF. TFL :)
Thanks so much to Ambrene and eatCakes for the inspiration! My Mom LOVES owls, so I knew I had to create this cake for her one day. She just had a very special birthday and this represents me and she in a nest. The cake is triple layer chocolate cake with cherry and chocolate mousse filling, covered in chocolate ganache and chocolate shavings for the nest effect. The owls are chocolate cakes with marshmallow fluff filling. The feathers are white fondant and chocolate clay.
My first attempt at making roses from chocolate clay. Loved doing it. Looking forward to attempting other flowers, colors and application. I made these and left them on my Mom's kitchen table for her to see when she returned home from a hospital stay.
For My Nephew's Christening Party. My first large, multiple level, fondant covered cake. I experienced some fondant bubbling for the first time, but still felt it came out lovely. The flower and baby topper, and the rosary are gumpaste. The rest is all fondant. TFL!
The bugs are from Hello Cupcake! These are chocolate cupcakes with buttercream dipped in "dirt", which is of course finely ground oreo cookie. And then "dirt" sprinkled on the plate along with gummy worms. Just a fun little treat for the kids in my family. TFL!
I owe this piece to a fellow CCer - Allris! Thank you so much for the inspiration. I chose your masterpiece as a favorite sometime ago because I knew it would be perfect for my very Italian MIL's very Italian significant other. Mine doesn't compare, but I am pretty happy with how it came out as it was my very first barrel cake and a significant step up to my previous mostly "Wilton" style work. Thank you Allris! It's a four layer white cake with vanilla pudding and cannoli cream fillings. The barrel and grapes are fondant. The grape leaves and oval sign are gumpaste. The bottle is RKTs covered in chocolate clay, then wrapped in fondant. The grape vines and rings around the barrel are Tootsie Roll. And thank you to all the CCers out there who constantly and unselfishly share their wealth of knowledge and advice!
A sample cupcake topper for my SIL's christening party. Thank you to my fellow CCers for their generous help and advice. Love you guys!
My Mom was feeling jealous about all the cakes I've been making for other people, so I made these for her during her last visit. The plain are just chocolate. The ones with sprinkles are chocolate w/ coconut. And the white drizzle are chocolate with cherries. Yummy!!! Thank you Bakerella and my fellow CCers for the ideas and the help :)
Made These Hello Cupcake! Ducks For My Friend's Baby Shower.
This cake was more impressive in person. However, I do regret not decorating the cake board, as I feel it was too plain. Clouds would have been nice. Also, I've realized since joining CC that I made the mistake of refrigerating my fondant covered cakes - thus the uneven shine. AND it was my LAST TIME using Wilton's yucky fondant, now that I've discovered MMF! Thank you CCers, you are THE BEST!!!!!
