Almost everything on this cake was handmade and edible, including the flowers and leaves; the bling ribbon was not edible. The ruffles and pleats were made using fondant. I've also included a picture of the sketch I made next to the cake; I like to have a picture to reference for all the cakes I make.
Made this awesome owl cake for a repeat customer's birthday... her hubby told me, "She likes owls," and that's it. So I found a picture of a super cool owl cake topper online and used that as my inspiration to make this one-of-a-kind owl cake! Everything on it was edible... even the flowers on top.
Looks like 3-tiers, but is actually a 6-tier cake... 3 double-stacked tall tiers all decorated with fondant and adorned with a large sugar stargazer lily, ribbon and real brooch
3-tier round cake covered with fondant, hot pink fondant ribbon detail, black piped swirls, decorated with sugar peonies that I learned to make by taking a class on Craftsy.com - the Classic Sugar Flowers class with Nicolas Lodge. Took my flowers to a whole new level!
All-white wedding cake decorated with fondant; top tier was double chocolate, middle strawberry cream cheese, bottom golden butter with vanilla... yummy!
My daughter helped me deliver this cake. After we set it all up she said, "It makes me want to go to the beach!" haha! Yes! The flowers and palm branches are gumpaste; all over decorating done in fondant. The tier sizes are 5" round on top, two 6" rounds stacked together and an 8" round on bottom. Probably fed about 50-ish people.
My hubby's cousin found a picture of a cake on Pinterest that she loved and asked me to recreate it in different colors. I liked the flower on the Pinterest cake better, but this was a freebie, and with four other cakes that weekend, I was a bit pressed for time... LOL! Everything is edible, though, made of fondant and gumpaste.
10" square cake covered with fondant and hand-painted to resemble RealTree (c) camouflage pattern. Browning (c) logo made of gumpaste.
Butter pecan cake frosted, covered/decorated with fondant; detail on purse hand-painted.
Four 10" square cakes, each decorated with coordinating colors and designs - tops to look like baby blocks and spell out the baby boy's name, Zayd. One cake was choc/choc ganache, white/strawberry, strawberry/lemon and choc/raspberry. Top image of course is the sketch I made originally and bottom is actual cake on display
This cake was TOTALLY inspired, and darn near copied (although not as well) from a picture uploaded (that I saved to my faves) of a cake by Cakesue here on Cake Central. Hers is called "3D baby resting on a pillow," and it was uploaded in January of 2011. I have saved it and loved it and finally had a chance to try my hand at recreating it... like I said, I still like hers better, but it was fun to try. I'm most proud of my baby, though. I didn't use a mold to make it, because it was short notice and I didn't have time to order one... so I made this little baby out of gumpaste with my own fingers and a sharp stick... haha... and after about 10 tries, I got it right :-) All the other decorations are fondant. Thanks for looking!
Made for a little girl's 6th birthday; cupcakes were frosted with buttercream and decorated with fondant sea creatures; cake was 3-layer 8" round chocolate cake with cookies-n-cream filling, frosted with buttercream, decorated with fondant coral and seaweed. Ariel is a doll; her legs are down inside the cake. The rock is made of cereal treats covered with fondant; her tail is also made of fondant, but it's marshmallow fondant, so it's yummy! My kids would eat that whole tail they love MMF so much! Anyway, thanks for looking!!! I had great fun making this one because I've loved The Little Mermaid ever since it came out for the first time in 1989 when I was just 9 years old!!! Oh, Flounder was also MMF :-)
Okay, so I went a little nuts on the scrolls... I actually liked the cake better before I added them... nonetheless, I'm a huge fan of these ruffle flowers... so easy to make and so incredibly fun and funky!!! Thank you, Sophie Bifield, whose picture on Facebook started it all :-)
Offset square tiers, decorated with cornflower and marine blue and white; double-heart motif; edible butterflies; blue flowers are edible; large white lilies were silk, provided by the bride
Made this for my oldest daughter's 7th birthday! Everything is edible. Pegasus unicorn mother and baby hand-crafted.
Mater cake was half chocolate, half white, frosted with vanilla buttercream, covered/decorated with fondant, some gumpaste accents, "rust" hand-painted, entire cake hand carved/sculpted - everything you see is edible!
But this is the first monkey cake I've ever done :-) Cake design inspired by birthday invitations. All decorations done in fondant and buttercream; monkey made of modeling chocolate; 1 is a candle
Top tier was double chocolate fudge; bottom tall tier was actually two 8" round tiers, one was strawberry vanilla, one was lemon cream! All decorations made of fondant, except the feathers, of course.
Sexy red and black bustier cake made for a bridal shower where lingerie was the focus of the party! Chocolate cake, half with raspberry filling, half with vanilla filling; bustier was made of cake as well, then frosted, covered and decorated with fondant. Accented with zebra stripes and red ruffles to go with the shower decorations.
Made for my sister's wedding... 6, 8 and 9 inch rounds, covered with fondant, hand-painted sides, sugar anemones on top.
Baby shower cake for a mom expecting twin girls... everything is fondant; baby blocks are RKT.
Round tiers: 12, 9 and 6. Handmade sugar rose on top. Everything was done freehand - no cutters, templates or stencils used.
"I'm sorry! Please don't eat me!" This bad little kitty cat got caught in the act, and now it's time for dessert! He's chocolate cake all the way through, layered with chocolate ganache filling, frosted with vanilla buttercream, covered with fondant and hand-painted with food coloring. He was about 8 inches tall and 12 inches wide.
Cake is covered with fondant; lace design is pale orange, so barely visible, but was done using a stencil and royal icing; flowers are made of gumpaste; cake topper monograms also made of gumpaste, and if it had been up to me, I would have left them off... I wish now I had gotten a picture without them because I liked the cake better without them... but it still turned out alright... I hope they were happy.
Trying again!
Top tier vanilla cake, middle red velvet, bottom chocolate, all filled/frosted w/vanilla buttercream, covered/decorated with fondant. Characters were bought from Disney Store online. Everything else is edible.
