Airbrushed gum paste figures with isolmalt splash on caramel cake.
Groom's cake for a Packers fan. Fondant on sculpted cake airbrushed cheese-look. Gum paste plaque.
Sour cream pound cake covered with fondant (the PS4) and hand-painted gumpaste snacks. I use styrofoam for the base of the snacks, so the couple can keep them as mementos. My son almost ate the Sour Patch Kids as I had them out to dry. Tinted isomalt was used for the beer "spill."
Fall coconut cake. I used large coconut flakes on the top of the layers.
I had to cut one of the layers down from 14" to 12"--the icing did not want to stick to the bare cake. I think it turned out OK, but all I can see is that band around the center where the cake slid on the way to the venue. The venue also had a very narrow spiral staircase to get to the reception room. Stress! Glad they had cocktails!
I married this past May 15 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This was my "race themed" cake. Inside the cake was dark chocolate and vanilla checkerboard with raspberry filling. It had to be transported from Nashville, TN to Indianapolis. It is a miraculous act of God that this cake ever got finished. Note to self: NEVER do your own wedding cake. The orchids were used to represent the winner's wreath. It was a lovely wedding in a private suite at the track.
A cake I made for a wedding to match the bride's dress. The flowers were made of gum paste and the filigree was cut using a Cricut cake design cutter.
The bride chose another bakery to do her wedding cake because I was a beginner, but I was there when the wedding cake was delivered--it was hideous. I was told afterward that there was not a bite of the grooms cake left and almost the entire wedding cake.
I made this cake for a second wedding and the reception was at an Italian restaurant (hence the cans of tomatoes in the background). This is my traditional "go to" decoration when a bride wants a simple buttercream that is not too ornate.
I loved this cake for the Osiana Roses, they open beautifully--these were a bit darker than traditional Osianas, but made for a lovely cake topper. I went a little overboard on the tulle, but it was a rookie mistake. I think this was my 4th wedding cake ever.
My second fondant cake. This one was VERY last minute. The Martha Stewart Letters on the front of the ribbonreally helped the cake convey the 25th Anniversary without having to write on the cake. I found the hydrangea at the grocery store that morning for $2.99--it made the perfect topper. I'm loving fondant more and more.
Originally the bride wanted black icing where the filigree is--I mentioned that her guests would end up with black teeth, so we made the decorations dark chocolate. The inside of the cake was dark chocolate and the icing cream cheese, so the decoration was perfect. Am not a fan of these contrasty wedding cakes, but the red roses tied it all together nicely.
The bride wanted lime green "highlights" to match her colors. The roses were a home run as when they opened they really picked up the lime green color. The longest distance I have ever traveled with a buttercream cake--some settling, but the bride was happy.
The bride wanted an "Old School" look to go with the antique cake topper she found on ebay.
My first attempt at a fondant cake. Thank goodness it was fondant because the venue had it sitting in the bright sun (which made the jewels quite dazzling).
