his was the first wedding cake i ever did!

I think the owner's of Cake Central could publish a book with some of the talent here! Once again, I'm loving this thread!!

cakesbyallison, your cake is soooo cool! I've seen this style before and always liked it, but you've done a great (very professional) job! I'd like to make this cake for my daughter's birthday, but not sure I have the patience!

How do you post a pic in the response? I can't figure this stuff out! OK I'll try this again. The Houston Texans birthday cake in my photos is my favorite.

Pink bunny....I LOVE your palm tree cake! I was just trying to find it yesterday to show my DH. So glad you posted it! I love it. Would also love to attempt it If it's ok???

Everyone's cakes are SO beautiful! I have learned SO much from everyone here! I love this site!
Here is my latest cake I am pretty proud of...I just posted it here last weekend.

I think all cakes here are devine!!! I don't think my cakes stand up to some of the ones you have already posted but, here are my favorites...I couldn't decide...

The first one (Scooby) for my son's 4th birthday and the second one (Jungle) for my nephew's 2nd birthday. Third one is simple but I loved the colors and the Power Ranger foam deco I made myself.

Here is the cake

gegon WoW those cakes are great! I love all the colors and the design is wonderful. Great job.

You guys the cakes that have been posted are so wonderful, they definately give me something to shoot for but i know it would be a long while before i catch up.

Wow such talent!!!

Here is my favorite I think - everyday i change my mind!!

This is my favorite cake thus far and only my second time working with fondant and the first time I have ever done a whimsey cake. I plan to put a fondant bride/groom on top as soon as I get them done. I will update when I do that. It is done with cake dummies so that I can enter it in a local decorating competition at our local fair.

They are all beautiful one day I will some have a fav. I have only been doing decorating for 2 mths. By the way you are all so inspiring. Thank you.

Beautiful cakes everyone!! I am in awe at some of the cakes y'all create!!

Here is mine. My dad LOVES to fish so for his birthday (the 26th of june) I made him a cake with a fisherman on it. The fisherman is done by freehand. I did the S border on top and on the bottom is the shell.

hi im soo glad to catch this thread!! i've only read through page 3 so far but i wanted to post mine before i had to start 2 new cakes today..it was really hard so i also picked 2 pics.the first one is a bassinet cake for my cousins baby shower. it is all edible and was a huge hit!! the second is a cheetah i made from the wilton lamb pan. it is sitting on a full sheet . it was for my daughters bday. i made a practice cheetah the week b4 and my mil thought it was a statuette!! i was stunned!! --compared to most of the other pics posted here i will have to do alot more cakes to get as good as those!! GREAT TOPIC!!!!

This is my absolute favorite. I have this cake on the top of my photo album that I keep in my purse. I made it for a cookout we had at my Dad's.

OMG PRETTYCAKES AND KHALSTEAD!!!

im having to read this thread out of order bcause im in n out of the kitchen and havent managed one n there yet but when i saw those cakes my jaw dropped!! amazing !!!! you amke me want to create something to!!

tabs8774 your cheetah is great, i cant believe thats a cake. My hubby's name is Michael and i told him if we have a daughter we can name her michaela and he thinks i'm crazy. I just refused to name 1 of my boys michael because i didnt want to have a Jr. Your daughters name is really cute.

Tabs8774, I love your bassinet cake. It's soooo pretty!!

Sugarfrosted, you are way to hard on yourself! Your artwork is amazing. I really love how it looks. How in the heck do you just freehand all those animals?

Misseyek, your tea party cake is so adorable. I just love that idea and you did such a great job on it!

Here's a couple of my favorites. It's so hard to pick just ONE!

Courtney

Wow HOW Did you do that? I never understand how people do those 3-D cakes with heads & stuff.... I can understand the basic structure of some, but that dinosaur - that's totally beyond me! And that dragon is the perfect mix between realistic & cute!

Thanks for the nice comments! Well, there is a large central dowel that is screwed onto the bottom board and then there is a plywood board that's in the middle of the head that is screwed onto the top of the central dowel. The top part of the head is cake and the underside is foil hot glue gunned on and covered with fondant. I have since learned that you can use styrofoam for stuff like that and it's easy to carve. I try to use as much cake as possible in all my sculpted cakes.

EVERYONE:

Great jobs! The kids (4,6,7) made lots of comments, saying

"Hey! That's DASH!"
"That's not a cake... it's a baby basket"
We can make that for Daddy!"
"Can we get that cake?"

I just want to be that good! Practice, I guess.

i love this post!! i will have dh upload my favorite cake tomorrow for me.

keep posting those awsome cakes!!

WOW!!! I am amazed by all the wonderful cakes and how long this thread got so quickly.

Here is my newest favorite.

This was my first time making a fondant figurine. It is a full sheet cake for a graduate whose passion is crew rowing. She was just accepted to Ohio University and will be on their rowing team. My boss had commissioned this cake and was completely floored when I delivered it.

I kept finding my boss and coworkere hovering over the cake all day at work.

tabs8774 i bet that doesnt get confusing. My bro's name is mark and i always call my hubby mark or my bro mike. I cant even get that straight so having a son named michael would drive me nuts. besides 1 is enough!. LoL. My 1st child has my hubbys middle name as his middle and my second has my dads middle as his middle and their name is Ryan & Aryn 1st names.

debbie--yea, we call our daughter chaela(kayla) to help relieve some of the craziness but im always calling my dh MICHAEL (he always thinks hes in trouble when i do this ) and my son MIKE(oppisite of what im supposed to call them)

i keep checking on this thread for more of everyones fave and noone alse is posting!!


bumpity bump!!

Tabs,
I'd love to post my picture but I can't seem to attach it. Please check out my photos and my favorite is the white 2 tier with lace points and corneilli. At least it is my favorite today.

Karen

Thanks debbie2881 for your comment on my cakes...I still feel like I have a lot to learn and will keep on aiming to it. All cakes on this thread are wonderful!
