@ Conniem, Bettercreme is an imitation whipped topping. Just like Frostin Pride, Pastry Pride and others. If you have a Smart & Final store they do carry it as well.
@ SwissyKitty, Very pretty cake.
I usually have to make my own cake if I want one. Since I work as a pastry chef, the usual response I get is "yours would be better than anything we buy". Whatever .
So, I like Opera Torte and cakes similar to that. The last one I make was made up of chocolate chiffon, a dacquoise of pecans, cinnamon and espresso, coffee butter cream and chocolate butter cream
My birthday cake: pina colada cake with pineapple cream cheese filling, coconut rum butter-cream, not flavors that anyone in my family would have bought for me ( if they could find this combination). It was yummy and exactly what I wanted!
Orange and hot pink are one of my favorite color combinations.

Oh Mmm Gee, that looks and sounds AMAZING!! I want a piece!
Ah I did my 50th birthday cake a few years back. Since I've not a had a birthday party since I turned 21 I was adamant I was going to have one and to that end set about creating my own cake to go with my themed party, which was Bollywood! But alas my imagination isn't as good as others so I copied one from a book, can't remember where I saw it but I saved it off the internet. The wires were a bit uneven but you get the gist of it.
Hi Sugarsweets, wondering the glossy finish, did you use the steamer for that? I ask as I have to make a masquerade mask and want some of it glossy. Cheers
I was away this year for my birthday so I didn't make one. Only started making cakes in April last year so didn't make one last year either. My other half bought me a supermarket cake this year though whilst we were away.. Typical DRY (BONE DRY) Madeira cake with white fondant and balloons. ERGH! I honestly will NEVER buy a shop bought cake ever again. I could bake a cake blind and it would still taste better!
"Gold Star Mom": I'm guessing that the larger figure is a self-portrait, and the smaller one is the Grim Reaper, trying to sneak up?
Yes, great guess! I had a double mastectomy after my son was KIA, and I always feel like Grim is sneaking around, so it just clicked when I wanted to make my own bday cake for the first time. I've always made them for my boys, but never for myself. I laugh every time I look at it! It's all buttercream, except the fondant decorations. I added ladybugs at the last minute! Yep, minding my own beeswax, and Grim just sneaking around!
Oh, I feel the same way. The pictures from the beginning show me how far I have come. I still have a long ways to go but grateful for where I'm at. :-)

AI've never done a cake for my birthday, but next year I just might lol. I'm still thinking up some ideas and its either going to be a cae with lots of roses or aake with butterflies or an under the sea cake. I'm sure I'll change my mind again by the time january rolls around.
My B-Day cake . Love all things NES.
Cherry Chip cake (guilty pleasure) - this was my first time using the WASC recipe subbing my fave flavour.
The Controllers are white velvet cake I had left over in the freezer. Greys and red are MMF, black fondant - Satin Ice. The writing was red food colouring mixed with icing sugar (it worked!! no royal icing needed!)
Did I put enough buttercream!! It was also my first attempt at IMBC.. I had read somewhere that it tasted like ice cream so... the more the merrier right!?!
AThis was my birthday cake from a couple of years ago. White Amaretto with mango filling. Haven't decided what I'm doing this year but something with blackberries for sure. Sorry about the pic quality.
