This flower turned out to be about 8 inches in diameter, fairly close to the size of a small magnolia.
This cake was made for a ribbon cutting ceremony for our local micro-brewery, Lazy Magnolia, thus the gumpaste magnolias and the pilsner of beer. The beer was molded rice krispie treat wrapped in fondant.
Made of white chocolate. First time working with this kind of modeling "clay". Fun to work with.
This was made for a silent auction at an elementary school. The dress is my fondant rendition of a ballgown from the 1840's.
Cupcakes for daughter's Kindergarten class. Got the idea of hens from Good Housekeeping. Used a boiled frosting for the hens, when it dried it was easier to eat than hardened royal icing and held up better than a glob of buttercream in the sun (outdoor party in the South). The nest is made of canned chinese noodles.
Barbie's fish tail is made of gumpaste and fondant, making it appear that she sits on the cake. She is actually stuck into the center as requested by my 6 yr old. The shells are moulded chocolate and the coral is royal icing. All is theoretically edible except for Barbie herself.
This was my first wedding cake. As the groom was very active in the local Camillia Society, I had planned on using fresh camillias. But they would not be available for an Oct. date, so I created them from gumpaste as close to the coloring and size as I could. There are 25 varieties represented. Real branches were used to lend an authentic look to the flowers. The cake was covered in rolled fondant.
This is the back of the cake. The bells were representative of the nine zimblesterne bells on our church organ. The bells complete with swinging clappers were handmade from gumpaste and painted with gold petal dust. They were attached to gold wires so they would "ring". The cascade of rolled fondant was embossed with musical notes. The cake table was covered in pages of music for which Dame Wier is acclaimed.
This cake was created for Dame Gillian Wier, an English organist, who gave a concert at our church. The organ pipes, handmade from gumpaste and painted with silver petal dust, represented the various styles of pipes on our organ. The trumpets at the top were made from royal icing and painted with copper petal dust. (The back of the cake is the following photo.) The cake is actually in a "figure eight shape" composed of two 12', two 9" and two 6" rounds and an oval topper. All is covered in rolled fondant.
