This is actually the groom's cake I made for my cousins wedding. This cake weighted 85 lbs.
This was the first bride to ask me for black on her wedding cake. I was very excited. I am happy with the results and love the contrast.
I made this cake for my daughter's 7th birthday. The cake is pumpkin spice with vanilla butter cream covered in fondant. I painted on the zebra stripes with black food coloring.
I love to do fun groom's cakes. This groom is a fireman. We decided on a burning building with the bride pulling the groom away. I stacked 3 tiers of 8" square cakes to get the height. The flames are printed on edible paper.
This cake has a diamond impression on two tiers with pearls that I airbrushed silver. The middle tier is plain with a silver and blue ribbon wrapped around it. The cake topper is crystals on wire with gumpaste day lillies to hide the floral picks with hot glue to get the crystals to stay.
This is five tiers of cake with silver rope vines and pink gumpaste roses. I am finally getting comfortable with fondant. I am noticing less wrinkles and air bubbles in my work. Yea!
I am not a big fan of decorating sheet cakes, but when a client lets me have fun with the theme, I think they can be pretty great. This cake was for a western theme family reunion. Strawberry cake with buttercream icing. I just free handed the piping and smoothed to blend. I wanted a rough look, not too perfect. I am happy with the results.
The bride called me the week before her wedding and asked for a cake with royal blue and yellow. She let me come up with the design. I just love the simplicity of the fondant petals all over the cake with a few splashes of royal icing pansies and violets in the requested colors. The cake is only 2 tiers, but I think even for a very simple wedding this made a great center piece.
This cake is covered in fondant and the thin black stripes and bows are in black licorice lace. This cake is featured in the Martha Stewart wedding cake book. I took one tier out, and I think my fondant work needs help, but the idea is there. Thanks for looking.
I printed the green stripes onto wafer paper and wrapped the sheets around the cake and cut them to size. I added a snail trail to cover the seams. (the seams split in the hot dry wind at the outside venue. It made me sad.)
I made this for my cousin's 21st birthday. I made some mistakes, but I learned from them.
Chocolate cake butter cream filling. Covered in fondant to make it look like a dragon. I am donating this cake to my children's school for a silent auction.
White castle with fondant turrets. I donated this cake to my children,s school for a silent auction. I can't wait to see how the bidding goes.
Each tier is frosted in Butter Cream and set on an angle. The Daisies are Fondant. Each tier also had a different flavor of cake and filling: Chocolate w/raspberry filling, Yellow w/ key lime mouse, white w/ pastry cream, and Marble with cookies and cream filling. I am still trying to perfect the picture perfect smooth butter cream icing.
This is my first whimsical cake. Thanks CC for the great instruction article. The cake is iced in butter cream. The decorations are royal icing and fondant.
This is a small cake only 8" and 6" Fondant with bc . Raspberry filling, YUM!
I derailed this train so I could have enough chocolate dipped strawberries to feed all of the guests at the wedding. There is candied pecans for the ballasts and chocolate licorice for the tracks. I used sugar cookies for the wheels. This was a hit at the wedding. I had a blast designing it and putting it together.
There is a red ribbon and red silk roses for accents. I also had three satellite cakes on pedestals off to the side that matched the cake.
Again this is piped on buttercream and smoothed with a papertowel. The butterflies around the boarder are color flow. The lines are not quite as crisp as I had hoped for, but I learned from this experience.
I designed this cake for my younger cousin. He likes to hunt. I piped the icing on and then smoothed with a paper towel. It was quite a hit with all of our family hunters.
This is my first picture post. Now that I have figured it out, I have many more to come. This is a rice krispy treat rocket covered in MMF. The fins are made with sugar cookies. The cakeboard is also covered in MMF. I had so much fun with this cake
