Made this for a couples shower cookout, so I wanted something bright and informal. Buttercream with fondant accents.
I kind of threw this together for my husband for valentine's day. He wanted cupcakes for work and my friend had given me some adorable valentine frog cupcake liners, so this is what he got. Kind of a joke, but I knew the cupcakes would get eaten! I realized belately that the pink trim makes it look more feminie and more like a turban than a crown, but oh well...
Made for a friend's 6-year old nephew. Modeled after a pitcure she gave me of a toy castle he wanted for his birthday. Buttercream icing with fondant accents.
Made for my niece's 10th birthday. Of course, I know how many things are wrong with it, but she and everyone at the party absolutely loved it. I used the cakeboss tutorial and made the towers from paper towel rolls. The cake is a 10" square and 6" round.
First time using rolled buttercream! Definitely learned some lessons for next time, but I was really happy overall.
Made for a friend who LOVES pineapple upside down cake. I hate pineapple, so I made the cupcakes for the rest of us. Decorated them with candy fruit slices and toothpicks to look sort of tropical cocktail-ish.
Made this for a friend of mine who's a kindergarten teacher and took it to her class for her brithday. My first cupcake cake! It was much easier than I expected. Buttercream with Nicco Wafer candy for the polka dots.
Informal wedding cake for a friend. She wanted cooked caramel icing (kind of like fudge), so she knew it wouldn't be smooth. They asked for vines/scrolls with some small wildflower-type flowers. 10 and 8 inch tiers. Caramel fosting with buttercream vines and borders and fondant flowers.
Final Wilton Course 3 cake. My butterceam was too soft and all the layers slide apart on the way to class, hence the horrible icing job. Buttercream icing w/ fondant flowers.
Made these cupcakes for a friend's birthday. He loves German Chocolate, but we were doing a beach theme, so I couldn't resist doing the beachy ones I had seen in the "Baker's Field Guide to Cupcakes" too. I hate we didn't get a good close-up picture, but they are covered in blue buttercream with graham cracker crumbs for sand and topped with an umbrella pick.
Did this for a Wilton course 3 class. Didn't plan out my placement too well...just kind of slapped everything on as we were running out of time. It's buttermilk chocolate cake brushed with blackberry syrup with a whipped ganache filling.
Birthday cake for a friend. White cake with almond flavoring. She wanted fondant in pink and green. I found the ribbon that's along the bottom of the base and used that for inspiration. I've really been wanting to try a bow, so this was a great opportunity to experiment.
Birthday cake I made my nephew. Chocolate cake covered all in fondant. He races go-karts, so I wanted to make a replica of his cart. I used a NASCAR pan my SIL had and cut the top of the cake off. Part of my DH's present to him was his own website, so I put the URL on the hood of the car.
Made this for my husband for valentines day. It was hard to find something that wasn't too feminie., so I finally decided on the converstaion hearts. The bigger one of top is actually a candle.
First cake I've ever decorated outside of Wilton classes (am taking fondant class now). For a friend's 6-yr old whose b-day party was on St. Patrick's day. He LOVES reptiles, hence the alligator/drogon/snake creature guarding the pot of gold. Bottom (blue) is 10" chocolate fudge cake with choc. buttercream under fondant. Pot is yellow cake with buttercream. Reptile is fondant. LOTS of things wrong with it this cake but I was very happy w/it.
