Thank you to farnazmom3 and pattyasken for their advice! This was about 18 inches tall; 4 tiers of 9" rounds, with a rice crispie treat neck. I only had to redo the neck about a zillion times, and decided to "hide" the mistakes with a longer wrapper around the neck. The client was so jazzed! And, it made the hour plus trip with minimal damage...nothing a little gel could not fix.
3 tier square MMF covered wedding cake (and MMF shells). I really loved how this turned out...simple and elegant. Lemon cake with fresh raspberry filling.
Marble cake with buttecream, and lots of MMF accents on sides and top of cake. Made for my friend's granddaughter, who was turning 13 and wanted a maroon and black cake. Friend was very happy it didn't look morose with such dark colors.
I would like to thank the fine folks of ShopBakersNook.com for having such wonderful service. I bought the flowers premade, but did color them myself. Small 50 serving cake, yellow with whipped cream; carrot with cream cheese, chocolate with raspberry mousse. I could not find my #1-5 tips, so I used this to make the scrolls. Where have all my tips gone? Argh.
Well, this is what I worked on for 2 days straight. The couple wanted a "rustic" look to this cake, for it to not look "like a Disney castle". We came up with a couple of sketches, and this is the result! The "cove" is white chocolate covered rice cripies, and the 3 tiers of cake are pineapple coconut, key lime, & orange. All MMF, pearl dust, carved for brick effect. Top of cake is MMF covered rice crispie topper. White chocolate shells with dusts, and brown sugar around cake edges.
3 layer dark chocolate cake with coconut pecan filling; covered with chocolate icing. Fondant decorations, and greenery added to the cake to jazz it up a bit.
This was a fun cake for a very fun bride. Outdoor wedding, very humid, but the buttercream held up just fine. Fondant ribbon draping cake, and lots of flower petals and a few roses tucked into the cake. Coconut pineapple cake with coconut filling; buttercream icing; dark ivory and light ivory with burgundy accents.
Fondant covered white cake with lemon and blackberry filling. Fondant shells and emerald green ribbon.
This is a less fuzzy version of a cake I uploaded earlier (but have since deleted). Chocolate shells in different ivory shades; two-tone ivory buttercream with wave accents. White cake and strawberry puree filling. Shell topper.
This wedding cake order was referred to me from CandyladyHelen (thank you!); basic beach cake with lots of chocolate shells.
A present cake based off a picture the client sent me for a first birthday cake. Did a smash cake to match. All MMF, covering cake and the bow as well.
2 tier flourless chocolate tortes coated with a ganache, and then wrapped with marbled chocolate collars. Decorated with dark chocolate fish, and trimmed with a little whipped ganache.
3 tier cake with lemon poppyseed, coconut, and white chocolate layers with champagne filling. Handmade fondant beading, and my first fondant bow!
Based on a picture the bride loved...the original had a ribbon as the topper. 3 tier cinnamon vanilla and white cakes with cream cheese fillings. Looked lovely against the soft yellow walls of the room. I did a "leafy" border on the bottom of each tier to match the leaves throughout the design.
3 tier Red Velvet Cake with buttercream icing. Gumpaste leaves, and pearl border on top tier. I could not find the leaf cutters I needed in time, but found wood leaf stencils, and cut around them. Tedious, but I had good results.
A translucent gold polka-dotted ribbon over an orange ribbon wrapped the bottom of each tier. I was going to do gold-dusted pearls, but just went with white pearls...the gold looked like too much. The toppers were hard to fit, but I managed, and even stuck in the orange silk flowers the bride wanted also. Not my favorite design, but I think I made it work. Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling. Buttercream icing.
I suggested a dummy layer for the bottom to give this cake more height. Just a simple stacked tier, smooth buttercream with some piped stars, and a blue fondant ribbon. Chocolate cake with fresh strawberry filling. The wedding party arrived at the restaurant very early, so I had 25 people watching me set this up! Bride and groom very happy with this simple cake. I loved the topper...it's a wooden figurine.
This was a fun cake to do! I was asked to duplicate a wedding cake (a smaller version) from a black and white photo. My husband did a great job editing the photo so I could see the details better. Lots and lots of piping. Cinnamon vanilla and chocolate cake layers.
This was the first birthday cake I've done delivered to a wedding reception. It was the flower girl's birthday, and the dots matched her dress...fondant dots over buttercream-iced carrot cake with cream cheese filling.
A 3-D carved cake placed on top of full square base. It's the Wake Forest University Demon Deacon mascot. All buttercream, and mostly star-tip decorating.
This was just a fun cake to do! Four tiers...all buttercream icing and some fondant and gumpaste decorations (fish, marinelife, marine plants). The groom is a commercial fisherman and apparently does a lot of leisure fishing too!
I asked for help a couple weeks ago with what size tiers and pillars I needed to buy for this....thank you all! Fondant covered, with edible pearls, and fresh flowers (which I got to arrange..so fun!). I had to rebake the middle tier at the last minute, because of a giant crack in the top. But all ended well! The family watched me put this together, and were so happy with the results!
A clearer picture of one I had posted earlier. 4 tier chocolate ganache and fondant "peeling" from each layer. A replica of an Edible Arts (Raleigh, NC) cake that the bride fell in love with. She was so happy with it...she said it was as good as the picture!
This is one of the 3 cakes I did this past weekend. There are about 750 edible pearls on this. Layers are Raspberry Buttermilk, Mocha, and Cinnamon Vanilla cakes.
Fun with fondant!
This was an all lemon poppyseed cake, with buttercream and fondant light green pearls. The topper has been used in the bride's family for 60 years...the reception was held where I was married five years previously, so I was kinda sentimental about this cake.
