Ladybugs And Butterflies

Copied this from BOWEEN. Not really sure I did it justice but was very pleased with the results and the lady loved it.

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Cake

Thru this together last night and i was really pleased with the outcome. Used the invitation for inspiration. Can't really tell from the picture but Strawberry Shortcake is sculpted out of MMF on the top of the cake. TTFL.

Lightning Mcqueen Cake

Made this following Nati's Cakes tutorial. Marble cake sculpted and CC with BC and MMF. Was actually fun to make and only took about 3 hours total. Next time I will probably outline the "95" and lightning bolt on the side with black BC but otherwise I think it turned oupretty good! TFL! Tires were formed using rice krispie treats covered with MMF.

3-D Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

Literally threw this together over the weekend while I was visiting my family back home (they live 5 hours away). It was my niece's birhtday and my sister asked me at the last minute if I could do it. I forgot all my tools but it still turned out pretty good. Thanks to Kitagrl for inspiration (hers is actually better). Hello Kitty is sitting on a 9X13 cake. HK was sculpeted out of (2) 8" round cakes and covered with MMF. Head of Hello Kitty was made out of rice krispies and covered with fondant. TFL!

Close-Up Of Jo Jo's Circus Birthday Cake

Here is a close-up shot of the cake. TFL!

Jo Jo's Circus

Did this for another friend's daughter's birthday. Jo Jo and Goliath are both made out of gumpaste (most first attempt at doing figures on a cake using gumpaste). Cake was yellow, filled with buttercream and covered with MMF. Tent was constructed using rice krispie treats for the dome, supported with dowels at the center and four corners and then covered in MMF. Balloons are gumpaste supported with wire. I also did Jo Jo cupcakes for the kids and regular cupcakes for the parents. TFL!

Purple Kitty

Did this for a friend's daughter. It was her second birthday and she loves purple and kitties. Got the idea from a couple other cakes here on CC. Cake was chocolate with buttercream filling and covered with MMF. TFL!

Soccer Saturday 2007

This is a cake I basically threw together in about 2 hours for our neighborhood Soccer Saturday celebration. Was a little tought decorating the ball but I think it turned out pretty good by hiding the bottom with "grass". Goals are made out of white chocolate I piped over a cardboard form - a little brittle but worked pretty good! TFL!

Rainbow Trout Cake #3

I finally got to make another fish cake - another Rainbow Trout. This time covered in fondant. Fins are gumpaste. A few lessons learned but turned out good for the most part. I got the idea of using chocolate fondant for a wood board looking to decorate the cake board from another cake or two on CC. TFL!

Cars Birthday Cake

Copied another CC member (Ishi). Thanks! I was going to use toys for the cars but decided to mold them out of chocolate. I think it turned out pretty good except I have to check my perspective on the size of my cacti next time. Lots of fun to make!

Sponge Bob Cake 2006

I made this cake for my DS 3rd Birthday. I used color flow to make the hands and feet so they were sticking out.

Concrete Mixer

This is a cake I did for my DH for one of his employees. I freehanded the mixer from my husbands engineer brochures from work.

Birthday Cake For Mil - Jan. 2005

Made this quick cake for my MIL in January of 2006.

Turkey From Wilton 1 Class

This is the cake I made in November 2005 for my Witon 1 class. Thanks for looking.

Wilton Class 2 - 2005

Easter Basket 2006

This is an Easter basket cake I made for Easter 2006. Turned out pretty good but I think I would do the "handle" differently. I wrapped cardboard in foil and frosted the top buttercream.

American Idol Cake

Here is my version of an American Idol cake. Its designed for the cake to be the American Idol stage. Cake is marble frosted in buttercream with fondant and gumpaste accents. The figurine is molded out of chocolate (I created a mold from a polly pocket doll). The microphone on the upper stage on the right is made of fondant wrapped rice krispy treats. Thanks for looking!

Princess Cake

I made this from the tutorial from CC for my DD first Birthday in April.

Back Side Of Thomas / Rail Road Crossing Cake

Here is the backside of the cake. Enjoy!!

Thomas & Rail Road Crossing

My son wanted a "gate crossing" cake for his birthday. I brainstormed with my husband and got inspired from a few cakes I seen on CC. Came up with this. Bottom is a double 10" with BC covered with MMF, top layer is double 6" frosted with BC and covered with MMF. Made the "tunnel" with rice krispies covered with MMF. Trees are all gumpaste with MMF stones, BC grass & flowers. I think it turned out great but the pictures don't really capture its true beauty.

Rainbow Trout

This is the third fish cake I have done - a raindow trout. Again, sculpted cake, frosted with BC and fondant fins/gills, etc.

Walleye

This is one of my popular cakes. It is a Walleye cake sculpted from a 11x17 pan. I fill the stomach cavity with tapioca pudding & gummi worms. Covered with BC frosting with fondant fins/gills, etc. I use white frosting and paint the fish with foodcoloring.

Concrete Mixer

This was my fist attempt of using fondant to create a 3-D cake for my husbands coworker (at Oshkosh Truck). I did this in 2005 and think it turned out pretty good. The front cab is frosted and sculpted out of buttercream. The drum was sculpted, frosted in buttercream and covered in fondant. Used Wilton fondant that I was tough to work with. Please don't ask for instructions because I don't have any. Thanks for looking!

Sesame Street Friends

Saw these on CC from many others and had fun making them for a group birthday celebration. Very easy and fun!
