I made this cake for a 21st birthday. I used color flow icing to create the stars and numbers, gumpaste for the olives and streamers, and fondant for everything else.
I made this cake for a Dad who loves The Simpsons. I got the idea from a few other CCers. It was very fun to create!
I was asked to make a chef hat cake, for someone who was graduating from culinary school. It was fun to make!
I got this idea from a couple of CCers. I thought it would be way easier than it was. I had never tried a book before, it definitely was not as easy as I thought.
This cake was a lot of fun to do. The couple was celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary, which is the wooden year. So, the wife decided the cake should look like the gag gift that she gave to her husband, which was an actual piece of wood. I covered the cake in chocolate fondant, and used food coloring to create the darker areas. The ladybugs and flowers are also fondant. The grass was royal icing.
The basketball is covered with Satin Ice fondant (my personal fav). This was my first attempt at creating a fondant net. I learned a lot.
Not sure of anyone else experienced this same sort of problem, but I keep getting request from people to make the same cake designs over and over again. For me it gets extremely boring. Has anyone figured out a way to get deal with this issue?
I made this cake for a friend's baby shower. The lid is fondant covered styrofoam, but I couldn't figue out for the life of me how to get the lid to stand up like other CCers have done with cakes with lids. If anyone out there knows, please clue me in:)
I made this cake for a 50th birthday party that was held at a day spa. The theme was pamering party. The head is fondant covered styrofoam. The tube is gumpaste, but everything else is buttercream.
I got this idea from a couple CCers, but the gumpaste ballet slipper was way more difficult than I assumed. The cake is covered in buttercream.
I made this cake for my mom who was having a retirement/bon voage party. She moved to Florida and so I got some ideas from other CCers around palm trees and the like. It actually looked much better than this, but unfortunately the dumb men who carried the cake from the car to the venue, mishandled it, and it actually began to crack on the bottom layer:(. We had to turn it to the back and make some quick adjustments so the guest wouldn't notice. I knew I should have taken it in myself, lesson learned!
I got the idea for this cake from another CCers. The color scheme was based off the bridal shower invitation, which were coral, brown, and creme. The bow was gumpaste.
I made this cake for a first birthday. But, I think it could easily have been used for a bridal shower. I got the idea from another CCer. Bows are gumpaste.
I made this cake for a girl's night out, but had n idea what I would come up with. The women were made in run-on icing. The bows were Satin Ice fondant.
This gumpaste shoe was not the best, but I tried to dress it up as best as possible. The shoe box is covered in Satin Ice.
I made this cake for my 1 year old on the same day I made the stacked princess pillow cake for my older daughter ( a double birthday party). It didn't turn out nearly as well as I thought I would, probably because I had been awake baking, cooking, cleaning and decorating the cakes for 22 hours. The horses are made from gumpaste, the cakes are covered in fondant.
I made this cake for my duaghter's 4th Birthday party at home. The tiara is made from gumpaste, but everything else is covered in Satin Ice fondant.
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday party at school. I used the Wilton doll head, but I really wasn't satisfied with how generic the doll head looked. It I have the opportunity to make it again, I think I will use a real Barbie.
I made this cake for a boy who loves power rangers. I got the idea from this site, and bought a styrofoam head from the local beauty supply store. The CCers on this site made it look so easy, boy was I wrong. This was my first time working with styrofoam. I have a lot to learn.
I covered this cake with Satin Ice fondant. All accents and characters including light post are edible. This was my first "biggie", complete with a personalized cake base, which I think made all the difference. I was pretty pleased with the way it came out. I had a little left over batter so I threw in a smash cake for the baby.
I covered this cake with black Satin Ice fondant. The chain and charm was made with white fondant and silver dragees, then painted with nu silver luster dust and silver gliiter platinum dust. This was my first time using Satin Ice fondant and I was very pleased with it. It was a little more forgiving than MMF.
The dinosaur is covered in MMF fondant, but the other cake is iced in buttercream. I snagged this idea from Debbie Brown's book for a little guy who loves dinosaurs.
I got a request for a Tiffany Blue and Chocolate brown baby shower cake and this is what I came up with. I actually got the idea from Colette Peters Wedding Cakes " Chocolate Fantasia" cake. It didn't look much like a baby shower cake, but they wanted the theme to look like a sophisticated tea party. I think it came out well. The cake is covered in buttercream, with modeling chocolate accents.
I am finally getting the hang of this pillow cake thing! This is my best one yet, but I am still learning.
