This was a fun birthday cake for a new teen!
The bride wanted the cake to be two toned. I air brushed the golden color (looks like peach!). The problem with airbrushing like that is that I couldn't fix any smudges, etc at the reception hall. So...I covered a lot with flowers. It apparently was OK cause I got a report of a lot of "AHHhhhhs" when they turned a light on over the cake and many MEN were apparently going on about it. Go figure!
Being from Kentucky, there always has to be a cake for a Kentucky Derby Party. This represents the hot air balloon races that are held every year during the Derby celebration
This is another scanned picture so quality not the best! This was a fun one with royal flowers! My lighting was not the best and my icing was way darker than I wanted but the bride loved it!
Another buttercream with fondant flowers. I love fondant flowers!!
This was for my son's friend's wedding reception. Buttercream icing with fondant flowers. Turned out better than I thought as the cake didn't travel well and I had to repair it in front of the bride and her family but they were pleased with the end result!
This cake was for a "couples" shower. The couple were to be married on the beach so the hostess wanted a palm tree, marguarita or something. The cake is covered with buttercream; the straps and flowers are fondant. Even though the straps were allowed to dry for 3-4 days ahead of decorating, one broke and I "glued" it together with vanilla which worked OK. The next time I will make the straps thinner. I smoothed the tops of the flip with a textures paper towel which made them look more realistic.
Found this idea on the web! Was fun to do but took a while to decorate due to being a new challenge to me! Everything was decorated in buttercream. Flowers were fondant. I make these up whenever I have extra fondant then I always have flowers when I need them.
This was my first attempt with a diamond or quilted pattern. I used the plastic impression that is available which made it easy. The bride wanted no more than 2 inches between tiers so I used styrofoam to separate and insert the roses into. Problem was that the stems were pretty flaccid and it took a while to insert them!
