I made this cake for a social committee meeting at my school. I just love Maxine. Since most of my committee is made up of teachers, I thought this cake was appropriate. It is half white sour cream cake and chocolate fudge cake. It was torted and filled with chocolate hazelnut filling. It is iced in white chocolate buttercream. I traced the picture of Maxine with a toothpick and them outlined it using Wilton's black tube icing. I hate making black icing. I used a shell tip to fill in the outline.
I just finished my nephew's monkey cake. He's always been fascinated with monkeys. Even though he's a freshman in high school, his grandmother and I thought the cake would be most appropriate. The monkey cake is made out of white sour cream cake with chocolate buttercream. I used Wilton's black tube icing for the outline, because I didn't want to make the black icing. Any comments on how to improve it would be appreciated. I would like to thank Cambo for her inspiration for this cake.
I made a practice birthday cake for my nephew. It could also be used as a bridal shower cake. It is a neopolitan cake (strawberry, chocolate, and white layers) covered in almond flavored buttercream. My students and teachers at my school said it was very good. I will be making another cake for a birthday party on Sunday.
Here is the final picture of my cake at the shower. It was a big success!!!! Everyone said it was the best cake, and the loved my chocolate hazelnut filling (thanks to Nutella). This was the first cake that I made for a person who wasn't in my immediate family.
Here are the cupcakes for the bridal shower. The white cupcake is white sour cream cake with white buttercream. The green iced cupcakes are lime cake with margarita flavored buttercream. I have garnished each one with a silk jasmine flower and a slice of key lime.
Here is my final cake for my last Wilton class (gumpaste). It is a three tiered white sour cream cake with apricot, lime, and raspberry fillilng. It is covered in homemade mmf. The flowers in the topper is a mixture of gumpaste and silk flowers. I'm a teacher, and I didn't have time to make all of my flowers so I substituted some silk flowers for the gumpaste flowers. I'm still very proud of this cake since it is my first. Please any helpful suggestions on how to improve it would be appreciated.
Here my newest creation in search for the perfect recipe for a Margaritaville bridal shower cake. It is a white sour cream cake with a margarita flavored frosting. I added green coloring, lime curd, and margarita flavored tequila to my buttercream. I just eliminated the water when I made the buttercream.
I am trying new recipes for cake. I made a different white sour cream cake recipe using butter instead of oil. The frosting is chocolate hazelnut buttercream. My students and fellow teachers said they were very good. My husband said they enjoyed them at work, but that I needed to send more. I am looking forward to using this recipe again when I bake my final cake for my gumpaste class. I am making a three -tiered wedding cake using the inspiration from this site. Thank you!!!!
I wanted to use a scratch recipe so I mixed up a batch of white sour cream wedding cake batter. I made so many cupcakes that I had enough to send cupcakes to my workplace and my husband's workplace. This cupcake has fresh strawberry buttercream. Last night I used more cs in it, and I think it now has the perfect consistency. Yesterday I also sent some lime buttercream cupcakes to work. Everyone said both were very, very good. Thanks for looking!
Here is my DD's final cake for Wilton Class 3. She did a wonderful job on it. The bottom tier is classic white cake with chocolate hazelnut filling and covered in mmf. The top layer is classic white cake with raspberry filling and covered in mmf. Here flowers are made out of Wilton's fondant. Yuck!! Her dad is taking it to work tomorrow so others can enjoy her cake.
Here is my final cake for the Wilton Class 3. The bottom tier is classic white cake with chocolate hazelnut filling. The top tier is classic white cake with raspberry filling. It is covered in mmf. The daisies are also made out of fondant, but I used the Wilton's fondant. Yuck! I told my husband not to eat the daisies. I had made a bunch of roses, but this cake was screaming for some daisies. Any suggestions on how to improve would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking!
These are my first fondant roses. Any suggestions on how to improve them would be helpful and appreciated. I'm not sure if I like making fondant or buttercream roses better. Thanks for looking!
I made this cupcake bouquet for a teacher at my school. She let my daughter volunteer in her classroom during summer school. I wanted to thank her for giving Cara the opportunity to work with her students. The mini cupcakes are classic white cake with green icing. I made the daisies using the #104 tip, and the center of the daisy is yellow colored mmf.
I made this for 90 year old great aunt who has a major sweet tooth. It is classic white cake with cherry filling. It was iced using white buttercream. It gave me an opportunity to practice making roses. My mom wanted me to make my aunt a "pretty" cake. I hope she likes it.
I made these cupcakes for my daughter's ESE summer school tutoring group. Tomorrow is their last day at summer school, and she wanted to give them a nice treat. The fur is made by using tip #233 (grass tip). I made the eyes and mouth using mmf fondant. I plan to make these for my students this year. Thanks for looking!
I was playing around with some cake scraps and some leftover mmf. My cake went flat on the bottom, but I think it looks alright considering I haven't played with playdough for a long -long time. I think the real M & M's helps to make the figure look more like a M & M guy. Thanks for looking!
My daughter and I are currently taking the third Wilton course. This is my daughter's cake. It was a classic white cake with cherry filling. It was covered in mmf. Boy, that is messy to make! My cake was coconut with pineapple and coconut filling. It had white mmf with a pink fondant bow and white flowers, but my bow broke. That's why it's not on this site. We heard both cakes were delicious, and that's what is important.
I made this cake for my niece. We are celebrating her birthday at our July 4 cookout. It's a small cake just for her. The cake is white with buttercream icing and decorations (except the bow). She LOVES purple so I made it purple. It has an 8-inch layer, 6-inch layer, and a 4-inch layer. It's not my best work, but I did get to practice my rope border. I can now appreciate making stacked cakes using buttercream. It's definitely challenging.
Here is my final cake for my second Wilton class. My wrist was hurting the night I decorated it so I wasn't as happy with my basketweave. Next time I won't outline my pansies. I didn't like the look after I outlined them. All of the flowers and leaves are royal icing. The birds are colorflow. Looking forward to my next class in two weeks. The cake was French vanilla with strawberry filling. Yummy!
This is the cake that I worried about for the past 4 months. I wanted it to be special for my little girl's sweet sixteen luau. The bottom tier was a 10-inch white cake with raspberry filling. The middle tier was an 8-inch white cake with pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nut filling. The final tier was a 6-inch white cake with strawberry filling. All the layers were covered in turquoise colored buttercream and covered in white chocolate shells, sea stars, and coral. Thanks for looking!
I had some leftover icing from my cake class so I decided to make a cake for my husband's office. Since the cake will arrive in the office on Friday, I decided to call it the "Weekend Cake". It isa white cake with buttercream icing and decorations. I am still a novice at cake decorating, but I love fooling around with my tips. I hope you enjoy my cake. Have a nice weekend!
I had to show off my daughter's graduation cake from her first Wilton Cake Decorating Class. She is 15, and I am so proud of her. We took the class together which I really enjoyed having my daughter with me. I think she did a marvelous job on her roses. She was critical of her cake, but I told her she did a great job.
Well, here is my graduation cake from my first Wilton cake decorating class. I am improving, but I can still see some flaws. Practice, practice, practice will make it perfect. Thanks for your comments or suggestions.
This is a marble cake with buttercream icining and decorations. The character is an anime character called Rock. I made this for a friend of my teenage daughter. They are both into Japanese cartooning. My daughter's friend loved it.
My daughter is having a sweet sixteen party in June. I plan to make the cakes for the party. Here is an example of one of them. It is a coconut flavored cake with pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nut filling. I've served it today at a school luncheon. They said it tasted great and looked like it was decorated at a bakery. That was a compliment!
My whole class was promoted to the fourth grade so I baked them a congratulatory cake. The cake was yellow with chocolate and vanilla icing. The apple and ruler were made out of fondant (my first attempt). How did I do? I would like to thank all of the people who made cakes similar to mine. They were the inspiration for my cake.
