For my daughters birthday party
A client I did a birthday party for had a love of books and wanted to incorporate turtles. This is what I came up with. (The turtles are toys--I just wish I had time to make them from marzipan).
A client of mine had a bridal shower for a friend and I made a mini cake for each place setting. They were very fun to do and looked so cute next to each place setting!
for an 8th grade graduation party...my very first handbag cake. Lumpy! LOL!!
For my daughter's Kindergarten class
Made for a friend's son 4th Birthday
This cake was so hard to do! It fell over on the way to the party and I had a love-hate relationship with it up until the time it was gone!!!!
Just for fun with some left over dough! I used the icing writers over red royal icing for his webbed face. My son is infatuated with Spidey! He gobbled them right up!
These were favors for my son's ice skating party. I used luster dust over the top of the royal icing! They were a hit!!!
I made my own template using parchment paper. The skate blade is silver glaze--the laces are fondant. This was a fun one to do!!!!
Cookies for the last day of ballet class before their 1st recital.
I used a large ice cream cone cutter and flipped it to make the clowns! This was the first time I have used the flooding method and really liked how it turned out! TFL!!!
I made this cake as a gift for a friend's son's birthday party 2 weeks ago. First I crumb coated the ship part of the cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. For the shape of the cake I made my own template from a piece of parchment paper and carved it from that. I traced the shape of the pan onto the paper and instead of the rectangle shape I just made one end come to a point as from a birds eye view of the ship. Then I placed it over one 9x13 inch cake and carved the cake out. Then for the other layers I just used partials of that template. I made the railings by piping a ladder formation with melted chocolate chips onto a piece of waxed paper and chillling. Before chilling I stuck toothpicks into ends of each railing so it would be easy to put the cake together when decorating. Also the jolly roger flag is actually a piece of fondant with royal icing for the skull and crossbones. I rolled out fondant and cut it with a pizza cutter to make the wood planks. Then brushed it with brown foodcoloring mixed with water. I painted all of them once they were all attached--it was much easier. I see many mistakes and areas of improvement, but he absolutely loved it and that is all that matters! ;)
My daughter's 5th birthday cake. We had her party at the zoo and this was her cake of choice. I took much inspiration from this site to create my own. Thanks ladies!!! My niece (she is 24) did the palm trees...didn't she do a great job? Sorry about the white on the green fondant--that was caused by the flash on my camera--the jungle was very dark! :)
My daughter had a sock hop 50s theme for her birthday and this was my very first attempt EVER with fondant. I made the chocolate fondant and dyed it black for the records and cutout music notes. I was quite ambitious and did some inlays with this one. Each record cake was a take home treat for each family that attended the party. I used polka dots throughout the party to make it more girlie! Thanks for looking!
For my son's 3rd Birthday party. They were a hit! I shredded white fondant with cheese grater to make it look like cheese and I used red buttercream icing for the sauce. The rest of the items were either shaped by hand or cut out from fondant also.
