Shark

Shark

This was a birthday cake that I did for our family (there were 4 birthdays being celebrated). The tail is color flow and we celebrated while on vacation. The tail piece had to travel with us, which is why it is cracked. I was able to make the colors on the shark (from light to dark) by gradually adding more and more black to the BC icing.

Darth Vader

Darth Vader

I just delivered this cake. I borrowed an idea that I found on this website - the flame border. Done with orange-colored buttercream with red and yellow bag striping to get the flame effect. Turned out pretty good, I think. Darth Vader is done in color flow and the background is Wilton Color Mist - the first time I've ever used it. Overall, I'm happy with it and even better, my customer loved it!

I would've put this under children's birthday cakes, but it was for my husband. He insisted on Spongebob for his birthday. This was my first shaped pan cake - a little more difficult than I anticipated but not bad.

Rose Cake

Rose Cake

This is another cake that I did for a rubber stamping club meeting. I had a lot of fun with this cake. (Having two boys, I don't get to do many "girly" things.) The icing is buttercream and the flowers are royal.

Educated Ghost

Educated Ghost

This was really simple. This was for a customer whose son has an egg allergy. So the cake is an eggless, butterless, milkless recipe and the buttercream doesn't have the meringue in it. The details are fondant.

Heart Basket

Heart Basket

This was a birthday cake for a customer. Very simple decoration, the cake recipe is a special one though. It's an eggless, milkless, butterless cake. Her son is allergic to eggs so I found this recipe and they loved it.

I made this cake for a rubber stamping club meeting, but it could be used for anything. The flowers are royal, everything else is buttercream.

Shark Attack!!

Shark Attack!!

I did this for a family birthday (there were 4 of us that celebrated birthdays in the same month). The cake had to travel for about 2 hours and I waited to put the "fins" in until we got there. Which is why they broke - traveling with two toddlers. The icing is lighter on the belly and gets darker towards the top. Other than the fins, it is all done in buttercream. I used the football pan for the shape.

Spring Garden

Spring Garden

This was done while I was taking Wilton's course I. The flowers, leaves, butterflies, eggs, and fenceposts are sugar cookies iced with color flow. The "dirt" is crumbled chocolate wafer cookies.

Off To Dreamland

Off To Dreamland

I did this cake for a friend's baby shower. I learned a lot about fondant, especially to bring extra. And I learned not to place a cake in sunlight because by the time it came to serve it, the arm had fallen off. 3-D bear pan on top of a 1/2 sheet.
