Fifth and final in my series of 5 retirement cakes. Covered in blue marbled MMF and trimmed with graham cracker sand crumbs and sugar sea shells. Topped with a ceramic lighthouse that I found at the $ store and more sand crumbs. This cake represents more of where my mom would like to go and do during retirement.
Fourth in my series of 5 retirement cakes. Covered in purple MMF and trimmed with gumballs. Topped with a plastic toy I found at the $ store that looked like a section of a roller coaster and the background is a print out of a image I found on the internet and printed in black and white.
Third cake in my series of 5 retirement cakes. Covered in brown marbled MMF and trimmed with rock candy. Topped with several kinds of rock candy; chocolate rocks, jelly rocks, ringpops (gems), and the yellow rock candies in a "gold pan" (mini foil ash tray - new of course).
Second in my series of 5 retirement cakes. Covered in black MMF and trimmed in marshmellows and star candies. Topped with a small space shuttle glider; 5 jaw breakers (to look like planets); and 23 stars on spiraled floral wire (one for each year my mom was at her school).
First in my series of 5 retirement cakes. Covered in yellow MMF and trimmed with gummy worm candy covered in mini jawbreaker like candies. Topped with a beaker filled with grape jello with tons of MMs to look like it is bubbling over; 2 test tubes - one with powered drink mix and the othere with slime candy; and finally a small magnifing glass.
Here is the finished product of my mom's retirement cake. There are a total of 5 cakes, all 2 layer 8 inch rounds, 3 were kalua fudge and 2 were carrot/spice. All covered with MMF. I wanted to represent different subjects that my mom taught (she is/was a 6th grade science teacher). I will post a closeup of each cake and describe them in more detail.
Here is the cake that I made for my daughter's glow in the dark party that was held at Glowgolf that was lite with black light. I was hoping that the MMF would "glow" but it didn't. You could see the decorations on the white but not really glowing. The vanilla frosting that I used to fill the layors did glow a light pink. I did make the jello that was recommended to me with the tonic water, it glowed blue, but did not photograph well. Unexpectedly the purple forks we brought glowed almost white.
Double layer 10" rounds, Kalua fudge and white Kalua, covered in cream cheese frosting and surrounded with pirouettes and gold ribbon. Topper is gumpaste rolled out into letters brushed with luster dust.
I made this for my DD movie night bday party. It was a 3 layer 9" rounds, kalua fudge cake covered with MMF and topped with marshmellow popcorn.
I made this one simple. I used several ideas and ended up with reservse writing and "bombs" and a magnifing glass. White kalua cake and cream cheese frosting.
Same as the first I posted, just a closer look.
I made this cake for my son's kingarden graduation. It was to feed about 75 people. There were three tiers 6", 8" &10" ; if I am remember ing right. Sorry it took me soo long to post. The cake was spice & carrot cake combine with creamcheese filling and MMF. The mini caps were made from a candy mold; they were 3 pieces that had to be "glued" together. Gold ribbon is wrapped around the base of the cakes. I used a Wilton 3 tier stand for the display.
The bottom layer was a 9inch 3inch deep round topped with a 8inch round. The top is a cylinder of cake from a soup can and 6 ice cream cones. Cake was carrot/spice/vanilla pudding covered in cream cheese icing (canned) warmed and finished with vanilla wafers/animal crackers/teddy grahams/cake leftovers ground in the food processor for the sand. I purchased the edible shells at a local cake shop. The flip flops are candles purchased from Hobby Lobby.
I purchased a cardboard tower, placed my treasure chest on top and cupcakes topped with pirate flages on the bottom.
I made this cake for my Son's 6th birthday. It was half of a loaf pan. I cut off a slice for the lid. I decorated the bottom with chocolate coins, perils, and rolos. Topped with the lid propped up with several toothpicks.
The cupcakes are Hostess snowball that I piped the face on and added ears that I made out of cardstock and toothpicks.
I made this for my daughters 8th birthday party. The magic hat is 2 - 8 inch rounds, koula fudge cake, topped a 10 inch cardboard round covered in frosting. The cupcakes are Hostess snowball that I piped the face on and added ears that I made out of cardstock and toothpicks.
Several pictures from CC were my inspiration for this cake. This was for my mother's birthday, she loves the beach and shells. The cake is pumpkin spice, my own concoction of 2 boxes of spice cake, a large can of pumpkin and a box of vanilla pudding. The base is 9x13 topped by 2-6 inch rounds and the tower was baked in a soup can. I heated cream cheese premade frosting and drisseled over the cake and pressed in cookie crumbs. I ground up pecan sandies and some vanilla sandwich cookies for the sand.
This is a cake my friend Melinda made for her twin girls birthday. I sent her several "ideas" from CC and this is what she came up with. It is a double 8" round frosted covered with a MMF tablecloth. After the MMF was rolled out she laid a doily over it and "colored" in the pattern with an edible ink marker. Then dusted the rest with luster dust. The tea set is plastic from the toy store. Her girls really enjoyed being able to play with it after the cake was finished.
These were for the girls at the party. I ordered them and added the picks. I ordered the picks online.
I made this one for my daughter's kid party. The big one turned out so well I wanted to try a smaller one. I used mini loaves of pound cake with strawberry filling. MMF with Bc crumbcoat. Gumball handle on a pipecleaner. Latch, brad pushed into cake.
This was for my daughter's 10th bday. She had a shopping theme and a wonderful time with her friends doing a Mall Mania Scavenger Hunt. The cake was white with strawberry filling. Cut, carved and stacked a 1/2 sheet cake. (Have to admit I purchased it at a local grocery store. Just plum ran out of time to bake this one.) MMF over BC crumbcoat. The handle was a wire purchased at Hobby Lobby for stringing beads for making a purse. We used gumballs instead. The clasp is a brad just stuck into the cake.
My SIL made this for her son for his bday. We had a joint party and it is the cake to the tail in the bug catcher cake pic. She uses 3 rounds and song small hearts to piece this together, all carrot cake. The "scales" are the points of the top of a pinapple, the nose is a mellow pumpkin, the ears are gum, and the color of the eyes are m&ms. I think the rest is all frosting, from a can.
This was made for my son's bug birthday party. A jelly roll lemon cake with lemon fillling covered with cream cheese frosting and edible glitter. The ends are made out of candy melts, the handle is MMF and the covering is a clear plastic. I just places several plastic bugs onto the "grass", my son will get to keep them a momento of his birthday.
Here is my daugnter's bday cake. I is cakelifted from CC. It is a 2 layer 9' Strawberry cake with Choc fudge filling covered with MMF and decorated with creamcheese frosting and royal icing ladybugs that I bought from a local cake store. This was the first time I have made and used MMF, it molded wonderfully and easily to the cake. I am pleased with the turn out of this cake. I had been planning it for several months now. On to next week's birthday cake!
Okay I ordered these too. For my son's bday with a bug theme. We asked for a green base of frosting with caterpillar in yelloe, light green and orange. These were for the kids party and I was just too overloaded to bake cupcakes too. The kids and my son loved them. (Yes, my middle daughter and son's bdays are 5 days apart and we did a combined kids party this year. We took erevyone to the May Muesum, otherwise known at the bug museum!)
