Chocolate cupcakes with buttercream; fondant accents; rack is fondant as are chalk pieces. Thanks to Pink Cake Box for the inspiration. My oldest DD did all the fondant work!
White cake with "candlelight" buttercream (vanilla & one layer lemon); fresh flowers. The bride said it was more than she envisioned!! That made my day. TFL
This is a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting for my youngest daughter's 17th birthday. She's an animal "freak," works at a vets office, is an Honor student (Senior in HS), and wants to be a Vet. I couldn't take this pic without my shadow being in the way! TFL
This is the whole setup for the anniversary celebration. TFL
This is my first "real" topsy turvy cake! I was pleased and so was the birthday boy and his parents. It's a yellow cake covered all in vanilla BC. I also made 24 yellow cupcakes with vanilla BC. The colors matched a book the mom had given me. Thanks for looking.
This was for a little boy who turned 8 and he was having a pirate party. We didn't want to use a black background so his mom picked sky blue. The skull and crossbones are fondant; everything else is vanilla BC on a yellow cake. Everyone loved it and I'm getting a few more orders from it too!! Thanks for looking.
This was a 12" square white cake with vanilla BC and yellow roses. Made for a friend's 21st birthday. Thanks for looking.
This really simple yellow 12x18 sheet cake, with vanilla BC, will be used in a photo shoot tomorrow for the 90th Anniversary Edition of the Capel Rugs catalog. This is an international rug manufacturer/importer and their catalog goes worldwide. It will be photographed with the Capel family surrounding it. I'm excited! Thanks for looking.
This is a chocolate sheet covered in vanilla BC. This was for my youngest DD's History Teachers BABY SHOWER!!! They are having a boy and the nursery is done in....bet you can't guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used their last name instead of JD. They loved it. Thanks for looking.
This is my lame excuse for a topsy turvey cake. Never made one before and next time it'll have to be more cake! Did a "formal" cake for my oldest DD and then surprised her at college on her birthday with this one. It's three small layers of yellow cake; covered in vanilla BC. It was fun and tasted good but the best part was the look on her face!!! Thanks for looking.
This is a 12" chocolate heart with vanilla BC and dark purple royal icing roses. This was for my oldest DD birthday! I had so much of the purple RI left from the wedding cake I decided to make her a "formal" cake!! The writing and trim is buttercup yellow BC. Thanks for looking!
This was for a small wedding. Chocolate cake with vanilla BC; dark purple royal roses; leaves are BC. A little scroll work on the sides. The bride forgot to bring the cake top (left it an hour and a half away)!! Thus...the roses on the top. Glad I brought extras! Thanks for looking.
Thanks to Taylorsmom for the inspiration! This is a yellow 12x18 sheet cake cut in half and stacked with chocolate BC filling. The icing is also chocolate BC and the band is vanilla BC. Decided against the fondant idea! Everyone was thrilled with the cake; both the look and the taste! It was for a friend's husband's 50th surprise birthday party. Thanks for looking!
This is a 10 inch yellow cake with vanilla BC; golden yellow BC trim; light yellow roses. This is a quick cake for a co-workers birthday tomorrow. I decided not to go with the black theme but to look at it like a golden anniversary is viewed! I think I'm in a rute with this type cake though!
This is a 10 inch yellow cake with vanilla BC; royal roses. Something quick for a friend!
This is the cake I made for my youngest DD's 16th b-day. Bottom-10" chocolate filled/iced with hot pink vanilla BC; top-8" yellow filled and iced with electric blue vanilla BC. Dots all fondant and the board was covered with white fondant with pink and blue fondant dots. I should have had a bigger board because once I put the bottom layer on the board you couldn't really see the dots. The kids at the party thought it was fake; they didn't realize it was actually edible but they gobbled it up!!
Yellow cake with pale pink. Hot pink and lime green BC dots. Did this for a friend's granddaughter who was turning 11; it was the hit of the party! Thanks for looking.
Yipee! I'm finished with Course 2 -- on to Course 3 so I can teach!!!! This is a lemon cake with lemon BC. Of course all the flowers are RI and the leaves are BC. This class was much better than the first but I can't wait for Aug. 14 when we start again. Thanks for looking.
We are welcoming our new pastor and his family tonight with a cookout. This is a yellow cake with vanilla BC. Daisies are RI; my poor excuse of a basket is BC as are the leaves. My basketweave is horrid (was in a hurry and talking on the phone!!). It was fun. Thanks for looking.
This is a yellow sheet cake with vanilla BC frosting; the water has two different shades of blue piping gel; the beach is covered with crushed vanilla wafers. The hut is a chocolate cupcake with an umbrella stuck in the top covered with chocolate BC. My hibiscus around the sides are color flow; the beach ball/towel/surf board with "Roxy" symbol/flip flops are all fondant. The shells are molded chocolate with pearl dust. Thanks to gmcakes, Doug, and ogolds for your help with this one. They loved it too!!
I made this cake for the same woman I did the sheep cake. My oldest DD is now my official fondant animal maker! She did such a fantastic job on these little pigs--they were so cute and each one belongs to a specific birthday person. This is a yellow sheet cake with vanilla BC; the "dirt" is crushed oreos. The mud hole is chocolate icing with brown piping gel. I made the barn out of cardboard covered in fondant with RI "hay;" this was the first fondant building I've ever done. My friend loved it.
This is just another view of my pastor's farewell cake. Thanks for looking.
This is the second cake I did for the benefit/auction tomorrow. It's a carrot cake (imagine!) with crusting cream cheese icing. The "carrots" and "grass" are made of the same icing. Thanks for looking.
A friend of my DH was in a near fatal log truck accident and there is going to be a dinner/auction for him tomorrow. This is one of two cakes I made for the auction. My first color flow experience; thanks to everyone who set me straight on that issue!! This guy plays guitar in a Christian/Bluegrass band; thus the notes/guitar. My roses are getting better with practice!!! Thanks for looking.
This was a rehersal dinner cake for a couple who are crazy about Jimmy Buffit. The cake is chocolate covered in chocolate; the water is just blue BC with edible blue glitter; the island is built up BC with brown sugar for the sand. The little glasses are filled with actual margaritta mix and salted rims. All the decorations are not edible. They loved it.
Thank Heaven Course 1 is over; however, we're going to have the same instructor for Course 2. This is only till I'm done with Course 3--then I get to teach! Anything that could go wrong last night...did. It was like 90 degrees where we had our class and I had to make a carrot cake with the crusting cream cheese frosting (the one on CC). My RI even turned into a mess. So needless to say I'm not very happy with this cake. Hard to believe I've been decorating for 22+ years!!! Thanks for looking.
