This was for dh's grandpa's 73rd birthday. The top was the first sugar-free cake i had ever done (grandpa is diabetic) and the figure also my first... my first fish... first dock.. blah blah. could've ended up worse. the writing says Happy 1st Birthday Party! figure & fishies are fondant, iced in Frostin' Pride, bottom is white cake with raspberry filling, top is chocolate sugar-free cake with sugar-free icing (which tasted mostly like pudding)
48th birthday cake for my harley-crazed father-in-law. Yellow and blue are longshoreman colorrs.
Iced in Rich's Bettercream... Everyone loved it. 1/4 sheet cake. 4" tall.
This is the final version of my beer cake. The birthday boy is a member of a local band called the Hickmans, and their new CD is called "You and Me and Bottle make Three" Devil's food cake, raspberry filling, Frostin Pride icing, covered in Fondant with a little luster dust
I get to see my mom about once a year, and she and my younger brother are in town until tomorrow. She had a gastric bypass and can't eat much sweets, so it is a 4"x6" filled with lemon pudding and iced with Pastry Pride.
Supports are straws, wax paper separators. Chocolate cake with bavarian creme filling, iced with Bettercream.
This was for a friend whose husband is in a local band "The HIckmans." They have a new album "you and me and the bottle makes three", and this was for his birthday. I had it carved and iced and the transfers made before i found out i had the month wrong. I was angry and didn't let the transfer soften, and it snapped in half... dang it!!
Birthday cake for my FIL who LoOoOvEs M&Ms. It is a little messy, didn't get sufficient time to freeze, and was VERY tired when doing it. He didn't notice the flaws, and loved it.
i finally just got my new 2", 3", and 4" rounds and my very first square. So i tried them out. I think the cake was a total of about 10" tall. the bottom is 6". Iced in bettercream
I just got my luster dust from here. I have to do an anniversary cake in June... I used antique gold on homemade fondant. I was kinda disappointed, as it looked more brown than gold. I guess i need a few more layers of it, or need to mix it thicker to begin with... any suggestions? It was also my first time covering a square with fondant. I need practice there too.
Iced and decorated in Bettercream, used only a tip 5.
My grandmother gave me a few really old pans, and this fanci-fill pan was one of them. This was my first try to decorate the thing. My colors would be darker, but Bettercream doesn't color very easily.
this was my first try with my new icing comb. i don't know if i like it or not. This is kinda like one by cakesbyjess.
I almost didn't decorate this one. I ran out of bettercream and didn't even have enough for borders... i had some extra fondant from the last wedding cake, and some pink my mil gave me in baby shower colors. I'm not big into pink, but i thought it looked kinda nice : )
This is for a jewelry store wedding set display. Drove myself crazy with all the books and diff techniques to choose from. In the end I just freehanded all the flowers and leaves and vines. I thought it turned out okay, though i wish i had at least taken pictures all the way around. all that work...
Practicing my drop strings. No where near as elaborate as most i see here, but still better than my last attempt. 4" and 5"
I used the sports ball pan (probably obvious) all crusting buttercream except for inside the "stem" is a chocolate bonbon (covered in buttercream) and the loop is fondant. what do yall think?
Raspberry filling, and crusting buttercream icing. It really was violet, not blue. It seems that purple will never show up. darn it. The "stem" was a chocolate bonbon covered with icing.
This cake was to celebrate my grandmother making the final payment on her car. She can finally "splurge" and pay for garbage service : ). It was 4-layer yellow cake with lemon filling, bettercream icing, and of course buttercream for the transfer
This one is devil's food with chocolate pudding filling. I ran out of cocoa before i was done, and i ended up using hershey's chocolate syrup in my buttercream. It also had some coffee creamer in it. It was pretty yummy. I tried to do one like dreamer63512, but I don't think i pulled it off as nicely. oh well, looks like dh will have to eat another one...
It was a practice pumpkin for a party Saturday. Just seeing how i want to decorate it. my mmf had lost its elasticity and i couldn't roll it out, so i went with the patchwork look. The stem is a chocolate cordial cup. what do you think?
Chocolate cookie with peanut butter filling inside
Just trying out my little pans again. I was trying to decide which border i like better... I did the regular shell with the swirl on the bottom, and the reverse shell with the swirl in the middle... what do you think? maybe there isn't enough difference to matter. iced and filled with bettercream, decorations in buttercream.
This was my first try with fbct on a 3D surface. It was the 3D Cruiser pan, iced in bettercream, and of course the transfers were buttercream. It nearly made me cry several times as i find out that i can't pipe a straight line, and i had to give up on a few of the details that i wanted, but the birthday boy's wife loved it when i dropped it off
This was a 5" and a 6" in my new 3" pans. I was practicing borders from a book i checked out from the library, and also testing how bettercream and buttercream taste together. Iced and filled with bettercream, decorated with buttercream
I made this cake for my father-in-law. He loves his union more than his own children. He even got an ILWU tattoo. anyway, I had to make this with no decorator bags or tips. I actually did the fbct with a small ziplock baggie. I used a larger one to do the border. I slightly misjudged the size of the top of the cake, and the transfer was a little big, so the border went under the edge.
