A basket of roses I did for a retiring nursing supervisor. * in rounds with half ball pan on top.
a wedding gift for my brother, June 25, 2011. Ivory buttercream with ivory dragees. they found a cake by cakebaker55 here on CC for inspiration. 6-8-10-12-14" square. First cake in over a year, not too shabby, but not perfect. TFL.
All BC. gotta thank facebook for this cake."1" is iced cardboard. Smash cake is ball 1/2 of pan, big cake 8" & 12". TFL
FIRST 6, 9, 12 slightly twisted square wedding cake. All BC with RI snowflakes. Edible glitter on snowflakes and cake with luster dust on snowflakes and border. I was so nervous about this cake, I despise square cakes. Everyone seemed to like it which is all that matters, especially the bride!
Tried a square cake... made me realize I hate square cakes and humidity. Had problems with this cake in Sept. DOne for my Pap's 78th.
My twin nieces requested a sparkley mermaid pincess cake, so with their father's birthday a few days before their party I asked if I could make hime the mermaid king and they agreed, and it was a huge hit! I had 6 candles on each side as they were turning 6. All BC with luster dust on bottom border and mermaid "tails". I tried Wilton sparkes in his crown. Oh well.
I was asked to do a castle wedding cake for a friend. She found a few pics here on CC that she liked and asked me to put a candle in the door for the glass dragon to be lit up with. Thank you CC!!! towers are styrofoam and cake is red velvet with almond icing.
A tractor cake for pap's birthday, 9/07
My nephew wanted a red tractor cake. I wanted to do something different, saw a few cakes like this one on CC and wanted to give my own a try. Thank you to everyone for ideas!!!
I haven't done a cake in about a year, then a year before that one so I was very rusty! I used the wilton Castle Kit and 10" and 6" cakes. I took this pic before we left the house without the peaks. It never got the peaks after our long journey to the party, folks, don't travel with the turets on it, finish decorating it there!
One UGLY DISASTER!!!! The icing was too thin and sticky and well... as you can see made for a disaster cake!!! Good thing it was a practice cake, I used it for my father-in-law who has been in Vegas on a job for months and is ome for a few days... hope he likes! 3 torted and stacked 6" cakes with supports stuck in the styrofoam base. TFL
My sister wanted a backhoe cake for Tanner's second birthday. I wanted to do a 3D cake, but was short on time, plus I had to get a gluten/wheat free cake mix and I was not carving that $6 cake mix away!!! Plus I was told not to use fondant... so she said to keep it simple... here it is. I was gonna put one of my clown heads on and make a clown driving it... but DH said it was to sissy looking for a construction verhicle... just reg BC icing on 2layer 9x13. Backhoe was freehanded
just another angle
3D John Deere tractor, carved layered pound cake with RCT tires. all covered in Wilton fondant.... time saver.
6"on top and 8" on bottom. This stressed to my husband the importance of 4" between layers when tiered like this! It looks like they are the same size!!! This was fun with the watermellons on the side!!
6' on 10", all BC> She wanted a beach cake like the one on Womens Day, well I didn't have time or all the supplies, but she thought this cake was awesome. (oh and that is supposed to be like the octopus I saw in th '99 Wilton book, but it isn't)
After seaching the net and CC for weeks I have colaberated tips and ideas for this cake! Her party is tomorrow, I made it at her house and she was so excited all day!!!! Everyone that has seen it so far loves it! I think he looks a little funny... but oh well... over 8 hours and he is done!!! He is made with RCT with ice cream cone hat and is sitting on 8" on 12". All BC. I love the sesame street colors!!!
A combo cake with 3 little cakes celebrating fathers day, my father in law moving to vegas for a new job, and my brother in laws graduation. Or 2yo niece always says HAPPY DAY any time we get together so I figured it was fitting. 8" round with 3 little cookie cakes. (I only had 2 decorator bags, hence the colors)
First carved cake, first order not from family, first paid cake. I told her my writing wasn;t the best, as you can see is went off at an angle. 2 8"x3 cakes torted and carved to make it 7 " tall.
Just wanted a simple Bday cake for dad after the big 50th shin dig last weekend. Also getting good practice on trying to make those sides smooth and top level! Three big flat dots on top are where candles will go.
Here it is.... finally! I am thankful everyone liked it. Round 8,12,16- yellow, choc w/PB, pound w/rasp accord. All BC. We had a huge caketastrophe!!! Thankfully my husband remade the choc and yellow cakes and the PB filling while I decorated after a huge breakdown! (the choc cake side fell offwhen I tried to smooth out the icing and the * dog got the yellow cake before I could ice it) Wiltons Spiral Seporator Set with white and yellow carnations and gold ribbon (also on the cake)
I am still trying things for my GP's 50th. This is a version of the tiered cke from Wilton's Tiered Cakes book. I am not good with flowers and figured you can't mess up sottas! Tried my own dream whip BC and wilton's icong for the sotas since the last time it clogged my tip. Tip #1 still clogged, but only about 10 times compared to every inch in the last one! any tips? Tried a pound cake recipe with the raspberry filling too, we will see how they like it at work tonight!!!
For my nephews first birthday last august
