Dark chocolate cake with almond buttercream.
I got a new Bosch mixer and was eager to mix something. This is the result.
For a friend's birthday at work. Still working on my handwriting. Everything is buttercream.
This was the hardest cake I've ever done. The weird little monkey guy on top fell apart when I got it to the customer's house. Unfortunately she wasn't wildly impressed, which is why I always blurt out my disclaimer first thing - I sure as heck don't guarantee beauty or perfection! And I sure didn't deliver it this time!
Just did this for Vacation Bible School. I hope the li'l chickadees like it and that they're not too particular since it's yellow and not chocolate.
Especially her weight! Dang doll arms got in my way too....this was my first doll cake. But I think our niece will love it. As I took a closer look at the picture I noticed gaps that I'll need to fill in as well. Hopefully next time she'll look like she's been busy burning calories cleaning house instead spending all her free time eating bonbons on the couch. Oh yeah - thanks for tips about switching the pick doll head with Barbie's - I never would have thought of that.
This is a FBCT for a little girl who wanted a Super Heroes birthday cake. I hope she likes it.
This is for neighbors of my parents after they cleared their driveway for them following a blizzard. It was supposed to be amaretto cherry with almond buttercream but I realized I was out of white cake mix and was too lazy to go buy more, so I used chocolate cake instead. I hope that's not too weird a combination.
Tiramisu-flavored cake (which mean coffee ice cream instead of oil) with pink fondant and white fondant roses with buttercream ruffle. This was a mess to try to get out of the pan even though I greased it. I'm surprise it even turned out this well. And again, my icing kept breaking while I wrote the message.
I tried to copy some gorgeous cakes I saw on CC - sorry - I forget your name but you know who you are - I had a heck of a time trying to free-hand the fondant dress and have tried to cover some of the mistakes up with flowers.
I also ripped this idea off a few I saw posted on Cake Central. Everything is buttercream, as I'm far too lazy to screw around with royal icing. And since we obviously can't mention Jesus at work at Christmas time, I tried to make it "Jesus lite". I guess if you can't rejoice in Jesus' birth, you can at least rejoice that you're getting cake.
Not my best work...by any stretch...It took 3 hours to even get it to look like this. But hopefully it will taste good!
This is the last of 3 cakes I did for the Emmanuel Celebration. It is egg-nog flavored, which I burned, covered in buttercream, brushed with dry luster dust except for the star. I'll probably have to scrape that off before I serve any cake.
Second of 3 cakes done for the Emmanuel Celebration at church tomorrow night. I'll be sticking three silver candles in some of the bare spots. This one is red velvet with buttercream except for the 2 fondant holly leaves.
First of 3 cakes for our Emmanuel Celebration at church tomorrow night. Devilsfood with butter cream and fondant. Some of the leaves are painted with luster dust.
I obviously need to work on my handwriting!
This is my first wedding cake for an actual wedding. I tried to copy one I saw a long time ago on CC called Neela. Unfortunately I ran out of peach flowers, so I filled in the spaces with white and another peachy color. It's Kahlua cake with coffee buttercream filling, under fondant.
This cake was a nightmare to do, obviously. My problems started when my torting attempt ended up diagonally through the cake. Then I had problems with my handwriting. My great hope is that no one at the church potluck tomorrow gets sick. It is cream cheese icing and it has taken me a heck of a long time to get this dang cake done. There will be candles in it tomorrow.
Pumpkin Spice Cake I recipe that I got off CC, with cream cheese icing.
This is another Kahlua cake with coffee buttercream, and decorated with a little chocolate fudge icing. The leaves are fondant because I was too lazy to go out and buy gumpaste. They are painted with several different different mixtures of luster dusts.
This is for my wonderful mother-in-law's birthday - a milestone. Unfortunately this is not my best work by any stretch, but I think she'll like it. Dark chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting for filling. The frame part of the design is coffee buttercream - which was also wonderful with kahlua cake!
Once again, I completely ripped this idea off out of an old Wilton yearbook. But I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I just hope my neighbors like it.
Okay I must confess I completely ripped this idea off from someone else, but I thought it was a great idea so thanks whoever you are. I also added some decorations around the side. Despite its appearance, this is not for a wedding. It's for my parents' dinner party tomorrow night - a bit femme for just a dinner, but I think they'll like it.
Made for a friend at church.
This is another cake for a church potluck I just did, again ripping off several ideas from various pictures posted on CC. So thank you all!
This cake is in addition to the wedding cake she wanted for her birthday. My husband will be giving her a Barbie doll as a real gift.
