Buttercream cake with fondant decor inspired by a Wilton cake. All the bugs and flowers are chocolate. It matched the party invitations.
The lion, lamb, and cross are gumpaste. The cross is actually a box I filled with blue and white candies and glued shut with royal icing. My son was able to break the top off and he was thrilled to see the surprise inside.
My neighbor turned 50 so I made her a small cake. This was my first attempt at making cake look tie dyed. It was done on white fondant. I also made the margarita glass out of sugar. The cup part was my third try because it broke the first two tries. I also managed to burn myself pretty good. I needed a margarita after making this one! ;)
The theme for this baby shower was dr. suess so I did an offset stack with characters from some of the books in gumpaste. I cut out the figures with my Cricut cake and hand painted them. I wanted them to look like 2D from the books. Forgive me, but I forgot to take out the paper towel from the bow at the top before I took the picture!
My husband loves his Xbox so I did this one for his birthday. The controller and game is rice cereal covered in fondant and decorated accordingly. The system was complete with all the plugs and wires on the back as well. He liked it so much he made me keep the controller to show his brother in three months!
This is an all fondant cake for a gal turning 30. The idea is from a Sugarshack photo on the front cover of a cake catalog I get in the mail. It was a long process, but I was happy with the results.
My friend gave me a picture of a cake she wanted for a shower. I don't know who did the original, but she was amazed how closely I matched it. It's buttercream with fondant/gumpaste decorations.
This is a custom cut cake in the shape of a cross covered in MMF. It has royal icing bridge work on the side creating the lace look. The center plaque is colorflow with royal icing layered to create the relief effect. All the little ribbon loops, flowers, and bows are fondant. This was my first time doing bridge work. I like this technique and will probably do it again, but I did find it very time consuming! (I blurred out the name for the internet because it was for a minor.)
Full size sheet cake with buttercream icing. The decorations in the corners are fondant. School colors are green and gold.
My son had to have Batman. My worst nightmare...black! Well, being inspired by other CC users, I managed this buttercream cake. The dark blue was airbrushed. The city buildings, Batman call sign, and Batman himself are colored chocolate. I hand piped Batman upside down over a pattern....didn't know how he was going to turn out until I flipped him over! I had one chance.
All BC with black satin ribbon and gumpaste magnolia flowers. The humidity that day reeked havoc on my BC, but I was pretty happy with it in the end. Bride was having a black and white wedding.
This is a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. I used the paper towel method to get it smooth (thanks CC users!) I prefer to make my own MMF, but I had limited time so I used Wilton fondant for the decorations and the frog.
Just a fun flower cake for a mom and daughter. Buttercream with royal flowers.
Cake is covered in green buttercream. The animals are 2D made from colorflow. The details on the animals like stripes and spots and also the sign were done with colored chocolate. All chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.
This is buttercream covered in MMF. I made the entire top from MMF. My daughter thought it needed a mobile so I did the wire with fondant stars.
My neighbor enjoys my cakes and she requested this small cake in pink and purple with flowers.
My son loves speedracer and he approved the design :) It is done with colorflow and cake covered in fondant then painted blue checker.
My niece loves a book series called Skippy Jon Jones. Its a siamese cat that thinks its a dog. The cake is supposed to be the front cover of one of the books. It is fondant, with fondant skippy and painted details.
My husband is a Mopar car guy. It was a surprise. I made this challenger from a photo out of colorflow.
I got inspiration for this cake from cake here on Cakecentral. It is white buttercream with white fondant pieces with some brushed with gold pearl dust. The writing is brushed with opal dust to set it off from the white background.
this is the Wilton "friendly lion" taken from their last magazine. When we showed the little guy his cake, he had the best facial expression in the world! We only wish we captured it on camera!
This cake was for a 30th birthday for my sister-in-law who is a pharmacist. It is a mortar and pisel. I learned I would do it differently next time :)
This is exactly what the bride wanted. Each layer a different flavor and torted twice with a different filling. More cake work than decoration! She also provided the cake topper - swarowski crystals. They didn't want to sta in the right place when I placed them. Very hard to get to right. Not bad for my first wedding cake. What do you think?
This little girl had a roller skating party. The mom told me it should have some purple on it. So this what I came up with. The roller girl is made from royal icing and the purple is MMF.
Cake covered in buttercream and decor is colorflow. Made to match table decorations.
My first attempt at gumpaste flowers. Hard! Made for my grandma's 80th birthday.
