These are my mocktail cupcakes because they are based on cocktails, but have no alcohol. There's Kahlua Mudslide (chocolate kahlua cake with kahlua ganache filling, buttercream icing and choc. drizzle), Strawberry Daiquiri (strawberry cake with strawberry filling, rum buttercream and paper umbrella garnish), Margarita (lime cake with lime curd filling, rum buttercream and green sugar sprinkles), and Pina Colada (coconut cake with pineapple cream cheese filling, rum buttercream and toasted coconut garnish).
This was made to match the baby shower invitations. The cake is iced in buttercream, the mommy is cut from fondant. I've seen several cakes like this on CC, so thanks all for the inspiration!
these were for my daughter's class at school. she wanted snowboys and snowgirls so this is what I came up with.
This cake was made for a girl going to cosmetology school. The accesories were made with a chocolate mold.
This is my first attempt at a gumpaste shoe. Thanks to socake for sending me her instructions and templates and also boonati for her tutorial!
This is a display cake. Covered in yellow fondant, with fondant scrolls. Each scroll was painted with super pearl to add dimension. The flowers are silk.
Wonder mold pan, iced in buttercream, fondant bodice and fondant flowers.
I saw these Fruit Loop straws in the cereal aisle at Walmart, and immediately thought they would make a great take on the pirouette cake. I've never done one before, so this was practice for me. I think all the bright colors look nice.
I made this for a potluck at my husband's work. It's vanilla cake with whipped cream cheese and fresh sliced strawberry filling, covered in whip cream done in a basket weave pattern.
This was for my sister's baby shower. Her color theme was pink and brown. This was my first attempt at MMF, I accidentally left the water out, by the time I realized it was too late and I had to use it anyway. Needless to say, the fondant was extremely hard to roll out and ended up being about 1/2 inch thick. People were pulling it off, but they all said the cake tasted great! I learned, no more experiments or first tries for anyone but family!
Interestingly enough, this was supposed to be a package cake with scroll work on the sides and a bow on top. Well, my bow loops didn't work out so I had to improvise. Luckily enough, it was a free cake and I basically could do anything. So I did the scroll work using a pattern press and made a whole bunch of buttercream roses.
This was made for a guy who likes to make and direct his own movies. I had a hard time with the writing, it's one of my weak points.
First try at making a camouflage look.
6,8,10" marble cakes, ganache filling, covered in MMF. Made for a musical couple, groom is in a band. The guitars were cut out of MMF, details drawn with edible marker. Actually, all of the designs on the cake were done in edible marker. The notes on the middle tier actually play the wedding march!
I made this cake for one of the Wilton contests. It was designed to look like the chateau frontenac which is a famous house/castle in Quebec Canada. This cake took forever, recovered from a major construction mistake, and was definitely a lobor of love, but didn't place, show, or mention in the contest. Oh well....
This was my first try at a purse cake. It is an 8in. round with some of the bottom cut off, I used that piece to make the coin purse. Covered in fondant, fondant cut-out flowere, and a twisted fondant handle.
Orange spice cake with honey cream cheese icing. The hives were piped in the cream cheese icing, the bees were made from royal icing.
This is my first try at a cupcake bouquet. Thanks cambo for the tutorial and all you other CC'rs inspiration. I did the flowers like in the video from epicurious.com that someone posted. Thanks!
Thanks to LisaMS for inspiration and tips from her Luau shirt! This was for my niece's birthday. She wanted a shirt this year because I made her "groovy pants" last year. It's strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream. Both pieces are carved from one 9x13.
This cake is based on a Collette Peters design. The flowers were outlined in royal icing and filled in with colored piping gel to create a stained glass effect. This was just a practice dummy cake so I didn't add any frills but it definitely needs something else. A big bow on top maybe.
I threw this cake together pretty quick for my nieces birthday. I even used store bought frosting which I usually never do. I got the idea from a little Betty Crocker party cakes book that you get at the checkout counter.
Made for Mothers Day. Iced in lavender white chocolate buttercream. Flowers are royal icing in different shades of lavender and yellow.
My second attempt at a purse cake. It's a round cake with the bottom cut off and stood up. I used the piece I cut off to make a little coin purse. My quilting lines aren't great, (I need to get some impression mats), and dragees would look better than the royal painted with luster that I used, but overall I was pretty happy.
This was a small tiered cake for a bridal shower. My customer told me the color scheme for the shower was black, pink, and silver with touches of lime green and she wanted something fun and modern. I thought alternating colors and shapes would be fun. The cake is hazelnut marble with hazelnut buttercream filling.
I got the idea for this baby shower cake from a Wilton year book.
