Cake I entered in our local ********** Guild contest. My category was Adult (amateur) Multi Tier Traditional. I did not place in the top three, but got quite a few votes for "people's choice". Chocolate fondant with ivory gumpaste decorations, eyelet pattern border and gumpaste "fantasy flower"
Mr. Grouper: fondant covered Rice Krispie treats. Bubble Guppies 2D figures made of 50/50 fondant/gum paste. Little Fish: modeling chocolate. Commercially available chocolate rocks. Gil and Deema
Fondant covered, Rice Krispie modeled Basset Hound head on 8 inch fondant covered cake. For my sister's Basset Hound rescue organization.
First topsy-turvy cake.
Cupcakes from an Easter party for families of kids with autism.
Cake for my son's preschool graduation party. It was called "Little Lamb Playschool", hence the lamb topper.
Truck theme for my son's 3rd birthday. The fish are from a book he likes, that he was talking about constantly at the time.
Cookie Monster cupcakes, for my son's 4th birthday.
Fondant mosaic, on a cake drum. Tiles have "grout" of softened fondant.
For my son's 5th birthday. Brobee from the TV show Yo Gabba Gabba. Buttercream icing with fondant details. Cones on head were waffle ice cream cones dipped in red melting wafers.
My cousin requested a three tier cake with buttercream icing, with a "falling petal" look, with the petals in a pale pink. The petals and roses are gum paste, the icing is Swiss Meringue Buttrcream. The icing design was a last minute idea that turned out pretty well--and the randomly attached petals covered up a few rough spots! All in attendance thought the cake tasted good and looked pretty good. My 3rd wedding cake, first in buttercream.
Buttercream "grass" with Cadbury's Mini Eggs. Bunnies are from white chocolate modeling paste
I made this for a friend's 50s themed wedding, with a red, black and white polka-dot decorating theme. I thought the ribbon roses worked well, not too fussy, but dressed the cake up a bit.
A very simple cake: 10 inch, 8 inch, 6 inch tiers, fondant covered, gumpaste gerber daisies, fabric ribbon. My first wedding cake and other than a couple flaws, that only I saw, it turned out well. The bride (my very easy going SIL) and groom loved it, that's all that matters!
For my nephew's 14th birthday. First attempt at figure modelling. Boy and deer are gumpaste, deer has RI "fur" and white chocolate antlers. Boy's bow is chocolate, bow is a toothpick. Grass is BC using fur/grass tip.

For a co-worker's daughter who was turning 3. 9X13 carrot cake, BC icing, Graham wafer crumb "sand", fondant decorations and Candy Melt shells. It was a quick cake, but my friend really liked it (and my husband loved the flip flops!). The second cake I've ever sold!
Not really a 3D cake, but the butterflies are 3D, made of rice paper wings, coloured with edible marker and petal dusts and dusted with edible glitter. The bodies are gumpaste with vermicelli antennae. Roses are BC with Hershey's Kiss center cores.
Based on an idea from Colette Peters' book "Colette's Cakes" ISBN number 0-316-70205-6. I modified it by attaching a rice paper/gum paste butterfly instead of a flower. The rocks are candy covered chocolate. I was quite happy with how it turned out.
Made on really short notice for my manager's final staff meeting. We work in a scrapbook store and she likes the shiny "bling" embellishments. I covered the cake in fondant, added BC stars with silver dragges, a silver painted RI tiara and a shiny fabric ribbon for colour. Lesley B.
Fondant covered dummy cake for my TOPS group's New Year's Party (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), with each tier representing various themes and ideas from 2007 and 2008. All is edible except crystals. Roses are gumpaste, tiara is royal icing colored with silver luster dust mixed with vodka.
I borrowed this idea from several on this site, thanks for the inspiration! Cake is carrot with cream cheese icing. The igloos are chocolate cake covered in fondant. The igloo entrances are gumpaste and the penguins were sculpted from fondant. The "water" is tinted piping gel. Even though I was really sick when I put it together, this was a fun cake to make.
Marbelized fondant covering 8 inch chocolate cake. Tombstones gumpaste, ghosts gumpaste over tootsie pops (borrowed from other Cake Central posts), jujube pumpkins with piped 'vines".
Fondant covered 6 inch offset on 8 inch carrot cakes (I should have made them the same height). Gumpaste roses and leaves, fondant lace accent. It was for my mother's 60th birthday.
For my nephew's 11th birthday. Flames are gumpaste, airbrushed. Cake is chocolate with BC icing and red, yellow and orange colour striped shell border. The motorcycle is a plastic toy. Thanks for looking. Lesley B.
