My first cake in almost 2 years! I hadn't baked in so long I was scared I'd forgotten everything I knew, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Please excuse the poor picture quality, I had to take it with my phone. Made for a lifeguard at the local YMCA. Marble cake with chocolate fudge filling. MMF with MMF accents.
Vanilla pizza cake with buttercream sauce and marshmallow fondant pepperoni, olives, and peppers with grated chocolate cheese. The picture was taken with my cell, so the quality isn't the greatest. I actually made this cake over a year and a half ago but never uploaded the photo. It's also one of the last ones I've done, as I haven't baked in quite a while and got away from signing onto Cake Central as a result, but I've recently realized how much I've missed it all, so I hope to get back into the swing of things. I hope I haven't forgotten everything I knew!
I ran out of time to do the extra details I wanted to do for this cake, but the bag itself turned out well overall I think. It's also the first cake I've done in months so I was happy with the outcome. Handles are gumpaste, everything else is fondant.
My cousin got married yesterday in an outdoor ceremony on his family's farm and wanted a cake that was fitting of the spring theme. The whole cake was airbrushed with pearl dust but it's hard to see in the photos, and the grass and flowers are gumpaste. I hauled this cake in pieces from my house in FL to the wedding in TN and finished it up when I got there. I'm so glad it made it!
This was done for my husband's office Christmas party. He saw a picture of another one on CC and wanted one like it. I actuallly got him to help! I started out to make the legs from gumpaste but they were extremely heavy, (not to mention I ran out of time) so I ended up doing them from paper towel rolls. I struggled to come to terms with violating one of my own rules and using someting that wasn't edible but everyone loved it so that's what matters!
Just finished this for my office Christmas party. I've wanted to do one for a while and finally had a reason. It gave me problems from the start but overall I think I'm happy with how it turned out. The poinsettia and berries are gumpaste, pinecones are royal icing, and candles are cake with tea lights.
Fall themed wedding cake done as my wedding gift to my best friend. I live in Florida and the wedding was in Tennessee. I was also a bridesmaid and wasn't arriving until late the night before, so I had to bring it assembled and find out how good my doweling skills were! Covered in MMF with gumpaste leaves, pumpkins, and acorns. Twigs are royal icing. So much fun to make, but so unnerving to travel with!
The bride and groom were having a Florida Gator themed wedding and wanted orange and blue flowers. The finished product has hearts on it but I also liked the plain one so I took a photo of it to upload as well.
A good friend got married today and I did the cake as my gift to her. She had a pink color scheme but her bouquet had white callas, so she decided on a mixture of both. Fondant covered with edible pink pearls and real ribbon. Callas are gumpaste - my first time doing gumpaste flowers!. Topper provided by the bride.
My husband has 2cars, but his favorite is a convertible Miata he paid $500 for so I made a replica of it for his birthday. Car cakes don't usually get much attention around CC but he loved it! Fondant covered cake with fondant/gumpaste accessories.
Another going away cake for a guy from the vet's office moving to Australia. MMF with MMF accents.
I saw a couple of these and wanted to try one myself. Thanks to DianeLM and SweetResults for their help and instructions on the bottles. Made for a company picnic. MMF painted with silver luster dust. Sugar ice and bottles.
My first wedding cake! Also my first time working with impression mats and dragees. Thanks to Caroline Johnson Photography for giving me a photo sice I forgot my camera at home!
My version of several other luau cakes from this site. Made for a friend's daughter who was turning 11 and having a luau party. French vanilla with raspberry jam, all decorated in buttercream with brown sugar sand and a combination of fresh and silk flowers
This is my version of flourgrl's Pucci cake. The customer sent me a photo of the cake and wanted a very similar replica, so thanks to flourgrl for her design and inspiration! Fondant covered cake, all freehanded and hand painted. The photo is dark because it was 3am, and I realized afterwards that I hadn't put the middle border on yet! Oops!
Your average, and very common, girly baby shower package cake with a bow and ribbon roses.
White cake with raspberry jam filling covered in MMF with MMF accents.
I've wanted to do a stacked gift cake for a while. A friend from work volunteered to feed a group of homeless women and children for Christmas so this was my gift to them. Bottom is chocolate cake with peanut butter ganache filling and top is vanilla filled with cookies and cream. Covered in MMF with gumpaste and MMF bow.
I've been wanting to do a version of something I saw in a Colette Peters book for a while. Bottom is red velvet with cream cheese filling, top is caramel almond. All covered in MMF with MMF accents painted with luster dust.
Two bundt cakes give the pumpkin its shape and an ice cream cone serves as the stem. Both pumpkin and stem are iced in buttercream and the pumpkin icing smoothed before adding the final ridge details.
I debated putting this in the adult cake gallery, but didn't think it was neccessary since everything is covered and it doesn't show anything inappropriate. Birthday cake done as a joke for a lady who just learned that "matching" is a good thing ;-). All MMF
Done for a homesick college student from South Florida. Chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream filling. Buttercream with MMF car made to look like his. Sign is MMF on white chocolate plaque. A BIG HUGE thanks to Melvira for sharing her buttercream smoothing tips!! THANK YOU!
I think everyone has to do one of these at some point lol. Somehow I love the irony of cake that looks like other food, and I'm getting even more of a kick out of this one because it's for a vegetarian cookout I'm going to tomorrow. I told the honoree that she gets to eat her first cheeseburger. :)
Done for a potluck dinner at a friend's house. I borrowed the idea from Antonia74's version of the Martha Stewart wedding cake. Lemon cake with blackberry jam filling and buttercream.
Cingular Wireless logo for a store party. French vanilla cake with strawberry jam filling iced in strawberry buttercream and covered in MMF. Forgive the shadows and the crooked angle, I had to take the picture at night before they came to pick it up and it was such a monster that I had to stand on a chair over it to get the whole thing!
This is a birthday cake for my husband and his boss - their birthdays are a few days apart. A big thanks to CAROJEN for her help with the details! Yankees cap for my husband is french vanilla cake with strawberry cream filling. Boston cap for the boss is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling. The ball is also french vanilla cake with buttercream filling. All MMF.
