This was inspired by several similiar cakes in the gallery. It's two layers, bottom is chocolate with cookies and cream filling and top is butter pecan with maple cream cheese icing, covered with fondant. I used Michelle Foster's recipe listed here on CC. It works great. Although I did a terrible fondant job on the top layer (the bottom I did fine). That's why there are more mountains on layer two, to hide it, LOL. The cars are toys we bought. The writing is on rice paper with computer.
30 cupcakes....colors and stripes match invitation
8" round cake with one side cut off, covered in fondant to look like a make-up bag. Makeup is made of fondant/gumpaste mix and painted with nu-silver dust. Made for my good friends daugther.
two 11x15 cakes stacked, with a 6" round under the flag to give it some depth. Fondant flag and stars painted with my airbrush. The plaque and banner was printed on wafer paper and stuck on fondant. Used gold dust to paint the rope edge. Made for the Coast Guard Picnic day and I won the $50 gift certificate for the desert competition. (my husband entered a cheesecake and he was so disappointed he didn't win I gave it to him and spent money on myself too, LOL) Inspired by Janet's fab flag cakes.
Turtle and frog baby shower, wasc cake, chocolate transfers
Made this for my daugther's birthday party today. Two 8" layers, chocolate with cookies and cream filling. Used a diamond quilting mat and piped some dots. Ribbon border on top and shells on the bottom. The crown I got from Claire's in the mall. : ) Darn, I see I took a photo with the crown facing the back of the cake, LOL. Will try to get a better pic at the party.
I did these floral cupcakes for a photography class I am in. We had to bring food to take pics using studio lights. The king size cupcakes tipped over in the car and got mashed but i managed to save one by turning the smashed part to the back. Inspired by the cupcake cafe. : ) These are the best roses I think I have EVER done. I used a chocolate kiss for the center.
Did this one for practice. I like how it turned out.
My first (and only) wedding cake, done for supplies and experience only. It went soo smoothly it was almost unreal. I am very proud of it. It was enough cake for 100 people and only about 40 showed up. (I was a friend so I also attended the wedding and cut the cake). They were so sweet about it and thanked me in their wedding speech. This was a wilton design. Using the garden cake stand.
DId this one for an event.
Care Bear CCC
This was for Juliette Low day that our local girl scouts did over the weekend. Her birthday is Oct 31. She is the woman who founded the girl scouts and she was quite a character. : ) The design on the cake looks just like patch the girls earned. That is her siloutte and she always wore pearls. It's two 11x15's put together. Half yellow half chocolate.
Made this huge 53 cupcake cake for the principle at my son's pre-school. he was the principle for my daughters Christian School last year but they decided after 27 years to close down and just do the preschool. He has decided to move on and he will be missed. This thing was huge and I had to use part of a vacuume box for the board. Almost made it too big to fit out the door, LOL.
3-d Garfield Cake made using marshmallow fondant and a 2 lb bucket of satin ice I had sitting around. I think I used all together probably 3 pounds of fondant! Garfield is sitting on a 9x13 sheet cake. I airbrushed the color on Garfield and his blanket and his wood box he is sleeping in.
This is just the top tier of the Summer Daze whimsy cake in the WBH book. I did it for a girl scout fundraiser auction and they told me when I dropped it off they were going to put it in the call out auction rather than the silent acution so that made me feel good. Plus the council leader asked me if I would make a cake for a troop sometime and I said of course. : ) Chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling and italian meringue buttercream. Chocolate runouts.
Here is a floral baby shower inspired by Cupcake Cafe cakes. Not quite as good as theirs but I was pretty happy as I don't do many florals. Should have used more roses.
This was a cake I did for my best friend's little boy. He just loves Yu-gi. The boys all fought over who got to eat the eyes... (go figure, LOL)
This was a cake I made for an auction. It's fondant covered with fondant ribbon roses. The design was not my own, I think it was designed by Sugar Creations. : )
Here is one I forgot to post. A pumpkin ccc for my daugther's class.
CCC I made for a holiday party. Don't know how many are in it cause I didn't count and meant to take a pic but forgot!! I think there are 26 maybe 27. First time ever using my airbrush on a cake though! : )
This was for my women's hockey team. We were league champs and we had orange jerseys. I thought Bill the cat was perfect fit. : ) I used Wilton's orange spray for Bill. Chocolate cake with vanilla mouse filling.
This is a copy of a cake design I saw on another board. I made this for my dd's kindergarten class. I used the wilton and betty crocker sprays to color it (and lots of paper towels to mask off where I didn't want it to spray). It has 24 cupcakes in it.
I made 16 of these giant cookies (6" tall) for my dd's class. I love how they turned out but even though the design was fairly simple, they took forever!! : )
Here is a cake I did for an auction. Bavarian cream filling with some bailey's in it and coffee flavored IMBC (with some regular bc thrown in as I didn't have enough of either, tasted good like this!) Chocolate drizzles.
The pumpkin is made from two cupcakes stacked and covered in MM fondant. The little scarecrow is made from MM fondant.
I am so proud of this cake. This is my first carved 3d cake!! It's cherry chip WASC recipe (no filling), leftover buttercream and mm fondant. I painted the eyes and shaded everything with wilton food coloring and lemon extract. I included the wilton jar to show you what size it is. It probably serves 3 maybe 4 people.
