This is my first attempt at a gelatin flowers. I like them but they do require some patience!
This is a styrofoam dummy mini wedding cake I made at the Mid-Michigan Sugar Art Workshops. It is covered in fondant and decorated with royal icing, fondant butterflies and pearl dust.
I used another pic from this site and figured out how to do it myself. This is a carrot cake with buttercream frosting. The cap is a half-round covered in fondant. The top of the cap is a cut piece of cardboard with fondant as well. The flower is fondant on a wire dusted with luster dust and the diploma is rice paper with edible food writers.
I actually did this cake for a demonstration for classes. I came up with the idea from a cake in a book I just purchased, but I changed it up to do the whole cake in buttercream. I wanted to keep it simple enough so people wouldn't be intimidated by the design. The colors worked better than I thought they would!
All buttercream except for the fondant beach towel and sandals. The seashells are white chocolate that I dusted with luster dust.
I did this for my mom last year. The entire cake is iced with buttercream, including the roses.
This is my first topsy-turvy cake. It is covered in fondant. The bottom tier is chocolate and the top two layers are yellow butter. The masks are handmade from fondant and painted with luster dusts. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The birthday girl was really excited about it!
Everything about this cake is chocolate. It was for a coworker of my husband. He wanted chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. I tried to make a manly looking cake so I tried geometrics and filigrees.
This cake is adapted from a Wilton design. It is carrot with spice buttercream and sweet peas down the sides. I also used fresh flowers.
This is my adaptation of another cake addicts cake. The cake is a chocolate layer cake decorated with buttercream. The animals are hand made in fondant. These were my first fondant figures and they came out pretty cute. I love the monkeys and the hippo. The parent's of the birthday boy loved it!
I did this to go along with the FBCT sheet cake. See sheet cake for ranting about the cake problems, but this was a mini cake for the birthday boy. I thought it was cute.
This is my first FBCT. I had a horrible time icing the cake. I have made this recipe a million times, but this time I had a ton of crumbs. I love the FBCT. I have a lot to practice, but I will definitely do them again!
This is my first Fondant cake and I had to do this for a man. I used the MMF. I love this stuff!!
I did this cake for a demonstration for Wilton cake classes. Everything is done with buttercream.
I did this cake really quickly to put on display for Wilton cake classes at Hobby Lobby. The fondant wasn't even smoothed out and one of the royal icing flowers broke when they moved the display case, but they are still getting a lot of students because of this. The daisies did come out pretty well though.
These are some of my royal icing flowers I did for a birthday cake. I never tried sunflowers before, but I like how they came out.
I made this cake for my great-grandmother's 92nd birthday last year. The green is a little bright, but the petunia's came out well with the royal icing. This was before I found out how to smooth buttercream icing!
This was a carrot cake for a Christmas birthday. I never made poinsettias before and I did these with royal icing. I should have put "Happy Christmas Birthday" instead, but I was apparently in a really Christmasy mood!
This is my first wedding cake. It is based on a Wilton design and the bride wanted the same color morning glories. Flowers are made with royal icing and sprays are handmade. The cake was fudge marble and the filling was chocolate ganache with Godiva Chocolate liquor. I also used my own almond buttercream.
