I bought the Wilton guitar pan but decided to carve the cake myself instead. Good thing since all the cake got eaten and this one was much bigger than the pan. Pretty happy with most of it except the frets. They are a bit wonky. The strings are uncooked spaghetti noodles covered with silver luster dust.
Made this with the Wilton pan and a store bought Tinkerbell Doll. Sometimes the simplest cakes get the bigget reactions. This one was a hit and not that difficult. Was fun to do
My niece wanted a Bolt and a Cinderella cake so I made Bolt pulling her carriage and the little hamster driving. Cake is buttercream except the carriage which is covered in fondant. The Bolt characters I made by hand from polymer clay. The Cinderella is store bought. There were lots of minor disasters on this cake but fortunately most of them could be covered up. : )
This was for a 40th birthday. Plane is made of cake covered with fondant. Wings are cardboard covered in fondant. My fist time sculpting cake! Very fun but I made a huge mess. LOL. I made the pilot from Polymer Clay.
This cake was done for a girl who loves the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. Pumpkins and headstones handmade out of gumpaste - Jack Skelington and gate toppers I made from polymer clay. Black candles make up the fence to pumpkin patch.
Made this for my niece's 3rd birthday. Cake topper is made from polymer clay. Buttercream Dream recipe. It was super windy out and flying debris began to land on the cake so we ate it up quick. Stairs are made out of those weirdly good and bad all in one wafer cookies.
First purse cake, actually fondant covered rice krispy treats. Handle, compact and lipstuck are gumpaste/fondant combo. Made it for the Wilton gumpast and fondant class
Here is a cake from my 20 year (GASP!) class reunion. Buttercream icing. The letters are wood and I made the topper out of polymer clay.
Here is a picture of a pool cake done for a friends son. The party was at Best Western so I've attached a link to the hotels site as the cake is inspired by the pool. Couldn't seem to get that curved slide to work. Thanks for looking http://www.bestwesternplymouth.com/
This is a cake I did for a couple where the groom was a semi pro wrestler. The cake is supposed to look the crowd ropes and the topper to look like a wrestling ring. The cake was a hit but by the time it was cut it had begun to slant in one direction. It was 95 degrees here in MN today though. The topper is made out of polymer clay
Cake topper for my aunt who is a quilter.
This is a cake for my Aunt's 70th birthday. She is an avid quilter. Not as intricate as her actual quilts but was fun to do. Had a little trouble with the lower left hand corner. Tried to use the Wilton spray and mostly made a mess but I was happy with the rest.
This is a hippy cake for a 50th birthday. I wish I had taken a better picture. There is a VW bus driving on a road with a hippy looking for a ride to "Smithstock" (the name of the party) The topper on top is Janis, Jimi and the birthday boy
This is a cake for my son's preschool's teacher's retirement. Buttercream icing , the kids and slide are made out of gumpaste. I made the topper out of polymer clay.
Buttercream frosting with gumpaste swirlies on top and sides.
My husband flies radio controlled gliders so for his birthday I made this from gumpaste. It was quite challenging as it was my first attempt at gumpaste sculpting. I attached the two outer orange parts of the wings with royal icing and sat them on top of the handles of two steak knives so they would be angled up. I used a new nail file to smooth it all down
The couple had a cave man and woman on the invitation that read "Mandi became giddi when Joe gave her the big rock!" So I made the cake look a little "rocky" Buttercream icing and those are Malted Milk balls around the edges and I made the topper out of polymer clay. Fun one to make!!!
Bride and groom made from gumpaste.
For a little girl's 5th birthday, she loves pink so we made Rocket from Little Einstein's pink instead of red
For my niece's first birthday. Pooh, Piglet, Lumpy, balloons and blanket are hand made from gumpaste.
Used edible markers and paint to draw the kitty, swirls and the words on Marshmallow fondant.
This cake was inspired by my son's first bouquet of dandelions he gave me recently. He very carefully put them in a coffee cup for me. I thought it was the best mother's day present ever.
This is a tiny cake inspired by Ellyrae's Great outdoors contest cake. No where as great as the original but was fun to make!
