Hershey's special dark chocolate cake and frosting. Marshmallow fondant M&M. Didn't turn out as well as I would have liked....should have trimmed the cake layers down. After filling and frosting they ended up taller than the kit kats, so I couldn't really sit Ms. Green down in the M&M's. I was so looking forward to making this cake, but now I'm just disappointed :(
Marshmallow fondant M&M figure I made for dd's candy barrel cake. She was perfectly smooth until one of my kids splashed a drop of water on her and gave her a "dimple".
Cupcake cake. All buttercream.
My first cupcake cake. The details/outline didn't show up too well in the photo since my daughter wanted the dog to be chocolate. The dog actually has a cute little tail curling over it's back just like our pom.
My first ball cake.....for my husband, a huge Tarheels fan. I didn't trim enough off the bottom of ball to begin with and it started to roll off (know to use a board underneath next time). I had to trim more off and repair the top of the cake, so the ball doesn't look round enough to me....but my husband loved it so that's what counts :)
Inspired by a cake from "cakesbyashley".
Minnie Mouse for my daughter's 2nd Birthday. I definately need lots of practice in writing.
I made this for my mom's birthday since she loves snowmen. White cake with black cherry filling, buttercream and MMF figures. It was my first time making fondant figures. I watched Lorraine's (aine2) videos, so a big THANK YOU to her.
My girls fell in love with the Care Bears cake made by lynsey. So this is what I came up with. Thanks lynsey for the inspiration! All buttercream with MMF accents.
For my daughter's Sweet 16....all BC with fondant accents. My first time using a diamond impression mat and dragees and pearl dust. Fondant painted with super pearl.
My second stacked cake, 12" yellow 8" chocolate with SugarShack's buttercream for my dd's 10th birthday. Bratz is a chocolate transfer (2nd attempt, 1st came out much better and shiny but she broke :( when I was trying to move her to a safe location aka away from my kids!). Not sure why the 2nd one "peeled" and didn't come out so shiny? Sorry for the background. I didn't put the topper on until I moved the cake to a table in my dining room for fear she would fall over and break.
My first ribbon rose. These are the kind I want to put on dd's Sweet 16 cake next month, so I need alot of practice. I want them to have a more "ruffled" look instead of just a rolled up look. I guess I'm not pinching and gathering correctly.
My first try at making a Duff Rose. Not perfect, but it was fun. Hopefully they will only get better.
For dd's 1st birthday.... and many firsts for me! My first stacked cake. My first use of MMF. My first CT(didn't turn out so well, but tired of trying after making 4 of them). My first gumpaste. Cake wasn't exactly what I had envisioned, but I think it turned out ok for a first try. I had to leave off the fondant bows I made because I didn't have enough room. Thank you to everyone here at CC that answered my many questions in preparation for this cake...I don't know if I could have done it without you!
My very first cookies! NFSC with BC. Yummy!
Not perfect after a long day of cooking/baking and then making cupcakes late at night, but my girls loved them. Thanks Satin for the help and inspiration!
All BC for my daughter's birthday. I still need alot of practice on my reverse shells, but my daughter loved it!
My first try with a character pan for my daughter's 3rd birthday. It was harder than I thought! Chocolate, all BC with a fondant bone "name tag".
Strawberry cake, all BC for my daughter's 7th birthday. I was really pleased with how this turned out. I just recently started doing cakes as a hobby for my family and this cake proved all the hard work is worth it......you should have seen my little girl's face when she saw her cake (before it was even finished). Her eyes lit up and he gave me the biggest best hug, it brought tears to my eyes. Being able to put a smile on a child's face like that is priceless!!
For my nephew's birthday....1/2 sheet yellow cake iced in a variation of Buttercream Dream. Started out with a piping gel transfer, but only Batman transferred completely so I had to freehand Wonder Woman and part of Superman. I know I need alot of work on my shells and reverse shells, but so far I've only gotten to take Course I and I've been trying to teach myself as I wait for a weekend class. But my nephew seemed happy with it!
I made this for my daughter's 15th Birthday. She loves to draw manga and watch anime. Gaara is her favorite Naruto character. All buttercream, used graham cracker crumbs for the sand.
My 1st FBCT for my daughter's 9th birthday.....didn't turn out how I wanted.....but tasted great! I made the chocolate version of WASC and iced in snow white BC.
This is the first cake I made in Course 1. It is yellow cake with pineapple filling and BC icing.
