the red circle around the dam was specially requested for this retirment cake. it was a very large cake and i forget how big it was. will have to dig in records. I used a photo online of Dworshak dam and mimicked the water flowing down.. Wilton plastic fish used in river.
the text was specifically requested to say "We Appreciate You!" and unreadable from the pic- on the bottom of the circle says Orofino Elem 2006 i think. i wasn't able to get as good of pics as i wished. large cake- . half vanilla half chocolate Not sure of its size but it was Huge!
I converted another by bringing this cake to the baby shower :) the mom to be fell in love with the cake and after the baby was born (itsaboy!) she started in to her own cake decorating hobby :)
I'm sorry these are so small; the full size pics are misplaced after all these years thats not suprising. I used a winnie the pooh pan; margarine tub lid coated with bc and edible glitter; real pansy from my garden placed in the angels hand and my step dad got my mom a new ring also placed in the angels hand. unseeable as the pics are too small.
Used the winnie the pooh pan; piping gel "water" wilton plastic fish; safety pin for "hook" and a candle for a cig- Made this for my stepfather who chainsmokes and loved it when we lit the fisherman's "cig"
a well liked employee was leaving for another job at hubby's office about six years ago! :) . cake style special request as with the text. My heart shaped pans were AWOL at the time lol. large 14" cake with "broken" heart cake on top. bc frosting
I found this theme right here on CC when i was googling for a reaper style "over the hill" cake :) in fact this cake was how i found CC! hehe 10" two layer triple chocolate-chocolatechip-fudge cake
My father inlaw is a county sheriff in clearwater county and heads up the Search and Rescue org. I've done several cakes for them; two of this style but i'm missing one pic- and that one's my fave. the missing one had a black and yellow band on the side just below the top trim. I'll be sure to post it when i find it. its a two layer 14" cake; sewing appliques for eagle and fish; copied from the Search and Rescue's own seal. grass sprinkled with edible glitter and water- piping gel.
a second cake to go with the first ribbon cake. not the best in the world but was severely limited on time. no sooner had i finished he was there to pick them up! lol
My father inlaw has a knack for calling me at the last minute for cakes for various occassions and this was no different lol. he said he didn't care what was on it just needed it in a couple hours. I love him to death he's a fantastic guy so i couldn't refuse. I found a couple packaging ribbons; used skittles for the trim on this one. not the prettiest cake but it worked in a pinch.
my FIL is a county sheriff and his undersheriff had a job offer out of town. the saying requested was "Its a Jail Break!" I used a disney mickey mouse pan and simply covered the ears with a "jail cap" 3d mini ball pan for "ball and chain" taken with web cam- was before my digital cam days
Have trunk will travel. Jello egg mold for "suitcase" chewing gum teeth; RI ears, paper flowers. Sign says "Easter Or Bust!"
Another office coworkers request; short notice but the girl loved it. colors by request. same kit as the previous barbie cake.
My son austin was turning 8 and was a fan of nascar. I forget which car this was modeled after; either Michael waltrip or Rusty wallace (5 years ago if this helps anyone lol) I used the car's color theme but changed the number for the Birthday boy turning 8.
several years ago I made this cake and an extra for my oldest son's birthday. he wanted the mad Scientist so he got it.
It was a birthday celebration for my aunt inlaw and grandmother-inla (grandma she says to call her so i does :)) this was my first shaped pan cake Ever done and i "twinned" it so not to have too much cake but to honor both. did not know about crumbcoating then as you can see- used a craft store stencil for belly flower :) I later used same theme for my twin step-sisters birthday only I laid the candles in the shape of 11 on each belly so that they were still "lightable"
my first attempt with fondant and it was a flop. Yup it was wiltons and i made the mistake of serving it at my son's birthday party. live and learn photo taken with web cam prior to my digital cam day (woefull look)
Friend of a friend's daughter's birthday. requesteda butterfly but i did not have a pan for it. this was my first attempt to cut it from a 14" round. used powder color to shade the sugar that went on the butterfly's body and edible glitter for the wing coloration. I was just glad the girl liked it :)
this was one of my first cakes I used a wilton pattern with. and never again lol Another one done in a rush but not too shabby. it was for my Mother inlaws bday
another view of the silk flower cactus cake.
one of many cactus cake's i've made and each one fools' the birthday recipients :) this one was fo rmy Mom. I took a shallow terracotta dish; lined with foil; greased baked a chocolate cake; removed the cake and foil then replaced the cake and topped with chocolate frosting and crushed oreo cookies for "dirt" then used 3d ball pan and almond slivers for "spines" Rose is a climing josephs coat from my garden.
cousin's daughters birthday; a haybale with hats from michaels craft section and farm toys from discount store; fork used to create haystrands. BC frosting; rubbermaid "lid" used for cake base and the bottom of the container used for cake "lid" had to package it this way because it was being transported 4 hours out of my hands and around alot of kids; makes a great cake carrier!
potato potato sometimes i typoe lol... zoomed out look fo whole cake. I added the picnic table cloth to add some effect to tell others this might be a bowl of ...er mashed potatoes lol.
one of the few times I used this pan. was for my youngest son Austins birthday- made a simple round cake with matching colors for extra guests.
Hubby's company had 3 people graduating from one thing or another that week so requested a cake to celebrate all 3. Used mini 3d teddy bear pan with company colors; flags bear Graduates name; BC frosting
Grad cake request. found a beanie baby brand puppy with grad cap and diploma; irony has it the dog was an exact replica of the grad's own dog lol. grads mom said no one would eat the cake for awhile- she figured out they all thought it was a real teddy bear. again corn starch not yet disolved by photo time.
