Cake I did for coworker's baby shower/going away party back July.
Amaretto cake with cream cheese frosting for my friend's son who is leaving for the Navy Monday. I got the flag petal effect idea from a cake by KakesbyKaran.
Chocolate with chocolate ganache, strawberry with strawberry cream cheese frosting and strawberry with strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream. I tried to match the top of the wedding invitations on some of the chocolate cupcakes. Boy was it hard getting the ribbon to stay on. I finally found method that seemed to work ok, but because it took so long I was only able to do 12 of them.
This is 4 - 9in layers of WASC with caramel filling and IMBC frosting. I used 2 cans of Duff's silver spray to cover the cake. I'm not happy with the ice. My first attempt was a nicer color, but it melted b/c i didn't cook the sugar long enough (you can see it at the very bottom). I tried again with my weird shaped silcone tray and didn't like the color. I mixed in white color. Made another batch after buying a regular ice tray. Next time I'll try isomalt.
9in hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing. Gumpaste daisy.
Two layer 9x13 scratch WASC with buttercream frosting.
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
Double layer 9x13 chocolate cake with American buttercream. Customer placed the horses.
This is a 8 in chocolate cake with raspberry filling and IMBC frosting. I originally posted a picture of this cake with writing I did free-hand. I decided I didn't like it and was able to get my cricut working. The color is off, but it looks better than what I had before. TFL
Three layer white almond sour cream cake. This was my first attempt at a frozen buttercream transfer. There are a few things I'd do differently so I will try it again :).
6 inch yellow cake with chocolate icing.
I made Italian Meringue ButterCream for the first time. I made these cupcakes so I could use the icing and have some people try them and give me their opinion. They were a hit at the salon. I will definitely be making more IMBC in the future.
Here is a carrot cake with cream cheese icing I did for my coworker's birthday. He loves to hunt and always brings in deer sausage.
This is my first official disaster. This is a cake I did for my cousin's first birthday. I didn't have any of my cake stuff with me.I had to go out a bought a few things. I didn't even have a metal spatula. After adding the border on the top cake I removed the star tip from one bag and when I went to put it on the other bag so I could do a border on the bottom cake I couldn't find it... vanished in thin air. Needless to say I was running behind and didn't get a chance to take a picture before I left. When I arrived at the party after 10 miles on Houston's bumpy roads I discovered the top tier shifted. I tried to fix it and added the owl. I went to the car to get my camera and came back to find it being fixed because the owl decided to take a dive. It broke in half, but they were able to stick it back on. Oh I forgot to add I asked my mom to take the last 9-in cake out of the oven while I ran to Walmart. It was still in the oven when I returned. I had to redo the layer using a slightly different recipe. I guess it just wasn't my day for cakes. It did taste good which is what really counts :).
Here is a 8 in ( 3 layers each torted) bucket cake I did for a friend of a really good friend. Instead of coloring the buttercream I used Duff's silver spray paint. For some reason the one can didn't quite cover the cake as it should have. Beer bottle is made out of sugar. The label is not edible as I don't have an edible printer. TFL.
Scratch WASC with caramel filing and caramel cream cheese frosting. The icing was way to runny after I added the color. I tried putting the icing bag in the freezer, but that didn't help much. I'll definitely try this technique again with a crusting buttercream.
Here is a cake I did for my god-daughter's 8th day. The bottom is 10" chocolate with chocolate ganache filling and cream cheese icing. The top is 6" scratch WASC with cream cheese icing. The bday girl said she wanted chocolate with cream cheese icing. When I asked her what colors she said red and pink, which is why I had a few red accents.
Simple 8in chocolate cake with chocolate ganache icing.
Here is a beer bucket cake I did for my manager's 40th bday. It is 3 - 9 in chocolate layers each torted with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate ganache frosting. I used Duff's silver spray paint to color. Had to get another can do do the borders and handles. It made the color look off in some spots, but overall happy. This was my first time doing sugar bottles. I made the mold using mold builder. The labels are edible images. Everyone was impressed with beer bottles.
Here is a camouflage stroller cake I did. I didn't want to cute out the piece to really make it look like a stroller. I was hoping piping details would accomplish what I was going for, but not so much :). TFL.
One of my best friends had a movie themed 40th birthday party. The top cake is hummingbird with cream cheese icing. It gave me a lot of trouble and I couldn't get the icing smooth. The bottom is chocolate with white chocolate ganache. The stars, clapboard and outer part of movie reels are gumpaste. Carpet and film are fondant. TFL.
Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. First attempt at swirls. I put the ganache in the freezer to thicken up. It came out smooth at first and then got rather stiff.
