WASC and strawberry cupcakes. Unfortunately the strawberry cupcakes didn't rise, but they do have nice flavor.
WASC with buttercream frosting. The cars are made from gumpaste using sand molds I found at Dollar Tree. The other accents are made from fondant.
Hummingbird Cake with cream cheese filling and bc icing. First attempt at gumpaste roses. TFL.
WASC with BC and fondant accents.
This is my first attempt at a cookie cake.
This is a baby shower cake I did for a couple of male co-workers. One is having a girl and the other a boy. Also decor matches the patterns of the graco systems we gave each of them.
Here is a half sheet WASC cake I did for a little boy's first birthday. I had never seen Mickey's clubhouse so I had to research it online. In most of the pictures I saw Mickey would his foot sticking out and hand standing up. I happen to stumble across an episode and discovered this is the clubhouse :). I read on another picture that the clubhouse was a piggy bank; sorry I don't remember whose. Luckily I was able to find one. I also did the shower cake or should I say welcome cake since he came before the shower.
Here is a 12in WASC cake with buttercream icing I completed this morning.
This is a cake I did for my Aunt's 55th surprise birthday party. Amaretto with buttercream. TFL.
Here is a cake I did for a coworker. I saw the bag and loved it and decided to capture its essence with the cake using the few cutters I have. It is a strawberry cake with a cream cheese filling with strawberries and cream cheese icing.
Just a cake I did to use up some very ripe bananas :). I used a non-crusting cream cheese icing so it was hard to smooth.
This is a birthday cake I did for 3 male coworkers. I used the darn good chocolate cake recipe from this site. It was a BIG hit. I tried ganache for the first time and I can't say I really liked it. I ended up making buttercream and using the leftover ganache for the strawberries and drizzle. For some reason I couldn't get it to go on the side like i wanted and since I was pressed for time I decided to try and wipe it off. Not a good idea :), but otherwise not too bad. TFL.
This is the wizard of oz cake I did for my friend's baby shower. I ended up having some problems with the rainbow so in the final version it is shorter. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Especially since I made the shoes, flowers and rainbow this morning :).
Actually it is the 2nd. I had problems with the first one I made. For some stupid reason I thought I could skip leveling the 3 layers; doh. The top layer ended up splitting and one piece came off when I was icing. The 2nd one came out much better. I made a less sweet cream cheese icing that I liked a lot better; non-crusting so I didn't even try to smooth. TFL.
This is a WASC with buttercream icing I completed today for a baby that is already here. I had my high school union this weekend so I made the cakes Friday morning and wrapped them. Today I had to level and fill, color icing and decorated. I was actually able to do it in less than 2 hrs, which is impressive for me. I made the fondant animals last weekend. I used the wilton candy mold. I added the eyes, etc today. TFL.
This is a cake I did for a co-worker's baby shower we're having today. Since it is for a guy, I didn't want it too cutesy :). It is an amaretto WASC with buttercream frosting.
This is a cake I did for a friend's birthday. I decided to practice using my stencil. One day I'll get the hang of it :). TFL.
Here is a cake I did for the son of a very good friend for his 18th bday. This was my first time working with an edible image. I now know to apply before icing has crusted :) . Was suppose to resemble newspaper, but I wasn't able to get it smooth so I had to add border and coverage on the sides.
This is a graduation cake I did for my dear friend's son. Thanks to Conkam for the inspiration.
Here is a birthday cake I did for a friend. I wanted it to look like a scrapbook page; this is what i came up with. TFL.
This is the cake I did for my mom's surprise 55th birthday. First time using stencil and can't say it was easy. It looks better in the pictures than it did in person to me. Went off and forgot the fondant happy birthday plaque I made for the center tier, but no one seemed to notice. Added the fake flowers to cover flaws. Everyone thought it looked good so that made me feel better. It was way too much cake, but I knew that going in :). TFL.
This is another jersey cake I did for my youngest nephew. He loved his brother's cake and wanted one too :) . Their birthdays are 2 wks apart.
This is a quick cake I put together for my aunt's birthday. It was last minute so my fondant handle didn't have time to dry. It stayed up long enough for a picture :). It is one of 3 cakes I've been working on since Thursday night.
This is a cake I did for my nephew's birthday. I tried to copy his basketball jersey. His number is 12 and he turned 12. I'm pleased considering I didn't have any of my usual tools since I wasn't at home. Plus he absolutely loved it :). TFL
This is to celebrate my coworker's 20 years at Dell. We have been fortunate to survive the many layoffs :). I'm happy with the logo and the color. Almost had a perfect and smooth square, but I had to move it and the bottom layer stuck and the top 2 slid a little. I'm getting close though. TFL.
Here is a little birthday cake I did for a friend with left over icing from another cake. Tried making 3 rose directly on the cake, but every time I started the 2nd rose I would bump and mess up the first one. I finally gave up and tried something else.
