A few variations of some cupcakes I made this weekend. The white ones are hummingbird cake with cream cheese frosting. The chocolate ones are graham cracker cake with marshmallow filling and chocolate frosting.
I made this for my husband's birthday which was a couple days before the Deathly Hallows release. It's five 6" cakes stacked and carved for the body. I cut up a sixth one and used it for the head and tail. I'm disappointed about having to just put it on a platter. I'd wanted to make it look like the bottom of a cage covered in pages of the Daily Prophet but I ran out of time and didn't want to spend any more of his birthday working on it. Cinnamon roll cake with cream cheese frosting and fondant feathers. Thanks for looking!
Carved from two 8", a 7", and a 9". Coconut cake with lime cream cheese frosting. Inspired by merciermom's cake.
I'd originally designed this cake for the San Diego cake show, but I didn't get started in time to enter it. I decided to make it anyway since I'd ordered the supplies, but I changed the design a bit and decided to add the colors. Everything you see is either fondant or gumpaste. The cake itself is made from hand carved dummies since it was going to be a contest cake. It stands a little over 2 feet tall. TFL :)
I've seen pictures on other sites of real roses dyed to look like a rainbow so I wanted to try it in gumpaste, and I think it turned out pretty cute. My rose isn't the best because I'm still learning how to make those, but I definitely want to design a cake around some of these. TFL!
Whew! This was my first time decorating cookies. I followed antonia74's sugar cookie how-to, but obviously they're nowhere near as perfect as hers. I really like my designs though. TFL!
I made this to look like our Boston Terrier, Rocky. My husband requested it for his birthday. It's a combination of chocolate chip poundcake and RKT, covered in bc dream and Toba Garrett's fondant. I then painted it to give it the brindle effect, spots, eyes, etc.
Pooh and friends halloween! All figures and decorations made from fondant except candy corns and pretzel "sticks."
I wanted the pink to be lighter, but I used the wrong color. Oh well...still turned out cute. It was an 11x15 and two half ball pans with buttercream dream frosting.
I made these cupcakes for a Boston Terrier meetup we're going to. It's a potluck and I thought these would be fun to make. The cupcakes are all made from scratch (devil's food, lemon poppyseed, chocolate coconut, and vanilla) from WBH with BC Dream and Chocolate Decorator's Icing from the recipe section here. The ears are wafer cookies, eyes are M&Ms, noses are jellybeans, and tongues are starbursts.
Dummy cake. This was my first time doing gumpaste figures. It's definitely harder that it looks! ;) I want to try this again, but more details...
This was a cupcake cake I made to take to my husband's work. The idea was from the book Hello, Cupcake. I was happy with it, but I wish I would have had a darker blue, they were all pretty close. Coconut cupcakes, raspberry filling, and WBH BC.
Wow! This cake gave me trouble every step of the way. It was my first time using gumpaste (bow) and I ended up making a new one the day it was due. It was also my first time doing one so large (12, 9, 6) AND my first time not covering in fondant. The tiers are lemon w. lemon lime filling, strawberry w. strawberry buttercream filling, and WASC w. bavarian cream filling. Sugarshack's buttercream w. MMF decorations.
Dummy cake covered in bc, all freehand. Inspired by a tie I saw shopping with my husband today :)
This is my first purse cake. I made it for a bake sale benefiting the Susan G. Komen foundation. I like how the purse itself turned out....don't like the letters or ribbons. Next time I'm definitely going to paint instead of piping! My handle also started to crack (50/50) I guess I need to let it dry longer?
This was my first tiered cake. I made it for the San Diego Cake Show. I was definitely out of my league but I really enjoyed making it and was happy with the outcome. I'll be stepping it up next year though! The cake is yellow covered in bc and MMF. The stars/moon are MMF with luster dust. The clouds are bc. The piped stars and border are royal. Inspired by several cakes on here such as Juju3636's sweet 16 cake.
Replica of my husband's dirtbike helmet that I made for his 30th birthday.
