Frozen butter cream transfer of the Wicked Playbill. Thanks for looking!
This cake was for a retirement party to match the party invitation/beach theme. The shells are gum paste and the coral is royal icing. Thanks for looking!
This was a cake I made for a going away party for my brother who was leaving for a semester at sea. It was supposed to be a sinking ship (per his request!). I did absolutely no planning and gave no thought as to how to actually make a ship, or how to make it look like it was sinking, until I started to decorate the cake. Thats when I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I think I just kind of figured that I could cut a piece of cake, wrap it in fondant and stick it in the sheet cake at an angle and that would magically look like a sinking ship! And the best part is that we forgot to serve it! It was in a fridge in the basement and we realized after everyone left that we had never taken it out!
The balls of yarn are cupcakes covered with buttercream and the knitting needles are wooden skewers with fondant tops.
This was for a 2-year-olds birthday. The arms, legs and nose are breadsticks covered in fondant and the shoes are Mallomars (which kind of fell apart; I probably should have just used cake). I found directions on the Nickjr website (they actually have a bunch of cake how-tos for Nick characters) and used some of those ideas.
This was for a friends sister-in-law who is obsessed with Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. It was a carved 11x15 cake with vanilla buttercream. The decorations are all fondant. I used Wilton Foodwriters to draw the pictures in the bottom corner, which worked until I got to the lettuce (try to ignore the green blob!).
This was for my grandfather, who used to be big into bowling (candlepin, for those of you outside of New England!). The pins and ball are made of fondant and the alley is peanut butter buttercream with brown coloring mixed in. Thanks for looking!
This was for a co-workers daughter. The barn is a cake baked in a mini-loaf pan, the road is crushed cookies and the fence is made of pretzels rods held together with melted chocolate. The picture wasnt taken at the best angle, but thanks for looking!
The cake was half yellow and half chocolate with vanilla buttercream. I used crushed golden Oreos (with chocolate creme) for the gravel and Wilton frosting for the roads. The customer gave me the toys to use. Thanks for looking!
Both cakes are yellow with raspberry filling and almond buttercream, covered with fondant. The balls/pearls are also fondant (hand-rolled - if there's an easier way could someone let me know?!) and the customer gave me the "50" to use for the top.
I made these cupcakes for a friend's wedding. Half of the cupcakes were yellow, the other half were chocolate and I used vanilla buttercream. The flowers are fondant. I made 200 cupcakes but I could only fit about 125 cupcakes on the cupcake tree. Thanks for looking!
I made this for my grandfather's birthday. It was all yellow cake - I used peanut butter frosting for the "coffee" and the bottom cake and vanilla buttercream for the coffee cup. I wasn't totally happy with the rim of the cup but I was pretty pleased with the writing on the cup!
This was for my father's birthday. I used black Wilton frosting for the side, burnt marshmallows for the "coals", spaghetti coated with brown food coloring for the "grate", and yellow fondant for the "cheese". The "burgers" were chocolate bc covered with crushed oreos.
Spaghetti and (Ferrero Rocher) meatballs, with pureed strawberry ice cream topping for sauce and grated white chocolate for the parmesan cheese. And there is an 8" cake underneath all that "spaghetti"! A co-worker wanted a spaghetti and meatball cake and I got all of the ideas from CC!! Thanks!!
This was for a baby shower. It was for a co-worker and she didn't want anything baby-related on it! (Try to ignore the errant shell in the border!)
This was for a 4-year-old's beach-themed birthday party last year. I used crushed graham crackers for the sand and fruit roll-ups for the towels.
This was my first attempt at using fondant cutouts.
The writing on the tag came out AWFUL, but other than that I was pretty happy with it!
I made this for a friend's son and his classmates for their preschool graduation. The faces and caps are made of fondant.
