Small wedding cake for a friend's son.
Birthday Cake for four - men and women. Saw this design in fondant by kwebbeltje ( http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1481334 ). They don't like fondant - so I did my best in buttercream. I still think it's a cute design (hope kwebbeltje doesn't mind!).
We have five birthdays the last week of February. This one is the boys'. Chocolate fudge cake, peanut butter cream cheese mousse filling, chocolate smbc icing. Wanted to practice my buttercream skills a bit. I had trouble with this batch, and it didn't get very stiff, so it was really hard to work with - wasn't very happy with how this one turned out. Also, I added chocolate, cocoa powder and brown food coloring, and couldn't get the icing darker for the decorations. I wanted the vines and such to really stand out but it just wasn't cooperating!
We have five birthdays the last week of February. This one is the girls. Strawberry cake, vanilla mousse filling, smbc icing and flowers. Wanted to practice my buttercream skills a bit. I wanted more flowers, but ran out of icing!
Made it to match the gift box (which matched the shirt and sweatshirt I got her).
1st Birthday Dump Truck Cake to go with the Construction theme birthday party supplies.
For a coworkers daughter. A combination of a few designs they found - I don't know who to give credit to. Thanks for looking.
Fiesta Birthday cake for a coworkers Grandma. Had a disaster - the ruffles pulled the icing off the side of the cake after it was done. I had remove the ruffles and the sides and repair it (left the top on). Turned out ok I think in spite of the repair - buttercream isn't smooth like I wanted. I used bit and pieces of many cakes I looked at to settle on this. It's margarita cake with margarita buttercream and lime curd filling.
For my nephew's wedding. Approximately 500 gumpaste hydrangea blossoms on there. I thought I'd never get them done! Thanks for looking!
For my friend's grandson's 3rd birthday. I saw lots of this desing when I was looking around for ideas - not sure who to credit.
For my niece's bridal shower. Making a hydrangea cake for her wedding, and wanted to show her a sample of the flowers. The blue and yellow bows are her wedding colors.
A thank you cake for the physical therapy center that helped me out with a TMJ problem I was having. They were so good to me, I wanted to do a little something for all the folks there. I love the borders and designs of London Cakes - this is a totally a knock-off of their standard cake designs (though not nearly as good). It was yummy though - Macsmom's orange dreamsicle cake with Grand Marnier swiss meringue buttercream. Delicious!!
Mardi Gras 30th Birthday cake. Based on a photo the birthday girl's sister sent me. I don't know whose design it was, and in searching around, I saw many versions of this.
Cowboy hat cake for my nephew. I don't know who to attribute the design to as I saw many of these types when searching around for ideas.
For my great-niece's 4th Birthday. Fairies theme - they had a campout. She wanted fairies around a campfire.
Just wanted an old fashioned victorian looking Easter egg design.
She just loves Elmo. I wanted more detail and the cupcakes were supposed to be the other Sesame Street characters - but I've been rather under the weather after getting a wisdom tooth pulled. I think it turned out cute anyway.
Made for her real birthday day.
Tiara is gumpaste with fondant decorations. I can't remember whose design it was! I only had 2 days to make this, so no time to try a royal icing tiara.
Made these for my cousin's wedding. Yep - 100 of them. About 2 days, no sleep, and I think I literally cried the last 2 hours before I was done! (I'll never do them again!) LOL The top cake has crystals on the side, and the musical notes were chocolate molds. The chocolate cakes were covered in poured chocolate ganache. The white ones were supposed to be, but I just couldn't get the white chocolate ganache to work. I ended up icing all 50 with buttercream! They were filled with raspberry - and the white ones were champagne cake. Thanks for looking.
I was trying out a new recipe - made a marbled neapolitan cake - and we have five birthdays in February - guys and gals. So - I made this gift box with mini cakes for each. Was very displeased with my bow - I used marshmallow fondant - which never would really get hard enough. Next time, I'll use gumpaste.
This year's Valentine's Day cookies I made for family and friends.
Quinceanera cake (this also had two, 2-layer side cakes not shown in pic). Largest cake I've ever done! She picked this cake to match her dress.
I made this for my daughter's friend - leaving for the military. I wasn't real pleased with how the yellow ribbon came out - but I wasn't sure how to make it ahead of time to try and get the shape right.
