Fur/grass tip for Elmo's fur, mini marshmallows for eyes and nose, black frosting for pupils and mouths. Used almost a full container of "very red" coloring and a bit of "Christmas red". It took a few hours for the red to show up this bright. Went over very well.
Freehand Elmo with the "grass/fur" tip and mini marshmallows for the eyes and nose. Used a partially decorated cake I got from Community Kitchen.
The crane is origami made from a square piece of very thin MMF. Very pleased this worked!! Gold luster dust adorns the crane and top of the cake. I spilled some and had to make it look intentional. :)
I think this was my first MMF fondant cake. I was also practicing the tiering - pillars and stacking. Was happy with this one for a first try. Had trouble making the fondant rope. Flowers are royal icing.
Three tiers, chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate fudge frosting, topped with vanilla buttercream and then MMF. White chocolate shells with luster dust.
Fondant covered, four tier, two layers each, fondant orchids, chocolate shells, dolphin topper. Took about five days all together.
This was my Mother's Day cake that I made for myself to express this desire to the Universe to become a Mommy! Chocolate fudge frosting with whipped ganache filling, "Chocolate - Better Than S**" Cake.
My first tiered cake. Push in pillars made that very easy! Chocolate Explosion Cake with whipped ganache filling (YUMMY!) and chocolate fudge frosting. Royal icing roses. Scroll work on the sides (first time doing that, too). I was trial running this flavor combo. for our future wedding cake, so decided to post it here. I learned a lot on this cake! Chocolate frosting warms up and thins out a lot in the bag as you decorate with it. Glad it turned out OK. Tastes good!
This is my Finale Cake for the Wilton Course II class. The butterflies are colorflow. The flowers are royal icing. The basketweave and icing is buttercream. I thought it was pretty.. This cake developed cracks in the frosting and a huge earthquake-like crack down the center by the time I got home. See that picture in the Cake Disasters forum in thread called "Earthquake Cake...".
Decided to post this here, also, because it was made specifically for a Chinese theme party. Dragon is buttercream frosting with white chocolate lavendar colored spikes. He's made from an 8" round, a 9" long oval, and 2 cupcakes.
Bunny Cake with basic buttercream frosting
Just stars and writing. Chocolate cake!
The ribbon says "Good Luck + Erin Go Braugh!". Chrysanthemum flowers and shamrocks from buttercream. Crown shell edge and reverse shell border on the bottom.
Shaped shell pan, spatula striped shells on the sides, barnacles, and a pearl.
Drop flowers, roses, writing. A cake to thank our pet sitter. She loved it!
Just practicing with roses and string writing, drop flowers and dots.
This was made for my first anniversary with my partner. It was also my first decorated cake since I started learning. This was made prior to any training, but using the Wilton Course I book. This cake shows my first roses - which have improved a lot since then. That single one in the heart is the VERY first rose I ever made. I know they aren't great, but I was proud of it..
Birthday cake for a fellow student in my knitting class, to be shared with the class. The writing (name) is supposed to be yarn looping off the pink knitting needles above. Roses on top and drop flowers, dots, and shell border adorn the sides.
Clown cake - clown and roses of buttercream. Drop flowers on top and sides (some squished on the way home). Little birthday girl on the side with wild hair.
St. Patty's Day Cake - Shamrocks and carnations of buttercream. Reverse shell and crown shell on the side. The ribbon says, "Good Luck + Erin Go Braugh!"
Chocolate decadence cake covered with ganache and topped with gumpaste orchid and buttercream roses with hershey kiss centers. Delicious!
