I just love all the belly cakes I've seen on here. I finally had the opportunity to try one myself. I did this for my sister who threw a shower for her friend. I had so much fun doing it!!
A friend of the family wanted me to do this cake after hearing about the cake I did for my SIL's reception. I was so excited and nervous to do an actual Wedding Cake!!! Everyone was pleased with the outcome and I'd love to do another. 14", 12", 10" and 8". 2 layers of choc w/ whipped ganache and 2 layers of white w/ bc. Scrolls are painted with silver luster dust.
For my son's 9th Birthday party, he wanted to blow up his cake and eat pie. So we saved an M80 from 4th of July awaiting this day. I wasn't sure what would happen, so I just made a small cake. Nothing fancy, just a 10" cake, we dug a well in the cake and placed the m80 inside and put the "bomb" cake on top.... After picture to follow....
I did this cake for my SIL's wedding reception. It's a 10", 8", 6" chocolate fudge cake iced and filled with whipped chocolate ganache. Topped with chocolate ganache and chocolate covered strawberries.
My first BIG paid cake. 14, 10, 8, and 6" WASC cake, bc icing and silk florals. Also my first time working with pillars. I was pretty nervous about that. Their original had swan pillars, 12" base cake and lavendar bc rosettes. This is my slightly modernized interpretation and they absolutely loved it!! The florist was running late so I don't have a pic yet of the cake after the floral topper and decorated table.--Also made me nervous about someone else touching my cake, but thankfully it went well!
This cake was for a 2 year old boy. The mountain is carved from a 10" and 8" cake. WASC cake, all bc decorations. I bought the cars for him to have toys to keep.
First time making a baby. I've only done animals, so far. I'll have to practice on making the face more realistic. But I still think it's cute.
Did this for my best friend's baby shower. This was a last minute creation, because the cake I'd baked for the pillow that I wanted to do ended up sticking in all 4 sides of the pan!!! (first time in 4 years!) It was too late to rebake so I made due with the other 2 cakes(which were going to be together to make one tall tapered tier for the pillow to sit on). It's iced and decorated in BC with mmf baby and blanket. At least they loved it and her cousin scheduled me to do a 40th anniversary cake in Oct!
This is for my friend's birthday. His party was at a BBQ competition 3 hours away. They transported the "smoker" and sheet cake seperate. The dowels were already in place, so all they had to do was place the smoker on top when they got there. The cakes had to travel in their camper for 3 hours up and down windy back roads!! It looks like the only prob was a little leaning. This isn't a great pic, but that's what I get for not being there to assemble (and hide dowels! ugh!) and take the pic myself.
I did this for my mom's surprise 50th Birthday party. She loves to travel, so I did a traveling cake with chocolate transfers of her favorite places she has been. 10" white cake with bc, 8" coconut cake with coconut cream cheese icing, 6" chocolate cake with whipped choc ganache filling covered in ganache, each tier covered in mmf with choc transfer accessories.
I did this to go with the Princess Castle cake. Iced in buttercream with fondant accents. I left room for the tiara and magic wand to go on it (wouldn't have fit in the box with them already on).
Marble cake iced in buttercream with Styrafoam towers. fondant windows and path.
OK, I debated on even posting this one. The idea well just ran dry half way through. Also, I was out of town and didn't have any backup supplies. It was for my dd's 4th birthday. It's sprinkle cake covered in chocolate clay (first time--definately need lots more practice!! lol), Rice Krispie towers (was intended to appear like icecream on top of these--don't ask what went wrong!!!!) and the cupcakes are iced in bc with bc polka dots.
I did this for my son's teacher's baby shower. double layer choc 1/2 sheet cake iced in bc with fondant accents. Not sure what she's having yet so I kept the colors neutral.
I did this for a church picnic. choc cake, bc icing, fondant accents. I waited too long to smooth the icing, so it's not as smooth as I like, but they just cut it up as soon as it got there. Next time I'll just make cupcakes! haha
This was a last minute order for a friend. The boat was inspired by my son's toy boat. I had major issues with the sail! I made it from mmf (with gumtex)--didn't have time to dry thoroughly, forgot to poke hole in the boat board, kids lost my sharpener, etc... anyway, the sail is sitting up higher than it was intended, but at least it stayed put! Named the boat after his fiance. Choc cake iced in bc with mmf sail.
Half choc half white. I used a half butter hald shortening recipe and wasn't pleased with how it iced and smoothed. It was kindof a pain!
I did this for my friend that loves pepperoni pizza. It's a 14" choc cake iced in bc with mmf pepperoni and white choc "cheese".
I made this for my dd's 6th birthday! The dress is covered in mmf and a little pixie dust for sparkle, the hill is buttercream with mmf flowers and mmf animals...First time modeling characters. I need a lot more practice, but not bad for a first time, I think.
I did this for my son's 8th birthday. After watching an episode of Ace of Cakes with me, He decided he wanted fireworks of some kind, so he came up with an army tank that shoots fireworks!! What he wants, mommy makes. We did sparklers out the front, and bottle rockets out of the barrel ....Note to self...make longer barrel for bottle rockets!! lol.
I did this for my freind's surprise Birthday Party. He's a HUGE cowboys fan. It's Chocolate cake with whipped chocolate ganache filling, covered in mmf.
I did this cake for my dad. It's spice cake with cream cheese icing covered in mmf with chocolate transfer emblem and letters.
My very first bridal shower cake!! It's almond sour cream pound cake with raspberry filling iced in buttercream with a mmf bow.
My attempt at a hockey cake (for a friend's son's birthday)
This is my 8 year old son's first cake. I formed it for him and he decorated it. It was for a cake auction at his Scouts banquet.
