buttercream and fondant
Buttercream swirled frosting with a banner draped over it. I made the banner from clean scraps of fabric that I adhered together using Badge Magic then sewed a ribbon on.
A going away cake for some friends. These were chocolate cake with caramel buttercream frosting and chocolate fondant "leather" & accents.
Square 6" cake with white buttercream and fondant accents. The cake itself is the Wacky Cake from the recipes here on CC and turned out tasty.
Lime green fondant on blue buttercream. 14" round
Carved chocolate cake, buttercream with fondant accents. This was a pain to frost and make it look nice but since it's a smash cake it needed to be buttercream.
All buttercream with fondant/gum paste and royal icing details. Bottom tier was Red Velvet, middle was Vanilla (white) and top was Blue Velvet (so the cake slices plated up gave us red, white and blue.)
Just buttercream
Baby's first birthday smash cake; pink part is buttercream, fondant and buttercream accents with fondant penguins.
Wilton pan, all buttercream
Super purple buttercream with lavender fondant polka dots topped with a friendly little polar bear. Made for my friend's baby's 1st Birthday smash cake session. That little girl will probably be purple for days!
Little ladybug smash cake made for my photographer friend. These are typically fondant covered but we like to do buttercream for the babies so they can make a bigger mess. Fondant accents and head, buttercream is the red part and grass. I carved 6" cakes into the shapes I needed.
Fall themed wedding. Bottom & top tier were vanilla cookies and cream cake, middle tier was chocolate cookies and cream cake. All three tiers had cookies and cream filling and were covered in vanilla buttercream. My husband cut the firewood round, sanded it down and coated it with a high gloss sealer. Then he cut an acrylic plate so the cake would rest on that, not the sealed wood. (We used food grade sealer but used the acrylic plate anyway.)
Somehow I managed to delete this when trying to upload additional photos. :( Anyway, buttercream with fondant stripes, feather boa trim and a wooden letter for baby's first name. I really like how it turned out.
Simple cupcake but I liked how it turned out. Buttercream
My son said one of my horses looks like it has a mullet! :D Just some silly cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. Followed the directions in the cupcake book I have.
Made for a smash cake session for twins; boy and a girl so they had their own cake. Buttercream with candy/cookie accents. The cakes were made in 4" springform pans.
Buttercream with fondant accents. Made for my photographer friend's "Smash cake" photo shoot.
This is a celebration cake for my kids 4-H Shooting Sports end of year picnic. It also happens to be my very first fondant figures. It was a donated cake so I felt free to play with it and I learned quite a bit from those little people. The cake itself is vanilla cake, butter rum syrup, milk chocolate filling with toffee bits, white chocolate buttercream frosting.
Left a little "rustic" on purpose with overpiped scroll work. All buttercream and fresh flowers. The cake is vanilla with butterscotch caramel filling, sauteed apple filling, apple cider syrup and caramel rum frosting. It's the Caramel Apple cake and it's a favorite in our family and now our church.
Made for a friend's wife's birthday. Chocolate cake, ganache, raspberries and Milk chocolate buttercream.
6", 9" & 12" tiers, buttercream with 1 1/2" ribbons, pearls and flowers on the cake stand DH made for me. Chocolate cake, Kahlua moistening syrup, mocha mousse filling and vanilla buttercream. I think I can finally do corners!
Birthday cake for UFC loving friend. I have a hex wedding cake coming up so I did the cake as a hex. I hated how it turned out but I did learn a lot and by the 3rd time I re-iced it, it was looking better but the icing was pretty trashed. Of course, it was SUPER hot that day too.
We happened to be teaching Sunday school the week that we were finishing up our Bible Survey; we taught on Revelation. We focused on "The Wedding Supper of the Lamb" and since I have a Hexagon wedding cake in September I took the opportunity to practice those pesky corners. This is only my 2nd Hex cake and I've now decided to try Indydebi's frosting because of the issues with this one. I didn't have flowers so I made some with tissue paper and zipties. ;)
Red Velvet with Whilte Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting and whit chocolate moistening syrup. The grad caps are candy melts. I used little plastic serving bowls for the molds then painted them with frosting and piped the tassles with more candy melts. My handwriting sucks! :P Didn't turn out too bad for two days notice and no plan.
I tried to mimic the vine type effect we have on our business cards and logo at church. This was in celebration of our 2nd anniversary as a fellowship. All buttercream; bottom tier: chocolate cake, white chocolate filling & creme de cocoa syrup. Top tier: vanilla cake, vanilla moistening syrup & vanilla custard filling.
