I made this cake in a rush for my great-grandfather's 84th birthday. If you're in a rush, don't do basketweave...otherwise you'll end up with a sloppy cake, like mine...haha. And then...the box smashed my rose. But it didn't matter - everyone loved it, and it tasted SO good (lemon cake w/ lemon filling!). It wasn't lopsided - however, it seems like it in this photo.
I work for an advertising agency called Red Chair Marketing, and this was our dessert for our holiday party. This was butter pecan cake w/ buttercream and EVERYONE just kept going on and on about how delicious it was. Tasted like pancakes, but even better. Even the employees at the restaurant loved it. First time using candy melts, which is what I used for the chair. I added shimmer dust to the chair to dress it up a little, and added cake sparkles to the holly leaves. www.redchairmarketing.com
Was practicing for Christmas, and trying out Toba's Glace icing for the first time (which is awesome for flooding the cookies, in case you haven't tried it yet. However, I prefer Antonia's icing for piping designs.) I ended up having a little helper while making these - my 7 year old brother. He had never used a pastry bag before, so these were a first for him. :) Oh yeah, he said the one on the bottom right is the BMW snowflake, hehe. :)
Yellow-coconut cake (sooo good) with buttercream. Donated this and a MMF-covered cake to my brother's school's Harvest Carnival for the cake-walk. Some lady kept making her kid play until he won so she could take this to her grandmother for her 97th birthday. People kept playing to try to win the two cakes I donated, and once they were gone, a lot of the people stopped playing!
Cinnamon swirl cake with MMF and buttercream roses. Donated this to the cake-walk for my brother's school's Harvest Carnival. The people playing the cake-walk were fighting for this and the other cake I donated!
I don't know where to put this - birthday cakes, or Halloween cakes. This is a cake for my friend. We all LOVE Halloween, and do our own haunted house every year. He turned 22 yesterday, and this was my gift to him. Choc. cake w/ white choc cream cheese filling, buttercream icing. All bats, ghosts, skull, and tombstone are made from Tootsie Rolls. Hope he likes it!
For my sister's 30th birthday. Next to this, I had a larger cupcake w/ two plastic dogs on each side(see my photo album for more photos). They were a total hit! So many people asked me to do cakes for them! Sour Cream White Cake w/ White Choc. Cream Cheese Filling and Sour Cream Choc. Cake w/ Cookies & Cream Filling Ahhhhh, sooooo good!
For my sister's 30th birthday. I made these for her party last night. It was at a really upscale wine lounge, so I figured that cupcakes would be so much more convenient than a large cake. The giant cupcake was for her, and next to this, I had a cupcake tree (see my photo album for more photos). Didn't have a large cupcake wrapper, so I did the best I could wrapping it with fondant. Needless to say, they were a total hit! So many people want me to do cakes for them now! I put two plastic dogs on each side.
Made today for my sister's 30th birthday, which was yesterday, but we had our family party tonite. She LOVES her boxer and blacklab, so I threw together this cake immortalizing her boxer in MMF. Everything is edible except the toothpick on the balloon. This was my very first time doing any type of figure modeling. I was pleased with how it turned out, and I can't wait to make some more. Sour Cream White Cake + Vanilla Buttercream + my very own White Chocolate Cream Cheese Strawberry filling. SO good!
My brother wants a Cars cake for his bday next month, and I wanted to try a FBCT. Well, I didn't want to do it right before his birthday and then mess up his entire cake, so I did this two-color practice cake. Everything turned out really well, except for the 110 degree weather here caused my icing to melt :-( Anyways, small little practice cake, fbct.
Just trying to use up the leftover roses, icing, filling, and cake batter that was from the cake I made for my grandmother.
Just a quick, small cake that my mom and I made for my grandma's birthday.
First tiered cake. A lot of work! Had a few problems with the cake collapsing, but I still think it came out pretty good. All roses and leaves are MMF. Cake is covered in MMF with buttercream scrollwork and borders. Cake is dark chocolate, with cream cheese-white chocolate icing, and cream cheese-white chocolate whipped filling.
Made this a few weeks ago in class. This is my mommy's cake. This was her first time using any kind of fondant. Doesn't it look great?! Pink champagne cake, with champagne buttercream, covered in MMF.
Made this a few weeks ago in class. Key-lime cake, with key-lime buttercream, filled with sweet lime curd. Covered in MMF.
Look how smooth she got her buttercream! Sour cream white cake + home-made Olallieberry filling + buttercream. She originally had royal icing Morning Glories to place on her cake, but with the 100+ degree weather here, they melted on the way to Michael's! Fortunately, I had extra MMF roses and leaves, and we had some royal icing apple blossoms that survived. I think she did a beautiful job!
Well, I just completed Course II last Thursday, and this is my finale cake. My basketweave design sucks because I did it ahead of class time (with no practice, might I add) because I had to leave class early and knew I wouldn't have time to finish it during class AND add the flowers. Also, I had complete disaster with my Royal Icing flowers: the first batch got destroyed when the box popped open, and spilled them everywhere, causing them to break and crack and the second batch just didn't harden up!
