This is just one of 20 individual cupcakes made for a princess party. I used the mini doll pan and sugar / waffle cones. I put a base of skintone colored icing on the head, and used different hues bc icing to make the hair. I iced the cones with a thin layer of colored psfrosting. Cut the tip off each and poked small piece of lace into the end to trail down. The girls used icing bags and sprinkles and made their own princess come to life. Picking their own hat, etc. They had a wonderful time!
Cookie Bouquet packed away. I baked over 300 cookies and along with the help of 4 others, we made around 50 - 75 cookie bouquets....I was so tired, counting them all was "whew". We did this to raise funds for a puppet ministry at my church. Only charged $6.00 a mug. Much learned! (if my gang of 4 turns into more, we'll do again.) Cookies were a butter cookie recipe my granny always used, and icing was just powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and a touch of milk, and a dab of lemon juice.
M&M cake. Made from Small round pan and small oval pan. Iced and airbrushed,faces piped on. Arms and legs made from MMF and connected to body with toothpicks. They were set amongst plain and pnut M&M's. I got this idea from another person on here (sorry, can't remember who.) Their's was much better. I made these in a matter of a few hours, so they are far from perfect. The trip to the destination, the yellow guy got bumped and so he looked as tho someone took a bite from his head. It was priceless.
Ladies Day we did seasonal tables, mine was Spring, so I made an Easter Bonnet Cake. 9" round bottom layer. Top was a baked in a glass bowl. Iced and detailed, just added small artificial flowers. The ladies didnt want to cut it.
To go along with his baseball theme, I made mini baseball hats (30) to be taken to school. They were made with a big chocolate chip cookie as the base and then a cupcake turned upside down and iced over. I piped on a C for clay and detailed in his team colors. The kids just loved them.
Made this from an 8" round pan and a caserol bowl that I have Layerd the two and trimmed the edges down from the round cake to make the bill of the hat. Iced in boy's team color and used his initials for the front of the hat. This was for his home party. Was a big hit.
Used the Wilton Tree Mold. Decorated with angel pics and various candles shaped as toys (football, hockey pucks, etc. Had bead strands, sprinkles, and the star was shaped from foil. It turned out really cute I thought.
This was my wedding cake. Sad when you have to make your own...lol Anyways, it was special to me. The beadwork on the outside is a strand of beads, laid in the icing.. I left a spot in the back so we could cut it and it wouldnt mess up the front. The cake was leaning a little. There were more kids at my wedding than grownups and well, the loved the "food" table. It wasnt perfect, but I liked it and enjoyed making it.
I made this for my friend who is a logger. He also enjoys hunting, but wasnt able to do so this past year. Notice the sign says "no hunting". So we found humor in knocking down a few of these trees ontop of the deer. "Does this count?" He loved it....but did let me know he uses a chainsaw, not hand saws. :( My cake deco stores didnt have one in stock and those big ones just dont fit on cakes too well. I did what I could.
Another angle of cake. I need a new camera...things are startin to get fuzzy....sorry
This was chocolate cake done in an 8' and 9" pans. A spur of the moment cake. I was out of BC so had to use store bought icing....yuck! (I am so spoiled) Did what I could. Separater is actually a cereal bowl. I placed a dowel rod thru the bottom cake for support. Cake had beads hanging from wire, but ladies moved table and thus moving cake. Cake got a littl roughed up and doesnt look as pretty as it was with all things in place and sxtensions hidden. :(
This was just your basic sheet cake. I trimmed the corners to round them off better. Covered in buttercream. Airbrushed and added details. This was for a friend who is CONSTANTLY texting on her cell. Her mom sd she didnt know what she would like or if she would even notice a cake at her party cause she uses her phone so much. She was actually txting someone when she walked in and saw this on the table. About peed her pants! Mission accomplished, she noticed the cake!
Wilton's Carebear pan and carebear icing colors.
This is the back of the Elvis Teddy Bear. Sorry is a little blurry...think my camera batteries were going dead. :(
Elvis theme. Bear cake pan. Marble Cake, buttercream. All color is airbrushed, except blue in eyes is Shimmer dust and there is Gold Luster dust on his jacket. Back of his jacket says "The King". And last but not least, he had to wear Blue Suede Shoes. :) My friends mom's 70th birthday and she is crazy about Elvis. Was a big hit!
Was made for a friend's b-day. Cake is yellow. Used a betty crocker....my goodness it is greasy...soaking thru the board...yuck!!! I love my duncan hines! The leather is made from modeling chocolate / fondant. First time I used it....has a different consistency than the fondant I have used in past.... Letters are gold luster dust.
Ben's bunny cake. Self explanatory I think.....lol (they put a candle in his eye?) When my family drops in, they either want money or they need a cake on the fly! Wonder which visit this was from...lol
I was asked by a friends little girl if I would make her a "birfsday cake" She wanted a "pink and puwple purse>". And what little girl has a purse without stuff falling out? She loved it!
Cross w/ pink and purple roses
The little girl is a trinket box, and the cross is a seperate statue. Just something thrown together.
3 tier heart, white marble cake on floating stand. Turned out pretty, considering the troubles that came along with it.
This was for a friends getting older party. He loves playing games,and this was perfect. I made little ppl a small Chris and afrown up one sitting by the buttons. He loved it. Cake was covered in MM fondant and buttons were formed of the same.
We had a 50's party for my little girl's 2nd birthday. The doll was made from Wilton's doll pan. Bright pink icing and signature poodle. The other is a record, made from an 8" round pan. Both were a hit and added to the marvelous day.
Made this one for my best friends little girl, she wanted a pink and purple Barbie. I used my doll pan. It was a far cry away from the alien / predator cake that was for her brother at the same party! One day, I will invest in some tubes to insert real barbies, as it is somewhat traumatizing for the kids to get a barbie and 1/2 of her is missing.
This was for a baby shower.... Self explanatory really. Just 2 layer 8" round cakes. Sprayed green, gras piped on, decorations added. I like using things on my cakes that can be keepsakes from the day. Whether it is something like a bank, this is just a small bear figure, or even the little drink stirrers that are hidden in the grass. Most ppl dont have pictures of cakes on their walls, but to have something that can be displayed and invoke a memory of your day and the cake that was there...priceless!
