Displayed on a homemade stand the cupcakes have a great variety of flowers on buttercream. There's around 80 cc.
This full sheet (24x18x2) is iced in buttercream. Decorations - music notes - are chocolate molds. Simple piped flourishes highlight it. Borders are reversed shells done w/tip 81.
The idea for this cake, which I entered in a contest, is taken from a book about painting on wood. A 12x8x2 sheet is iced in buttercream, airbrushed lightly in several colors, a thick (high) border is piped, then a prepared full sheet of wafer paper is added. The border holds the wafer paper up off the top of the cake. The sheet of wafer paper is a bit smaller than the size of the cake so I had to use extra large borders to hold it in place. Before adding it to the cake you cut out designs - in this case flowers, willows, and the butterfly. Outline the cutout areas to highlight them. Color the b'fly and add it on top of it all. Would make a great, simple, generic design for a non-theme cake need.
A 3 tier celebration cake for our grand country! This is the top tier; the base tier and then as it was displayed in the window of my shop. Iced in buttercream with all fondant decorations - plaques with frosting sheet pictures and glittered stars. The pom-poms are non-edible.
Didn't know what category to put this one in :( Change of message would allow this to be used for any business occasion or birthday. A single layer 10" round, iced in buttercream. Writing piped with tip 3; flourishes from tip 2. Simple, generic, easy to do :)
This 'old fashioned' design was picked out by a senior citizen bride:) The stacked tiers are iced in buttercream. Roses are air-dried b'cream.
Here is a very nice, generic, basic, easy-to-do graduation design- just what one needs for some of those many grad cakes you have to make soon. This 12x16x2 sheet is iced with buttercream. A plastic grad hat has some gumpaste ivy leaves around it. The cake is presented on a foil (warpping paper) covered board. Here's a tip when bordering your square & sheet cakes - especially if doing shells.....think "L7". Start on one long side, go down and across the short end ("L"); now go back to the beginning and pipe across the short side and down the long side ("7"). I'm told this is one thing judges look for on cakes entered in contests.
This is one of those designs that could be used for many different occasions including a lady's birthday, bridal shower, congratulations, Mother's Day; and others with a simple change of the message and color combination! The basic design comes from one of Mary Ford's books. A 10x2" sq on a 14" sq board allows room for the extended border work. Any flowers could accent it.......here I've used daisies and sweet peas. Colored glitter accents the recipients name.
This is one of those designs that could be used for many different occasions - Mother's Day; lady's birthday; Valentine's Day.......and others. A 12"x4" round cake iced in b'cream. The sides of the cake are divided in 8 sections w/a heart in each. The roses are air-dried b'cream.
This was made for a minister's birthday. The cows are drawn on wafer paper with non-toxic, felt-tipped pens (in the days long before food writers!) They are saying "Holy cow another one?" and "Have an udderly divine birthday pastor". The cake is comprised of two 10" squares placed end to end, on a board covered in mylar wrapping paper.
Just a star-fill-in shaped pan - one a the very few I have used:) Flowers are daisies, bachelor buttons, & mums. All icing is buttercream. For a lady's birthday.
A small (8x12x2) sheet cake with picture airbrushed on wafer paper placed on buttercream icing. The lady who was celebrating her b'day owned a video store and her favorite movie is "Gone w/the wind". It was the perfect theme for her:) All decorations (roses) and message are buttercream piped on the mylar covered cake board.
For a boy's birthday this consists of an 8x4" sq base cake with a 1/2 ball iced in buttercream. Boy is fondant strengthened w/Tylose as are the black parts of the ball.
A 12x18 sheet cake is carved into this shape. Some cake scraps are piled on the back to give a slight rise. Wheels are chocolate donuts. All buttercream.
A 9x13 sheet topped with 1/2 of a 9" round., then iced in buttercream.
12 and 8" rounds iced in buttercream. All decorations are fondant trimmed with b'cream.
A 9x13x4 sheet is topped with a 3-D dino which consists of one layer 9" round. Cut it in 1/2, stack those and place cut edge down on the sheet. All icing is buttercream. The neck is made up of cake scraps and marshmellows. The top of the jaw is a tongue depressor (the only non-edible on the cake),. Legs and tail piped icing. I have made at least 1/2 dozen of these, each slightly different.
12, 8, 6 round tiers are all buttercream. Fresh flowers around the base and as a topper.
this simple 12, 9, 6 round stacked buttercream cake has real sheer ribbon around each tier and fondant daisies.
16x24x2 sheet iced in buttercream. Simple zigzag border and piping. Roses are air-dried buttercream. Simple but effect for those making lots and lots of grad orders :)
In this area *everyone!* wants a full sheet for graduation........I think I did 16 of them that year. All buttercream; plastic cap; (little ones around the edges are wafer paper). This simple design can be made different by changing what you put in the squares.....use the school initials; sport or other interest things to individualize it.
I made this one about 7-10 years ago and traveled about 50 miles to deliver it. The tier sizes are 16, 12, 6 with each satellite consisting of 12 & 8"ers. All buttercream, including the flowers. Ruffled swags, string work & bows
I hope I can remember the sizes of this cake: The main castle consists of (I think) 16x4, 12x4, 12x4, 6x2" rounds; the satellite cakes are 2 each 6x4, 9x4, and 12x4" rounds. All iced in buttercream. The turrets are styro tubes topped w/gold foil. There is a water fountain in front of the castle along w/their topper. the design of this cake is based on one I saw at another shop I had visited.
The granny rockin' & knittin' is a composite of two pictures drawn on a piece of wafer paper w/non-toxic felt-tip pen; place on a buttercream iced 12x16x2 sheet cake.
An 8x4" round iced in white buttercream. A piece of real lace is wrapped around the cake and airbrushed thru it for the lacy side design. Sweet peas, apple blossoms and daisies form the border; fondant loops make up the bow. this is a great idea for a lady's birthday or Mother's Day.
Design straight out of a Wilton yearbook :) head is a 9" contour cake and ball is baked in an egg pan. All icing is fondant. Great for birthday or Super Bowl :)
