This was my favorite wedding cake to do, so far. Maybe it's because I had the whole day to do it, and no one bothering me! All buttercream with gumpaste flowers.
Another loopy bow cake. I still like these, even after having done so many! Fondant and gumpaste bow, fondant dots.
I have never had THIS much fun doing a cake! All buttercream, except cheese and lettuce, which are fondant. Thanks to all you clever CC-er's out there for the inspiration!!
Iced in buttercream with fondant accents. Nemo is painted with food coloring on a fondant/gumpaste plaque. Seashells are white chocolate, painted with luster dust. Thanks for looking!
Gumpaste bow, painted with luster dust. Buttercream icing.
Iced in buttercream with fondant ladybugs and gumpaste flowers.
I really haven't used fondant EVER at home, besides the cake I did for my Colette class, so I consider this my first fondant attempt. Also my first pillow cake. I would have carved the bottom a bit more, but the cake recipe I was experimenting with was a little too dense for carving. I made the crown out of gumpaste and royal icing (more sturdy). This was a HUGE learning experience cake, so I guess I would consider it a semi-success!
I made this cake in the class I took with Colette Peters in Chicago... what a talented woman she is!! The Oriental Peonies are gumpaste.
I made this for a 9-year old boy who is a Colts fan. He even asked for this prior to their thrilling victory at the 2007 Superbowl...GO COLTS!!
Buttercream frosting. Baby carriage and stars are a combination of gumpaste and fondant pieces.
Frosted in buttercream with buttercream piping and fondant strawberries.
This was done for a 1st birthday. Cake is 5-6" rounds, decorated in buttercream. The hearts were at his mom's request, because his birthday falls on Valentine's day!
This was my 2nd attempt at a shaped cake. I really like doing these!! I got the idea from someone on here...thank-you, whoever you are! I made this from a 9" round and a half ball. Iced in buttercream. 3D accents are in gumpaste.
This was for a 50th birthday. The man was a big Notre Dame fan, and I had help from CC in coming up with the caption, "Still fightin' at 50". Mascot is fondant cut to shape and painted with food coloring. And so began the painted fondant obsession...
This was a carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting. Fondant golf ball, gumpaste flag.
All buttercream icing. Marzipan pears with clove stems. Real flowers, which florist provided, and I arranged on the cake. The wedding theme was "The Perfect Pair", therefore, THE PEARS! I thought that was so cute!
All iced and piped in buttercream. I also arranged the flowers. Tucked inside is alternating layers of White and Dark Chocolate cake.
I made the frog out of fondant, and then followed the feeling to create a whimsical, fairytale baby shower cake. It's a little busier than I wanted it to be (I got carried away!!!), but I am happy with it overall. The well is carved from cake and iced in buttercream, with edible glitter to give the water some shimmer.
This was my first carved cake, and my first time using MMF. I made this for my son's 2nd birthday. I wanted to get the cat and dog in there because he's a little nuts for animals!! Hand-carved white and decadent chocolate cakes with buttercream icing. MMF animals, stars and smokestack. Popcorn "smoke", oreo wheels. SO FUN!!!
It seems like everyone chooses Elmo for their first birthday! This is all buttercream. I did Elmo using my KopyKake.... Thanks for peeking!
This is my favorite baby shower cake to do... I just think it's understated and elegant, which is MY KIND OF STYLE!!
This design is inspired by a cake done by Anna von Marburg. This is my FIRST gumpaste endeavor...very fun! The petals are all handcrafted from tylose gumpaste, and the center is done in chocolate fudge icing.
Gumpaste number, iced in buttercream. Matches the sailboat cake
Thanks to Sharon for your help on the boats! I like your design much better, but I was happy with how this turned out. The boats are fondant, flags/fish in gumpaste. Iced in buttercream. This was SO fun, although time-consuming because it was also a lot of trial and error.
SO fun to do...I loved the one done by Tuggy, so I had to try it! Mine will be used for a baby shower.
