This cake was for my FILs 60th last summer. He loves planes and our gift to him was a biplane ride. My husband pointed out after I finished the cake that the plane was not a biplane;-) The ckae is iced in buttercream with fondant airplane. It is hard to see but it says "Homer is 60" on the side of the cake to look like skywriting.
This cake was for my girlfirends daughter who was turning 2 this past weekend and just LOVES fish. Iced with buttercream with krispy treat fish on top covered with MMF. Fish on the side, crab and treasure chest are all MMF as well. It is hard to see from the photo, but there is a large piece of coral behind the fish that is also krispy treats covered in MMF and then covered with large white rock sugar.
This was a cake that I made for a joint family birthday party last weekend. The party was cancelled so it was sent into my husbands office for all to enjoy! Chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling, buttercream icing with MMF stripes and flowers.
This cake was for my girlfriends son who turned 7 over the weekend. The pineapple is two small round cakes with a mini wonder mold on top, covered with MMF. The leaves on top are also MMF. Edible images because I was too chicken to do chocolate transfers! Maybe next time when I'm feeling more brave and have more time:-)
8 and 6 inch cakes covered in buttercream with MMF accents. This was for my husbands boss - she just loved it! Thanks to DianeLM for the inspiration!
9 inch on the bottom, 6 inch on the top. Both covered with buttercream with MMF accents. It may be hard to see but it says "Brittany" on the top of the bottom layer. This cake was such a breeze! I planned ahead and made the buttercream the day before the cake, and used colors of MMF that I had left over.
9x9 with 4x4 mini on top. Both covered with MMF. I hate that bunching on the bottom! Not the best but my girlfriend was so excited!
This teapot cake and teacups for a friend's daughter. The teapot was baked in the sports ball pan, and the teacups were the mini-wonder mold with the top cut off. Covered in MMF. The 'tea' is piping gel. I tried tinted Kayro (from a suggestion somewhere on CC) but my rim was not perfect and it oozed all over the teacups. Had to dump them and start over. The second time I sealed the rim with royal. Thanks for fellow CCers for ideas/inspiration.
I made this cake for my father's 70th birthday last weekend. It is a journey through the four states that he has lived in - starting in Wisconsin, California, Alaska and then Maryland. The postcards are edible images on fondant. Cake is covered in buttercream with fondant accents. I'll post some follow-up pictures of each side of the cake as you can't see everything at the same time.
Some quick and simple Easter cookies for my daughters class. NFSC with RBC and Royal accents.
This cake was for my children's birthday (they are both born in March). We had a joint pretend sleepover party and all the kids wore thier PJs. At the bottom of the bed is our black cat. Everything is MMF, except for the headboard which are wafer crackers. I would do that differently next time. This was my first cake working with fondant and I think it turned out pretty well.
I actually made this two years ago for my son's best friend. It is a sculpted cake (with a wonder mold in the middle). Covered with chocolate buttercream, with MMF accents.
Thanks to nefgaby for all of her help with this cake. It is a 10 and 8 covered in MMF. I had a lot of fun decorating this cake. Since it was being transported so far, and I wasn't going to be there to assemble myself, I had to make the borders very simple. Thanks.
Simple chocolate rolled SC with rolled BC and royal icing. They look a little more like crosses than shamrocks! They tasted great! Thanks to fellow CCers for the ideas on chocolate rolled cookies!
Not as cute as many of the other fishy cakes posted here. Lots of lessons learned on this cake, like CRUSH your krispies to get a smooth texture. Also, for some reason my teal coloring was glopy and ended up not mixing well with the buttercream so the end result was a spotted icing. By the time I got to the edges I was pooped and just piped on some coral (the royal was not stiff enough and ran). Anyway, not every cake is a masterpiece! Buttercream, with krispy treats covered in MMF, royal coral.
Here is a close-up of the cake. All MMF.
I made this over the weekend for my daughters birthday. She had a cake decorating party with all of her friends (each girl decorated thier own cake). I thought this cake went great with the theme. Carved cake from two 8 inch rounds, stacked, covered in MMF and dusted with shimmer dust. Enjoy!
I made this cake as a donation item for my nephews school - the theme was "Night on the Town". It went for $100! I wasn't happy with the shape of the cake, and I originally planned for it to be pink and brown. Anyway, I couldn't get the brown to look nicely so it became black.
This was for a friends daughter who had a murder mystery birthday party. All of the 'players' where literary characters who had to figure out who the murderer was and how it happened (just like Clue). The top of the book has a noose, poison jar and ring all made from MMF. The leather book cover and sides are also MMF. Book pages are buttercream. Ashleigh is the birthday girls name and she turned 13 (hence the XII, and the copywrite 1995). Thanks to fellow CCers for inspiration and ideas!
I made 40 of these for my nieces carnival birthday party. They are cupcakes with mini marshmellows on top. I slid the cupcakes into a liner that I colored red and printed 'popcorn' stickers on my computer. Thanks to fellow CCers for inspiration and ideas.
Just a quick cake with 'left-overs' for my SILs birthday. She loves everything sunflowers. The seeds are mini chocolate chips.
For human consumption only!! I made these for my FIL who just adopted a new puppy. Simple but cute!
Made for my girlfriends daughter. Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, and MMF. Top of box is cardboard covered with MMF, and fabric ribbon. Chocolates were pre-made and purchased from a store.
I make these cookies for my brother who is a Realtor. He gives them to his buyers at all of his settlements. I package them in a nice white box with a red/white/blue ribbon (ReMax colors). NFSC with rolled buttercream and RI details.
I made this cake for a friends husband who loves cakes! The cake is covered with buttercream. The train is MMF, and the smoke is mini-marshmellows on a small wire.
I made this cake for a friends little girl. I believe that this was originally a Debbie Brown creation. I used the wonder mold pan for the ball, and covered it with MMF. What a LONG process. I might try piping buttercream next time!
