Iced and decorated with BC. The jack o lantern is a cupcake covered with fondant, details piped in BC. The hat is GP. This is for my niece's Halloween party tomorrow.
Ivory BC icing with white BC overpiping and a GP bow painted with super pearl dust mixed with vodka. The pearls are sugar dragees in graduated sizes, also dusted with dry super pearl dust. I used impression mats to form the quilting and the vertical lines on the sides. The satin base was made from instructions from Earlene Moore. It was a nice touch.
Iced and decorated with BC. The baseball and bat are MMF, the football, soccer ball, and basketball are cake balls. I shaped them roughly, then stuck them in the freezer to solidify, adjusted the shape , then piped on BC while holding on a toothpick. The booties are cake, too. This was ordered by a very excited Grandma-to-be and done to match the nursery deco.
A copy of a cake photo brought to me by the bride. I don't know who to give credit to. Strips of fondant layed on over BC, with GP roses and leaves and edible pearls. It wasn't as easy as it seemed like it would be, but I loved the results.
Devils Food cake with Peanut Butter filling, chocolate BC, and chocolate drizzle. Topped off with broken up peanut butter cups, broken edge up to see, and smell the peanut butter. The bride ordered this as a surprise for her groom and for her Dad - they both love peanut butter cups. It was a big hit!
Grave stones, ghosts, and moon are MMF. Everything else is BC. Done for my in-laws annual party.
Both designs all BC. The pumpkin ribs were piped with a large round tip, then details added. The spider cakes were iced smooth then the web and spider piped on. They went over big with the kids!
Iced and decorated with BC. Done for my in-laws annual Halloween Party. My little niece was afraid of the spider and cried!
The plaque is made of GP with the lettering piped on in Royal icing. The tiers are covered in MMF, as well as the cake board. This was my second time using MMF. It tastes alot better than purchased fondant, but I'm still not convinced in the texture, workability department. Guess I need more experience with making it.
Fondant covered tiers and cake drum with various ribbons chosen by the bride. Fresh roses for a topper and additional petals scattered around table.
All piped BC with a dyed to match fondant covered drum base. This is a smaller version of an previous cake, but I like this better with all icing roses as a "topper" instead of a figurine.
Four tiers of chocolate cake with apricot filling and chocolate BC. The groom had come to see me with a picture of what his bride to be wanted. He was recommended to me by another decorator who wouldn't do chocolate. The cake board was 2 square drums glued together, covered with brown fondant and edged with "chocolate" brown ribbon. The seckel pears and leaves were sugared using egg white and sifted regular granulated sugar.
Fondant covered tiers, with GP bow and royal icing buttons. The buttons and the bow were painted with pearl dust mixed with vodka.
This was my first time trying MMF. What a wonderful discovery from this wonderful site. 2 - 8" round cakes, topped with 1/2 of the sports ball pan, then carved down to form the head shape. This was a surprise for the groom, who loved it!
White GP lilies with pearl stamens. Everything else is BC.
A very small "cutting" cake chocolate w/ more chocolate for an out of town bride and groom. There were sheet cakes in the back.
This cake was made for my deadhead SIL's 50th birthday. MMF flowers, GP bra and the rest is BC. Thanks to all the inspirational cakes on this site for the "support" bra ideas. And the tie dye was inspired by a Collette Peters cake. Good thing I took the pics and looked at them before I delivered the cake, I forgot to cross the t in birthday! They probably wouldn't have noticed it anyway!
7" and 4" tiers make up my first attempt at a topsy-turvy cake. This was done in a big hurry for my niece after her birthday celebration was delayed when her sister had to have an emergency appendectomy. It is all butter cream except the heart plaque, which is MMF.
All BC with MMF scroll. The client didn't want "that shiny gold stuff", and when she and her DIL picked it up, they were just thrilled! It's nice to contribute to the joy of such a special celebration.
Fresh flowers on BC icing with piped deco and very small silver dragees.
Iced and decorated with piped BC vines and leaves. Fresh garden peonies for a summer wedding.
Fondant covered cake with fondant grapes and GP leaves. Painted and dusted with luster and pearl dusts.
BC iced tiers with piped drapes and bows. Fresh flowers provided by the bride's florist, but arranged by me. I don't like anyone else "messing" with my cakes!
Iced in BC with piped borders and sides and cascading yellow BC roses.
Fondant covered tiers with royal dots and real black ribbon. The board is also covered with fondant and edged in ribbon to complement the cake.
This Uncle Sam hat was done for my Grandma's 91st Birthday. The cake is a 9" round over a 8" which was doweled to support the upper cake. Then the sides were carved to produced the shape. BC icing with fondant stars and streamers. The writing was with a food marker. The cake plate was a gift from my sister in law for our annual July 4th party.
