I made this cake for my husband and a friend whose birthdays are only a week apart. Yellow cake frosted and decorated in buttercream. The warp nacelles are made from RKT and the wings are made from white chocolate.
8 inch white cake frosted with buttercream and decorated with teal and brown marshmallow fondant dots/circles and a large flower. This was the first fondant flower I completed. On my first try at making petals, the mmf was too soft - so for this one I added a little Gum-Tex to my mmf and that worked a lot better. This was based on a cake found in google images.
I made this cake for a little boy through Icing Smiles. It is made from 6 - 6inch layers of cherry chip cake and the top (half-ball pan) in chocolate. The legs are made from rice krispie treats. The entire cake is frosted and decorated in buttercream.
Made this cake for my nephew's birthday with my husband's help. Trees are made from chocolate piped onto skewers. The rocks, snowboard and man are made from rolled buttercream. The message on one side is supposed to look like someone threw snowballs to spell out happy birthday christopher.
I did this wedgewood inspired cake for a luncheon that the area museums network was having at our local historical society. It is banana cake with a peanut butter filling and is frosted & decorated with buttercream.
Made a white cake covered it in white buttercream. Indented the buttercream where the eyes, mouth and ripples belonged, then covered it with rolled buttercream and molded it into the indentations. I let it air dry for about a half an hour and then painted the indentations with black gel food color.
I had some batter left over from my "mac n cheese" cake so I made a "cherry pie" in one of my pie pans. I made cherries from rolled butercream and also the crust.
Made this for July/August family birthdays. I also made a "pot of Chili" and a "cherry pie" I baked the cake in the casserole dish. When cool, I torted it and filled with buttercream. I tinted buttercream a pale yellow, spread a layer on top then piped the macaroni. I had some yellow rolled buttercream that I thinned and stretched out and layed over the macaroni to look like melted cheese. Took some brown food color and painted the baked-on crusty bits.
Made this cake for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. 6 inch round white cakes colored with gel food colors. I also colored the buttercream between the layers to match. The sunshine rays, the rainbow and the cloud are all made out of rolled buttercream. Considering I didn't know what I was going to make when I got started, I like the way it came out!
I made 11x17s for the base cake and 9x13s for the top tier. Her whole decorating theme used Queen Ann's Lace and a lime-ish green color. I also made the cream puffs for the croquembouche that is behind the wedding cake. I was only able to assemble the first 4 rows (with white chocolate) before I had to do M.O.B. stuff so my S.I.L. and niece stacked the rest. I also made the square grooms-cake beside the wedding cake. That is a cheesecake (I also made a 6in round cheesecake for them to take home and enjoy)
This wedding cake was made out of cheesecake and frosted with a white chocolate/creamcheese frosting. It was topped with fresh strawberries and a strawberry glaze. Used the floating tier cake stand.
I did this for a co-worker's daughter. I used wine glasses as pillars and had pieces of plexiglass cut to be the base plates under the glasses. The florist had never used a stairway before and glued the flowers to the bottom instead of the top. :) Luckily nobody else knew any different.
I made this 12x18 cake for my nephew and his wife, in Jan. 2009, for their baby shower. Entirely done in buttercream, it is patterned after the quilt and decorations in the nursery.
I made this cheesecake for my niece's wedding in June 2001. I made royal icing roses and attached the tulle swags by piping pointed cones to the ends of the tulle and letting them harden so they could be pushed into the cheesecake.
Made three tiers of cheesecake plus satelite cheesecakes for a friend's wedding back in 1993.
I made this cake to enter in our local fair way back in Aug. of 1980! Decorated in buttercream
Made this cake like the one posted on the Wilton website. I also used Wilton fondant for the stars and letters (before I knew any better). The rest is frosted in buttercream. I even found a bobble head grad for the topper.
I wanted to make the cake actually look like a billiard/pool table but the mom didn't really want that. Frosted in buttercream. The cue and triangle made from fondant. The ball and circles on the stars are rolled buttercream.
Made this anniversary cake on a small scale. Each cake is only one layer. The hearts are 6 inch and I believe the bottom tier is a 9. This was done to look like their original wedding cake.
Made this flag for the 4th of July in 2007 for family night at Boyscout camp.
Made this for a friend for her great-niece's 1st birthday. Frosted in buttercream and the strawberries, stripes and dots are made with rolled buttercream.
This was my first carved cake made for a young man joining the Navy. All frosted in buttercream.
First time doing a cake like this and I got a late start on it too! I didn't even turn on the oven till 6pm the night before it was due and I had to be at work by 9am. Finished it a 4am so the flames on the sides are not very good. But everyone loved it. Strawberry cake with buttercream frosting. Made to look like my great-nephew's favorite toy truck. Fondant bumpers and rims brushed with silver dust. Tires made from Rice Krispie treats covered in Rolled Buttercream.
I made this cake for my first granddaughter's 1st birthday. Her mom wanted something frilly (I was going to do Winnie the Pooh till she mentioned that) and this is what I came up with. Chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Lacey points are made with violet candy melts.
I made this for my husband and myself. 6x3 and 4x2 round pans. I used Hershey's sugar-free chocolates and cocoa powder in my modified cheesecake recipe. The chocolate pieces were done with sugar-free chocolate as well.
This little ladybug was covered with the leftover buttercream "ketchup" from the mini burger cakes and the rolled buttercream "leather" from the biker jackets cakes (plus others) that my niece and I worked on all day Saturday. We had quite a day!
