A close up on the cupcakes that accompanied the Doll Cake.
Doll Cake using WIlton's wonder mold and doll pick. Skirt and bodice covered in fondant with mini drop flowers made from royal icing. Skirt was brushed with rose coloured pearl dust. Cupcakes were covered with mauve and violet coloured BC (Buttercream Dream recipe) and drop flowers made from royal icing.
Chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache iced with BC. Diego transfer using colour flow method.
This was actually a "Thank You" cake for my team at work. I left for maternity leave (baby should be arriving any day now)...and wanted to show my thanks for their gifts & farewell wishes. I took this opportunity to try fondant again -- still trying to get the hang of it.
It's been a while since I've decorated a cake, so I really actually enjoyed making this one! A friend requested a cake for her son's 1st birthday...and since his name is Noah -- what other theme would be better suited than "Noah's Ark"?! It was a chocolate 12 inch two layer cake filled with ganache, covered with MMF and graham crumbs. Accents were MMF and bc. I also made a smash cake for the celebrant.
My son had two birthday parties...this was the second cake I made. My very first attempt at fondant (MMF). It certainly wasn't easy -- to say the least! I had so much more planned for this cake, but after rolling out the fondant for what seemed to be about a bijillion times, I didn't have time to do much else. The Elmo is a FBCT, border is BC and the accents/polka dots are fondant. Just need some practice.
Made this for my son's first birthday. This picture was taken before I added the cookies on a stick that spelled out his name. Chocolate and vanilla cakes iced with BC.
This is the side of my Raptor Cake with the chocolate transfer player silhouettes
My husband LOVES the Toronto Raptors...so I made a Carrot Cake with a Chocolate Transfer of the team's logo, along with some silhouettes of players around the cake. This was my first attempt at chocolate transfers...enjoyed it, but need more practice!
This was my first attempt at a FBCT. I did it several days ago and stored it in the freezer for safe keeping, but of course, on the day that I actually have to place it on the cake...it cracks! Nonetheless, I had fun making it, and will certainly try it again! Spirals were inspired by the many cakes on this site!
I used the Swiss White Chocolate Cake recipe for the cupcakes and Buttercream Dream for the frosting. I actually wanted to do a musical theme, but ran out of time...a little disappointed as I ended up rushing, but the birthday girl loved it anyway.
I used the sports pan to make this chocolate soccer ball w/cookies & cream filling and BC icing for my godson's 9th birthday!
My first attempt at decorating with chocolate ganache (thanks to cheftaz). I thought it would be difficult, but this recipe worked out really well. I've also been on a mission to find a great chocolate cake recipe. Thanks to this site, I found what I was looking for at the Hershey's website.
Chocolate CCC w/BC icing and graham cracker crumbs for the bunkers. First time trying this (thanks to a friend's suggestion) - much easier than icing a cake! I also found some items at Dollarama for added decorations.
