This was a small wedding for an older couple. All buttercream with edible pearls on the border and in some of the scrolls.
Ah, good 'ole Ziggy! He's such an adorable guy! All BC. Birthday for a co-worker.
Birthday cake for a co-worker, who is a Vikings fan. I went on-line and found the pic (laying next to cake) to use as a model. Face and design was done free-hand. I was not happy with the crooked dividing line on the cake, and at the last minute I found I was out of board paper so had to use aluminum foil! (yuck!).
11 x 15 with floral spray; rosebuds on edges. All buttercream
10" round with varying shades of pink and red roses. 100% buttercream. I got some air pockets in the icing on this one, but it was one of the RARE times I made a cake for us! We ate it, air pockets and all!
8" round iced in buttercream with BC roses.
You might notice I like to use the lace design to cover a lot of surface space! Office birthday cake for November; all buttercream. Rose and 2-toned rosebuds with some daisies in the center. The center rectangle is not as sharp and straight as it should be.....
My oldest daughter's birthday cake. 10" round in all buttercream; lace on top with red roses and small rosebuds attached to the side over BC ribbon swags.
12 x 18 sheet; all buttercream with lace design, daisies and a couple of 2-toned roses near the middle. This was patterned after the "80th Birthday" cake.
Office birthday cake for february. All buttercream except for the hearts which are cut out of chocolate
The office birthday cake for December. I sprinkled a hint of granulated sugar on the path's edging for a "twinkling" look of snow. See other pic (close up) for details on the trees and gifts. All buttercream.
A close up of the December cake. Trees are ice cream cones dipped in green candy melts, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and some cinnamon candies on them for decor. Gifts are sugar cubes with buttercream icing piped on for ribbons. Edited to add: The tree trunks are large pretzel rods held in place with melted candy melts. I trimmed the pretzels afterward (very sharp knife!) as needed for height variance.
Used the Wilton double heart pan (thank you, eBay!). 100% buttercream, including roses.
A sheet cake topped with a motorcycle cake (made from the Wilton motorcycle pan), with 2 round tiers on acrylic stands. Round tiers decorated in BC basketweave with 2 small motorcycles on top, surrounded by flowers. All buttercream. This was for my husband's nephew.
12x18 sheet iced in BC with lace design on top, BC roses.
4 tier; all BC. Bride brought 2 photos from magz and we combined parts of both to create this cake. (I still get emails from her over a year later!) This was a New Years Eve wedding.
3 bouquet. Container is a small pail.
A 3-cookie and a 5-cookie bouquet. Container is a small pail.
CandyCorn, Pumpkins, and Ghosts! Oh My! We put some black paint on the picket fence container for a more "haunting" look.
Inspired by my son, who was still in the Marines at the time.
4 tier, all buttercream, florals are silks added by me after cake was assembled on site.
This was THE MOST FUN cake I've done! Bride wanted strawberry shortcake and it didn't matter that the groom hated strawberries! hahaha! Two layer cakes were torted for a total of 4 layers per tier. Top tier iced in basketweave to resemble a basket of strawberries on top. Lessons Learned: Cut strawberries in half to attached to cake, otherwise they keep rolling off. Next Time: Add some kind of pretty decor where the torting shows to make it wedding-pretty.
A co-worker saw the other sheet cake with the cascading flowers from the basketweave and wanted one for her grandmother. 11x15 with a 6" square on top, iced in basketweave with buttercream rose buds and drop flowers.
12x18 sheet cake with a 6" square cake on top. The 6" is done in basketweave with cascading flowers overflowing onto the sheet cake. Another for the contract for monthly office birthdays. All buttercream.
Contract cake for monthly office birthdays. All buttercream. I just love doing fall colors!
I use this pic to show brides that we can make a 3-tiered cake to serve 15 or to serve 300. A great shower cake! Made with the now-obsolete Wilton Mini-Tier pan set (which I found on eBay). Icing and all roses are buttercream.
