I made the wedding cake for my niece's wedding. I think I did a good job for not caking for such a long time.
It's been a long time since I baked and I needed to feel some creativity again, so I made a purple velvet and did a dry brush technique with my buttercream for the first time. Made a sugar flower for my first time also
I haven't been caking for about 6 years because of my job. I recently switched jobs and now have a better schedule. A friend asked me to make her daughter's wedding cake and cheesecakes. Here is my result. WASC strawberry filled with buttercream. This was my first time doing all buttercream (no MMF). First for bottom tier rose icing and first time adding flowers to a cake myself. I love this cake. The cheesecakes were normal flavor and I added a layer of homemade whipped cream to the top which I colored. The heart silhouettes were all gumpaste and hand painted with sugar lace accents.
After seeing the other pink and black cake, a girl wanted me to make her a cake for her 12th birthday. So I did a zebra that she wanted and then a couple of different things including a marbled looking fodant. It's kinda hard to see, but there are pink gems hanging from the wires. Again, nothing fancy...
My niece wanted an underwater / dolphin cake for her birthday so I make this little cake for her. Blue fondant, airbrushed fade... royal icing coral, fondant dolphin cutouts. The bubbles are those Wilton candy ball things... like dragees but white color. :) After it was together I had an idea to stick gummy fish, octopus, and sharks on it, put graham cracker crumbs for sand, and candy rocks on it.
For my FIL birthday... again, he loves muppets and turned 60 this year. I ran out of time for the balcony so I editted it out of the picture. I didn't like how it came out. :( But I liked the muppets. RKT with fondant.
Made for a boy's first birthday. Thought a tugboat would be cute to make. Also in some of the pictures is a 6" I was asked to make just for the birthday boy, I just put stars and 1's on it. Really simple, just thought it was cute. White cake, buttercream icing, MMF. They asked for plain everything lol, so plain it was! :)
This was made for a wedding shower and they gave me free reign to do whatever I wanted, so this is what I came up with. It was a complete surprise for the people that asked for it. I know they aren't exact cherry blossoms, but I did them all by hand and they are my first flowers ever. I thought I did pretty good. WASC, bavarian cream filling, cream cheese icing, MMF, piped chocolate icing, MMF flowers with a cherry flavored RI yellow button on the inside.
I made this cake for a birthday surprise for our pastors wife. It was banana cake and WASC with mousse fillings and cream cheese icing, covered in MMF. First time doing the quilting. Had fun using it as a practice and learned from it.
Was asked to make a cake for a Mets fan. Hand painted and piped the logo on a round piece of pastillage I made. Glued it on the cake using buttercream. Cake had a strawberry filling everyone loved, but cause me a bulging issue.
Made a Barbie cake for my niece's birthday. Hand carved rather than a pan for the dress.
I made my first WASC last night. Filled it with bavarian cream and almond buttercream icing. I added strawberry slices with sugar sprinkled on them just for some color. Really this was a test cake for me. I wanted to test how a WASC tastes and I'm trying to work on my smoothing skills for buttercream. Nothing really to look at... just a practice :)
I was really happy with this one! This is simply a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache, MMF, cherry flavored royal icing piping, and cherry flavored pastillage stars. Nothing really exciting about it other than I finally made something I'm really proud of. :) Thank you so much and credit to Rylan for helping me with questions about ganache! It worked just like I hoped it would!
3 years ago I made a 3D jack cake for my wife... it was my 3rd cake I think. Now, after 3 years of practicing my hobby, I tried it again at request. This time I used MMF fondant, royal icing, pastillage, rice krispie treats, cake, buttercream, as well as new techniques such as making everything myself and airbrushing. I had requests last time for help so I added instructions on a website I run { http://www.vintagelimitedstreetrods.com/cake.html }(I'll be adding text soon, but for now there are pictures.
This was for a friend's boss who was celebrating 35 years working with Farmers Insurance. I hadn't made a cake in a while and wasn't too happy with how it turned out. 1st time try on pastillage thought, hand painted the entire Farmers logo.
Made this for my daughter for a youth dessert auction. Neopolitan cake (white layer, choco layer with strawberry frosting per each tier). Everything is marshmellow fondant except the butterflies which were my second try at pastillage. My daughter did all the design planning :)
Made this for a birthday of a muppet lover. All choco cake, choco buttercream, marshmellow fondant and every detal (flies, lily pads, cat tails, Kermit) are all MMF as well.
