This photo was inspired by margery, who has amazing cakes. The hat on the top is strawberry and each layer is a layer of white and a layer of chocolate with chocolate chip filling. Everything is fondant.
This is for my daughter's 5th birthday. She wants a ballet cake. I can tell you one thing, those slippers are tougher to make that I thought. Thanks for everyone for inspiring me.
This is a cake I made for my friend who was getting married during a deployment. The wife wanted a fondant purple cake and left the rest up to me, so this is what I came up with. It is a white chocolate cake with a raspberry cream filling. The middle layer is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Yum, yum. This was also my second try at the drapes. The roses are real and so is the baby breath. Last minute additions.
This was fun to make. It was the second princess cake my little girl got this year. The Pillow was the first one I have ever made and was a fresh stawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese filling. The bottom was cookies & cream cake with cookies and cream filling. It was a HUGE hit with the parents, but most importantly my daughter loved it! It is covered in MMF.
Just another Doll cake. However, this is my first time working with a Wonder mold. It was fun. My daughter wanted a princess cake and so it is a strawberry cake, frosted in buttercream and covered with MMF. Cake is Chocolate Fudge with chocolate buttercream, circles of MMF. So all you experts out there. What do you think? My husband is TDY and will miss my little girl's birthday today, so I am making another princess cake for next week and the "real" party. Any suggestions? Comments?
I was doing a "mock" wedding reception for a youth activity, and I needed a wedding cake, so I came up with this idea. I used a cake by cakesbyjess as my guide and then tweaked it, because I wasn't nearly as good as she is. This pix is minus a cake topper. It is strawberry cake with chocolate filling on the bottom and Lemon with vanilla filling on the top. Covered in MMF. Second wedding cake - this one was much funner, because there was no expectations - and first time making drapes! I need practice
This cake was made for a friend of mine on her Birthday. Her husband is on his second year long rotation to Iraq. I figured since he couldn't be there for her birthday, I would "make" him be there. He is holding roses, her favorite flower. We even added his rank, captain, to the helmet. My friend, and her daughters, cried when they saw the cake, because it was as if he was there, is some way, to celebrate with them.
I made this for a party the other night. German Chocolate cake with mint buttercream and MMF. I used an 9" round and 8" square pan and then carved them. This was SO EASY! And, it renewed my faith in MMF after my wedding cake disaster. It was a hit at the party - and again... EASY!!!
First wedding cake ever and I want to say NEVER AGAIN!!! I say that, but will propably do it again, just not soon. It was White and Red velvet with cream cheese filling and mint buttercream covered in 2-layers Satin Ice and 2 Layers MMF. That is a whole story in and of itself. The cake tasted great, but not happy with anything else. Oh well, Live and learn. BTW 150 Roses on the cake! OUCH in the pocketbook! Thanks to all of you who helped me get this cake DONE!! You are all life (and cake) savers!
A friend asked me to do a three tiered square fontant wedding cake. I said yes, when I should have just ran away screaming. She is coming over tonight to do a "taste test" and so I made two mini cakes for her to try. One is two layers red velvet with Cream Cheese covered in Satin Ice. The second is one layer red velvet one layer white, with cream cheese and Satin Ice. She also wanted writing on the cake and a ribbon. The only ribbon I had was black and I freehanded one and used a stencil on the other.
I made this cake for a friend of mine. I had SO MANY issues with this cake, but the roses were fun! The girl was 8 years old and designed the cake herself. The cake is white cake with mint chocolate chips, the filling is chocolate with crushed up mint candies and the buttercream frosting has a peppermint flavor. I wish I could eat this one. I just can't get a smooth buttercream to save my life! AGH!
I used about four or five other cake ideas to build this one. I covered everything in MMF, but I am using a 220V microwave and for some reason it doesn't mix up right, so it cracks. I tried to cover up all my trouble spots, but could only do so much. My favorite parts are the mummy (so fun to make) and the hand! My husband made all the pumpkins and the spider. I had fun making the cat, frog and of course the mummy and hand. It was a huge hit! BTW, the cake was Cookies and Cream w/real OREOS!
This was the first cake I had EVER made. It was for my daughter's first birthday. It turned out cute, but the frosting was a bad choice. By the time she got done tearing through the cake she looked like Oscar the Grouch - just covered in this nasty green colored mess.
Sorry, someone asked to see the side and I don't know how to add multiple views all in one photo. So, here you go.
Just another Wilton Class cake for a little princess. Very easy to make and turns out cute. The little pearls can hide imperfections.
Simple cake from a Wilton pan but add a little pizzaze to it and here you go!
A friend's son was having a "Fantastic 4" birthday party. I never even knew what that was and soon learned it was a comic and a movie. So I did some research and found a few pictures. Then I found that the birthday boy wanted the cake to be "The Thing" and so this is what I came up with.
A friend asked me to make an "Incredibles" cake for her son's birthday so I came up with this.
I made this for a friend, one of the first cakes I had ever made. I ended up with two sizes of round cakes and had to decide what to do, so this worked out well!
I was inspired by a few cakes I found here. It took me FOREVER to make this cake, and my first time working with MMF, it was really fun. Everyone loved the cake, but I told them it would be worth at least $100 for me to make it for anyone else, just because it was a pain - but very fun to see what I could do.
