2nd view. Again, it was a very humid day and the fondant crib would not harden!!!! I need advice.
I made this cake for my first baby's baby shower and I was very disappointed. It was a very humid day and the fondant pieces would not dry. For that reason, the sides of the crib kept falling inward. Any advice on how to deal with rainy humid days?
This was a bit of a disaster but I'll post it anyways. The design is from the wilton website. The margarita's are candles. The cake and decorations are all buttercream with the exception of the sombrero which is fondant.
Simple vanilla cake with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream covered in fondant. This is straight out of one of the Wilton books.
These were individual cakes made with pound cake, a thin raspberry jam layer, a thin buttercream layer and a final layer of tinted "faux fondant" poured over. The crosses were made out of fondant. I am still having a hard time figuring out how to get the mini cakes fully covered with the faux fondant. As you can see from the picture you can see some pound cake on some of them which is why serving them on cupcake holders helps to cover that up!!! Any words of wisdom are appreciated.
carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The visible dimples in the cake are because of the very soft frosting. Does anyone know what frosting would be best for a carrot cake that would provide a firmer smoother surface? Thanks for your help!
First mini cakes. They look pretty sloppy but I tried really hard! I couldn't get the bottoms of the fondant to look neat!
My first cake using icing tips. My first roses and carved cake!
Four 3 layer 4x4 cakes covered in fondant. Fondant teddy bear and duck. This was my first tiered cake and first time using dowel rods. It was much easier than I had expected so I was proud! I definitely need to practice on making squares actually look like squares 'cause they turned out to be square-like sorta bulgy!
I copied this cake from another CC member unfortunately I forget who it is but I thank you. The 36 on the back of the shirt is because he is a big Pittsburgh Steelers. It was super fun to make. The "newspaper" says "Another year wiped away".
This is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting covered in fondant. Unfortunately, the cake was cold when I covered it in fondant and therefore the fondant became very shiny and actually started to fall off the cake. This never made it to the birthday party although I was able to get a picture beofre all the fondant melted off. I am assuming that this happened b/c the cake had been in the fridge b/c this has never happened to me before!! I was so sad!
Carrot cake w/ cream cheese icing covered in fondant. It has gummy worm swags, gum drops and the "candies" around the bottom are melted starburst shaped into candies. Just a happy fun cake to make!
This is an up close picture of the pea pod. I tried to hand paint the faces however the food coloring kept running so instead I just drew eyes with edible markers. I wanted them to have rosey cheeks and a little hair but it didn't look good drawn on and I couldn't figure out how to keep the food coloring from running.
This is my first attempt at Lisa Mae's georgous pea pods. I had a really hard time covering the petit fours with faux fondant. I used the recipe off this site. I could not get the sides of the petit fours to be covered. Any advice on how to get the faux fondant to pour down the sides evenly? I've only made a few cakes in my entire life so I have a lot to learn and I welcome any and all words of wisdom!!!! Thanks so much!
The cake is really dreadful however I think the little piggies came out fairly well. These are my first fondant animals. Long way to go.....
