I made this 9" "Oreo" Cookie cake with brownie mix instead of cake mix. I made it with a Williams Sonoma Pan that they just brought out. I think its so cute and probably would be good with ice cream too! I put an apple next to it so you can see the size a bit better.
The bride and groom are adding the topper - it will be an "M" monogram. The cake is 12" bottom/7" top- french vanilla with raspberry filling. I also airbrushed it with pearl airbrush spray which should look pretty in the sunshine. I think it turned out beautiful. I tried a new technique for imprinting the swirls on the side of the cake and it was sooooooo fast! I just hope it all holds up in the heat. I used a high ratio shortening and lots of supports inside... so cross your fingers. I used the pre-made Wilton roses.
I made this purple and white and silver fun tiered fondant cake for a graduation cake. I sprayed it with my airbrush and pearl dust. I think it turned out cute!
I made this Graduation Cake with Giant Cupcake Top. Her colors are black and red. It's buttercream with fondant accents. I cut the stars with cookie cutters.
Topsy Turvy Birthday with frogs and dragon flies. Buttercream with fondant accents. Used candy mold for words on top and the 30.
88 keys! 88 Years old. I made the top from gum paste and propped it up with plastic music notes from the local cake supply store. The keys were fondant and I made the black ones twice as thick so they stuck up. It was a neat cake.
Just made this Gerbera Daisy Wedding Cake this past weekend. It was fun! I discovered a new tip that will pipe 3 dots at once so that made it much faster. I bought plants instead of just flowers and now I can plant them! Neat
WOW WOW Wubbzy cake for 1st birthday! The cake was chocolate and I wish you could see his face after his big piece of chocolate cake! He was COVERED from head to toe!
Cupcake Cake Bouquet -1st attempt and I learned a lot.
This is my 3rd pirate ship cake. You could eat everything but the mast poles and the characters. My nephew wanted a ninja fighting a dragon on the ship. We bought the characters at Target. There is a little red swirl in the water and that is a pirate hat floating in the middle of swimming sharks- ewwww! I used the nordic ware pirate ship pan but you have to add another layer of cake underneath because its not tall enough. I then add a 14" square under that for water. You can skip that if you don't need that much cake.
I made this for a girl that is a HUGE fan of Pokemon. It has Pokemon rings pressed in the sides of the cakes and I used edible images on cookies I made in the Wilton cookie on a stick pans. It's a 10" square cake with the Wilton Sports ball pan on top. One thing I learned is that the fondant really weighed down the ball and kind of squished it. I don't know how I would fix that in the future.
Made this for a new friend whose mom got notice she had about 2 weeks to live with a rare fast growing cancer. She has since died and I am glad I could share some love with their family.
I made this St. Louis Cardinals Shirt Cake for a party held at Busch Stadium. It was for a 50th birthday and his last name is Cox. They bought him a shirt for a gift- neat match!
I made these for my nephew's birthday party at the ballyard. I made regular cupcakes and then used half of the mini sports ball pan from wilton as a topper. They were HUGE!
I love the bright colors! This was a big ole birthday cake!
I made this cake for Bobby and he wanted a red hull. I think it turned out very cute! You could eat everything except for the pirates and pole for the mast. I used the Nordic Ware Pirate cake pan for the ship and added another layer to the bottom of the ship using a 9x13 pan. The bottom cake was 14" square. Sharks, masts, coins, cannon balls, cannons are made of fondant. Railing is chocolate licorice.
I made this cake for Kortney who just moved to Illinois from Alaska. She loves horses. If you look closely, you can see the homemade candy medallions I made with horses on them. I also made the letters & 16 on the top out of candy. She wanted roses too so there are pink and black roses on the top with white leaves to keep with the color scheme. She is really homesick for Alaska right now so I used the moose cookie cutter to put the fondant design around the top. The bottom cake is 10" and 2 kinds of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and the 6" top is french vanilla with strawberry filling. Each cake has 4 layers. I loved meeting her and her family and I think she really liked her cake!
The monkey was created using the Wilton monkey pan and is made of a single batch of chocolate chip cookie dough. The cake underneath is a 14" square cake. The birthday girl likes a cookie cake every year from the mall and mom like a "regular" birthday cake- I have a feeling I will be making cakes for this family for years to come- no more mall cookies!
Created this cake for a 50th birthday for a woman that runs marathons. I made the little shoes out of white chocolate with a candy mold. I cut the shirt out of a 12x18 sheet pan.
I made this cake for my friend Donna. Her mom orders a cake for her every year and the theme is always Cardinals baseball! I think it turned out cute and I used cocoa powder to dirty up the base and I like that effect. I traced the logo onto a separate piece of fondant and then filled it in with buttercream stars. The effect of that made it looked "stitched". All of the fondant is Satin Ice- I love the taste of that stuff- like marshmallow cream and no work to make it!
Spider Cupcakes - all buttercream
Santa Stuck in the Chimney. 8" square 4 tiers on bottom and sports ball butt with Rice Krispy legs. I sprayed a bit of black to make it look like soot. If I do this again, I would do the legs out of styrofoam so they wouldn't be so weighty.
All edible except the wooden masts and the 2 pirate toys. Tootsie Rolls for the railing. Chocolate graham cracker for the plank. I even made the barrels and canon balls out of tootie rolls and fondant.
This is my first tiered fondant cake. I think it turned out OK. I like the wires sticking out.
This cake was done for my cousin John's 40th birthday. His sister came up with the idea of all the things he has loved since he was a kid. I made the planes out of candy melts/molds. The rest is buttercream and toys.
I made this cake using the flowers I learned in Wilton Course 2. 10" cake bottom made with one box mix to keep it thin and then the sports ball on top- covered in fondant.
