Shabby chic, "messy" wedding cake. Gumpaste dahlias.
Bride wanted a cake adorned with silver dragees and white sugar pearls. I tried a couple of different techniques to attach the dragees and pearls; but ultimately found that just laying them on one by one was the most effective. I piped on sections of piping gel and attached the dragees and pearls. I used sizes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm in both colors. I didn't want to place them in any particular order, and placed them on willy nilly. Top tier is red velvet, Middle tier is chocolate, Bottom tier is white cake. Homemade fondant and gumpaste peony. The cake is far from perfect but turned out pretty well.
Chocolate 12 inch and 9 inch tiers with fresh orange buttercream. Strawberry 6 inch tier with vanilla buttercream. Covered in homemade fondant. Ruffles made of 50/50 gumpaste/fondant. Gumpaste peony. Store bought ribbon. Pardon the crookedness. I took this photo before I straightened the cake out on the cake stand. The picture I took after I straightened it didn't turn out because of sun glare.
I made this cake for a local charity auction. It's a very simple cake, chocolate cake covered in chocolate ganache and covered in homemade chocolate fondant (which cracked on a corner, but oh well.) I made this cake in a hurry. Gumpaste bow and real ribbon along bottoms. Gumpaste roses.
Baby shower. Vanilla and chocolate checkerboard cake with cookies n' cream filling. Homemade fondant. Gumpaste owls.
Baby shower cake for baby boy. White and chocolate checkerboard cake. Covered in fondant - chocolate fondant for lower tier. Gumpaste baby sneakers.
Little girl turning 12, just wanted colorful pretty flowers. All buttercream/royal icing. No fondant.
Bride saw a photo of a cake from here that she wanted replicated with a few minor changes. Wedding colors were royal blue and silver. Gum paste flowers cascade down one side of the cake. Handmade fondant pearls. Silver dragee accents. Cake sizes 12, 9, and 6. (The cake is not crooked, I just seem to have a problem taking straight pictures. You can tell that the entire room looks like it is leaning, and that is because I cannot seem to aim my camera straight.)
Strawberry cake. Homemade Rhonda's Ultimate MMF. Gumpaste accents.
First birthday cake for Oliver (Ollie.) Topsy Turvy. Strawberry for top tier, white cake for bottom. Homemade fondant. Gumpaste accents.
At the last minute I was unable to deliver the cupcakes the day of the wedding reception and had to take everything over the day before. As a result, because the wedding was to be outside, I couldn't take a photo of the final finished product. This was just me throwing some cupcakes on the cupcake tree in my kitchen before delivering everything to the house where the reception was to be held. This is only about 1/4 of the cupcakes placed on the tree. 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 white cake cupcakes. Royal icing african violets on each cupcake.
Chocolate spider. Chocolate fondant. Legs are made out of chocolate orange candy sticks. I used the Wilton ball pan for the body and the head is just a giant cake ball that I made out of the crumbs from two 4 inch cake layers.
Gumpaste Spongebob & Gary the snail. Pineapple house is a cake with fondant and gumpaste accents. Unfortunately, my toddler broke Spongebob's leg. I was able to fix it after I took this photo.
Wedding cake for a Vietnamese bride. I learned so much about their culture in my research for this cake. White is a mourning color for funerals. So this cake is yellow, red and gold which have positive meanings in that culture. Lemon butter cake with lemon buttercream.
I am not happy with the way the fresh flowers were arranged on top. The family had this topper with the meshy netting material around the bottom and it was hard to arrange the flowers around it. So they look uneven. But they loved it, and I suppose that is all that really mattters. 12 inch, 8 inch, 6 inch
My son Nate is turning 4 and is having a camping themed birthday party. Gumpaste trees, everything else fondant.
