This was for my nephew's 9th birthday. Chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and vanilla custard filling. This was not so hard to do. I made two 9 inch cakes. I torted and filled one and carved out the stadium for the other. Then I stacked them and covered in fondant. The flags are the only things not edible.
This was for my cousin who's totally into fashion and her favorite store is H&M. She loved it. All the accents done in fondant and gum paste.
I did this for my 12 year old who absolutely loves shoes. She chose the color! I intended to make the lid, but I was having a hard time, so I decided to do an "open" box with tissue paper coming out of it. You can't see in the picture but the side has a customized shoe box label. I covered the board in the matching color. Oh, and the shoe was freehand. Only after I made it did I see the template on here and next time I will definitely use it.
Here's a better look at Dora's house. This is the first house I ever constructed, so there are some definite mistakes, but I'm pretty happy with it. I did it all from memory and looking at my daughter's Dora videos, because I did a search on the web and noone has done this in cake. It's rice krispies treats covered in fondant. The vines are hand painted. The door and window details were individually cut and attached one by one.
I made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Everything is edible except for Dora, Boots, and Swiper. Dora's house is made of rice krispies treats. Every details is made out of fondant. I sponge painted the board. I was trying to do the three stages of Dora's show, forest, waterfall, Dora's house.
Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. I used the birthday girl's pictures as the "movie" strips.Thanks to CC'er eilers for her help.
This was fun to do, chocolate cake covered in fondant.
This goes with the treasure chest cake picture. It's fondant then I aged it by painting with vanilla.
First of all, thank you to every CC'er that has posted a treasure chest cake. I looked at many pictures for inspiration. I made it my own by making a treasure map replica of his invitation. The lid is cake, but next time I will make it out of rice krispies treats, the lid was way too heavy. I made random marks on the fondant and then painted it.
White cake soaked in Godiva white chocolate liquor with dulce de leche filling, covered in white chocolate shards, tied with green ribbon.
White cake with raspberry buttercream filling. covered in fondant and fondant accents. This is my first book cake and I had trouble with the fondant on the top, it's supposed to look like a book cover but it drooped over the edges.
I made this for my husband's birthday. The colors matched the napkins. Bottom cake was chocolate with raspberry bavarian cream. Top layer chocolate/white cake with nutella filling(big hit). Covered in fondant, fondant accents and fondant ruffles. First time making ruffles, not as easy as I thought.
Coconut cake with pineapple filling. I thought this combination would be nice and light and perfect for summer. I saw a cake here with similar colors, so thank you whoever you are for the inspiration.
I didn't realize I uploaded the last picture sideways. Here's a better view. It's carrot cake withcream cheese filling. Like I said, for a guy who loves the restaurant and playing golf. It was a big hit.
Bridesmaids' color was deep purple, so I wanted to incorporate that into the design to give it some color. Bride's dress was sweetheart neckline with beading right below that. You can't see it but I put edible beads all over the dress. German chocolate cake covered in fondant.
Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and icing. Oh, and I drenched the cake in amaretto. The decorations are white chocolate colored pink and done in a mosaic around the cake. Dark chocolate A for the woman's first name.
One is a soccer player and the other a cheerleader, but the mom wanted one cake. And one of them doesn't like chocolate. So I made half chocolate, half vanilla with vanilla buttercream. All decorations are edible.
Yellow cake with an amaretto bavarian filling. Iced in buttercream, flowers are gumpaste.
Vanilla cake with a fresh chocolate whipped cream filling, iced in buttercream. I put an inscription in the center afterwards. The cornelli lace was really hard to do, I thought my arm was going to break off when I was finished!
Yellow cake with raspberry cream filling. Cake ball flavored with rum. Decorations are fondant.
This was for a 65th birthday. She absolutely loved it. I know the flip flops are not to scale but I meant it that way. I wanted it to be like a big centerpiece on top of the cake. Everything is edible except the flowers on the columns. The flip flops are cake covered in fondant. I had a little problem with that. I put them in the freezer and when they defrosted the fondant got all weird. Oh well, lesson learned. Overall, I'm really happy with the results.
I made this in my wilton class. I wish we had had more time to work on this cake and make it more intricate or detailed. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.
Did this for my nephew's 18th birthday. He's a video game freak. He loved it.
I've never actually done one of these, so I decided to try just for kicks. The little flowers are fake. What do you think?
