Made for a friend's son's 2nd birthday. Homemade MM fondant. Due to laziness I used a pearl dust for the in windows and mirrors of the car and silver luster dust for the trim. Not my best, fondant tore badly on one side and I didn't have time to make more.
Homemade MM fondant, fondant leaves with gumpaste flowers. The flowers were ordered in white and colored with petal dust.
This one was for a friend's 2 yr old daughter. The tree is a dowel wrapped with wire for the branches, covered in rice crispy treats and painted with chocolate. The top of the tree was also rice crispy treats covered in MM fondant. Next time I try this I'll use a heavier gauge wire as the branches started to give way eventually. All decorations (except dolls) are from MM fondant.
The stem of the mushroom is marshmallow fondant covered Styrofoam, the cake is the top of the mushroom is covered with Satin Ice fondant as I didn't want to deal with the struggle of coloring my fondant red.
My daughter's 3rd birthday cake. Her only requirement was pink. Lots of flowers and butterflies, at the last minute she wanted some hearts. Everything, except the butterflies, is made of marshmallow fondant. I tried to use all natural food coloring, and I think the only thing that didn't end up using just the natural food coloring was the strawberries.
Covered in MF, all decorations in MF. Made it for my son's schools "Spring Festival".
Very simple, white MF covered cake with yellow MF flowers and green MF vines.
My son's 5th birthday cake. Honestly I don't like it, I'm not really impressed with myself this time, lol. Uses home-made MF, all hand colored.
This was for my friends birthday, also sorta last minute, didn't have time to make fondant before so it's all buttercream except for the figure. That was fondant that I had left from something thing else. I wasn't all that happy with it but it's alright anyway.
I made this one for a party at my son's preschool. I was a bit rushed so it ended up having alot less detail than I had wanted/planned. It's MF.
All 3 tiers are chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. Covered in chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache and chocolate dipped farmer's market fresh strawberries. Originally it was supposed to be square but I had issues finding square pans in the sizes I needed, so she was happy enough to go with round. She cried when she saw it, everyone loved it and it was delicious, as I got to have some being at the wedding and all.
Covered in MF, daisies made from MF.
Made for the friend of a friend's son's 1st birthday. All buttercream.
Chocolate Cake & Chocolate Buttercream, with Dark chocolate ganache poured over top. Made at the request of my soon-to-be sister in law as an example of the cake I'm making for her wedding in a few weeks.
Molded rice krispy treats covered in gumpaste. It sort of started to sink backwards, but I didn't have time to start over before my son's birthday party. But all things considered I'm not totally unhappy with it.
Covered in blue fondant. With white fondant trim. Extremely simple and very rushed.
I made this for a friend, she just wanted a cake and her only request that it was dark blue. So it's blue Satin Ice fondant, colored darker blue, with gumpaste daisies and ribbon.
Pink buttercream frosting on vanilla cupcake, pink sugar crystals, with a baby pink royal icing flower on top. I made these for my son's preschool's Easter party. My 1st royal icing flowers.
I made this cake for my son's preschool teacher's birthday. Her father owned the Cadenasso winery in our area. Both tiers are covered in fondant. The grapes are made of gumpaste. The wine bottle is made from rice krispy treat (premade) covered in fondant, the writing is piped with buttercream. The grape leaves are fake, I didn't have time to order a veiner to make them on my own.
It's a gingerbread cake with vanilla buttercream. Covered in fondant. The big bow is gumpaste, all the other decorations are fondant. I borrowed a few ideas from another cake I saw here. This one I love.
Covered in pink fondant, brown ribbons from dark chocolate fondant. The pink ribbons on top of the cake and the daisies are made of gumpaste and dusted with orchid pink pearl dust. The thin lines are piped with pink buttercream, I don't like them, next time I'll use fondant for a cleaner line. But hey, it was just for practice :)
8 in chocolate peppermint cake with ganache filling. Covered in red Satin Ice fondant, white ribbons and and roses made of gumpaste, dusted with pearl dust.
Six inch gingerbread cake, covered in fondant. The gravestone, skull, and carrots (inside family joke) are all made of fondant. The dirt is crushed gingersnap cookies.
Vanilla Peppermint cake covered with red Satin Ice fondant. Holly leaves and berries made from fondant and white ribbons made from gumpaste. The sides of the cake are slightly concave and there is platinum luster dust on the edges of the ribbons and aztec gold (only gold I had) luster dust on the berries.
This a last minute cake for a small Christmas Party of mine, I didn't get my fondant ordered in time to get the cake covered so I stuck with Buttercream. The bottom layer is peppermint vanilla and the top was peppermint chocolate with peppermint buttercream, it was a hit. I started out intending to smooth out the buttercream with the viva method but I just ended up not doing it. It was dusted with pearl dust, so there was a subtle sheen that can't really be seen in the photo.
These are from my 2nd attempt at roses. I made them from fondant on a practice cake for family.
