This was for our Awana Bible Club (for kids) closing night party. All buttercream. I traced the Logo on the cake and filled it with buttercream stars.
Made this as a quick graduation cake for my daughter. We are so tired of plain buttercream around our house. When the cake is for us, we prefer chocolate, but chocolate buttercream is so hard to smooth. The flowers and decorations are a fondant/gumpaste mixture.
The design for this cake is directly from a Wilton yearbook. Yes, I have no imagination but some of their cakes are just so cute!! This is a 12-inch round covered in buttercream. The smiley is a half-ball pan cake covered in fondant. The decorations are all fondant. To make the confetti, you cut strips of fondant and wrap them around a paint brush handle or wooden dowel rod and let them dry a little. They are so easy to make and festive looking.
This design is from a Wilton yearbook. Buttercream icing with fondant ladybugs and flowers. The flowers are painted with watered down icing colors.
From a Wilton yearbook design. All buttercream on cake. Cookie animanls are covered in colorflow and royal icing. Pitchfork is cookie stick painted brown and royal fork. I added the squirrel because the little boy loved them.
I think I got this idea from a Wilton book. The cake is covered in buttercream with fondant bases and a fondant hat on the baseball. Doesn't he just make you wanna smile?
I made this for my niece's pool party birthday. She is the one on the yellow seal. All the little characters had such personality. Cake covered in buttercream, fondant figures, piping gel pool, gumpaste diving board and royal icing palm trees. I think that covers all cake decorating mediums : )
This was for my son's birthday. The chess pieces are molded chocolate. The chess board is fondant and the cake is covered in chocolate buttercream.

This is covered in buttercream. Trees are buttercream covered sugar cones. Snowmen are fondant with gumpaste books. Bottom border is fondant balls.
Thanks to mommy2owen for the "kitten in a pumpkin" idea and mommypaul3 for directions on how to make the lines in the pumpkin look real. I made this one just for fun. Two bundt pans, kitty and lid are mini-ball pan cakes and marshmallows. His whiskers are spaghetti. Covered in buttercream. I smoothed it with a paper towel, then I used a round gumpaste ball tool to make the lines, then used the flatter curved tool to make the lines deeper.
A 10-inch round covered in buttercream. Fly is royal. Spider is two mini-ball pans and his head is a marshmallow. His legs are lollypop sticks covered in buttercream. I bent the lollypop stick without breaking it, covered it with icing and stuck one end in the cake, the other in the spider. I added the shoes to cover the hole. This was for a little boys birthday but with a change of background color could be a good Halloween cake also.
I copied this exactly from a Wilton yearbook using their tropical fish pan. I have no imagination. Oh well, it was a very pretty cake for my daughter's birthday! Buttercream with fondant fins, seaweed and marbled fondant shells.

All buttercream. My first attempt at handmade gumpaste flowers and gumpaste bow. I had trouble with my white swirly decorations (the new Crisco) and they absorbed into the cream color of the cake. This idea is from a Wilton book.
This was for my son's 2nd birthday. He loves semi-trucks and always has a pacifier in his mouth. The inset shows the smiley face on the reverse side with a "paccy" in it's mouth. My son really liked that. Made from the long loaf pan with buttercream and chocolate buttercream icing.
This cake was for a "Nana" Shower for a lady who just became a grandma to 3 adopted children. They wanted to help the family with clothes & toys since their family had grown so quickly. Rocking chair is a Wilton pattern, made with gumpaste & lollipop sticks. The rest of the idea was all my own, for a change : ). My daughter made all of the toys.
