This pair of cakes was made to match the invite/napkins for a very basic boys' party. All buttercream.
This was a BLAST to make...lots of planning ahead but I had a great time. This is a 6/8/10" with a 6" on the side. All animals/accents are fondant. See additional photos for up close of animals. I used a lot of online tutorials for the animals as I'm just now learning to do fondant. Thanks for looking!
Wanted to try fondant buttons! This is a 4/6/8 covered in buttercream...
My daughter wanted a green VW beetle cake for her 11th birthday. Used the 3D car pan, added extra rice krispie treats on top to build up like a VW. She did the rest...added lots of fun fondant accents and plenty of character!
This was fun to do, but also a lesson learned! First, I tried an upside down batter bowl on top of two 4" rounds. The weight of the top crushed the 4" rounds as soon as she got it home. So...we instead placed the mushroom top on a 6" round....much better. Covered in buttercream, spots are fondant.
This is a 6"/8"/10" covered in buttercream. All accents are fondant...so much fun to do!!
This is a 2-layer 10" round covered in buttercream. All animals are fondant...received permission from the artist to try and recreate the animals. This was a lot of fun, hours and hours of work, though! My friend's one year old loves this show, hope he loves the cake, too!
6"/8"/10" tiered covered in buttercream. All butterflies and flower are fondant, as is banner on top.
A friend of mine wanted a Mary Poppins cake---so we went with the Barbie stand up! All buttercream with exception of the doll itself!
Monkeys, bananas, diamonds, and #1 are fondant, the rest is buttercream!
To go with Mod Monkeys cake for Benjamin...buttercream with fondant monkey!
I did this cake for a friend's daughter who was having a spa party! The cake is covered in BC, the accents all rolled fondant. This was a lot of fun...my first attempt at fondant 'people.'
Did this cake for my husband's co-worker who was moving back to Canada. Printed the maple leaf off the internet and used as a template---very basic but turned out like my husband wanted---always a good thing!
All BC with candy accents (gummy octopus, etc.)---this is the third or fourth of these I've made but this one is my favorite!
I had so much help from various CC members on this cake---thank you for your inspiration and willingness to share ideas. Cake is covered in BC; all accents are Rolled Fondant. This was a lot of prep work, but worth it to hear how much the 2 year old recipient loved it!
This was my first try...customer just wanted a yellow crayon. I actually used the Cross pan to make this cake. I cut off the two small sides of the cross. I used one and made it into the point of the crayon, 'glued' it together with buttercream. Cake is covered in buttercream, black parts are fondant. Thanks for looking!
Thanks to all the great forum advice, I made this 3 Peas in a Pod cake for a woman at my husband's office who is having triplet boys (God Bless her). This is a 6"/8"/10" covered in buttercream icing, with the peas/babies done in fondant. I'm pretty new at fondant, have never done faces but I think it turned out OK. Thanks for looking!
Borrowed the idea from Wilton catalog---used a 10" round and a 1/2 ball pan. All buttercream. Next time, I would use the layered pans as described in the original instructions, but didn't have them available and the customer didn't have a preference. Turned out very cute...would work for circus/zoo theme as well. Thanks for looking!
This is my first attempt at using fondant for something other than a bow. It did break a bit, but I was able to hold it up with the sign, which I made with paper/stamps. The cake is just a 10" round with buttercream.
Seems to be the most popular cake for me with teens right now...either pink/brown or blue/brown. 6/8/10 inch, all buttercream.
This was my first attempt at Sweetpeas (3 years after I took the class). All BC. Sometimes I find that simple is best!
All BC except letters. I appreciate all the great help I got from other photos on CC, made this cake much easier.
5" round with frog, all BC.
This is a 6/8/10 (all 2-layers), obviously on the stand. All BC except the bow on top. I did have a mishap with the ribbon on the middle layer and the coverup wasn't great, but customer loved it anyway. How long will this pink and brown trend last, anyway?
Copied this off the invitation...I'm not the best at freehanding but it turned out alright! All BC.
6/8/10 for a baby shower. All buttercream except bow on top. I'm still working on my bows!
