The only wedding cake I've done, for my cousin. WASC cake with cream cheese buttercream. ..the orchids are gumpaste and I bought them because I don't have that kind of talent.

Design credit goes to CC'r jayme1980. Made this for a friend of a friend's bridal shower. WASC with cream cheese buttercream. Duff style fondant roses and satin ribbon. The white board was for transport and I was too chicken to take it off of it for the pic.
A simple birthday cake. I felt it was a little bare, but I ran out of time. I did it for my aunt's birthday, three eight inch layers of chocolate fudge cake, with cream cheese buttercream icing. Fondant pearls and Duff style roses. Not perfectly smooth, but it was just close family.
I've been doing practice cakes to try to improve my basics. . achieving even cakes, no bulges, straight sides and getting frosting on smoothly. Plus my borders need lots o' work, so I'm trying to practice. They are chocolate amaretto cake with amaretto flavored IMBC. Sparkling sugar on top. Any comments on technique are welcome. I'm giving these away, the small to the small crew working on our house, the larger to the V.A. my dad/stepmom work at. When I get a chance I'm going to take the Wilton courses.
WASC cake, IMBC filling, buttercream icing, fondant details. This cake was ambitious for me, but I did it because it was what my friend wanted. Design credit goes fully to fellow CC'r Boween. It appears to have a slight lean that was never noticed by me or anyone else other than in the pic. I did use wooden dowels and a covered cardboard between tiers. I learned a LOT making this cake, thanks so much Boween.
I did this for my brother's wedding last fall. Chocolate fudge cake, filled with chocolate IMBC, iced with chocolate buttercream which was then covered with chocolate ganache and the borders are chocolate IMBC. The truck is my brothers and he wanted it on the cake. And yes, some guest stuck a finger into the top border . Grrrrrr.
My son loves Curious George. I ran out of time to get a topper and I have no sculpting skills, so I improvised. I made all the flowers/leaves and balloons the night before (and boy were the balloons a challenge with royal icing, and trying to get the right colors). I filled the layers with french buttercream and outlined the cake with it, as well as filled the cupcakes with it. I'm very new to doing cakes, and was under a tight deadline. .but I thought it turned out cute.
Copied this cake from the cover of Gourmet Magazine (except added a tier for so many guests) for my daughter's first birthday. Everyone loved it and it wasn't hard at all to do. It was white cake and cupcakes, and white and colored buttercream.
My four year old daughter wanted this cake for her birthday, nothing else would do. Since I am very new to cakes, it was quite a learning experience for me.
