Back of the Ninja Turtle Cake. Manhole cover is made of fondant.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake for child's birthday party. Cake is chocolate with vanilla bk and dark chocolate Satin Ice fondant (which tastes just like tootsie rolls). I intended to put a fondant rim on the cake before covering the entire thing and didn't realize that I'd forgotten until after I had it covered. I'm still happy with the outcome though. I'll post the back of the cake on the next post so you can see the "manhole cover" that is sitting on Don's head.
10" round cake is devil's food with vanilla buttercream and vanilla fondant. The "10" on the dog tag is the birthday girl's age. Mini NilIa Wafers are the "kibble". got insipiration for this cake from Michelle104 here at CC. Thanks Michelle!
First, thanks to sugarshack who was the inspiration for this cake. Mine does not do hers justice but I am happy with it all the same. Cake is carrot with orange cream cheese frosting. All decorations are vanilla or chocolate fondant.
Two layer white cake with vanilla bc frosting and vanilla fondant. All decorations are either fondant or 50/50 fondant gumpaste. I got the ballet slipper template from this site. Thanks so much CakeBaker!
This is an adaptation of Wilton's Amazing Amazon cake. Cake is a peaches and cream cake with vanilla bc filling and icing. Animals and leaves are fondant. Grass is bc. The animals were a bit of a pain to make but it was my first time making any type of figures and I'm happy with how they turned out. I'll post a pic of all the animals. The surface of each tier looks wavy in the photos but did not in person. I don't know why that happens.
Cake is all chocolate cake with BC filling and Satin Ice fondant covering. Baby shoes are gumpaste. Cake made to match shower invitations. Thanks to the kind person who posted the template for the baby shoes. It worked out great!
Chocolate cake w/cherry filling, vanilla buttercream frosting. Poinsettias are RI and dusted with gold pearl (hard to tell in photo). Gold pearls are fondant.
Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, fondant stripes, accents and monogram.
Inspired by photo here on CC. Devil's food cake with vanilla BC. Logo and name in fondant. Double layer 12" x 18" (4.5" high). Used Wilton's football pan. Cake was ordered for a middle school end of season party.
Devil's food cake with vanilla BC. Covered in Satin Ice fondant. Blue fondant was dry dusted with luster and silver was painted. Cake was 8" square double layer. Made for retail store's annual holiday meeting in the store's colors.
My first decorated cookies! I used a Southern Living sugar cookie recipe and Satin Ice fondant. Also used RI for details. The web cookie is huge (6 inches). That's a dinner plate it's sitting on. Any tips for better piping. I've always stayed away from it but I really want to learn how to do it well. I figured out that it helps to only use a small amount of icing in the bag and cut the bag shorter. It gives you more control. Any other tips?
12" and 10" tiers with sports ball and mini ball pan spider. All iced in buttercream.
I saw a lovely, perfect picture of a cake that Sugarshack made and just had to try my hand at it. My version is not even a tiny bit close to hers. The birthday girl loved it but it is probably close to my worst work. I'm not happy with how it turned out. I had to completely redo the top tier because when I woke up this morning it was leaining so bad there was no way I could show up with it. It was hideous. I had to make due and use the bulging bottom tier. How embarrassing! Oh well. I"ll try it again!
4 layer carrot cake with orange cream cheese filling/frosting (has orange zest, hence the bits you see in the icing). Monogram is gumpaste with gold luster dust. Gold pearls are fondant. Cake was over 5 inches tall. Not happy with smoothness of frosting but it rained all day today and the frosting refused to crust. Even used crusting cream cheese recipe. Ended up using a hot knife.
Grooms cake was 14" square red velvet with vanilla buttercream. New Orleans Saints logo made of fondant with gold luster dust trim. Brides cake was white with lemon filling. 14, 12, and 10. Covered in lilac fonant with fondant accents. Magnolias were gumpaste. I made a few mistakes with this cake like the second tier wasn't aligned properly and there are some finger marks that are visible because there were no borders along the base of each cake (that's how it was in the picture the MOB gave me).
Cake was ordered for an instructor at a scrapbook store. Chocolae cake with vanilla buttercream. Fondant accents.

This cake was inspired by a photo posted by Sampy. Thank you so much! This cake was chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The board it is on is 6 feet long and the snake is 5 inches wide. Totally covered in BC with GP tongue, crushed chocolate graham cracker dirt and gummy worms and spiders. Forgot to add that the eyes were plastic. Which I didn't care for but the mom who ordered the cake really wanted me to use them. The cake was for three little boys with birthdays two weeks apart. Fear Factor party.
