Surprise b'day cake for my m-i-l, Joy. Because her b'day is in Dec, I decided to do a Christmas-y cake. Yes, I shamelessly stole Sharon's cake idea from Boxes and Bows LOL! This cake was so easy to make! WASC with BC. Lid is fondant, bow is gumpaste airbrushed with lustre.
WASC with BC. Mother just wanted a simple cake to celebrate her daughter's college graduation. School colors are dark green and mustard yellow.
Customer said she didn't want a Halloween cake, just a "Fall-ish" cake for a party. She said she wanted simple and elegant, so this is what she got! She loved it, said it was delish, so I was happy too! WASC with BC, RI flowers.
WASC with BC, raspberry/BC filling, fondant accents. Monkeys and "1" are GP/fondant. Made to match party decor. 10", 8" squares and 6" round.
Oh, the issues I had with this cake. Looks like my first attempt at BC, but I promise it's not! I live in the deeeep South, and we've had endless rain. My gumpaste bow still wasn't dry after FOUR DAYS, my BC refused to crust, on and on and on. But, mother to be was pleased, and that's all that matters. She chose the design, so I'm not sure who to thank. I'm pretty sure the topper is a Sugarshack design. White cake with BC filling and icing, MMF accents and RI petunias. Rattle is styro balls covered in MMF, and bow is gumpaste.
Loved this cake. Pic makes the colors look washed out, but it was actually a beautiful blush pink. White cake with BC filling. MMF, with RI scrolls and petunias. Mother of the b'day girl provided the ballerina cake topper.
White cake with BC filling/icing. All accents are fondant/gumpaste. I reached a profound conclusion with this cake. I SUCK AT SQUARES LOL! I really need to work on my lines. Anyway, I thought it came out well, except that I completely forgot to color my fondant for the fence posts. They were supposed to be brown. Sigh...
Made for a little gir's 5th birthday. Strawberry cake with buttercream and MMF. Number and wand are gumpaste, ribbon roses, leaves, and bow loops are MMF, and the tiara is piped from RI. Thanks to all who've posted tutorials here on CC, and a special thanks to cakemommy75002. I drew a lot of inspiration from her Fancy Nancy cake.
Made for my neighbor. Twin boys...soooo cute! WASC with BC and MMF. Con's are GP, and were made using the tutorial on this site. CC is a great resource!
Made for my neice. WASC with BC and MMF. Bow on top is GP. I had to decorate this cake PRONTO, so the scrollwork isn't as neat as I'd like. Also, because I was in such a hurry, I didn't take a pic. I asked my husband to, and this is what I got LOL! Nice picnic table background, hunh? Oh well...at least she liked the cake!
Made for a little boy's 7th b'day. White/choc layers with BC. Web is royal icing and Spidey is MMF. B'day boy was pleased!
Made for a friend's husband who was turning 40. WASC with BC. All accents are MMF/gumpaste. It was tough to make the figure sitting without having cracks in the MMF, and strong enough to support the upper body. Gotta work on my figures more!
Based, of course, on Debbie Brown's mermaid cake. Top mermaid is Ariel. She was still soft when I took the pic, so she was sagging. After I took the pic I straightened her out! WASC with BC filling, and MMF. All accents are MMF.
What a blast this ship was! My first carved cake--what a learning experience! Strawberry cake filled with BC. Planks were hand cut from choc fondant. Everything is edible except the masts which are dowels used to support the cake. Very top heavy! Accents (barrels, gold/silver coins), treasure chest, rope, anchor, fish) were made from fondant/gumpaste. B'day boy was thrilled, and mom said she didn't want to cut it, so I think it was well received!
Safari themed cake for a friend's son. Party was held at a wildlife center. Colors were taken from the invitation. Cake is white, with almond buttercream filling and icing. MMF decorations, and the tiger is MMF. Had a blast with this cake!
Quick b'day cake I threw together last minute! Thanks, cakery, for the inspiration! White cake w/ BC.
The bride wanted to use roses on the cake, but not as whole flowers. She loved the rose petal garlands-idea from Martha Stewarts website. Bottom tier is red velvet, middle is white, top is carrot. All iced in cream cheese buttercream, and covered in ivory MMF. Piped with royal icing dots.
A couple of firsts here...first time making MMF (love it!), first fondant cake in 8 yrs, and first time trying brushed embroidery. The fondant is awesome--I did everything wrong and it still came out great! It was so easy to work with. Also, this technique was much easier than I thought. All thanks to CC!
Cake I made for a friend's Easter party. Special thanks to aine2 for the great figure tutorials! Also, thanks to tamivo for the Lion/Lamb inspiration. It's WASC with raspberry/BC filling, BC icing, royal icing flowers.
Another shot of the cornelli lace shower cake. Maybe the detail of the lace is more apparent.
This was for my son's 2nd b'day. Obviously, he's into trucks, tractors, and dirt! Gumpaste signs and name. Trees are iced sugarcones, rocks are jellybeans & caramels, asphalt and dirt are sugar. Great fun!
This was my first wedding cake. Bride supplied Gerbera daisies, and chose the colors. I personally wouldn't have applied so many flowers, but she loved them and wanted a lot! Devils Food cake with vanilla buttercream. Gumpaste bows. Lovely for a spring wedding!
