The baby mold was so easy using a 50/50 mix of fondant and gum paste. The baby outfit and hat was made from fondant.
Stacked wine barrels for the winery wedding. Bottom is styrofoam, plus 3 cakes, covered in painted fondant. Gumpaste grapes and grape leaves.
Chocolate cake with whipped cream and raspberry fillings, fondant flowers highlighted with pink luster dust.
Purple orchids and roses, with hand-painted scrolls.
I baked this and made the gumpaste flowers at home, then filled, iced and assembled the cake at a Marriott Residence Inn 2 hours from home.
OK, so I wasn't going to post this photo because of the way the pleats look, but here goes. Unfortunately, someone decided to "help" me assemble the cake, and before I could stop them the pleats got mangled. It was pretty once ... . Accidents happen, and the bride was still happy with the cake. Lesson learned - NEVER leave your cake unattended!
The bride wanted a very simple, all buttercream cake. She provided the ribbon, which matched the bridesmaids dresses. The flowers are fresh.
Buttercream piped on lemon cupcakes for a potluck luncheon. I was afraid that the candle might melt the frosting, but all went well.
Wedding cake after a civil ceremony at the courthouse. Ivory fondant with fondant pearls dusted with super pearl dust. Purchased ribbon and fresh roses.
The bride and groom actually designed this cake. The frosting is buttercream with purple buttercream details. The flowers are real. There's a story behind the flowers. The bride ordered extra flowers for the cake, but they turned out to be the wrong color. I ran off to the local grocery store to find something (anything!) that would complement the cake. It turned out great.
This is a life-size banjo cake without strings. I used fondant everywhere except the frets (marking where the player puts her fingers), which are airbrushed spaghetti. I had a problem getting the frets to lie flat after I airbrushed them silver. If anyone has any other ideas on how I could have made edible frets, please let me know.
This is a buttercream frosting with fondant booties, blanket and dots on the sides.
