Just a simple groom's cakeof dark chocolate, with fresh strawberries and grapes done in chocolate buttercream basketweave, 6and 10 inch layers.
For a small evening wedding tonight, with pink and white as the colors. Flowers and greenery were from the couple's garden and I just placed them where they looked the best. (Beautiful gardens BTW). The tablecloth was light pink, but it didn't show up very well. (Still in love with my black fabric background. Can't even tell this is in a home can you!?!) White cake with buttercream icing, fondant blossoms.
I did this for my Master Gardener's meeting tomorrow evening. Yellow and key lime layers in the terra cotta pot with buttercream filling, topped with crushed oreo cookies for the dirt, then gumpaste seedlings added. The mound of dirt is 3 four inch round layers that are carved to shape, frosted, then covered in crushed oreo cookies. Gumpaste trowel, silk butterflies, and buttercream grass accents finish it off.
I'm presently teaching a group of 4-H teen age girls cake decorating and they will each be entering a cake in the county fair next week. This is my " you go get 'em girls" cake I'll be bringing to their last class tomorrow. Yellow cake with buttercream filling, RUMMF, accents are gumpaste. Thanks to all those who've made one of these... what a wealth of inspiration!!!
It's been a long time since I did a pillared cake. 12 and 6 inch in white with buttercream icing, decorated with quilt impression mat, luster dusted pearls, sheer ribbon and faux peonies.
There was a forum topic this past week about cake photography in which mqguffey suggested putting black fabric as a background at the reception site and then snap your pic of the cake. This is the first time I tried it and the picture came out great. 12,10,and 6 inch tiers done in ivory fondant with blush draping ( that you can't tell by the pic) with dried green hydrangea and variegated ivy.
It's actually an upside down vase! It gave me the jitters using it, but she was right.... very classy. Lemon, all of it, with buttercream filling, Rhonda's Ultimate MMF favored with lemon oil. Gosgrain ribbon, gumpaste lilies and pearls. Pearls dusted with luster dust. First time doing lilies.
For a neighbor,chocolate with Rhonda's Ultimate MMF and gumpaste bear, toy blocks and rug.
Made of MMF, chocolate satin ribbon, daisies and ranuculus. Didn't stretch creatively too much for this one, though I did the flowers too. I love her colors, lime green and chocolate.
Thank you to Cambo and Boween for inspiration. Done in MMF with fondant ribbon roses and gumpaste pearls dusted in luster dust.
This is the groom's cake I made for my new son in law. His two other loves besided my daughter are Homer and the Green Bay Packers. You can't see the TV screen on this pic, but Homer is watching the Green Bay Packers. Thank you to Jessmar and MorPia for their help in this one. My son in law loved it! Dark and decadent chocolate with oreo cream cheese filling, couch and ottman covered in milk chocolate clay. TV and stand are rice krispie covered in gumpaste. Other accents are gumpaste.
My daughter's wedding cake....I waited 25 years to make this and loved doing every minute of it. Orange cake with marmalade buttercream filling and covered in fondant. Decorated with dark chocolate icing for branches, gumpaste blossoms and doves. She had a vintage garden wedding with the colors of blue and brown.
The maid of honor ( her sister ) and the groom's sister threw a tea party bridal shower. After much inspiration from fellow CCers I made this cake and other desserts ( plus the flower arrangements ). French vanilla bean white, filled with white chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries, with Rhonda's Ultimate MMF.
I made this for my MIL on Mother's Day. Dark and decadent chocolate with SMBC icing and white chocolate mousse filling.
8 inch torted dark and decadent chocolate with milk chocolate buttercream filling. Decorated with basketweave, sota border in semi sweet chocolate and white chocolate and finished with ivory roses.
A 12 " and 9" dark and decadent chocolate cake with whipped ganache. Covered in fondant and decorated with red velvet ribbon and faux red roses and berries.
My son's college graduation cake. Dark and decadent chocolate cake with buttercream under the chocolate clay for two books and 50/50 fondant and chocolate clay for the bottom big book. It was challenging trying to get the "Julius Ceasar" book to look antique without tearing the chocolate clay completely. I wanted just a ragged look and tried stretching the chocolate clay in order for it to tear in places. Might have over done it a bit, but it definitely looks old and abused.
This was my Wedding Cake entry to the CAA.
This is one of my entries in the CAA competition. The crib, dress and everything else are made of gumpaste and fondant.
Ok, I am the first to admit that these kind of cakes just don't come natural to me. As my husband says, I have a hard time wrapping my mind around anything without flowers and fru-fru. However, thanks to CC members, especially CakesUnleashed, who all gave me inspiration, I was able to get creative enough to make this one. Yellow cake with cherry almond buttercream filling, iced in buttercream with fondant person, and bowling accents.
11 x 15 dark chocolate cake with oreo cream cheese filling, chocolate buttercream icing sprinkled with crushed oreos. Decorated with fondant/gumpaste tombstone, girm reaper, hands, head, and rock. Thank you to various CCers who I borrowed ideas from for this cake. There were a lot of wonderful cakes on this theme which helped me a lot, because I'm more of a flower person myself.
12" double layer lemon cake with buttercream filling and iced in buttercream. Sota piping to top, used a mat impression for sides, and gumpaste and RI flowers.
8" present cake, single layer, dark chocolate with fondant, fondant bow and gift tag, and luster dusted pearls.
This is the second one I did of this cake, the first was a demo for my Wilton Hobby Lobby display. This is an 8" yellow cake with raspberry filling, covered in fondant with buttercream strings. The trinket box, calla lilies, roses, daisie, necklace and ring are fondant/gumpaste mix. The apple blossoms are RI.
Two tier lemon with lemon curd filling, covered in white chocolate fondant, fondant draping and decorative trim and cording bow, and gumpaste calla lilies with everything dusted with pearl dust.
