This was a wedding cake for a bride who always dreamed of having a chocolate wedding cake.
This should have ended up in the disaster category. When I left home it was 4 tiers and looked great. By the time I got to the reception, it had fallen over and my dowels ripped through the bottom tier. I tried to salvage the bottom and couldnt. This is what the couple ended up with. Fortuantely there was extra cake to begin with.
This was designed to match the wedding cake. The fondant stripes matched, and their colors were gold, so I added just a hint on the fondant.
This cake was designed to match the shower invitation and the baby bedding.
This was my first paid order, Boy do I wish I would have waited to start charging lol.
This cake was from an idea I got from many cakes on here and this is my second time doing this design. Roses are of course fresh flowers and the border is silver dragess. That took forever to place those all on one at at time.
This cake was for a couple who wanted a casino theme cake. I used real cards and double sided tape. Next time I'll wait until deliver to add the cards. Once I notice the grease on the cards I lifted them so they didnt get worse and I pushed them down far enough no one saw it, but I forgot to take the picture after that. Oh well. Poker chips are from a set the bride found at the dollar store.
This was for a woman who wanted a "mod" cake. Its covered in fondant with fondant stripes. It was done to match the pattern of the napkins for the shower. Bow is ribbon.
This was for my niece's sweet 16. She designed the cake, I just made it.
I was going for a cameo type effect with the oval and just a simple design.
This is a 14", 10" and 6". Cornelli lace and 7" colum spikes.
This was for a groom that is a mason. This started as a 14" square and I carved and somehow managed to make this compass and square. The points of the compass on the bottom are held on with bamboo skewers as is the cupcake at the top. It had a bavarian cream filling and between that filling, the imperfect frosting on the sides, and the drive, the frosting fell off of the sides. I had to remove the border, push the sides back up and repipe the border there. Thank goodness there was a catering kitchen.
This cake is an 16" square, 14" round, 10"square, and 8" round. It's ivory fondant, the leaves are real, and there's a tree on top. This was my first wedding cake.
This was my second time with much better results from trying the scalipped edge. This time I made the scallops on the cake. I used a round tablespoon measuring spoon and tried to only press the bottom in, then i cut the rest with a sharp knife.
Thanks to turtleshell for the inpiration. This is a buttercream underneath a fondant scallop. Lillies are silk.
This was my first attempt at the cupcake boquet. I was not too please but my mother loved it.
This is the ugliest cake, but I had issues with royal icing and didnt want to have to remake some of the flowes so I just made extras of a few. Looks nothing like the model.
These went with the car's cake I made.
This was for a little boy's birthday. I carved the cake to get the shape.
this picture is truly ugly and didnt do my cake justice. I baked it in a football pan and used stars to fill in the color. Was much cuter in person.
This wasnt my first time making a present cake but you couldnt tell it from the picture. This would have been much better if I were home with all of my supplies but I tried cutting the fondant with my spatchula, shared colors with a friend and then used nasty brown paper towels to try and make my bow stand up. They got stuck coming out and tha's what I ended up with. I'm not happy with it, but oh well.
This cake was thrown together with less than 12 hours notice. I threw on some silk flowers and made MMF and the cakes, got them all done and delivered. There are many flaws and had this been for a wedding not an anniversary, or had it been paid for, I would have worked harder. But I think for my first wedding cake and with such short notice it turned out wonderful. Those silk flowers really are the best part though.
Buttercream frosing with fondant stars.
12x18 double layer with buttercream roses. I used hersey kisses as the base for my roses, you can kind of see it, but they were a huge hit. Thanks to "3tiers" for the inspiration.
I got the inspiration for this cake from someone on CC. I'm really sorry, but it was so long ago when I did this cake (last October) I cannot remember who. But thanks anyway. I used assorted nuts, fruits and carmels for the rocks. The fish are rolled buttercream. The lady I made the cake for has a coy pond and calls the fish her children so I thought it would be fun. I used blue jello mixed with corn syrup to make the water on top. Next time I know to Pipe a dam to keep my pond from running over the edge.
