Royal icing roses over buttercream. WASC cake with pineapple filling.
The bride said her colors of teal, blue and clover were "pop art colors" and since she is my cousin and not your usual bride, I felt a POP ART cake was what I should do, and she LOVED IT. I had no idea what it was going to be until it was done, I brought dried pastillage pieces, wire and globs of fondant then created it on site ~kinda fun to just wing it :)
14" round covered in MMF, head is RK covered in fondant. This was a babyshower at work.
My cousin's housewarming, Cherries are her signature so I thought a cherry on top was appropriate for her new house. buttercream and mmf decorations. (Of course it had to have a fleur de lis too!) Design based on house and gingham/cherries from the invitation.
White on white large and small scrolls. All buttercream. I'm not a big fan of foil leaves but Lustre dust isn't available around here and it needed the gold accents.
This was a really fun and challenging cake to do since the center of gravity was so high, it could have hit the floor at any time and I think that is what made it so exciting! (living on the edge cake decorator style!) Second challenge was to build the tower from CAKE instead of RK or foam...and I'm here to say, it CAN be done (with a layer of brownies between each individual mini cake and of course a sturdy 3/8" dowel throughout!) Oh and if you HATE icing the sides of cake, avoid a lighthouse design!
All that work and I should have supported him better! he was actually taller~ He is RK covered in MMF. Cake is iced in BC topped with MMF and sprinkles. Snowflakes and trees are RI. white cake torted and filled with melted chocolate topped with caramel. My "thereapy" cake for the cast of the ballet, donation, not an order. It was a big hit even if it was a lil crooked.
This was for my child and I DON't have access to EI's so I cheated and laminated a paper image for this cake, stars and letters are fondant, the rest is buttercream. Had to keep it simple since I other hostessing details to attend to :) Thanks to all CC'ers for inspiration.
Inspired by the creative artists at CC, simple wedding cake for a small impromptu wedding, tiers are 9" and 6" buttercream.
used my pampered chef bowl as makeshift wondermold, 9" bottom tier, white cake, chocolate skirt, blue buttercream icing lightly airbrushed with fondant and buttercream accents.
This was one that I just didnt know what I was going to do until I was doing it. The only requirements were that it taste good, and keep it "simple" (which is like drawing a line in the sand to me- a personal challenge! ha ha) Vanilla caramel cake with caramel filling- all butter BC and MMF accents.
The lesson learned on this one is don't use dried up paste color, it doesnt mix in well! First attempt at brush embroidery.
Simple lil "cut 'em up" sheetcake for work, nothing too special but I thiught it looked festive with the MMF embellishments. One less cake order for WM!
Chocolate cake with Chocolate BC icing, Mosaic "stained glass" was MMF
For my cousin's cajun themed engagement party (and he propsed in paris) Butter cake with whipped ganache, BC with Fondant accents and Gumpaste Magnolia. This was my first time ever using gumpaste so I still need some practice, magnolia was not quite so "in bloom" before It traveled 105 miles but It was still ok. Thanks for looking :)
40th birthday for a dear friend who collects pigs. Pig is RK and fondant. Bed is MMF over chocolate BC 11x15 double layer chocolate cake. Pirouette cookies for bed post, everything is edible except for skewers , straight pins, studs and thread for corset. Stripes could have been crisper but I ran short of time.
Baked in long loaf pans, yellow cake with whipped ganache covered in MMF. My nephew was thrilled even though it didnt arrive until an hour into the party, why is it that MMF only gives problems when you are rushed?
client's design even down to the colors but theirs was 2D, I decided the balls had to be 3D so they are rice crispies covered in MMF. I made a coordinating smash cake but forgot to photograph it!
All edible except for foamcore brim and skewers used in construction, base is 4-8 inch layers iced in chocolate BC, brim is fondant covered. rabbit is hand molded rice crispy treats covered in fondant.
This is my "recreated" Eagle scout cake that I had to repair on site because my layers shifted in transit due to bumpy roads and cheap straw doweling. (See Disaster cakes - Cheap straws & LA roads for gory details) Eagle topper was MMF though i would not recommend MMF for this since it took forever to harden. Live and learn! Ribbons were also MMF, patches were printed on photopaper, not edible.
My first sculpted cake, back when my son was in preschool and they were having a thanksgiving brown bag lunch, I of course volunteered to bring "a turkey" well after that i was booked for every birthday party that came up! One cake CAN launch a career-
Sure everyone does doll cakes but little girls love them and who doesnt love purple?
What can i say? Its 2 layers and its BC, the wheels are cookies
24 cupcakes, sugar glaze image and buttercream icing that some little fingers could not resist before i got my pictures...oh well its for the children anyway right? lol
