I had so much fun making this! Everyone thought I was crazy for making my own, but it was well worth it. Everything is fondant, except flower, which is gumpaste. I painted with Americolors and lusterdust mixed in lemon extract. I don't know who to credit the design to, I found a cake with the pleated design on Google Images. So I just took that idea and designed this cake around it. Thanks for looking!
All MMF, with BC accents. I didn't have a board long enough for a full length guitar body, so I just sort of cut it of in the middle of the neck.
Based on the video game "Animal Crossings." Had a blast with this cake! It was my first Topsy Turvy cake, and it wasn't near as hard as I had expected. The figures on top are made to look like each of my sisters, who have birthdays very close to each other. All fondant, with BC accents.
First bday cake for my brother who LOVES to play with just the remote controller for the Wii. All MMF and painted food coloring. the cake I made was not dense enough to stand up to the weight of everything. Lesson learned!
All MMF, "water" is colored piping gels of different hues of blues and swirled together. Lines and scales were painted with luster dust and food coloring. Thank you to all who have posted pics of their "fish cake!"
I finally got my first wedding cake under my belt :) I was soooo stressed over this one. I thought I'd NEVER get that frosting smooth (well not perfectly smooth, but my best). The topper took an incredible amount of time. I don't remember who ( I apologize), but I based this design from someone here on CC. Hers was much more well executed than this one, though. Thanks for looking! :)
My first try at a gumpaste floral bouquet. It took waaaaaay longer than I expected. But the product at the end is so worth it.
Simple sheet cake with FBCT. I can't ever get a smooth top on a full sheet cake, so I always use the comb on them now. Lifesaving tip for me!
Our mouths were black for a week after we ate this cake. Lol, so maybe I'm overexaggerating. Just a simple carved cake on top of a 10" single layer. And I of course ran out of cake boards, hence the cookie sheet :) The webbing is piping gel, and fondant eyes.
For my 7yo cousin. He wanted Mario and Luigi, so I did this Super Mario World themed cake. I wish I knew how to make a photo collage so you could see all the sides of the cake, I made a "Level" all around the four sides. All buttercream, 2-layer 12" square with 6" round on top. Mario and Luigi are a FBCT. This one was fun! The whole time I made this cake, my family and I kept humming all the music from that game. Addicting! :)
This was my sister's bday cake this year. Cinderella is her favorie princess, but there are 5 store-bought dolls on the cake (they're kind of hidden behind the towers, hard to see in this pic) This wa smy second time usin the romantic castle set from Wilton, and it was a better experience this time than the last time.
These cupcakes were colored inside, red white and blue. Everyone at the picnic that day loved them. But they took forever to make. I'm so glad I had the grass tip though :)
This is my first attempt on a gumpaste shoe... it was easier than I thought!
Full sheet. All buttercream, fondant shoe, with gumpaste wings. Am I the only one tired of everyone ordering plain ole' sheet cakes??
I made this cake for my class I teach at church. It's called Patch the Pirate Club, and has a nautical theme. It was so much fun to make! The necklace, banner, ring, crown, sword are made of fondant. The Bible is a fondant covered rice krispy treat. Store-bought foil covered chocolate coins, and "gold" bubble gum sacks. The lid is rice krispy treat also. Graham cracker crumbs for sand. Thanks to all who posted pics of their treasure chest cakes, for me to be inspired by!
This cake was so fun to make! Besides the 2 hours of cramping hands doing the basketweave, lol. Frosted in BC, flowers are RI.
My sister changed her mind from a Dora the Explorer cake to a Michigan football cake the day before her birthday...so this is what I came up with. All buttercream.
1/4 sheet chocolate, all BC. This was a very short-notice "do whatever you want" kind of cakes. Which is kinda hard for me, I'm never sure if the person will really like the cake or not, lol.
Pain in the butt cake :D Top tier choc, bottom strawberry. All bc, except for some detailing is RI.
My own birthday cake, 2 layer 9 inch Funfetti cake with rainbow chip frosting. My FAVORITE! All MMF decorations, I was going to have a fondant loop bow on top, but even though the loops were hung to dry out a week ago, they were still too soft, so they just collapsed on me. So, I just improvised and made this bow instead. This was my first time using Luster Dust, and I am in love with it. :D It is an encouragement though, that this cake is SUCH an improvement from last year's bday cake. (in my gallery)
UGh, this cake gave me a hard time...Full sheet, half vanilla, half chocolate, frosted and decorated with buttercream. the first time one of my WHOLE sheet cakes got eaten-lol. There's almost always leftovers. :)
Half sheet, half vanilla, half chocolate, frosted and decorated with buttercream.
A quick cake I put together for my Aunt. Vanilla cake with chocolate ice cream. Literally decorated this in 20 minutes. LOL. Frosted with Rich's Whipped Topping, decorated with melted chocolate. First attempt a reverse shell.
This is a half sheet cake, half choc. half vanilla. The family I made this for doesn't like my (or any) buttercream, so I use Rich's Whipped topping-they LOVE it. Thomas is FBCT. Thanks to ksgirl, I used your idea from your photo, to use the train track border.
