Made for a babyshower. Same pan was used for another cake in my collection, different look.
Girls were bridging from brownies to junior girl scouts.
A cake for a party where the big present was a picture of the whole family, 18 people. The tree seemed like the right thing to do. This cake was made before I took classes or had yearbooks to be inspired by.
I used the santa cake pan and transformed it into a gnome for my gnome loving neighbor.
I made this cake for my father in law. He is 83. I was praised by everyone that saw it till I figured out by a comment that maybe some people didn't know what it was. That was a first for me. So I am asking you now, do YOU know what it is? I'll give you a minute to think. OK, here's the answer, it's an old fashioned radio. I had gotten some crazy answers when people guessed.
Stacked buttercream cake with fondant cut outs for laundry.
My first graduation cake I actually got paid for. I was very happy with the outcome, financially and emotionally.
This cake was done for Jedi Kyle. It was done with a piping gel transfer. I would suggest to anyone trying this technique to use a wider tip. I used a #4 last time and had success. This time I had a #1 tip and the gel didn't adhere to the crusted frosting as well.
I asked my friend what kind of cake she wanted and she joked she wanted something with a crown. So I got a crown from the local party store and carved my first pillow. I used buttercream on it. I can tried to smooth it with a non viva papertowel. BAD NEWS!! Then I had to try to fix all that. It was a learning experience and she liked it.
This was made for my Uncle, inspired by members of CC. Thank you. I want an airbrush kit, but for now I just used Wilton spray colors on white icing. My uncle tells bad (corny) jokes so we sent this one back to him.
I recommend decorating a cake with a friend who also decorates. We both learned a little something from each other. I did this cake with my first piping transfer. It was fun
I swore I wasn't going to make a cake if the Pat's didn't get to the superbowl but as decorators you know we can't pass up a cake if we really are itching to make one. I used a 13 inch oval and carved off the sides and edges to give it a more traditional shape. I hadn't done that before. I could critique what is wrong with it but I know I was rushed. My family was out in the car waiting for us to leave for a party. Two hours before the party I started mixing the cake batter. lol
As a family we all did decorated this cake. My 10 year old frosted it. My 6 year old decorated with the fruit roll ups and gold fish. He put the right amount of fish for Dad's age. Then I wrote the words around the fish. Someone smudged the words before I could take the picture but we are all still proud and happy we did it together.
My daughter is more creative than I expected. I let her make a vanilla pudding pie (I know, it's not cake) and she made it her own by putting marshmallows in the puddding and a chocolate syrup smiley face on top. I was really proud of her for being so creative with it. Not everyone would attempt the marshmallows, or expect it to be good afterward.
I purchased the Suzy Zoo Pet cake pan off ebay. The day after I got it in the mail I got a request for a baby chick from the Wonder Pets. How great is that to be able to use a pan so fast?? I altered it and came up with this. It's all BC except for the fondant helmet and the paper sign (I ran out of time to get a royal icing one made.
One of the Care Bears
I call this my Strawberry Shortcake version. I love the color combination.
The pineapple is the "welcome" symbol. I made this for neighbors that moved in across the street.
This was for my daughter's hawaiian party.
I learned 8 flowers, colorflow, basket weave, and the rope design. I enjoyed this class.
I made this cake from one of the pictures I saw in the course 1 book.
This cake should really be titled "every weekend". This is where we spent every weekend last summer in our neighbor's yard. The chairs and some other accessories are toys from my daughter. The trees are ice cream cones. The people are a sad attempt but had to be done since that's where we were always sitting. They loved it and I loved making it. The fountain was carved into a soccer ball cake on top of two 9 x 13 cakes. I didn't have a bigger pan at the time.
I realized I didn't have too many pictures of cakes for my son so I whipped this one together with his pirate toys. I took advice from here to make the sand. It's a mix of white granulated sugar and dark brown sugar. I put it on top of the tan icing so it could easily be scraped off and still have something tasty on it. The kids loved the sugar anyway.
This is a red velvet cake. It didn't come out like I had first planned, but isn't that half the fun of decorating? Warning for picky family members - red velvet cake is blood red, I think it scared a lot of people. Not so many people ate it.
I made this for my nephew. I added plastic horses to the top of it but I liked the picture without the horses more.
