Another practice for my friends' wedding cake. We've decided the rope is a bit too big and that the rope needs to be the alternate color of the roses. Mom suggested the roses seem too big for the cake - what do you guys think?
Made 2 of these for a customer for a house-warming party. The only directions I had were that a sheet cake was fine but that she somehow wanted shamrocks and wanted the words you see.
Each number represents a different thing. Number of years; the year 50 years ago; number of leap years; number of months; number of presidents; number of states added to the union...and so on. Made for a co-worker's 50th birthday. My team loved it and decided on their own that to earn a cupcake you had to guess what its number stood for.
New Wilton class - Fondant and Gum Paste - 40 small gum paste daisies and 6 each of medium and large.
My first CCC! Much easier than I expected. I can see how these would be fun to play and experiment with.
Lemon pound cake (recipe from cake central) with frozen buttercream transfer of guitar. The music notes around the side are a bit hard to see but there are a lot of different notes. Actually made the guitar twice because the first time it looked like blue intestines. The second time was a bit better because I used a smaller tip, but does anybody have suggestions of how to get rid of the lines like that?
This was a 30th anniversary cake for a couple whose kids were throwing them a huge surprise anniversary party. It was even better because after I delivered the cake I found out that the couple didn't have a wedding cake when they first got married so their kids got them one now. I was told to make 3 stacked tiers in ivory with some type of swirly design everywhere except the top where they would provide flowers - they loved it. It was very easy thanks to all the suggestions I got from the forum!
My first attempt at a frozen buttercream transfer. I needed a better picture but overall it was much better than I expected. It was supposed to be a 1953 Bel Air - the highlights from the sun hitting the car were a bit off.
This is the first practice for a friend's wedding cake. We've got until July to get it right. She knows she wants the heart pan and "red" roses but that's about it. I made the roses and she placed them where she wanted. Her family liked it but I'm not sure about it still...if you've got ideas I'd love to hear them. It was an almond pound cake with cream cheese icing. We've decided that there needs to be 3 layers instead of 2 so it will be taller.
My first paid cake! The little boy loves Sponge Bob so that's what the cake was. But...I never like the cakes I do cause I see all the tiny problems...and I actually liked this cake even with its problems. YAY!!!
Birthday cake for a co-worker. I know she loved my last cake with fondant while others ate around "funny icing" so I planned on doing fondant just for her. Thought about how much she likes music and looked on here for ideas. I'll have to go find whose it was but there were piano keys around the sides. I had my husband cut the black keys and the skinny bits to separate where the white keys are while I stuck them on. It worked out perfectly that her name was Stacie so I could use the treble clef as the S
Buttercream with tip 366. Towards the end I had to get creative and give one a face cause he was looking a little wrong anyway...
Not the way I originally wanted to do it but it's so much fun to play with like this. Each piece is completely covered in fondant and the "stickers" are in the correct places so you could make any color combination possible with a real rubik's cube. For those of you who have taken one apart, the center piece is there as one big piece though it should have been bigger. Very yummy and fun to play with!
Yellow cake with buttercream and rolled buttercream. This was done as though it were a wedding cake for a vampire. This is my final cake for course 3 and I'm really pleased with how well it turned out - I think my favorite part is the stitches. The vampire teeth are regular halloween vampire teeth. The hole in the rolled buttercream on the bottom is supposed to be the gaping wound from where the top tier was ripped apart.
Made for a co-worker who was leaving. Pretty basic but I got the idea from one with blue instead of pink by Susieindy - took a little to find it again cause it's been a crazy week.
Course 3 fondant present cake. It was much easier than I expected and the fondant tasted much better with the cake and buttercream than it does by itself (go figure!)
Made for a a friend's birthday as a joke (he'd like to forget cows exist sometimes). Used a 9 in round and half of a ball...brown spots are chocolate buttercream...eyes are malted milk balls, mouth and ears are red fruit slices, hooves are twizzlers. I don't think I'd do twizzlers again, I'd try something else instead.
Made to look like a trunk for a co-worker who likes to travel. She is from PA and currently lives in VA.
Made for my step-mom's birthday. She loves quilting so I made a fondant quilt square based off of a quilt she made a few years ago.
My husband wanted a different shape for each level of THE wedding cake. I made this for him instead. The theatre theme was because he was a technical theatre major in college. The tools and ticket are made of fondant formed as though they were play-doh.
