This is the cake I did yesterday. The bride wanted to incorporate the lace from her gown into the design as well as a branch of cherry blossoms. Flavors were amaretto mud cake with amaretto-espresso and mocha IMBC filling, covered in pink fondant with fondant lace appliques (brushed with antique silk luster dust). Chocolate fondant branch with gumpaste cherry blossoms. Cake was (2) 10 in cakes stacked, and an 8 in on top. I'll upload close ups of the lace and flowers also. TFL!
Here's one from yesterday. Tiffany & Co. birthday cake for a 40th birthday. Cake was almond scented butter cake with amaretto-espresso and coconut IMBC fillings. Covered in fondant with gumpaste bow, fondant ribbons and tag, and gumpaste "Return to Tiffany's bracelet. I wanted to do something fun to show the tiffany's name because it wasn't displayed on the box due to the ribbons. TFL!
This was one I made last week. The birthday girl's nickname is Lady, hence the name of the shoe. The box was all cake, covered in fondant with fondant accents, and hand painted labels. The shoe was made from gumpaste from a few different designs/templates found on CC. This was my first shoe box and very first shoe... The heal needed a little work, but I was pleased with the final results. TFL!
Here's a cake I did today - Jack Daniel's bottle. I wasn't thrilled with the shape of the neck, but happy with the final results. I made an edible labe for the front, but the white letters came out on the gray side on top of the black fondant, so I over piped. Hand piped the side, neck and signature. Fondant cigars and a fondant wood grain board complete the cake.
I'm so excited about this one! I used a double fondant technique: chocolcate fondant over peach colored, and made leaf and flower cutouts in the chocolate to show the peach underneath. I, of course, made gumpaste flowers: roses, mums, fall hydrangeas, berries, freesia, maple, oak, ivy, and mum leaves, mushrooms and acorns. Also did leaf cutouts that were embossed with a silk roller. Cake flavors were dark chocolate w/ amaretto-espresso IMBC and lemon cake w/ rasp and lemon IMBC; vanilla IMBC under fondant.
Here's a cake I made for my husband's uncle's 50th birthday this past weekend. it stood 17" sall. It was made from 4 6 inch cakes (2 amaretto mud cake, 2 almond scented butter cake) all filled w/ amaretto-espresso and mocha IMBC. All decos are fondant and gumpaste (even the rings!) TFL
Hey all! Here's one I did on Saturday. Inside - top 2 - almond scented butter cake with mocha and raspberry IMBC; bottom - amaretto mud cake w/ mocha & raspberry IMBC filling. Covered in IMBC and topped with fondant. The scrolls were made to match the scrolls on the invitations (I'll post that one too). Brides flowers were orange lilies - topper was made from gumpaste. I ordered SCW's new lily center molds and they work FABULOUS! I loved how these flowers came out! I'll post a close up of topper and scrolls
This was the cake I just delivered. All fondant with violet fondant swags. Royal Icing Happily Ever After in celedon. Cakes were amaretto mud cake with amaretto-espresso and raspberry IMBC filling and Lady Baltimore cake with mocha and raspberry IMBC filling. IMBC under fondant as well. Bride provided the Cinderella topper. Orchids were hand made from gumpaste. TFL!
This was a cake I did a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot my camera and had to wait for the photographer to send me the pics! Cake was a basic vanilla 1-2-3-4 cake with mango, coconut and key lime IMBC fillings and IMBC frosting under the fondant. I modeled the bride and groom after the actual couple. He has a Harley like the one on the cake and the bride wanted to incorporated it into the design. Harley is not sugar, but its sign is. Bride and Groom were all fondant - flowers as well.
This is another dummy for my event tonight. I found a photo of a teacup by Villeroy and Boch in a magazine and was inspired to make a cake out of it! Covered in pink fondant with gold fondant piping at the tops and bottoms of the tiers. Gold branches of cherry blossoms encircle the tiers as well - made from piped royal icing and gumpaste. Separators are 2 in high styrafoam dummies, covered in fondant and painted gold.
This is one of two dummy cakes I made for an event I was asked to participate in. Josh Groban is performing tonight and a local radio station is doing a wedding theme in the VIP tent! I made cakes for tasting as well. This one was covered in ivory fondant, has white lace appliqués, fondant bow, gumpaste broach with fondant pearls. I topped it with a gumpaste lace "head piece". This was molded from lace appliqués formed over a small half ball pan. When it was dry, I added fondant pearls btwn connections.
This was a cake I literally put together last night! I was asked by a local bridal resource center to do a cake for their vendor room and the grand opening tomorrow evening. I thankfully had the peony made, and the border I chose was one that has an Asian flare to it and resembles a peony. I'll upload the close up. Since the flower is an Oriental Peony, I thought it would make a great combo. Hopefully the brides coming in will like it also.
This was a disaster! It was supposed to be 5 tiers high, but The bride had a small budget, so the top 3 were dummies. This would have been okay if the "lovely" Wilton scroll separators were made to hold up the cakes! The DJ put a wall of speakers right next to the cake table so the whole thing shook! I ended up putting 1 tier on the table. The bride wanted the "coach" look - hence the horses... no idea if it lasted with the 450 + guests! All fondant scrolls, medallions, beaded border.
This was the graduation cake I had today. School colors were green and white. Client was shades of green with polka dots and accent of pink. I made the pearl curls with fondant on floral wires. The graduation cap & tassels were made from fondant also. Flavors were all Swedish butter cake; top 2 tiers were chocolate IMBC filling and bottom was strawberry IMBC filling. Served 50.
This was for a girl who graduated from high school and LOVES the Sox... I'm a Yanks fan, but had a great time making the cakes! lol The jersey has the grad's last name and the graduation year on it.

Probably the largest shoe ever made! lol. (3) 12x18 sheets of vanilla cake stacked with strawberry IMBC filling made this beast! Just to give you all an idea of the size - it's on a 22 in round board. All fondant accents - even the "floor". This is to be the presentation cake. I also made 50 cupcakes with toe shoe lolipops standing up in the centers (white w/ orchid pink luster dust). Enjoy!!!
