I made these for my Husband, father-in-law, and brother-in-law's birthdays, which all happen to be this week. I figured we'd all had enough turkey and pie, so burgers would be just the ticket! These are chocolate cupcakes covered with chocolate clay, attached with buttercream.
This is my first *real* basketweave. We stuffed fresh daisies in each of the "baskets". Don't think I will ever use that stand again though, that was a little nerve-racking.
I am still getting the hang of my new airbrush...this was fun.
Thanks to all those on the message boards that got me through this one. The bride wanted "simple and elegant" and oh ya, can you put a fountain under it? LOL. The cake is all white with rasberry (a guest actually yelled at me for making all one flavor - he said it didn't matter if that is what the bride wanted, it isn't like SHE is going to eat the whole cake herself!) Anyway, rolled chocolate covered with buttercream accents and fresh roses.
Thanks so much to MEOMY, since her castle cake is the cake my 8 YO dd drew much of her inspiration from for the design for this cake.
My sister gave me the idea, and I made this one for a friend. This is my first time working with chocolate clay, and I got the coloring a little off (doesn't she looked jaundiced to you?) But overall, it was a fun cake!
This was for a double baby shower. The bottom is a sheet cake "carved" and the top of the bootie is an 8"round.
This was for my Father In Law's 50th birthday. I got the figurine at Wal-mart in the Christmas section, he goes to a village or something like that. The text around the outside says "Here Lies My Youth"
This was my first time working with Gumpaste...still trying to get the hang of the stuff!
They aren't nearly as cute as I saw them in my mind, but fun anyway. The cupcakes themselves are french vanilla, with strawberry filling, so they BLEED when they are bitten into. :) The tounges and teeth and fingers are "gummy body parts" from the store. The eyeballs are chocolate clay molded and painted. It was fun, and they should be a hit at the cupcake walk tonight!
This cake was just like a banana split, bottom layer is strawberry, middle pineapple and top chocolate with Whipped Cream icing. I don't have pictures of the flowers on it, as I forgot to take my camera to the reception hall. (don't you hate it when you do that?)
this is a closeup on the heart detail.
This five tiered wedding cake was covered in Chocolate clay and buttercream borders. The flowers are fresh roses and stepahnotis. The heart detail on the cake were cut with a standard heart cutter and then bent by hand to make the shape.
Everyone who can tell I have never even SEEN a gamecube....raise your hand! :) LOL. This is for my nephew's 8th birthday tomorrow. He saw a similar cube on here when we were looking for ideas, and that was what he wanted! Thanks all for looking...and for being such an inspiration!
Okay, as promised, here is the *finished* cake. there will still be borders between the layers, I just don't do that until I get it on site. It is fondant, gumpaste and buttercream. This one was too much fun I think.
She is made entirely of Gumpaste. She is going on a cake which I will post later (once it is finished).
This was my first attempt at sugared fruit. The cake is red Velvet and the frosting is whipped cream. (by the way, make sure your RED caked is sealed before you put icing on it...unless you want it a tie-dyed pink...i found out the hard way after having to scrape off this icing and re-do it :) )
The bride wanted simple and elegant, and that is all the direction she gave me. This is the result.
I made this cake for a friend's wedding. I did the silk flower arrangements also. Cake is all butter cream, except for the small purple flowers, they are silk.
All the little duckies are royal icing, the waterfall is too. Grass is green tinted coconut. Everything else is creamcheese icing!
This was a birthday/Easter cake for a 75th birthday. He loved German Chocolate, so the basket is made out of that. Handles and flowers are royal icing.
I made the globe out of cake and covered it with Chocoalte Clay. The base is a big rice Krispie treat, since that is what the honoree really missed while he was gone.
The one and only cake I did not deliver myself and it crashed before the event. It was fun to make though! Red and windshield were airbrushed. :)
Covered in Fondant, this was a birthday cake for my 4 yo DD.
Pieces crafted out of Fondant. Inside the cake is a checkerboard cake.
