I was so happy with how this turned out!! I took my time with it, worked on it over the course of 2 days (lol, and did a lot of praying!) and everything went just the way I wanted it. I didn't get it as smooth as I would have liked but overall, c'mon, it's buttercream! Only the tires are candy clay. Thank you to merissa for the inspiration and the help!
Oh, really looking forward to spring this year! Dandelions, clovers, and another flower I don't know the name of :) 3 layer chocolate cake, pb fluff bc
Apparently the fire got out of control and knocked down the wall of bc! I was able to make it look like that was *supposed* to happen :)
This is from last July, a series of bad decisions brought about this cake and the next two I'm posting :) Buttercream was WAY too thin and was just sliding right down off the cake :( One of those cakes where you say, 'What was I thinking?'
lol-that song kept running through my head when I was doing this :) 3 layer chocolate cake, pb fluff buttercream.
I saw something similar on a cake from cakeworks yesterday and had to try it, funny thing is that hubby actually told me he loved it! He's usually like, 'Eh, it's pretty but it's just cake'
I was so excited, this won first place!! First time I've won for a cake based on decorations only :) I also made a video on youtube for how to make this cake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adcvuUCF-A8&feature=channel_page
This had to be the quickest I've ever had to make a cake, baked, cooled, frosted and decorated in 4 1/2 hours! Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, caramel sauce. Decoration is outlined with black choc bc and filled in with tinted caramel sauce. I think this is my favorite stained glass that I've done :) Here's a video showing how I do it:
This could have been better but I had already had a long day of baking and decorating another cake when I decided to get this one done too. 2 layer 9x13, 1/2 raspberry, 1/2 vanilla cake, candy clay animals, the rest is buttercream.
Poor little cake, I couldn't think of a design idea! I had made the Mahjong tiles (unfortunately the mold is backwards, don't know if anyone'll notice) but I didn't know how I was gonna decorate the rest! I went through 3 different books before I landed on what I thought I wanted. Oh, I also accidentally stabbed the cake twice while I was smoothing, just one of those days!! 2 layer orange spice cake, tiles are candy clay with buttercream written on them.
This was for my 10 yr wedding anniversary, I didn't want to do the same cake we had at our wedding (*yawn* basketweave and flowers), I wanted to do something different. This is my all time favorite plate and I've already tried to match it twice, this time I finally got it! Top tier is coconut, bottom is strawberry, all bc.
I was so disappointed, I spent so much time on this cake and could not get a good picture of it! In reality this was white buttercream, not yellow.
Yay! So excited that this one turned out ok, pumpkin cake, all cream cheese frosting. I stink at scrolls so the fact that these turned out good was sooooo a nice moment :)
I thought I would try to make a chocolate/peanutbutter buttercream, thought it would taste wonderful with the caramel sauce. Well, it did taste wonderful, but well, I accidentally let my melted chocolate cool too long and it seized when it hit the buttercream! *grumble* Hence the dark chunks and pocky exterior.... Decorated with caramel sauce :)
Just playing around, lemon sugar cookies with buttercream frosting-yeah that's right, I said buttercream ;)
I was inspired by Cupcake Cafe's cakes, love their stuff!! I also did a video showing how to decorate this cake:
Vanilla cupcakes, buttercream, and candy clay butterflies. I wanted them to kind of stand out so I brushed them with some pearl dust :)
This cake was fun, I was given free reign as long as there were 5 rats (owner specified types of rats) somewhere on the cake.
*sigh* I cannot get the spacing right with my handwriting! It was supposed to also say birthday but I knew it wouldn't fit. 2 layer 9x13 chocolate cake, all buttercream. I also have a video on youtube showing how to do these flowers:
Fairly happy with how this one turned out, yellow cake, vanilla bc, candy clay video screen with bc decorations. I had made a little joystick out of candy clay too at the bottom but it was too hard to see in the picture so I cropped it out.
I posted a new video on youtube showing how to do these in buttercream:
I had printed out some pics of different kinds of flowers and wanted to see if I could make them :)
All buttercream except top part of Barbie, I made her from candy clay :)
This is for a pig roast, thought it would be funny for some reason to have a flying pig :) 3 layer chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, decorated with caramel sauce
I've always wanted to do one of these cakes! Yellow cake, all buttercream. I have a video posted on youtube showing this too :)
Chocolate cake, all peanutbutter buttercream :)
