Modeling chocolate for the figures over wire. Oreos for the trail. Chocolate rocks
Buttercream cake - no fondant. Modeling chocolate for the center of the roll.
This was fun. Used a combination of modeling chocolate, rice krispie treats, and fondant to create the pirate girl and treasure chest. Painted her shirt. Made the mistake of taking the pictures before I fixed a dowel that I had run through the chest. The chest was heavy and I had to remove the dowel to trim it. Should have supported it better in the beginning. Live and learn.
Buttercream
Buttercream - Made for a couple who got married during the corona virus. Didn't have a wedding cake.....so made this afterwards for them to enjoy.
Used modeling chocolate and fondant for the baby Jesus and star. Simple but effective.
Had the idea late and wanted to give it as a surprise.....the meeting to present it came quickly.....so the details suffered. But they still enjoyed it immensely. Had planned on fondant so they could actually throw the bags of candy. Instead the recipients opened the candy, picked a color and tossed the candies for points. It was great fun! My husband made the board for me. It even folds down for easy carry.
Made this for a friend's son who is deploying. Part of Army creed. Painted eagle and flag onto fondant. Buttercream icing.
4 layer cake with blueberry filling and buttercream icing. Cords of tan tinted fondant wrapped around the cake with one large circle of fondant draped over the top. Painted brown between the cords and on top of the cake - wiped excess with paper towel. Fondant pats of butter and fondant blueberries using the star tip to make indentations. Used a straw with a bamboo skewer through it to achieve the gravity defying element. Most fun cake I've ever made. HUGE hit!
Fun with Maxine!
Used blue and white gel over white fondant to create waterfall. Marbled white and black fondant for rocks. Fondant for figures. Candle for campfire.
Ivory buttercream - inspired by another cake central cake.
Quick cake just for fun. Green bell peppers, grapes and cookies to make the palm trees. Cupcake hamburger and sugar cookies fries.
Yes...it's been done before. Yes....others can do it better. But it's still fun. Vanilla cupcake with chocolate cake burger. Buttercream lettuce, tomato, mustard and sesame seeds. Sugar cookie fries.
Not a difficult cake....but one with some extras. Cupcakes are topped with black fondant star inlaid with smaller star cut from a black and white decorated sugar sheet and adorned with a fondant alphabet. Cupcakes sprinkled with red candy stars. Chocolate cake stage with fondant lamps. Foamboard back with pictures, lights and a scarf from the curtain. Another picture of our birthday girl taking center stage. The stage is on a silver board which sits on top of another board wrapped in black and white paper for the audience of cupcakes. The microphone is white chocolate covered pretzel sprayed silver.
3 tier oval cake with buttercream icing and navy blue scroll work. Decorated with red roses and baby's breath (wrapped ends). 3 roses on top for Christian unity. 2 roses with each initial of bride and groom to be. And last name initial with 1 rose. Rose petals surround it.
Saw this online and tried it myself. Had so much fun. Baked the cakes in the jars (using water bath) and used a permanent marker to decorate. Jackolantern is spice cake with cinnamon icing. Frankestein is vanilla cake with chocolate icing tinted black. Mummy is butter cake with buttercream icing.
4 ft. cake with buttercream icing. Modeling chocolate for the nails and fondant for the sign.
My first attempt at modeling chocolate. And a thank you to the cake decorator who first inspired this. Also to my husband who made sure the structure was sound. The tree is pvc pipe covered in modeling chocolate with some black fondant worked in for effect. Pooh is RKT and modeling chocolate. The base is cake. The beehive is cake with a dowel that attaches to the choc. covered pvc pipe. This was so much fun! Black fondanct for the bee openings and candy bees here and there.
regular cupcake, buttercream icing, topped with mini marshmallows, printed a wrapper from computer and secured with doublestick tape. Would have added butterscotch topping or yellow gel for "butter" effect but didn't want to be messy at this event. It was fun!
This was a buttercream iced cake - made to look like a tabletop with fondant reminders of good memories of a life of faith, family, friends, and work. Every item has a meaning - even the little chocolate rocks, the map of mission trips, the pen with her bs. name, little jokes in the message as well as the list that reflects the priorties of life. Everything is edible including the chocolate frame and vase with flower. My friends aren't big on fondant so this cake was something they would like to eat and yet had decorative elements to make it special...but they could be removed. Only the Bible cake if fully covered in fondant. And there is cake in the gum paste tea cup.
White Baby Grand Piano, Butter cream icing, gum paste flower and music, fondant keys. Had white chocolate cover to prop on the piano but was afraid it would fall. The cake was inspired from the candelabra that was a gift from a friend. Cake was made for a choir get together.
Buttercream iced cake, with white chocolate "stone," Chocolate rocks. The cake was made from one square, a round cut in half for each end and small cakes carved to make the tomb. Flowers are buttercream.
Two cakes to celebrate baptism. Baptistery is one cake on the other with chocolate rocks and blue gel over icing to make the water. Fondant figures
