Star Wars cake for a little boy's birthday. I really wanted to do it black, but the mom didn't want black (can't say I blame her - but it sure would have looked good). Butter cake with BC icing. Death star is a styrofoam ball covered in fondant; star fighter planes also fondant/gumpaste, lego figures. Dusted with disco dust, but didn't look "starry" enough, so I piped on the BC stars.
I loved this cake! It was so fun! Another joint effort between me and my cousin-in-law. She did all the baking and icing making and I did the rest. Flamingo and surfboard were mini Christmas tree decorations; umbrellas are straws that I cut the top off of; and the rest were made from fondant.
Flower cake for a 7 yr old girl who only said she wanted blue, purple, and green. The rest was up to me and her mom. Done with inspiration from a cake on this site. All buttercream with fondant accents. Mom of the girl made the cakes and the icing. I was challenged. :)
Princess cake and cookies.
Cake for a little boy turning 1. Cake done to match invites.
My husband requested a beer mug cake for his birthday. All buttercream, with fondant handle and "banner".
A joint effort between me and my cousin-in-law (is that a real word?). She did all the baking and icing making and then I helped her decorate it. Buttercream icing and fondant flowers. Inspiration from a cake on CC by Liis. Thanks!
Cupcakes before they all tipped over in the box in route. UGH! Luckily, the damage was minor and I was able to repair them, but still...I don't like delivering a product that isn't up to par. Oh well, buttercream icing, fondant crowns.
Just a quick cake for a family 'reunion' of sorts. Devils food cake with buttercream frosting and M&M flowers.
Cake for my son's monkey party. Had to alter my design a bit as I could not figure out how to make my original design work. Buttercream with fondant accents, candy bananas, and pretzel trees.
Done for a litte girl who wanted a kitty and polka dot cake. Found some cute stickers in the scrapbook section at Hobby Lobby that inspired me. Butter cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents.
A cake done with inspiration from several on this site. All buttercream with Hershey bar buildings, fondant windows and superhero logos, and a Spiderman candle.
Baby shower cake done to match a quilt that was going to be used in the baby's room.
This cake was done for a baby shower that was based on the nursery theme - antique pedal push cars. Room colors were seafoam green, khaki, and brown. I was really worried about this one. But liked the final product.
This was done for a girl's 18th birthday. She had just received word that she was accepted to Lehigh University, so they wanted to incorporate that in (that's the reason for the random hawk head). HA! There is also an LU on the side.
This was done for a little boy who only wanted a "birthday cake" (his birthday is in the summer) and a sleigh bell for Christmas. How cute is that? I think he was a very happy boy on Christmas morning.
Another fall leaves cake. Needed to throw something together quick for Thanksgiving day out at my uncles and had seen all of these cakes on CC. So, decided to just go with it. Pumpkin Spice cake with buttercream icing.
Cake done the following weekend for the same boy that got the fun cupcakes. This one was a little challenging. Thanks to frosting111 for inspiration and for answering my questions. Mine didn't come out as good as hers, but it was still a fun cake to make and the little boy loved it. All buttercream with fondant accents and cup lid.
Cupcakes done for a 6 year old's birthday to take to school. These were very fun to make!
My first wedding cake! So glad it's done and over with! White chocolate lemon cake with lemon buttercream filling. Iced with regular BC. Red velvet ribbon for the borders. Wasn't totally happy with the arrangement from the florist, but it came out ok in the end.
Cake done for a three year old girl's birthday party at the zoo. My first time to make fondant animals. They were so fun! I really enjoyed making them. Thanks to ceshell! I used several of her animals for inspiration. Also got design inspiration from several jungle/zoo cake on here.
This cake was literally thrown together last minute. Could really decide what I wanted to do and just started decorating. This is what I ended up with. Pumpkin spice cake (yum, I'm so glad fall is here) with buttercream. Fondant spider and ghosts with candy pumpkins.
Decorated a box to look like the cake for added height. All buttercream with fondant "windows" and toy figure Spiderman. Oh, and the top pieces were made from fondant/gumpaste. Thanks for looking.
A cake done for a baby shower with a duck theme. All buttercream with MMF balls/bubbles and fondant/gumpaste "soap". My first time to make and mess with MMF, I don't know if I'll ever do it again. What a mess! I also don't want to ever roll that many balls again! lol...
This cake was based on the party invitation that the little boy picked out himself. I don't have cool software to put the two together, but oh well. The invitation looked like the top tier basically, it was blue with the polka dots and the little fish at the top. The mom and the little boy LOVED it so I was pleased.
This was for a party with a Spiderman and Black Venom theme. Although I talked her into Spidey's alter ego (yes, it's different) because Black Venom was pretty darn scary looking and her child is only four. :) Thanks to KHalstead for helping me figure out the whole Black Venom thing and for inspiration. And thanks to whoever did that great tutorial on making a spiderman bust!
