Red, Black Silver Wedding Cake

Made for a cousin and his fiancee, very special couple espcially as I lived with them for 4 months. Cake design was inspired by a wilton cake the bride liked and the wedding invitation. Had a lot of issues with this cake- running out of time because of company (no sleep), my food poisoning from eating football stadium food at football game, transporting 7 hours... got it done though and the bride and groom loved it.

Transformers Chocolate Cake

A surprise for my brother, he requested the chocolate zucchini cake and ganache. He saw Optimus Prime immediately when they made their entrance to the reception and of course had to fix something. The wedding cake was fruit flan (also in my photos) so I added some chocolate covered strawberries to tie it in a little... same rough icing look as the brides cake as well.

Fruit Flan Wedding Cake

Made for my brother and new SIL. Definately would have changed a few things but they loved it and it tasted great - vanilla sponge with bavarian cream. Design switch at the last minute too so couldn't get the proper supports, I improvised. The middle tier was set too far back and I worried that it would all go over... my husband and I placed a wooden dowel at the back, lucky the cake was in a corner. They also requested the rough icing look and the fruit in her wedding colors red, orange and yellow.

Another Year Gone...

Made for my FIL who loves his la-z-boy!. Chocolate cake with fresh cherries. My buttercream was 'off' - I think because it was the first time I made it with clear vanilla. I guess its fondant only for bright white cakes. Wasn't happy with this cake all around.

Bronze Elegance

This cake was for my husband's niece - just a small cake for the second dinner they had. Almond cake with raspberry cream and vanilla buttercream, looked so pretty to cut!. Gluten free and low sugar but you would have never known - one of the best tasting cakes yet. 6" cake with a single layer 4" on top. Painted with bronze luster dust and used a silk flower.

Electrician's Cake

This was ordered by my coworker as a surprise for her finace's bachelor party. Chocolate cake with dark chocolate mint ganache and mint buttercream. Tools and cord were made from MMF. First time with a FBCT and liked it for the most part. My black buttercream kept seperating in the pastry bag - wording is terrible, but he loved the cake. Thanks ladybuglau for the inspiration.

Rocky Mountain Park Scene

made for my park director's birthday. tried to carve a carrot cake - perhaps a little too moist. All covered in MMF. Grizzly bear in MMF as well. Used a star tip to add texture to the fur.

Dried Pineapple Flower Cake

4, 6, 8 rounds of hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing. Tried my new Wilton decorating triangle... wouldn't do it again with a cream cheese icing or without a turn table! Also tried Martha Stewartâs dried pineapple flowers â a little too brown but very delicious, thanks ButterBea for the info.

Graphic Flowers And Leaves

A background pattern I found on a website... had trouble with black MMF as it lost all elasticity. The cake was delicious anyway! 4" (3layers), 7"(2 layers) and 8" (1layer). Each tier alternated chocolate and chocolate hazelnut layers. Made Tobas chocolate buttercream recipe for the first time (used unsweeted chocolate in ganache) - best chocolate icing I've ever had!

I made this cake for my new BIL as a thank you for giving me a lot of cake decorating things that had been his father's. Vanilla spice cake with egg nog creamcheese icing. First time using MMF too! Had problems with the icing being too thin from the beginning. Also wondering how everyone covers the top layer.. mine's not so nice. Constructive feedback welcome! Thanks.

My Own... Wedding Dress Cake

I did it! Made my own wedding cake... a long night but made it. Lemon vanilla cake with lemon curd and RBC. Royal icing appliques to match the lace on my dress (there was going to be a lot more but they all broke) and didn't get to finish the sugar hydrangea for the topper so I had the florist spray a silk one the morning of. My dress had pleats along the bottom that I tried to replicate but ended up layering strips because I used RBC (last cake with RBC). Dress - Alfred Sung 7009 and added a sash.
