8 inch base with a 4 inch top. Oh how I want a 5 or 7 inch cake pan:) Frosted in buttercream. Modeling chocolate flowers and accents. Lots of plunger flowers and butterflies.
8 inch strawberry cake. Frosted in buttercream. Fondant eyes and number 3. I airbrushed the cake red instead of trying to color all that buttercream. Thanks to the many versions of this cake here on CC and the web.
6-9 inch red velvelt cake. Cream cheese frosting rosettes. White chocolate cross
6 inch offset on 9 inch base. Buttercream cake and clouds, fondant characters. Gelatin cup. I made this cake for a good friend whose baby shower theme was Children's books. Books/stories represented: Hungry Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, Give a Mouse a Cookie , Good Night Moon (on the back) and Cow jumped over the moon. Also feel I needed one more set of clouds between Pooh and Alice:)
Original design was by Abigail Cakes. My friend found it on Pinterest. We changed up a few things but the core is the same. 4 in - 8 inch cakes. Strawberry cake with strawberry cream filling. Buttercream with fondant accents
Italian Cream Cake cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. Flower and cross accents
This is a jumbo cupcake, regular cupcake and mini cupcake stacked for memorial day. The red "cherry" is just a cherry sour placed on top. I enjoyed these. They have a lot of impact but were simple to make.
Made these for my friend's 5 yr old daughter's birthday. She loves Scooby. Strawberry cupcakes, strawberry buttercream, fondant round buttercream Scooby face with Starburst tongue
Purse cake is buttercream with fondant flap. Flower is jolly ranchers melted into jewel mold. Shoes are cupcakes with sugar cookie sole and wafer cookie heel. This was my first purse and my first cupcake shoes. I'm looking forward to my second round. The purse was unstable. Next time I will make it wider and probably over it in fondant.
Giant cupcake pan, chocolate base. Fondant animals and george.
Italian cream cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Sugar hearts from Luck's and the candy balls are from William Sonoma
These were for a little girls birthday. She is into lions at the moment. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate mane and vanilla frosting face.
Cupcakes are Guiness chocolate cake with Irish Cream filling topped with Ganache. Toppers are fondant cutouts with Luck's edible image letters.Used the Cricut to cutout the letters.
Giant cupcake pan, chocolate liner and modeling chocolate butterflies. This is a carrott cake with cream cheese frosting and the frosting got a little soft on me. It was my first time doing the chocolate line. I love it! It's such a fun look.
This is a meet the baby , baby shower cake for a little boy. I was given a sample multi-colored napkin to work off of and specifically asked not to include the pink but now I really wish I had just a little bit of pink to break up the color. Something about the coloring seems just a little flat to me. Feet are chocolate mold, buttons are modeling chocolate using the Wilton mold. I think I need to buy multiples of molds from now on...took for ever to make all those buttons 4 at a time:)
4 inch round cake. Used grass tip for fur. Nose is orange buttercream. Eyes are buttercream with a lot of powdered sugar added. Didn't want a 1 yr old grabbing fondant. Additional pic is coordinating cupcakes. Polka dots on cupcakes are modeling chocolate
I used a cake by Alycat613 as inspiration for the these cupcakes. I was crazy short on time so I was unable to do the additional fish and bobbers I had hoped to add to a couple more cupcakes. The fishing pole is a vanilla bean and the string is dental floss.
This cake was directly inspired by the cake by jennbuchanan. I have never done a figure before so I used hers as my guide. The cake is an 8 inch round, fondant record and Elvis.
This cake was for a friends baby shower. I was obviousely inspired by the many ruffle cakes here on CC but the one that convinced me to try it was a two-tiered one by CakeSue. This is a 6 inch round cake with 5 , 1 inch layers inside. Each layer is also a shade of pink to match the change in color of the outside. The flower on top is my fantasy peony, made with a 5 petal cutter and no wires. I plan on writing up a tutorial on the flower because it doesn't require too many tools. Hopefully CC will let me upload a pic of the inside as well as the outside.
25th Anniversary for the company my DH works for. 14 inch square, 12 , 9 and 6 inch rounds. Buttercream frosting. Hand cut fondant letters. Oh how I need a Cricut for those crazy logos. Honey comb is made out of butterscotch. Wasps on wires are fondant with gelatin wings. Antenae and feet are non-edible stamens. Company is a bar code company and the square bar codes are edible images that can actually be scanned and register messages like Happy Anniversary
This is an 8 inch mimosa cake with citrus buttercream. This design came directly from a beautiful two tier cake by Jaime3679. When my friend asked me to do something with blue and orange I was so excited because I had saved her cake a while back because I thought the colors and styling were awesome. I chose to do a different topper because it was a single tier and I wanted something over the top. I used the new wilton fondant molds for the flowers. They were super easy to use. Can't wait to buy the rest of fthe series.
I purchased the Baby Cakes Cakepop maker but didn't feel like fussing with pops so I made cake balls. Super fast and easy to use. A few oversized sprinkles and I was done.
I did this cake for my first cake competition, the North Texas Cake and Sugar Art Show. I took a first place ribbon in my category Adult Intermediat - Novelty Tiered. The main comment from the judges was that next year I should enter the next level up which I took as a massive compliment. The book and base of the house are cake dummies. The main roof is RKTs covered in fondant. The little lighthouse on top is fondant panels with gelatin windows. The tree and hedges are RKTs covered modeling chocolate. The clear hearts at the entrance I made using the Cake Play isomalt sticks which I love. The board is fondant and took FOREVER because I made it so the tiles would be flush. A big shout out to Sharon Z?s amazing DVDs?I used her book DVD to help me through the book and I used several techniques from her boxes and bows for other parts of the cakes. Thanks for looking and anyone considering entering a cake show, I highly recommend it. A lot of stress but also a lot of fun.
6 inch and 8 inch tier buttercream cakes. Cakes are strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream filling. The little boy's first birthday was the same day as his Christening so I made him a smash cupcake. I posted a detailed how to on keeponcaking.com Thanks for looking.
6 inch carrot cake with traditional cream cheese frosting. I needed a design that could handle the softness of cream cheese frosting so I used the Martha Stewart ruffle technique. I need to seriously practice this technique to get more even ruffles but it was fun and my mom loved it.
This is a 6 inch and 10 inch cake. Buttercream with fondant accents, toy cars. Chocolate number 3. I sent my friends here to cakecentral to get ideas for a Cars cake for their 3 year old son. The husband then picked their favorites and came up with this design. I'm not 100% sure which cakes he used for inspiration to give original credit to so a general thanks to all CCer cars cakes.
