This cake evolved as I made it. The bottom tier is eggnog cake with a Parisian almond buttercream filling. The top tier is a chocolate cake with a berry filling. The design for the bottom tier, I took from the amazingling stunning cake by farnazmom3 . The top tier was the part that "evolved" but I'm pleased with the out come. TFL
Thank you to all the CCs for all the great cakes that inspired my Turkey. I know it's been done before but it was so much fun to make. I used a 9 inch heart pan on top of the 9X13 oval and carved to shape. I'll be posting a picture step by step on my blog soon.
This is my first "official" wedding cake. It was for my friend who had a casual western wedding but she wanted a traditional cake. She left the design up to me so this is what I came up with. 6/8/10 with seperators. Bottom tier is mimosa cake and top two are lemon. This is also my first attempt at gumpaste roses and first time seperating tiers(very scary). I learned a lot from this cake and would do a TON of things differently but overall I liked how it came out. Thanks for looking.
This is my test cake using choco-pan. I am not proud of my fondant work but I do like the overall effect. I need to practice getting the wide ribbon on straight. It was very crooked. But it's a gift cake for my sis so hopefully she won't mind. Chocolate cake with Raspberry Mouse filling.
Thanks to all the great wine bottle cakes on CC. And special thanks to Sugar Shacks' Boxes and Bows DVD which helped with how to do the sides so they were stable and straight. I know this cake has been done before but it was my first wine bottle cake. It was for a Wine party and numerous people wanted to open that bottle of wine:) Everything is edible except the foil. Cake is 2 layers of chocolate 10X15 sheet cakes. White chocolate shavings for packing material. 50/50 gumpaste/fondant for the bottle, edible image for the label.
This cake is based on a Debbie Brown design but I used Barky's cake (and a few others) here on CC for inspiration. I take no credit for the design. This cake was for a guy graduating HS, joining the national guard and starting college all in the next 3 months. The flag is for the NG, the orange T-shirt is his HS colors and the boxers are his college colors and mascot. The cake flavor is Snickers, inspired by Melvira's snickers cupcakes and Bettercreme Fun thread. Chocolate cake with alternating layers of malt flavored Bettercreme and caramel and peanut layers. It's a 6 inch square cake with an extra 1 inch layer to help with the proportions. The cake was a gift and I had complete control over the design ...my only hope is that the graduate acutally "gets" the cake. Otherwise I'm his mom's crazy friend who made him a washing machine cake for his graduation:)
Chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Chocolate frosting and buttercream accents.
Red Velvet cake, southern boiled frosting. Each leaf is a separate heart cake.
Chocolate cake. Buttercream decorations, fondant letters. I used the trace method for this and was impressed how well I was able to do the details using this method. I was most impressed because my mother the artist said I would never be able to do this in frosting:)
This is a chocolate cake covered in black buttercream. Fondant hanger. I used the wilton ball pan which worked fabulously. It was for my mom's Xmas party and her colors were black, red and silver. I will never again do an all black cake. People were walking around with purple teeth all night:)
This was my first fondant cake and my first "topsy turvy", I took a TT class and we did the cakes in class.
This was a chocolate cake and the bugs were made using the William Sonoma bug pan. The cake was for a shower my sister was hosting so my mom and sister helped me decorate the bugs. They were floored how hard it was to make them look just right. I would not recommend buying this pan. It would have been easier to carve them out of cake or just do fondant ones:)
Choc/Cherry cake with almond buttercream with fondant accents. This was before I figured out how to avoid the bulge:( The cake was a for a friend who just completed a masters in physics. Graduation cap and diploma are fondant. I am a geek so I loved doing all the physics symbols.
This is a pound cake made in the Wilton stand-up house pan. All buttercream. Coordinating polka dot cake was made for additional servings. Baby shower theme was black and white puppy dogs and red fire hydrants.
Mini cupcakes, with rosette instead of carnation style flowers. These were thank you gifts for people hosting a fundraiser.
Friends were having a very small wedding and requested this as their "wedding cake". Mini cupcake bouquet.
This was my first tiered cake and my first bow. Made for a friends baby shower. Matching cupcakes were made as favors.
Chocolate cake with almond buttercream. Wondermold pan on top of oval. Used the wilton Castle kit for the towers. The road is made from the large diamon sprinkles made by wilton. This was made for a Candy Land themed Christmas party
Each cake is 1/2 from the ball pan. Piped the flower center and made the petals from tylose and fondant mix. Dried the petals on cardboard tubes a few days before. These took forever to pipe but I do love the effect. The idea came from one of my caker decorating books. I'm sorry I don't have close up pic, they're all too small to post.
This is made using the Nordicware easter bunny pan. The pan is great but my recipe didn't yield quite enough batter so he is a much prettier cake from the side than the front because you can see how where he is split. I really didn't want to cover the rabbit part in frosting so I sucked up the fact that from the front he looks a bit odd:) Was a lemon cake with whipped buttercream frosting. I used white choc ganache to glue the two halves together and also for the tail. All veggies are fondant.
I had a friend who's dad raises cattle and this is supposed to be his favorite cow. Best I could do in frosting. Cake is chocolate with chocolate orange frosting
These were sadly unstable and not quite as good as I wanted them to be. Instead of cutting a slice out of a full cake, i cut the cake into pieces and stacked and they were a bit unstable at the tips. I should have chilled the cakes before I did it as well. Strawberry cake, strawberry BC and fondant accents. And Duff roses based on instructions in the gallery.
Ideas from Hello Cupcake book. Bowling pins are cupcakes with donut holes on top and bowling ball is made using the mini ball pan.
The pink cake is strawberry cake with strawberry frosting. The chocolate cake is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Real ribbon for the bows. The party theme was the couples initials hence the 2 cakes.
these cakes are made in the Jumbo Cupcake pans and turned upside down. Stripes are BC as you can tell:) Fondant rose dusted with sparkling sugar. This was for a princess birthday. The crown cake was for the birthday girl, rose cakes were for attendees.
WASC with Raspberry cream filling. Chocolate guitars and fondant music notes.
