This was a wedding gift to my cousin. I had nightmares about this cake for a week before making it because I had never made such a big cake. Thank God everything went well with the delivery which took over an hour on a very bumpy expressway. The only difficult part was figuring out how to get it up 15 steps at the hotel entrance with a very uncooperate and rude hotel staff. But my husband and I made it in one piece and the bride and groom loved the cake. Glad it's over.... now I can sleep again. LOL
Cake for a 13-year old team roping champion. Buttercream with fondant cut-outs which I drew on. Figured if I make a mistake, I can just start over.
This was made for someone celebratiing Three Kings Day that wanted a Christmas theme. Everything is gumpaste except for the basket which is fondant.
My friend asked me to duplicate a painting that her dad did for his birthday. I tried to do it with my brand new airbrush but that didn't go very well because I had no clue how to use it. I ripped off the fondant and started over by just using paintbrushes. I really have to learn to use the airbrush.....
I was delusional in thinking that after a day of cooking and baking for a Christmas party tomorrow, that I would have time to make a topper for this cake. My original plans were to make a sleeping santa as I was inspired by all the adorable cakes on CC, but by the time I finished the cake, I was exhausted and just added a cupcake ornament that I had laying around.
Inspired by Tiptop57's beautiful book and could not have done it without the terrific instructions which she posted in the Forum section. Thank you Tiptop57!!!
I tried to put two halves togther to make a perfectly round ornament, but I had a heck of a time wrapping it in fondant. I resorted to the cupcake ornaments which were very easy to do.
Made to match invitations. Topper is hand molded fondant.
Inspired by Rhesp1212's cake which I fell in love with. Made it for a shower with a purse/shopping/girlie theme.
Inspired by Jamiet's cake who is one of my favorite cake artist here on CC.
I tried to duplicate the real Chanel based on a picture that I found on-line. I should have made the straps a few days before because I wanted them to stand but didn't have enough time.
Thank you Arosstx for this design and thank you Divaricks for your adaptation which I shamlessly copied to the last detail because it was too beautiful to change anything.
This is my second football cake. I thought it would be easier than the first but it was just as challenging, if not, more than the first. I used Sylvia Weinstock's recipe which I use all the time for carving and it started to break apart when I was tapering the form. I put two halves together (from the Wilton pans) and it looks to deflated and flat so I tried to give it some dimension and as I was carving I started to see huge cracks form. Needless to say, I patched this baby up with some buttercream.
I am really enjoying making gumpaste flowers. The cake is a dummy cake.
Cattleya Orchid in gumpaste. Fun to make!!
All fondant with fondant topper. Mother of birthday girl wanted all pink and white for her little princess.
All hand molded except for Snow White which was given to me by the birthday girl's aunt who ordered the cake. This was so fun to make. I used Debbie Brown's book for a guide on modeling. Her books are awesome for fondant modeling because it gives you step by step instructions.
This is the first of three cakes that I am making for my two niece's birthday party this Saturday. The othe requests are a purse and a Hello Kitty Cake. As you can see, I spoil my little princesses.
This cake survived a white chocolate recall, necessitiating me to throw out two tiers that I had already baked. After that, it was Murphey's Law and whatever could go wrong, did. But in the end, I am happy with the results and soooooooo relieved that it's over.
Thank you Cambo for your awesome tutorial which I used to make this cupcake bouquet. I made it for a bake sale at work and only sold a few cupcakes because the customers did not know it was edible. When we pointed it out to customers they would say "oh, I thought it was a decoration." LOL I didn't raise alot of money but it sure made a hit with the girls in the office.
Transfered image onto a fondant plaque. This was fun to do.
