Fondant cherry blossoms and buttercream icing. Only 4" round.
Customer's bday boy apparently gives all the women that have birthdays in his friends/family stud finders as he is known as Mr. Stud. I've been told his wife thinks otherwise ; ) Red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream and Satin Ice fondant. Edible image is made to look like it was torn out of a paper.
Customer sent me a pic of what she wanted, so thanks to whomever did this cake. The only change I made to it was having the duckies out of fondant instead of plastic toys. Cream cheese icing (bubbles too) with fondant duckies. Rainbow cake underneath!
A customer and I came up with this idea for her husband who is from Newfoundland. Got the draping flag idea from CC and the image from online (FBCT). Everytime my cakes turn out like my initial drawing I'm impressed...haha TFL
Thanks for all the inspiration on CC for this cake. Buttercream covered chocolate cake with RKT wheels covered in fondant. Little fondant pylons. "Dirt" is a combination of graham crumbs, brown sugar, white sugar and crushed chocolate cookies. TFL
Made this for my boyfriend - he used to be really into guitars and I'm trying to get him to re-realize his love for them...lol First time doing this type of cake - the stand alone took me many hours of planning and contructing over the past few weeks. The neck of the guitar is wood, covered with foil and fondant and there is a wood base to the guitar head which has about 10 little wooden dowels glued into it for support. The base of the stand has a notch where the guitar head sits in, and the two wooden pieces are together with four dowels between both pieces - interlocking. The cake is the head of the guitar and is covered with fondant and fondant details. This is one cake I completely wish I had an airbrush system - I used the Wilton spray do the detail on the head - the red worked okay, but the black was useless and just wet the cake. I ended up having to paint the sides black. The string is elastic silver thread. Many people at the party were standing right beside the cake wondering where the cake was - mistaking it for a real guitar. A good sign I think!!
My second cake like this. Edible image Justin leaning on an 8" round cake, covered in buttercream with fondant zebra stripes and fondant stars and "9". Board is covered in fondant as well. TFL!
One of my best customers had a little train, probably five inches in length total, made out of wood that she got when she was very small. She wanted a birthday cake of the train since she always orders cakes for her family and never has one for herself! The hill is the cake; the train is RKT covered in fondant. The hooks are thick aluminum. The board the train is on is 22" x 23" just to give you a scale. The second picture is that of her real little train. TFL!
8 & 10" squares (1 layer) red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and vanilla buttercream covered. Fondant accents. TFL
Carved marbled cake with caramel icing and Satin Ice fondant. Detailing in vanilla buttercream and some fondant. TFL
Cake is carved to be the same shape as The Wiggles' logo with the lettering done in fondant and an exacto knife. The Big Red Car is a toy I found on Ebay ; ) Cheating, I know...but it's the little boy's gift from me as well!
Buttercream covered cake with fondant cut out John Deere logo.
A customer sent me a picture of Kelly @ Crafty Confections in Ireland's Mickey cupcakes. This was my attempt at them. I made a batch of IMBC icing (my first), but I didn't like the taste and it didn't seem too "fluffy" - I ended up using my regular vanilla bc for the domes. Even with the dome of icing, once I put the fondant on, they fell. Not overly impressed with the way they turned out (made 24 of them), but they were definitely a learning experience. VERY similar to decorating petit fours. Ew.
My replica of loveandsugar's masterpiece. 6" round and small dome cake for Mickey hat. Cake covered in buttercream and freehand bc Mickey heads on cakeboard. Everything else is fondant. Ears "glued" on with meringue powder/water mixture. Made 24 matching cupcakes.
Special order for a husband that obviously is getting tickets to UFC in Vegas. Styrofoam 12" octagon for base covered in marbled fondant. 9" octagon vanilla with strawberry filling top covered in fondant. FBCT UFC symbol. Fondant/gumpaste Vegas sign, had drawn. Tulle "cage". TFL!
FBCT Mary Poppins. All buttercream. TFL
Decided to do a few of these cookie bouquets for friends and some family this Christmas instead of buying gifts... Wish I would have known how long it takes to do these up!! Would have bought gifts instead ; )
From Wilton's 2005 Yearbook. Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream; sugar cookie antlers. Doing a few of these ones around the holiday season ; )
Originally done by artist Don Buclak for the Red Wings prior to the 2008 1st game Stanley Cup Finals. All buttercream and cake, carved and pieced together. Took some time ;) For a Red Wings fan in Edmonton, therefore the Oiler's logo smashed to peices.
Was asked to make a stage for a Hannah Montana doll - found one here on CC, but I think the stage part itself was an actual plastic setting. Did my best to do the fondant ruffling on the bottom, but can never get it right, or done before drying too much. Any helpful comments would be appreciated. TFL
Jeff Dunham's puppet Achmed the Dead Terrorist FBCT on an 8" square. Made the two candy melt plaques to try to hide the bulge the cherry filling made - I can never seem to get away from fruit fillings and oozing... TFL
Sweetycakes44 did this cake but in four tiers and is simply STUNNING! Borrowed the idea, for a request for this weekend! Buttercream covered, with fondant accents. TFL!
Thank you morrisaz2004 for your wonderful cake idea!! 12" round covered in black buttercream (little mouths will be purple for a while!! haha), FBCT Oilers logo, fondant Team Canada jersey, hockey stick and maple leaves. I call this cake "The Canadian Cake" ; ) TFL!
First time I covered a cake board in fondant, worked out pretty good. Basically the base of a topsy turvy cake. 10" rounds carved with a taper at the bottom. Buttercream covered with fondant accents and fondant/gumpaste stars & 40. Thanks for all the inspiration on CC!
Wilton pan, buttercream icing. Nothing crazy. Did a bunch of these this season - only differences are the cake boards and ribbons.
I had the great opportunity to do Edmonton's first Cora's Breakfast and Lunch restaurant's 1st Anniversary cake for this past weekend! (Canadian franchise started in Quebec) The colored tiers are vanilla cake with vanilla icing covered in Satin Ice; the other three sections are styrofoam covered in Satin Ice. All fondant decorations hand molded, and letters and sun's cut with an exacto knife. I call this cake the biggest one of my "career" thus far. ; ) TFL!
