Lego Power Miners: Rock Monster!

Lego Power Miners: Rock Monster!

My son's birthday cake. He is obsessed with Legos and wanted a Power Miners cake with rock monsters...but when I showed him a drawing of a 'mining cake' with small sugar paste monsters on it--he explained that he wanted the CAKE to be a rock monster. This is my attempt to make that request come true. He loved it and I guess that is all that matters. Cake was chocolate with buttercream icing and fondant. We added rock candy (as crystals) in its mouth and round the base when we set it up. (We held up an actual Lego Rock Monster next to the cake in one of the pictures to compare to the cake.)

Baby Girl "beary Cute" Shower Cake

Baby Girl "beary Cute" Shower Cake

Chocolate cake and fudge buttercream covered in fondant. All decorations are sugarpaste and fondant. The New Momma took home the little cake for the Daddy and She to enjoy later and then the guests ate the cupcakes. (The first layer of cupcakes each had a single letter and spelled out the baby's name "Lorielle".) Colors were the Momma's favorites and those of the nursery.

Backyardigans First Birthday

Backyardigans First Birthday

Backyardigans cake for a little boy's first birthday. White cake with white buttercream frosting. All figures are gumpaster/fondant and the decorations are fondant. Many thanks for the other CC Backyardigans cake pics--very helpful! (The horrible humidity got the better of my buttercream on the way to delivery, but Mom was thrilled anyway.)

Quartre Quarts With Pomegranate Ganache

I made a traditional French Quartre Quarts from Julia Child's book...it was delicious and the tasting with the bride went well. The topping was a Ganache made with dark chocolate, butter and pomegranate liquer...super yummy...I also steeped fresh blueberries in the pomengrante liquer and added them.

Wooden Barrel Of Apples And Fall Leaves

Wooden Barrel Of Apples And Fall Leaves

What a fun cake to make!!! I got all sorts of ideas and inspiration from fabulous other CCers--thank you so much! Ordered for a Thanksgiving birthday. The cake is 3 layers of butter yellow cake with buttercream icing. The barrel, leaves and flowers are fondant then handpainted--the apples are RCT covered in multiple layers of fondant and then handpainted. Rave reviews for this one...which made me smile as it is my first time trying to be 'realistic.'

Bmw Z4 70Th Birthday Cake

Bmw Z4 70Th Birthday Cake

Ordered for my sister's FIL's 70th birthday. He has a beloved navy blue Z4 and the MIL gave me a terrific picutre of him in it with their little Bichon looking out. Cake is lemon with buttercream icing--his fav. Car is RCT covered in gumpaste (to fill in and smooth) and then colored fondant. FIL and dog and all details are fondant/gumpaste. Had a bunch of fun making this and it was a big hit. (I did learn a valuable lesson in the usefulness of RCT vs. trying to build only out of heavier gumpaste

Spiderman Building

Spiderman Building

So this cake was for a Spiderman birthday party for a 5 year old...The party was all superhero and so they wanted an understated spiderman look...I thought that spidey looking off of a Brownstone might fit the bill. Clients were happy, but I was super frustrated with too moist cake and weepy buttercream. My original spidey was out of gum paste and fondant but he collasped and I replaced him with this candle at the last minute. *sigh*

Expectant Mommy

Expectant Mommy

I wanted to practice for a cake order I have coming up for a baby shower and I purchased and used Aine2's wonderful tutorial and just tweaked her to be a pregnant momma...1st try at a human figure and I think she turned out pretty cute. (she's all gum paste or gum paste/fondant) Any feedback would be great! Thanks!

Pirate Ship Cake

Constructed for my son's 4th BD, all cake and icing, with added speciality cookies and candies and stuff for the details. I made the sails from paper, but next time they'll be fondant and gum paste (since I'm just learning that), the barrels are wooden and painted.
