Created for our regional cake contest; this year's theme was "under the sea". White butter cake with butter cream frosting under fondant. Hand modeled fondant/gumpaste accents, poured and rock sugar corals, airbrushed wave detail. My third year entering, and finally won my division!
Chocolate cake with dark chocolate buttercream. Topped with my first attempts at modeling chocolate roses. Glass dome separator had battery operated lights and gold mesh in it. (Drove all the way from NY to FL to surprise my sister with this cake for her birthday.)
White cake with strawberry filling. Fondant covered with fondant/gumpaste decorations.
This is the cake I made for my second competition. The theme was Nursery rhymes, and I chose to do Jack and Jill. Was my first topsy-turvy construction. I didn't win the judging, but did win people's choice, which was exciting. Hand carved topsy-turvy, fondant covered, airbrushed green, with fondant/gumpaste figures.
Created for a close friend who was retiring and heading on a cross-country trip to Alaksa the next day. Other than some marzipan fruit, this was my first attempt at modeling. (The truck is a replica of the homemade camper her husband designed for the trip.) 12 and 8 inch tiers. Buttercream frosting with fondant accents and characters.
My first "wedding" cake; actually for a wedding themed ladies tea. 14, 12, 10, & 6 inch tiers; mixed berry filling; all buttercream frosting and decoration.
Frosted in buttercream with fondant acents. (My first "comissioned" cake.)
Stacked cake created for my first decorating contest. (Didn't win, but had a great time!) 6,10,&14 inch tiers frosted in dark chocolate buttercream with buttercream mums, fondant-sided bushel basket, and hand-modeled marzipan fuits/veggies.
Half sheet cake created for a family friend who is an excellent woodworker/handyman. Buttercream frosting, color flow tools, fondant sign.
My second fondant covered cake completed during course 4. White cake with BC under the fondant. I kind of made this one up as I went, but in the end it reminded me of a snowflake.
This is my first tiered cake done during course 3. I neglected to plan the design around where the columns needed to go, but I'll know better next time! The design was inspired by a cake I saw here, but I'm sorry I can't remember whose it was to credit them.
This one is pre-decorating class. Nine by thirteen cake for a friend's baby shower at the office. Chocolate cake with BC frosting. The key ring is a plastic teething toy that mom-to-be got to keep.
My first fondant covered cake featuring hand-tinted fondant leaves. Pumpkin-spice cake with maple BC under the fondant.
Birthday cake for my niece's 1 year birthday. Chocolate cake frosted in BC. Decorations made in color flow.
My first half sheet cake, made for a friend/co-worker's birthday. Her favorite color is blue, so I did blue roses (a little un-natural but not too weird I hope). Chocolate cake with BC frosting and flowers.
Course 2 cake featuring many of the flowers we learned as well as basketweave. White cake with lemon filling. Frosted in BC with RI flowers.
My first cake after learning to make roses in class. Orange flavored cake with orange curd filling. Frosted in all BC.
My version of the typical clown cake from Course 1. White cake with strawberry filling. Frosted in BC. (Took classes about a year ago, but just getting around to posting!)
