Topper with gumpaste native wildflowers and fall leaves celebrating Lady Bird Johnson Centennial for Native Plant Center
Design inspired by the bride's gown (satin skirt with sash and bling, buttons down the back), and by her bouquet of vintage-style white garden roses.
Spring bridal shower -- a preview of her wedding cake, but in spring colors, inspired by her dress and flower choice. Gumpaste roses and bow, the rest is fondant.
Just a quick cake for a family birthday and an opportunity to practice a floppy bow.
Because I'm not crazy about the taste of poured fondant, I decided to go with rolled. New meaning to the word "tedious". Almond torte with amaretto and apricot glaze. Orange pound cake with Grande Marnier and marmelade glaze.
Trying out a couple of new toys -- the houndstooth stencil and a pearl cutter. The tricky part with the stencil is matching up the pattern since the stencil is only about a third of the circumference of an 8-inch round. I used a strip of fondant rather than trying it directly on the cake. Matching the seams is tough!
Birthday boy is in the heavy equipment business and doesn't eat chocolate. Had to use his toys and make an earth-moving scene with no chocolate, so I used marbleized fondant and sugar crystals. Used the toys to make tread marks on everything.
Fondant with fondant decos except for gumpaste letters and daisies on top. Wilton floral impression mat for board and ribbons. Thank heavens my daughter is home from college -- she made all the fondant daisies for the tiers!.
Swiss meringue buttercream with fondant decor around the side and gumpaste on top
Butter cookies decorated with Toba's glace, wafer paper printed with antique Santa postcards, royal, and edible glitter and paints.
Base tier is 3 layers iced in dark chocolate ganache. Top tier is marbelinzed fondant. Large rocks, figure, numerals are gumpaste. Small rocks are purchased chocolate candies. What fun to do a cake where neither the icing nor the fondant have to be smooth!! All the "mistakes" are on purpose!
Red, white and blue stars
wreath cake decorated with leaves, roses, acorns, pinecones made with modeling chocolate (chocolate "clay")
Fondant covered cake with gumpaste leaves, acorns, and yellow rose
For a 12 year old girl -- all fondant decos.
For a friend's daughter who is crazy about the movie. Thanks to adflora and youngestdecorator for the idea of putting paper photos on fondant plaques. The rest is SMBC.
Chocolate fondant with ruffles and drapes and chocolate clay rose decorations
Brush embroidery from Toba Garrett pattern.
My first try using Rhonda's recipe for chocolate fondant -- it worked like a charm and tastes fabulous. I'm so happy to have found the CC community and the incredibly helpful info available here! Thank you, Rhonda! Flowers are gumpaste; ribbon is Pettinice fondant with Swiss dots.
