Like before another take on a quick cake.
Last minute cake for family. So easy but so much joy....kids were thrilled.
Been a while since I posted.
Found these cupcake cases in Ikea....was a bit disappointed with the shap. I wanted the cupcakes to be tall, but my UK muffin tin didn't accomodate these Sweedish cases. Any ideas of how I could have kept the tall shape?
Cot cake made from vanilla cake with ganache. Fondant cot frame. I had to travel with the cake and decided to assemble cot at the party. I wrapped the dry frame in bubble wrap. However by the time I unwrapped, the frame began to soften. It managed to stay up for photos but started to sag after a while. NOTE TO SELF: Bubble wrap makes fondant sweat and soften!!
First time using Michelle Forster's Fondant. I found it better to use then MMF. It was more easier to roll out, held up in the heat. and tasted great under ganche. This cake was for my daughter's graduation party. (KG3). I loved making it and was really pleased that I didn't have to deal with elephant skin!! Would really recommend people trying this fondant. BTW thank you Michelle for sharing your recipe. Without people like you we beginners would not have a chance. Thank you for looking.
I was really disappointed with the results. They just seemed very messy to me. Plus I ran out of time, and felt the fondant wasn't smooth enough. Luckly I only do this for my family so no harm done.
Second attempt at flooding. These balloons were piped on wax paper then transfered on to the cup cakes once dried. Really quick and easy!!! Just wished colours were a bit brighter. Thanks for looking.
First attempt at flooding. I used black icing as an out line and piped directly on to the fondant. This helped to stop the colours from runing into each other. I was pleased with the way it came out...though need to work on my writing skills. TFL
This cake was for my youngest son who is working towards memorising the Quran. What a disaster!!! I gave my self a day to make this cake, (including baking from scratch). Never again! Things were going well until I dropped the freshly baked cake after I cleaned the kitchen!! (I always wondered how people do this...now I know!) Nonetheless I manged after screaming at everyone to get out of my way and taking shortcuts like using chocolate squares for the side. The cake was supposed to be a surprise but my son being him found it!!! AHHHHH
Cookies for a cake sale at school. My daughter loved the pink!!!
Cakes for my daughter's school. Great way to use up fondant!
This was a very special cake made for my son who had finished memorising the Quran. We had a surprise party for him, and naturally I had to make the cake (He is mad about my cakes lol). Thank you so much to the many CC members who gave advice on how to travel with cakes and keeping them moist. They were a huge hit! TFL
This was for my daughter who had finished memorising the last part of the Quran. She is 5 years old and loves pink! I was so proud of her and the cake....vanilla with white chocolate ganache. MMF fondant. A big thank you to a number of CC members for advice about traveling with the cakes, and keeping them moist. TFL
My word....this took such a long time, but I enjoyed every moment of it. But as my husband moved the cake, two turrets fell and crashed!!! The lady who wanted this cake requested it to be orange. I thought peach was a good compromise. The cake is a number of bakery bought pound cakes. I am living in furnished hotel accomodation (just moved countries.) We have a microwave but no oven. So I was able to make MMF, but not bake my cakes. I wasn't going to let the lack of an oven stop me from decorating!! Thank you very much for looking.
This was the first time I used gumpaste. Thanks for looking.
This cake was inspired by many CC designs that I had seen. It was for my daughters end of school party.
Inspired by a picture I had seen on flicker. Thank you
This was another bad fondant day ( I have so many of those, but I will beat this!) The suitcase is an attempt of a copy of the Samsonite Black Label collection. Thank you very much for looking
Made this for a goode friend. Think she liked it!
This was taken from the Planet Cake book. I didn't have enough fondant so had to roll what I had pretty thin. Big mistake, as it didn't have the clean edges I would prefer. Thanks for looking.
Made this cake to celebrate the Islamic New Year (1431). It's a cave, made out of chocolate fudge cake. The cave, spider web and the bird's nest are all significant to the New Year. (Just incase you were wondering.) Thanks for looking!
6 inch vanila sponge cake. First time making roses. (Certainly need more practice!!)
Teddy bear cupcakes make for a teddy bear picnic. Teddies made from fondant.
