Made this for my son's 4th Birthday using inspiration from the galleries. Cake board is a cutting board that I glued pegs on. Headboard is wood from the craft store. Figures are plastic so he could have them to keep. Covered in MMF.
Inspired by corpsequeen. Thanks!!!
I just made this for my daughter's first birthday party. She's our little ladybug!!Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Covered in bc. Big ladybug body is styrofoam covered in fondant, head is all fondant with gum text. Little ladybugs are royal icing, leaves are fondant and flowers are store bought Wilton flowers. Thanks to Kdodgen for the inspriation.
Chocolate cake iced and filled with chocolate icing. Wrapped in Kit Kats and topped with Candy Corn. Idea from the galleries so thanks!!!!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake iced with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze colored orange. Leaves are fondant and painted. From a decoration stand point it didn't turn out as I had wanted so I just threw some stuff on it. Everyone thought it tasted amazing which is all that matters! Thanks to whomever posted that recipe!!!
I did a bunch of mini cakes for my husband's office. They are covered in cream cheese icing with bc roses and leaves.
This was for a woman at my husband's office who was going on her sabatacle. It's covered in bc with fondant accents
Sorry about the background :) Chocolate cake filled with cream cheese filling. Covered in whipped cream with chocolate sticks and crushed chocolate wafers as dirt. The flowers are fabric.
I did this cake for a co-worker of my husbands. I had extra fondant from a baby shower cake and came up with this.
This is the back of my birthday/baby shower cake.
This was a birthday/baby shower for 2nd baby boy cake. Bottom tier celebrates baby Bode (there are duckies on the back side) and top layer is for Mom-to-be's 30th birthday. Since it was her 2nd boy she didn't want anything too "baby" this time around. Cake is chocolate cake with chocolate filling/crumb coat. Covered in fondant with all fondant accents.
I got this idea from another cake on this site (I'm sorry, I don't remember her name). This was for my son's 2nd birthday party. The cake is chocolate with bc. Elmo is color flow, letters and number of fondant and sides covered in M&Ms. My son loved it!
This was the 2nd cake that went with my turkey cake. They are silk/plastic leaves and fake pumpkin/gourd, etc. on it. It's a carrot cake with a crusting cream cheese frosting. I did not enjoy working with this icing. It crusted great but I couldn't get it very smooth and once it sat out for too long and got soft it was impossible so I just covered as many of the flaws as I could with the decorations. I was happy with the result for the most part.
I got this great idea from the great photos on this site and followed MissMissey's instructions!! Thank you!!!!!! I did this for my husband's office. They asked for Thanksgiving theme for their November birthdays and this is what I did. They were amazed and apparently didn't even want to cut into it. I forgot to get a picture with the "stuffing" but this was good enough.
Since my last Wilton course in June I have only done one cake so I decided I might as well do a Halloween cake for fun. I had forgotten how much stars HURT so I'm glad it was small. I kept is nice and simple and fun. This was also my first time using the viva smoothing tech. and it turned out great!!!
another view. this was my first attempt at multi-colored fondant tiers. didn't quite turn out so i had to cover with brushed embroidery :) all in all, i'm pretty happy with the cake though. i think it's sweet. any constructive advice (especially in regard to how to cover a tier with 2 colors) is much appreciated. thanks for looking!
For my brother-in-law's birthday party. He is a huge Dio fan so I did the "logo" in color flow. Cake is chocolate cake with pudding filling covered in chocolate bc tinted black.
chocolate cake with pudding filling. i was really happy with the final result. this was a fun class and i really enjoyed the color flow technique. my favorite new trick!!!
White cake filled with vanilla pudding and fresh strawberries. I think I over filled it which is why the bottom layer is poofing out in the middle :) Oops. Covered in fondant and bc. Bassinet is fondant with a gum paste top. Baby and blanket are fondant (thanks again to stephi17).
I got this idea from stephi17. I loved the look of the baby and bassinet and, seeing as I have no creative bone in my body, I had to copy it. I'm not very artistic (strange that I enjoy cake decorating, I know) so I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. This was my first time trying to sculpt anything from fondant and gum paste. Thanks again stephi17
Those roses sure are harder than I thought! All in all, pretty good for my first time but my icing needed to be stiffer. This was also my first time using the parchment paper to smooth the bc and I love that technique. Thanks for looking, please feel free to give constructive advice if you see anything.
For some reason my icing keeps ending up whipped which is why it isn't as smooth as I know I can do. I'll play with it for next week. Also, this was my first attempt at making the side a different color from the top and that was interesting :) Any constructive advice is always welcome. I'm just learning so I can use the help!
This is my first attempt at a tiered cake for my sister's bridal shower. It's a 3 tiered square cake covered in ganache. Didn't turn out quite as smooth as I hoped but I was pretty happy with it.
This was my first attempt at fondant for a friend's baby shower. I stole the idea off of a baker website. It's a little busy now that I look back on it but all in all I was pretty happy with it for my first time.
