clubhouse cake and coordinating cupcakes
Batmobile Grooms Cake. Got a call about 2 hours ago from the mother of the groom. She LOVES it! Said the staff at the venue is in awe. he he I'm giddy. I love it when a cake goes well. Thanks for looking! Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Buttercream Filling, other than 3 support toothpicks, the entire cake is edible.
Carrot Cake and White Cake. Gumpaste Daisies. Piped top cake with pearl dusted daisies on the sides.
Sculpted Dog Cake. My favorite thing about him are his eyes. They turned out so real to me. The body.... ehhhhh... but those eyes.... ;) Wedding Planner said it was "perfect". That's all that matters. White Rum Soaked Cake with Cannoli Filling. Fur is Royal Icing that was airbrushed and dusted. Eyes are fondant that I painted on using brown and white.
It's a car. Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cup Filling.
Sweet Sixteen Party Favors for a Luau themed party.
Sometimes you gotta make a cake and NOT send it home with a customer! I made this for my Mother-in-law's 70th Birthday. Double Dark Chocolate Cake, Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Filling, Buttercream Icing, Poured Chocolate Gnache, and Fresh Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries. Garnished with some fresh mint and a few gumpaste flowers. I wish we had smellavision. This whole cake smells like a fresh chocolate covered strawberry. MMMMMMM Yummy!
Made to coordinate with the baby's bedroom and party decorations.
For a client. Announced the sex of her twin's with the color of the cake (inside).
All buttercream. Flowers added on site after delivery.
LOTS of gumpaste work on this cake. Almost everything is edible. The man is completely hand sculpted without any molds. Baby is a mold I made and then sculpted after pulling him from the mold. The mom is from a very special mold I acquired and then did a little sculpting to her after removing from the mold. Furniture bases are rice krispy treats.
Made for a client's son's Birthday. 2nd time making this style cake. The cap really frustrated me this time... oh well. She loved it. That's what counts.
Made for a client's wife's 30th Birthday. He e-mailed me after the fact to thank me and say it made her cry... Awwwww.... such a sweet guy to get his gal such a thoughtful Birthday gift. ;)
Made for a venue. The florist was adding yellow roses but I didn't get to see them on the cake. For a plain cake, I kinda like it.
Just a small part of a cake I'm working on for a retiring OB Gyn. I custom made a mold and then sculpted to create the effect I was going for. Overall... he took about 4 hours which is too long. But I like him so it was worth it. ;)
Made for my best client. She calls at the beginning of the year and gives me all her dates for the year. I'll bend over backward for her because she's so easy and fabulous. I'd love to have 10 more like her. :) Her mom's Birthday Cake. Banana Cake with my chocolate buttercream recipe. ( http://cakecentral.com/recipes/16291/perfect-crusting-chocolate-buttercream )It's piped with buttercream and decorated with gumpaste flowers.
My sister in law ordered this cake for a colleague who loves to travel to tropical places and loves her two pugs AND is celebrating her 30th Birthday. I wanted a design that was pretty aside from the very specific dogs on top so went with the "wavy" sides. I think I'm most pleased with how the palm tree turned out.
This is the 3rd cake I've done in this general design. I try NOT to replicate cakes so there are differences in each one but basically... they're all the same. lol Made for a Christening. The room at the Country Club was soooo pretty. It really matched perfectly.
Client is celebrating her daughters 18th Birthday and Graduation. She wanted a tropical themed cake with hibiscus flowers, shells, sand, waves, and offset tiers. So... that's what I did. :)
This is a very sentimental cake for my clients. It was purchased to celebrate their parents 50th Anniversary. Every year for their Anniversary, the Mister gives his wife a different flower for every year they've been married. So for the 1st Anniversary, 1 flower. For the 49th, a bouquet consisting of 49 different varieties of flowers. Pretty cool tradition. So to celebrate the 50th, the children asked me to recreate the tradition in cake. All gumpaste flowers. I made some, ordered some, painted some... you get the idea. LOVE how it turned out and my client was beside herself.
Waiting for the UPS guy to deliver my sugar flowers. He's a day late. Pick up is in 1.5 hours and am missing 40 of the 50 flowers for this cake. So... while the natural light was streaming through the front window, I decided to cut a rose from the bush out front and take advantage of the beautiful natural light. This is what happens when you take a last minute order that requires 50 different varieties of sugar flowers and your supplier HOLDS the order for days waiting for something that should have been sent directly to you. UGH! Can we say stress? Anyway... Used this photo for an article on natural light and photo editing on my blog.
