Triple fudge choc cake with oreo b/c filling. Buttercream frosting with gumpaste decor. I hope bows don't go the way leg warmers and side poneytails did!
Variation of candy cake with the Christmasy chocolate covered cherries on top. Delicious--when you bit into them the cream from the candy ooozes onto the chocolate cake that had a chocolate & cherry filling.
Love this little cake that goes together so fast, looks adorable, and always gets rave reviews! This was for hubby's office. Big red cake with creme brulee' b/c icing with crushed peppermints and sugar sprinkles on top..
Little girl's birthday cake. She shows palominos.... All buttercream with fondant harness and ribbon.
Inspired by another baker on CC! Buttercream except for fondant black stripes and initial. Fun (and quick!) cake. Just happened to have the cute Mary Engelbreit cake stand....
Little baby shower cake--thanks to someone on CC for inspiration! This cake is bc except for collar, yoke & bow. Creme breulee cake and frosting. Yum.
Not your usual grandmother's birthday cake! However, I've had a fairy godmother/angel watching over me this year--so it's a statement cake! Cake is 2 9" layers with sportsball head. Creme Broulee with apple cinnamon filling. Frosted in buttercream. Sleeves have RI flowers. Pink ribbon, ruffly socks, wings and face features are all fondant. Shoes were the Wilton silly feet stand covered with fondant to make the little Mary Janes. Thanks for looking at this special little lady. She was fun to make.
Monsters are fun! This was for a 5-year-olds b-day. New craze: photos from Oriental Trading for inspiration. Cake body was 2 9" layers with sugar cookie inbetween; head was top of giant cupcake. Flavor was Lorann bubble-gum, which kids and adults alike LOVED! Buttercream frosting with fondant accents.
This is certainly a death-by-chocolate cake! Cake was triple fudge, fudge filling with chocolate chip/walnut cookie filling. Lined iwth 3 packages of Kit Kat bars and a 9.4 oz pkg of M&Ms. Folks in my DH's office loved it! Thanks to whomever on CC created this little dandy. It's a breeze to put together!!!!!
Gee, men's birthday cakes are hard! Didn't want anything flowery. Bottom layher is root beer cake with root beer bc filling; top layer white cream cake with chocolate chip filling; all covered in bc. Bow, letters and numbers are fondant.
Inspired from Wilton yearbook... All layers covered in b/c with fondant dos and bow. Top layer was for grandkids: bubble gum. Other layers were strawberry and lemon. EVERYONE loved the bubble gum best! Sure surprised me!
Party cake--only my drizzle drizzled a little too much! The bumps are chocolate chips, but my friends thought they were cut polka dots! The cake was Scrumptious Strawberry Cake (and it really was!) with b/c icing fondant roses and leaves. Love these roses! Will probably never sit and make the gumpast 20-minute roses again!
This was my anniversary cake. Amaretto cake with pistachio filling. B/C frosting with amaretto. Fondant hearts & bow.
Lemon two-layer cake (torted) with lemoncello (sp?) b/c icing. Fondant zebra stripes & bow. Saw this on CC, but don't have name of decorator to thank! It made a very bright, happy birthday cake!
This was actually a 50th b-day cake. German chocolate cake filled with coconut pecan icing, covered in chocolate. Cake was four layers. Bow was painted with bronze luster dust.
Little pink purse/bag cake to match party decor and favors. Four strawberry layers with pistachio filling covered in strawberry flavored bc. Handles and dots are fondant. And I gotta hand it to you cake sculpturers! I ended up cutting away more cake than I had left! What a pain! And this was such a simple little design!!! But my 9-year-old granddaughter thought it was just fabulous, so it made it all worthwhile!
Used a couple of CC ideas on this one! Tinted and flavored b/c icing with lime koolaid (yum!) and made a sugar cookie filling layer. Lots of fun for a 9-year-olds birthday party. And the cookie middle was a big hit!
OK, buy me books & send me to school.... I thoroughly studied the tutorial here on CC--but there's nothing like trying the real thing! (Actually, this picture looks "rougher" than the hat actually turned out! ) Lesson learned: Make sure the brim of the hat you're using as a mold is perfectly flat! Mine had a funky dip in the front and TWO rims broke. I used mixture of fondant and gumpaste for the rim. Cake was Texas A&M maroon color to match the cakeboard. Was a pretty big hit with my SIL.
Chocolate fudge cake with choc/pecan filling, chocolate buttercream frosting and fondant/gumpaste sunflowers, bows and RI handle. Bows are painted with pearl dust. Lettering on cake plateau is tappits.
Friend wanted baseball with "retro:" lettering for her son's first birthday! Cake was red and white swirl (whie cake) inside, red filling. Buttercream icing. Letters are RI. Also made matching "smasher" cake for baby.
Was so excited about making the cake from the 2005 YB! Took three days to bake cookies, decorate Dracula & bats. Put them safely in a dish away in the oven (I have too many Halloween decorations in the kitchen!). Forgot. Baked another cake and preheated the oven. Have you ever seen a baked Dracula? His fangs had turned brown! Oh well. DH went to Michaels for Gumpaste. Came home with wrong stuff. Went back. They were out. Bought fondant and I spent the night making curliques!
Inspired by the 1997 Wilton YB cover! Royal icing pansies, violets & leaves. At last minute decided to paint the insides of the flowers--and it really added depth and brought them to life! Cake is two-layer triple fudge mudslide with dark chocolate b/c icing. Made for a United Way bake sale at work.
8" square, 2-layer (torted) triple fudge cake with raspberry filling. Chocolate b/c frosting with gumpaste bow & decor.
8" and 10" cakes covered in bc. (Color of icing was for ethnic shower.) Arms, feet, cheeks & ears are fondant. Combined hobby of embroidering with cake decor & made a real bib that mom could save and use! The cake board also had "Jackson" over and over. Mom-to-be saved it all (including arms & feet????)!
Two-layer 9" petal pans and 4" cake on top. Cake is b/c, as are baskets/pots. Flowers are fondant on 22 guage wire (prob with wire cutting thru fondant supporting them.) Also prob sticking flowers to wire! YB said to use melted candy melts. Sorta worked! My DH had to take this to his office--bless his heart!!! Cake was mandarin orange with pistachio pudding filling. As a beginner, this project almost made me throw in the towel! I think I got a little over confident, but it turned out pretty cute.
Six cakes!! Three 9x13 on base, and 2.5 8" rounds for top. Buttercream with fondant decor. (Fondant for the wood would have been perhaps better, but I do not like fondant except, of course, for decorative accents). The cakes were "Rainbowlicious" and the kids went crazy! Thanks to this site for all the inspiration!
