We did this for a bridal shower. My husband cut out a stencil for the logo, and we painted it on the purse, and then added all the details.
The bride saw this in a magazine, and wanted it for her wedding. I am not sure who to credit, although I think it's a wendy kromer. All the leaves and strawberries were sculpted by hand.
This one was a challenge....first of all, the humidity here in Ohio killed my fondant. Then, the bride wanted fall-colored gumpaste orchids. In the catalogue, they were orange, and she said it would be fine. In person, they were neon orange and yellow. When we got to the hall, I realized that the brides decor was all rust and golds...the flowers clashed. So my husband ran home, grabbed the gold luster dust and burgundy food coloring, and we painted them last minute before sticking them on the cake
pink toned flowers, silver and pink dragees in buttercream
Offset squares with diamond pattern and pearls and floral cascade in lavender
Fondant squares, monogram, satin ribbon, and flowers. The cake stand was a plant stand I found at Joann fabrics.
Another buttercream wedding cake. Unfortunately, my camera is going on the fritz, and did not take a nice pic (kinda dark), but it was a cute little wedding cake!
I was looking forward to doing this cake for the past 6 months. I really enjoyed this one!
I think it turned out ok, but I had to fight with the icing again (so humid out!!) Any tips on how to combat humidity and its effects on buttercream? I'd be grateful!
My husband and I collaborated on an idea for this cake for a musician. Hand-sculpted bas relief harps with gold luster, gold rope trim, piano keys are sculpted and airbrushed black along with the record. Red fondant drape and red roses (hid a huge boo-boo, and ended up a happy mistake). Fondant cut-outs of notes/guitar, etc.
The topper was hand-sculpted and airbrushed.
Groom's cake; my husband did this one. He didn't like how it turned out, but I really liked it.
This one was for my niece who just turned two. She had a lady bug themed birthday party, and also loves purses! (Hence, the lady bug's little purse). I looked at many ladybug cakes on this site, so thanks to all for the inspiration.
Ok, my husband deserves the credit on this one. I baked and applied the fondant, but he sculpted it, airbrushed it, and added the most amazing details and textures. I'm really proud of him (and the cake!). He's handy and pretty wonderful.
I feel really proud of this one...after my very unhappy buttercream experience this weekend, I was thrilled to put a fondant cake together. The rosary has piped Greek crosses, and the topper is a hand-painted with a Greek cross, and hand-sculpted roses. I just love girlie cakes, and I love that the mom picked lavender.
I am trying to get better at the buttercream, but I find it more impossible to work with than fondant! This one was a source of stress....it started bulging at the seams in transit, and I had to fix it the best I could at the reception site. I was hoping all the gumpaste flowers would distract the eye. I'd love some tips on buttercream icing!
I just did this little cake today for a very small luncheon wedding. The bride called me immediately after the reception while in the limo to tell me how much she loved it! YAY!!! I always feel happy when they are happy. She said the little kids ate all the edible pearls.
This was the biggest cake I've ever done for a wedding. It is a fondant cake with quilted pattern and pearls, lustered with pearl dust. When I got to the hall, it was still under construction, so we had to walk through mud to get the cakes inside. And then, they had forgotten to order flowers to fill in between!! (the cake was designed for flowers). However, they had a ton of silk flowers laying around that they weren't using, so I just took them and used to fill in the tiers.
This also goes with the treasure chest...hubby sculpted and painted the skull and the map.
This goes with the treasure chest cake....my husband sculpted from fondant and painted with luster dust and food coloring.
My husband and I collaborated on this one; everything is edible. Gold coins, edible pearls and dragees, chocolate shells, edible sand, and rock candy. This was in a 3 part cake series for a kid graduating from high school who loves pirate stuff. I'll upload the other cakes as well which have the same theme.
This is a sample cake for a bride who wanted to see what her wedding cake would look like (she paid for it, of course). It was a replica from a magazine that she liked.....I am happy with the results!
