This took us literally hours to work on, but we were happy with the results.....the client saw it in a wilton book, but we thought it would look better all in fondant.
I thought this one came out really pretty, but the roses ennded up getting smashed, and then when we dropped off the cake, the client put it in his very hot van without the air on. I can't imagine what will become of it! It had chocolate mousse filling!
with orange fondant gerbera daisies and white cutout lettering
Just a sheetcake with a fondant fish sculpture.
I did this cake with one day's notice, the same day I found out that I'm pregnant and still with one other cake due and having to work all day at my teaching job. I think that is why I'm disappointed in it. I was pretty tired when I finished. Also, I do not like the arrangement of the roses at the top of the cake, nor the "for better or for worse" lettering, but the bride wanted it that way. Who am I to refuse? Oh well, I hope they liked it!!
This was for a themed teacher's luncheon.
This one nearly killed me. I fought with it until 1:30 am. The engineering was tough. It was hard putting a bigger cake on top of a smaller cake, and I nearly butchered it when carving it. Then the cake layers started sliding around when I put the fondant on (I had 3 layers of filling). It was oozing out at the bottom. Because this one was special (for a former student's 1 year old daughter), I just kept praying that it turn out ok...I think it did!
my 1st 1st communion cake!! I just wanted it simple and not too feminine. This was also my first time on the sugarpaste letter cutters from England...it took a while, but I figured out finally how to use them!! My husband hand-painted the praying hands.
Chocolate fondant, stenciled logo..requested by a friend throwing a surprise party for her friend. They really liked it!!
I was not thrilled with this one...the chocolate cake kept pulling off when I frosted it. These numbers are killers to try to frost and smooth! This is for a first time customer! I pray she is ok with it!
This was for a wedding shower....just very traditional and simple, but it was enormous. It WAS 5 inches high and 16 inch square. The bride wanted spring colors, so I did a ribbon rose bouquet. At 2 am, didn't know quite else what to do...I was running shy on ideas. Anyway, she loved the cake...had strawberry white chocolate cream cheese filling...said it was a huge hit.
This cake was a tough one...had to rebake the layers. My first square wedding cake, and didn't realize that for such large squares I ought to have used a core. Thanks to the people on this site and their advice, the layers bakes beautifully and evenly. Marshmallow fondant, gumpaste callas, and plastic grapes provided by the groom. I would have done without the plastic grapes, but not my choice!
My sister wanted me to do this cake for her best friend's baby shower. She found a cake she liked on-line and sent me the pic. I do not know who to credit for this one, but thanks for the inspiration! I actually did it all in fondant, although the original was a buttercream. All the flowers are sculpted fondant, and I hand sculpted the baby and insects too. I have about 15 hours worth of work into this cake, but it was so much fun, minus the stiff neck from looking down!!
This one is for a friend of mine...her mom ordered it for her, but I wanted it to be incredible...she loves fairies and angels! Her mom wanted pink tones, so we went pink on the mushrooms and gumpaste flowers, but the cake needed some red lady bugs too. My husband sculpted the fairy from his imagination, and her wings are rice paper. I checked out about 100 fairy cakes before I made this one, so I don't know who to credit, but thanks everyone for the inspiration!
Well, I've been getting a huge influx of orders for these. I had a bad camera angle on this one; it appears that the sizes of the cakes are disproportionate, but the cake actually really looked nice all together. In fact, when the bride to be saw it, she told me she was going to cancel with her current baker and book with me! Yay!!
With This one I formed emotional attachments...how can you not love a wet bear? This is the 2nd one I've done like this..I took inspiration from a combination of other photos I found on this site, but it was so long ago, I can't remember! It is a bigger cake than I anticipated!
Just a pretty little birthday cake for a little girl....this one was so relaxing to do after a stressful weekend!!
This one doesn't look nearly as pretty in the picture as it did in person...:(. It was for a baby named Laci...hence the lace!
I actually thought these came out better than the cake....the guns are little royal icing transfers in front of marshmallow fondant black stars. We sold them at the concession stand, and the people were buying them up like crazy! Fun project!
This was for our high school production (that I directed :D ) ...the play was called "My Gun is Pink". The gun is out of MMF....I did not like at all how it looks. To me, it seemed rough, but the kids thought it was cool. I also did pink cupcakes to go along with it.
My husband and I worked on this one together....we wanted something that would look like a wooden toy train and did not want another Thomas the train replica (although we like Thomas). Pretty happy with the results!
I am starting to love doing buttercream cakes! The littel girl didn't want a theme...just a pink and yellow cake, one layer! The roses are MMF (which is wonderful to sculpt).
Just a buttercream, lots of sprinkles with a hand-painted picture of Curious George in outerspace. It's for my step-nephew. It's not my best, but I am hoping he just loves it! His name is George, after all!
I putting this one in Mother's Day, although it's a birthday cake for my aunt who is turning 85. What mother or grandmother wou ldn't love some morning glories on her cake!! These are piped with royal. I also used royal lace points and royal bows. Everything else is buttercream. I know they aren't as impressive as the fondant cakes, but they are so relaxing and nice to do!!
