White Chocolate Cake, Close-Up

Hi, I know this is a repeat, but my husband just finished downloading and saving all the pictures from today, and wanted to post this close-up of the wedding cake we did today! (plus, I admit, I'm a little proud of this one!! ...devilish grin!) :D

Kings Cake

It is supposed to mimmick a kings cake with a mardi gras theme...all fondant, and the actual kings cake is really normal cake made to look like it is real.

Portrait Cake

This was a freebie cake for a friend who wanted a portrait of her best friend when she was little. My husband painted it with food coloring on a fondant plaque. It came out so nice that it is almost a shame it is on something that eventually has to be tossed.

Swiss Meringue Flowers

This is my first attempt at creating flowers out of Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I'm really surprised at how well they held up. I froze them as soon as I piped them, and that seemed to be the trick. I thought for sure they'd lose shape. Anyway, not too happy with the pic; the shadows make the cake look smudgy, but it actually turned out smooth in person. Ok, rambling; thanks for looking!

Heart And Rose Cupcakes

These came out really pretty in person, but the photo does not do it justice :( :( The hearts are red tinted white chocolate melts, and before I put them in the mold, I dusted it with red luster dust to give it a gleam. I still need to work on my rose making, but overall, the colors do well considering they are chocolate raspberry flavored cupcakes..

Poetry Book

I don't know why, but this book cake looked so much nicer live than it does in the photo. Oh well!! The camera picks up all the bad angles!! :( I did all of the fondant work, my husband painted on the front cover. The librarian who was the recipient of it thought it was a real book and went to pick it up by hand and put it away!!

Olivia The Pig!

I had so much fun with this little piggy!!! It's Swiss Meringue Buttercream with fondant accents. My husband hand-painted the plaque...it is NOT an edible image!!

Mickey And Sons Valentine Cake

I just made this cake for a customer who wanted a Mickey for his wife, and two little MIckeys for his daughters. It took forever; there is at least 7 hours worth of work in this one!! We need to get faster. Hub did details on face.

Tiffany Box Cake

I did this cake for a student of mine; she wanted to surprise her mom with a tiffany box tiramisu cake. I've had this girl in class for 4 years, so went all out! The mom was very surprised and loved it, but complained because she wanted a real Tiffany's box!!

Tree Stump

We saw this kind of cake on this site done by Franmjc from Australia, and really loved it so much we decided to do it for a party planning expo at our local mall. My husband did most of the work on it, since he happens to have most of the sculping abilities! Anyway, this is his version. This is one that went on the news station this morning!

Box Of Chocolates Cake

This was fun to do! I especially loved eating the leftover pieces of choocolate that didn't fit into the cake. The lid is also cake.

Tiffany And Company

This is a dummy cake for a show we will be in this weekend. I used the Wilton fondant, and it always looks bad on styrofoam. (I can see every last wave and dimple!) Good thing I won't put it on a regular cake. Anyway, we created a stencil for the lettering and I painted it on the tag.

Muscle Car Cake

Frosted with Swiss Meringue Buttercream (my first try after my Wendy Kromer Class!) The car is bas-relief sculpted from fondant...hubby did it, of course. I think it came out pretty cool for a boy cake! :P

Barbie's Back Again!

This time, she is being used as a practical joke for one of my husband's colleagues at work. This guy thought it would be a hoot to get a Barbie cake for one of the women at the office. I hope it goes over well, but I tried to get it to be as obnoxiously pink as possible!!

Baby Shower Cake For Girl

I did this cake in the Wendy Kromer class I took; it's simple, but turned out really nice and smooth after following her advice!

Albino Pumpkin Cascade Wedding Cake

We did this one for a show. It actually is real cake covered in fondant; not a dummy. I did the p umpkins and my husband did the figurines out of sculpey. We wanted to show options different than the usual round or square cakes. The stems and leaves are all gilded in the 24 carat luster dust. Gumpaste tendrils.

Prima Ballerina

The lady ordered king kong for her son, and prima ballerina for her daughter. (birthday the same day) This is the 2nd one I've done of this cake, but it turned out nicer than the first. The little figurine was from the dollar store, believe it or not!!

King Kong 1

Just wanted to share a king kong cake we did today. My husband did the bas relief (the raised images) out of fondant, and airbrushed it. Cool, huh??!! I'm proud of him!! I'm sending two more angles!

Another Sample Cake

This was just a sample cake for another bride. The aunt of the bride owns a huge bridal store in the area, so I decided that I needed to get her a pretty sample cake; this can help with referrals. It's simple, but yummy!

Make-Up Bag

Mini Satin quilted makeup bag, fondant accessories. My fondant was really soft and not sculpting so well for the lipstick and nailpolish, but I am hoping she likes it anyway.

Calla And Vines

This is another sample cake I'm giving to a bride (I should say "bridezilla") She requested her samples fully decorated. I am going to have to start charging!! She gave me a picture similar to this, so here is the result. Let's hope she books after all this!!

Basic White Fondant With Gumpaste Vanilla Orchids

This cake is one I did for the bridal show in 2 weeks, to show what one can do with a simple, white fondant cake. I have about 4 variations of this cake (all the same cake, just decorated differently). This one has gumpaste vanilla orchids I purchased from Pfeil and holding. You can see the other variations on my website, if you'd like :) :) :)

Behemoth Wedding Cake

This is a display cake that I've been working on. It's huge (I think serving about 400). I just now finished the top and final tier now, but couldn't wait to post it! (It still has to dry, which is why it is slightly darker than the other bow, and I still have paper towels holding the bow in place). Anyway, this is going to the bridal show Jan. 15th.
