I've been working on this display cake for my cake studio since I needed more buttercream examples, and have been wanting to do a tall tiered hydrangea cake (I love these flowers). I had a really hard time smoothing the royal icing onto the styrofoam....any advice on doing better for next display cake iced in royal would be received graciously!!
This cake is two toned purple and white fondant with brush embroidery butterflies and flowers and a dark purple ribbon.
Here's a better pic of the cafe cake I posted in the forum. My husband adjusted the lighting on it so you can see it better. The sculptures are gumpaste, and the fondant plaque was painted by my hubbie.
This is just a little mini cake I wanted to experiment with. Fondant with royal scrolls and edible pearls. The stand was found at Michaels, and I think it was supposed to be a candle stand, but loooks like a mini cake stand.
We decided to do a funny cake of a mouse eating a cake, complete with crumbs and "chocolate sprinkles". The mouse is sculpted out of marshmallow fondant. Ill post the front.
This is my first attempt at a buttercream wedding cake. (I usually like to work with fondant) I used an impression mat to make the lace on the buttercream. I found the spray roses at Sam's Club for 12.00. This is a little practice one, but I think the roses make the cake.
This cake was for an engagement party for friends. The flower spray was my first attempt at gumpaste. The ring box is fondant except for the ring which I sculpted and dried out of gumpaste and silver dragees. The lettering is gold luster dust stencil. The cake was a 4 layer vanilla with white chocolate ganache and real strawberry preserves.
I did this small wedding cake just for experience..I got the lovebird idea from a website that I admire, but added a few different elements that personalize it. My husband calls it the "Birdy Cake". It was very simple and easy, but with a good result.
My neighbor wanted a ballerina cake for her granddaughter. I found these cute little figurines at the dollar store and used them as inspiration for the color scheme. The fondant is homemade, with a simple marble/chocolate buttercream filling. This is the time I'll be getting paid for doing a cake! YAY!!
This is the first big wedding cake I've done, and ironically, it was for my own wedding. (I don't work over the summer.....that is how I found time to do it). My wedding theme was daisies and color scheme was a pale yellow with pale blue. I have alot to learn still about cake design and construction, but the guests enjoyed eating it, so mission accomplished!
This is the 2nd big cake I've tried....it was fun, especially making the little cartoon fish! The sand was really yummy too...vanilla wafers crushed with brown and white sugar. The turrets were caramels. I am still pretty new at this, but enjoying all the creativity!
These mini peach cakes taste just as great as they look, are assembled using a shortbread cake, filled with french buttercream and almonds for the "pit" inside, sealed with dark chocolate, dipped in peach schnapps, and rolled in peach gelatine sugar crystals which give a peach color and flavor, and adorned with a leaf. I made them for my wedding last week, and people were raving. If you want the recipe, leave me your email address, and I will get it to you as soon as I am back from my honeymoon next week!
