Haven't had too much experience, but wanted to give this a shot for a Mardi Gras cake. After the third time, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Melissa
This little cake was just for the Mom. White cake, with Satin Ice fondant, gumpaste carriage, brown satin ribbons. She said she wanted something "little and sweet" and I really thought it turned out well. This was the first gumpaste decoration that I did freehand.
This was the most fun to make! Wanted to try my hand at making the mask out of gumpaste and was pleased with how it turned out. Also used pearl dust and loved that too! When I delivered the cake, she was thrilled and so was I. Many thanks for all the ideas and inspiration here! Also made cookies to go along, masks and crowns. Melissa
Kind of a twist of the Nutter Butter Cookies that I've seen. Had some dough leftover yesterday so thought I'd make a few. Melissa
Lemon cake, alternating lemon and buttercream filings. Satin Ice with fondant/gumpaste decorations. This cake just about put me over the edge, still having some issues with getting the layers even and straight. This was made with a ton of love for my Granddaughter's 10th birthday. Special to me because it marks my 10 yr. anniversary for being a cancer survivor. All in all pretty happy with it and I know she will love it-that's what counts. Melissa
This went along with the Ivory Satin Ice cake just posted. The bride's daughter was so excited about the wedding (she's 3) so I made her a little cake. Chocolate Satin Ice, fondant ribbon with beads on wires. Melissa
My 1st wedding cake. Ivory Satin Ice/white cake with strawberry. Satin bows and silk flowers with beads on wires. I was soooooo stressed with this cake, wasn't too happy with how the layers turned out- lots of room for improvement. Also made a small cake for the brides daughter. Used the SPS system- loved that part! Melissa
NFSC with R/B. I used a dot impression mat for the center of the sunflowers and a gumpaste tool fror the petals. These were made for a retirement party. Felt very rushed on these, only three days notice to do 40. Melissa
NFSC again with R/B, fondant sailboats. Had to find a way to make them with the sailboats for a little girl. II ended up using one of my heart cookie cutters with the flutted edge and liked how the neck and leg edges turned out. I loved that these were ordered for a shower honoring a first-time Grandma. Melissa
NFSC with R/B, chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting, fondant hearts. These were done for a bridal shower today. I was pleased with how they turned out. I'm not sure how they set this up at the shower, I just took a quick pic at home before I delivered them. Melissa:)
NFSC with R/B. Second time using an impression mat on my cookies. These are for a upcoming Bridal shower this weekend. Melissa
Choc. cake with white buttercream, fondant/gumpaste shoes (thanks for CC's help & inspiration). This was really fun for me, tested my skills as a new cake decorator. Cupcakes to go along. Made as a gift for a family friend's baby shower today. Melissa
My Granddaughter, Laura decorated these cookies; she is 9 yrs. old. She likes to learn and help me out! She loves dogs and cats. Melissa
Chocolate Cupcakes with chocolate fondant. Made for a baby shower to match the shower theme. Also did cookies to match. This is my first stab at making these type of cupcakes with the fondant. Melissa
NFSC with R/B. Made for a shower this weekend. Colors were chosen by the gal giving the shower to match napkins that were made. Also did cupcakes to match. Thanks for looking! Melissa
First-- thanks to Stellastarchild & McMama for the inspiration, I fell in love with their shoes! I worked on these so hard, in fact, I remade them 4 times! I did make them smaller, as they are going on a small personal cake for a good friend's baby shower in Aug. I had trouble with the laces, so decided to use sheer polka dot ribbon. A real labor of love but I sure did learn a lot from these little shoes. Thanks too to everyone here for their tips on using gumpaste/fondant. Melissa
NFSC with RB. Made these for my best friend! She loves plants and cats! I wouldn't normally put cookies in a planter-but they looked so cute. Happen to find the teapot planter earlier this year for her and just took the idea from there. Melissa
This was made for a get well gift for a little 6 yr. old. I hope she enjoys it! Can't go into details here, but she's been through an awful lot. NFSC with R/B. Found the cute sand toy and thought it worked well. Melissa
Here is another picture with the cupcake tower and the arrangement I made for the anniversary couple. White/chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting, buttercream flowers.
NFSC with R/B. Made for an anniversary luau yesterday. I loved making these, so colorful and fun. I got tons of interest for future cookie orders. Melissa
NFSC with R/B. One cookie was a pink cookie cake and the other cookie was a shamrock, the bride wanted the cookies tied together. She wanted to surprise her husband with the shamrock cookie, who is Irish. Tons of work, but I was proud of how they turned out. I made 160 of these, the white cookie was just a little favor for the bride to keep.
Sorry-- posted too quickly before I could comment! These went with the shamrocks for a wedding. I just posted both cookies together.
NFSC with RB. These were made for a good friend, who orders from me often. She lost her twins at 6 mos. and is having a memorial service this Sat. I just did these for her because I thought she would enjoy them. Melissa
NFSC with RI. Made these for a friends mom for Mother's Day. She loves frogs-- hope she enjoys these! Thanks for looking! Melissa
This was a labor of love! Tons of problems from start to finish, but worth it. This is for my Grandaughter's 4th birthday today. I learned so much from this experience!!!!! The middle of the cake fell yesterday so I split the layer in half and just tried to finish the best that I could. Oh well, I know she will love it anyway. Melissa
I did these for favors for a Relay For Life Tea this Sat. The theme for my table is pink and white brown with polka dots . I would like to give credit for where I saw these but I don't remember. These are NFSC with RB. to make the hump on the hat I used one vanilla wafer. Thanks!
