Route 66 cake for a nice lady who turned 66! TFL!
Friend wanted an Angry Birds cake with room on the cake board for cupcakes and cookies. TFL!
I thought I posted this picture before. Cake I did for a friend with a fetish. TFL!
Client's daughter was having a drag show for her sweet 16 party. Both tiers are covered in purple fondant, but the flash makes the top tier look white.
Sister wanted a "retro", 70's, flower-power, star-studded cake for her birthday. This is what she received.
Held a surprise party for my mother. This is her cake. All fondant decor. The only things not edible are the butterflies and the fence. She loved it!
My little niece loves Survivor. She wanted her cake to have some logo of theirs on it. I quickly threw this together. Not the cleanest work, but not bad for a little throw together cake. Vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream and fondant and buttercream accents.
I always told myself that I wasn't good enough to do a wedding cake, but for my own brother, I thought I would give it a shot. His bride wanted red, black and white, with calla lilies. She left the rest up to me. The scroll work was inspired by my own Pfaltzgraff dinner dishes. Top tier is a spice cake with cream cheese filling and cream cheese buttercream covered in fondant. The bottom tier is my chocolate whiskey spice cake with chocolate cream filling and vanilla buttercream covered in fondant. TFL!!
Made this for a last minute office party. Fondant and buttercream accents. Fun to make. Wasn't happy about the cake settling, but everyone at the office thought it was a pretty cake.
For a friend who asked me on the 10th to make her a cake for delivery on the 11th. After having to make 3 cakes that wouldn't stick to the pan, even with the Cake Release, I finally got one to cool be ready for decorating around 10pm. FUN! I was so tired, I didn't know what to decorate it with. I'm not happy with this cake, but she was! I guess that's what matters...
A friend of mine wanted cupcakes at her wedding and her theme was fall/autumn. There are 3 types of cupcakes and mine were supposed to be chocolate with vines and leaves on them. All buttercream and the leaves have luster on them.
Made for a friend's daughter who was receiving horse riding lessons for her birthday. One cupcake per kid. Cupcakes were inspired by Hello Cupcake! book. Had fun making these!
Was asked to do this for an avid horror film fan for his birthday. Fondant covered and the "blood" is thickened colored piping gel. The cake is red butter cake torted with red vanilla pudding. It also has chocolate buttercream.
My friend picked out this ugly robot head for his birthday cake, so just to show that it didn't belong in the cake disasters folder, I took the picture of the cake along side of the picture he chose for the design. LOL All in all, I think it came out fine. It's all fondant with some buttercream accents and butterscotch eyes.
My friend wanted something similar to what I made for my mother for her birthday, so I came up with this. It was my chocolate chip cookie cake recipe with chocolate buttercream and fondant accents. I tried to make a black-eyed susan flower for her.
Chocolate cake with buttercream and fondant accents. Inspired by the design by Lindy Smith
This is my version of Debbie Brown's toadstool cake. My friend wanted butterflies and fairies with blues and purples and I had no idea what to do. I think my fairies look like they are on steroids.... LOL Oh, all fondant covered, chocolate bourbon cake with some buttercream accents.
My other little niece just said "ladybugs" for her cake and gave me no other instructions. This is what I came up with. Fondant covered. I had to use cupcakes to hide some imperfections. The centers are chocolate fondant and the leaves are buttercream.
My niece picked this one out of the Hello Cupcake! book for her birthday. It was a lot of fun to make.
I had no idea what to do for my roommate, but I know she loves Henna designs. I had some left over fondant and buttercream so I mixed the yellow and red fondants (a little too much) but I didn't get the effect I was looking for. I had some red butter cream that I was using on a different cake, but it actually blends really well with the fondant and you can't see it! Oh well. I hope she likes it. I don't think it came out to bad for a "throw-together" cake. Oh I should probably mention that the Arabic writing says "Happy Birthday Laura!"
My friend's little girl just overcame double pneumonia just in time for her birthday. She wanted a cherry cake with Black, Pink and Silver stars. This is what she got. I was a little disappointed about my pink luster on the bottom border though. They turned the pink balls red. My wire cutters were missing too, so I had to twist the wires to make them shorter. I think they are too much now. O well... lesson learned. :) Thanks for looking!
I had to make 3 mini-cakes for my best friend's kids. They all had different interests. They are all 6" torted cakes. Had fun putting them together!
This was my entry into a cake decorating contest in Glendale, AZ this past weekend. It's a real cake with fondant over buttercream and buttercream Mehndi designs. After rolling the fondant, my hands were so shaky and in pain that I had a really hard time with the piping, but I managed to get through it at the cost of my symetry, of course. I put my signature in Arabic on the sides in mirror-image.
My son picked this out of Debbie Brown's book. It was a lot harder to make than I thought it would be. I had a lot of obstacles. I didn't have any sugar glue, so I had to use buttercream to secure the feet and arms, hence the oozing on the sides. LOL My son loved it though.
I was asked by a friend to make some mini cakes for a birthday basket for her mother. She wanted pink and brown specifically. They are both white cakes with raspberry filling covered with fondant. The scrollwork was a thick buttercream. It was also my first time ever doing scrollwork.
Made this last minute cake for my sister's Xmas Eve party. I had about 10 minutes to decorate and get out the door......
