I was trying out some ways in which to photograph my cakes. Had frosting left over and I just had to try the petal technique. This is just a butter cake with BC frosting.
Congratulations to Arnita and hubby to be, called me a week ago with the design of this cake. Recovering from the flu, I started to say no, but my heart wouldn't let me. It rained today with a lot of humidity, I hope it holds up. Fondant cover cake wires (won't attempt this again) with fondant roses. Butter Cream cake with fresh strawberry filling on 2 of the tier. Pretty design Arnita! TFL
I love my niece, she came up with this idea for her 30th Birthday. I hope she has a Blast with her cake tonight. I'm still not feeling the gummy worms, Yuckola! (LOL). Cake done in chocolate BC with oreo cookie dirt, fondant flowers and shoe, TFl.
I worked with my sister Lisa today. She made Red Velvet cupcakes with the Best Tasting Cream Cheese Frosting . She also made yellow cupcakes with whip cream frosting and Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting on Chocolate cupcake, she made everything from scratch, man it was soooo good and moist. This time I was her helper, piped 250 cupcakes using tips 1m and 4B. This my first time decorating this amount of cupcakes. I also volunteered to make 200 MMF purple blossoms for the cupcakes. It was a lot of fun working with my baby sister, she did an absolutely great job, so proud of her. TFL
I have been wanting to make an orchid for such a long time. So I used some leftover gum paste, a plastic orchid veiner and a clematis cutter and veiner. Next time, I have to try another one using the correct colors. This was a great learning experience. TFL
Happy Mother's Day to everyone! If you have shared, cared or made cakes for other, well then you are a Mom! First time making these gum paste flowers. My older sister called long distance and asked if I could do the "Elf Thing" and make a cake for my Aunt. She actually wears shoes like these (she is 80+) If I wore shoes like this, you better call the paramedics (LOL)
My older sister asked me to make this cake for the family of a dear family friend who passed away. The daughter called thanking my sister and I for the cake. This is a BC cake with BC Flavored fondant used for drape and calla stems. Flowers, letters and bow made from gum paste mixed with Wilton fondant, painted with chalk pastels and luster dusted. TFL
Lauren and I designed this year's cake. As usual we did over kill (LOL). The fondant started sliding on top cake from the weight of the flowers, stuff and from the humidity from my DH cooking dinner for us. I couldn't get mad. Lauren loved her cake.Dinner was wonderful. Oh yeah, learned a big lesson, never put top borders on fondant cakes unless they are small or thin. I wondered for years why fondant cakes didn't have top borders. TFL
First time making gum paste/fondant high heel shoe, wine bottle,glasses and Anemone flowers. TFL
I'm trying to learn how to make this type of cake. Back to the drawing board and will try a smaller version. Top tier - strawberry filling with BC and BC Flavored MMF, and bottom tier chocolate sour cream cake with BC and Choc. BC Flavored MMF,
My 1st attempt at making a cake dummy display almost 4 years ago. Stargazer flowers and flowers on centerpiece (actually light up) were leftover from other cakes- commercially made. RI flowers with fondant decorations.Thanks For Looking
This was my first attempt at making this type of cake. I learned a lot. Had a lot of problems with the black fondant made from Chocolate MMF. The fondant looked liked distressed leather. The post are made from pretzel rods cover in chocolate MMF mixed with chocolate modeling clay, they were anchored in Wilton plastic dowels with RI. Everything was edible except the wrestling figures and accessories (LOL) . Happy Birthday Marquis! TFL
My hat off to everyone who do the quilting technique on a regular basis. Quilting is HARD! This is my first time quilting the whole cake. My first time using Duff''s cake wires. I love those things! I was asked last night to do this cake for today, to surprise a young lady to cheer her up for her birthday. Thanks to Fantasy Cakes.com.au. TFL
It was a honor to make this cake for a special lady for her 91st birthday! 1st time making a Bettercreme cake with fondant decorations. The clothes on doll pick are fondant. The flowers are gumpaste. TFL
I made this cake for a group of friends "Lady's Day", had not had a fondant cake in awhile, so I tried to duplicate my sister's wedding dress, using some fondant molds that I had made sometime ago. Thanks to PATTICAKESNC wonderful recipe Twinkie Filling 2, absolutely wonderful with the sour cream choc. cake 2nd tier. Special thanks to DMJ69 - Buttercream Flavored MMF , Ooooh Yummo. TFL
First time making carnations, especially out gumpaste I made with gumtex. Also, 1st time using an airbrush along with a can propellant, I think I'm hooked. I only used it to spray a pearl shine on the flowers. Jewelry made from fondant. Roses - some are fondant, some made from the GP. Tweety is rice paper with edible markers. BC with fondant decorations. TFL tfL
My baby sister Lisa (Vern) and 4 other friends endured one of my cake decorating classes some years ago. It was pretty intensive. Most of them dropped out like flies. I felt like a failure as a teacher until she sent me this picture to show me just how much she learned. I'm so proud of her. My sister is too chicken to join CC. I'm still working her to come aboard. TFL
My grand niece 1st Birthday party. My husband a school teacher, came up with the ideal of, after the cake is gone, the cake will have an additional present of a book. He bought the book so Alaya's Mom will teach her how to read. Fondant leaf tiara. 1st try at a FBCT. I need more practice before attempting again(LOL)!
Mask and the number 50 made from fondant RI. BC yellow cake with strawberry filling.
Stenciled BC Wedding cake with gum paste cream-white and blue roses. TFL
I tried Duff fondant for the 1st time for ribbon and acrylic stamp them. Impressed with the product. First time BC stenciling. Flowers made of fondant. It was hard working in red. Made the cake topper. This was for a bride who had someone bail out getting her wedding cake at the last minute, my dear sister Helen and her daughter called me to do the cake for them so that this would be a wedding present to the bride. They told me to do what ever I wanted. So today she was surprised with cake. Helen and Alicia are simply the best.
Thanks to jaklotz1 for the ideal for this transformers cake. Also, a another big thanks to Erin31 for the flame stencil. Had a blast spraying this on. For those who don't have an airbrush, this can be achieved with the Wilton Color Mist Spray. Josh wanted a BC yellow cake with strawberry filling. The Mask was ordered from a online cake supplier, they just came out with them. Thanks For Looking! Hammy
Cake for my baby brother who turns 50. Remember large collar, bright colored shirts we wore in the 70's, we thought this looked so cooool (LOL). Fondant cake with one side butter cake with BC frosting, the other side is chocolate with chocolate BC . TFL,
A traditionally decorated cake. Old method from Wilton to make ruffle bowl using fondant instead of gumpaste. Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting top tier, bottom tier yellow cake with cream chesse filling and BC. Decorations are made from fondant, because of rain and humidity, had to use RI on back of hearts. TFL
It's hard to enjoy your wedding when you are tired, but to do again, I wouldn't change a thing about the day, it was Great. TFL
