The topper was sent to me by the groom o-O. I wanted the cake to be as elegant as possible wihthout loosing the 'Frankenstein' feel. I was happy with the Isomalt window. I have NO IDEA why the picture posts sideways...
First attempt at a box cake. Isomalt 'jewels'
My first shot at doing a box cake. The 'jewels' are isomalt.
White sponge with raspberry/white chocolate italian buttercream. Decorated in fondant and white chocolate
My first purse cake. There are supports on the handles because they hadn't dried before I had to transport it. Apparently the comments were that it looked "Quite Chanel"! It was fine until an older gentleman tried to pick it up by the handles because he wondered why someone left their purse on the dining room table ~sigh~ Oh well it got there in one piece, the customer loved it and then who cares what happens........
My son is a huge Liverpool FC fan. That griffin was a pain in the patootie to draw freehand.
The couple are ski instructors and in their 40's. They had requested "No flowers". Since the reception was in December and held in a ski lodge, I went with an ice theme. I had to transport the cake approx 50 miles (arrrrggghh!!!) and put it together at the lodge.
I received a request for a "Twilight" cake, so this is my attempt at replicating one of the books. Since it would have taken an insane amount of black colouring (couldn't find any readymade in my area), I painted the fondant black. Chocolate fudge cake with French buttercream filling.
This was for a fundraiser for a Walk for the Cure Team. The cake is white chocolate pound cake torted with whipped cream and summer berries (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry) filling. Marbled fondant and royal icing decoration. I was worried because I only had two days notice and luckily the ribbon didn't collapse!
The rose basket was made entirely of gum paste, including the bowl. The hand cookies are coated in marzipan. I painted the cookies (nail polish and engagement ring) with luster dust, used silver dragees for the 'diamonds' and pink sugar for the cuff. The other cookies on the tray are Amaretti.
These were for my future daughter-in-law's Bridal Shower. They are brownes cut in circles with whipped chocolate ganache rosettes and white chocolate triple heart decorations.
I made this for my niece's wedding. I marbled the fondant and then made gum paste "frames". My sister (an amazing artist) handpainted the flowers. There's a silk sunflower on the top. I had to deliver the cake the day before (a 70 mile round trip) and the restaurant didn't have room in the fridge! The owner put the cake in her office and cranked the air conditioning but it did slide a litle. Thank goodness I transported it separately and put it together at the venue.
These are my Grandson's two favourite things, Teddybears and Beach Balls! The Bear is decorated with buttercream using the triple string tip. It saved a lot of time. People at the party though it was a plush toy. The ball is a combination of buttercream and fondant. Our grandson tried to bounce it across the dining room. Talk about a 'smash' cake!
My niece's new husband is a rabid Leafs fan and this was my gift to him. The cake itself was blue. Decorated in fondant.
I made this for our first Grandchild. It's decorated in buttercream and fondant.
