Strawberry Lemon with Cheesecake frosting. My daughter loves this particular character in the cartoon series. Toph is blind and can "bend" rocks. We found a picture of her online making a snow angel except in the rock. I thought it would be fun to do, and wouldn't require a wire frame for the character. The rock candy really helped us pull off the look for the cake.
Frog & Toad sculpted centerpiece w/ fruit trays. Our elementary school has put a ban on cakes and baked goods due to allergies and obesity worries. We did this to prove that even fruit trays can be made to look fun and appealing. 1st grade play afterparty: Frog & Toad
Baby Shower Cake - Tiramisu cake sleeved in white chocolate with painted fondant decorations.
The little pie slices are made out of caramels. Buttercreme frosting on pumpkin spice cupcakes.
I experimented with a white chocolate frosting and a paper texture technique to give this cake a little more pizazz. The mango flavored orange fondant goldfish were brushed with gold luster dust and were awesome! The only thing I would go back and change would be the lettering. Gotta find a way to do that better. Pina-colada cake - (macsmom recipe) with a light lime filling - tasted heavenly!
The corsage is for the cutting cake and the box of rosebuds and mini carnations are for cupcake toppers.
Sugar Ghost cupcake toppers. I've been waiting forever to post this picture. One of the food editors at Taste of Home requested that we submit it after showing her how easy it was to make them. They ended up in this months Oct/Nov issue. So now I can share them. They are very easy, my children enjoy making them this time of year!
This was just the top tier for a 50th wedding anniversary. It was fun to do the gilt edged roses.
Not a whole lot to say really, other than that I forgot to take a picture of the matching smash cake that had the peacock and zoo entrance sign on it. :( I would have preferred a more vibrant color pallette, but I was specifically asked to do "pastel".
Yellow Cream Cupcakes with Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream as a base. Orange and mango fondant flowers, fondant caps, diploma's, and ivy. The blue orchids were my first attempts with a new cutter set. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. Sapphire and Aztec gold lustre dust helped bring out the flowers a lot. This cake was for a friend who recieved her Master's degree.
Not much to say really, other than I need to learn to take photos without the crockpot in the background.
I was trying to push myself and make dandelions, The white blow away variety. I don't really think that I succeeded, but it turned out interesting anyways.
We all laugh in class, because I am incapable of following any set of directions exactly. There were raised eyebrows with my "demon bird colors" for the color flow lesson, but by the time it all came together at the end it worked nicely. We ate the cake after class. Chocolate orange cake with chocolate buttercreme and poured ganache on top.
This was a very easy cake. It did end up with more icing than I particularly care for on the slices of cake that had the lei, but the children at the party weren't complaining.
MMF figures
The first grade play did stories from Frog & Toad. I modeled the figures from MMF and baked green sugar cookies for the lily pads.
My largest wedding cake yet. 300 cupcakes and 100 servings of strawberry cheesecake. Each cupcake had either a fondant rosebud, fondant spiral or hand cut fondant polka dot confetti on it. The brides directives were "pink, non-traditional, and fun".
Made for a little girls birthday. A lot of firsts for me. My first carved cake, first use of candy clay, modeling chocolate, and marzipan. Also the first cake I'm uploading to this site!
