for frog baby shower...chocolate & white cake with whipped icing and edible mmf & gumpaste decorations
all is edible, aside from the WHEEL BASES of the engine & train car & the BATTERY inside thomas. all the decoration, the train track, the thomas engine & train car with miniatures (formed around the wheel bases & thomas' battery) are made of gumpaste & mmf. the base cake is chocolate covered in bc & mmf, and the mountain is tiramisu cake with mascarpone frosting "clouds". :)
cake and cereal treats covered in bc, mmf, and gumpaste. lantern is made with edible wafer paper.
carved cake body with cereal treats shaped into the tail, neck, & head. my husband cut a hole in the bottom of my cake board, where i fed plastic tubing through the board and cake, and shaped the neck & head around the tubing (which i then formed the nostrils around). we connected the other end of the tubing to a travel size dehumidifier that visible water vapor streamed from, & thus we had...a smoke breathing dragon cake. it is covered in over 1,600 hand cut green shimmer dusted "scales". wings, teeth, & claws are gumpaste. jewels are rock candy.
vanilla cake with mmf and gumpaste flowers and accents
the tower is vanilla cake and cereal treats covered in buttercream icing and mmf. flowers, Rapunzel, Pascal, and other decorations are gumpaste. the floating lanterns are made from edible paper, which i inserted lights into and attached to wire.
the gazebo has a cereal treats base and top covered in modeling chocolate, skewers covered in modeling chocolate, and is decorated in buttercream, fondant, and modeling chocolate. i added white modeling chocolate to the twilight ornament to create bella's wedding dress, and semi sweet modeling chocolate to create the braided updo. the tiny silver hair comb (in the back of her hair) is fondant with a rock candy blue sapphire.
chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, red velvet cake with whipped chocolate ganache filling, red velvet cake w/ vanilla buttercream filling, & white cake with raspberry cheesecake mousse filling (wanted to slide too much- had trouble with the top tier leaning). all are covered in buttercream & black fondant. apples are cereal treats (covered in fondant & painted w/ food coloring- yes, they have a stem against the black which cannot be seen well). ruffled tulip & petals are fondant (w/ food coloring paint job). the red ribbon and white swags are modeling chocolate, while the chess pieces are white chocolate (with pearl dust on the king piece). piping is royal icing.
The base cake is vanilla with vanilla buttercream icing, fondant road, & decorated with fondant cacti, fondant boulders, brown sugar sand, small chocolate rocks, & jelly bean rocks. The glowing blue "ghost light" lantern is made with fondant & homemade blue rock candy, with a mini LED light strand running through the cake & inserted into the lantern to make it really light up. Lightnening McQueen is chocolate cake i carved into his shape, frosted in vanilla buttercream, & covered in fondant (with a little pearl dust brushed onto the red fondant). The wheels are mini donuts, cut in half & covered in fondant. One of the boulders on the left side (the view of it is obstructed in this picture) has a voice box in it which we recorded Lightening's voice & engine revving on it. It says: "speed. i am speed. faster than fast. quicker than quick. i am Lightening.". This was my first car cake.
