Last minute rush job. Other cake dropped to the floor. I took one of my daughter`s birthday toys and came up with this idea. The cake that fell was a tea pot and tea cups :-(
I used a chocolate mold for the cradle, you may find the mold at sugar (online store) craft. I used warm chocolate to glue the pieces together. I have also used royal icing instead of chocolate and gum paste ( tylose recipe). When not using chocolate allow enough time for the cradle/bed to dry....up to 3 to 5 days.
Large wilton`s wonder pan used for dress. Packed with rice krispie treats. Then added to an 8" x 3" round red velvet. The rise krispie treat cake had to be cut to fit onto the cake. Red velvet filled and crumb coated with white chocolate cream cheese butter cream. White chocolate clay, fondant and mexican paste/tylose paste used for accents/details. 14"x 3" base chocolate mud cake with vanilla buttercream.
Elmo is made from pound cake. Eyes, nose, arms and legs are rice treats. Butter cream with fondant accents. Made for my daughters 3rd Birthday.
I need a new airbrush!
Yellow butter cake with lemon curd filling and covered with butter cream . Hand modeled unicorn, mushrooms and flowers are made with mexican paste with some fondant accents.
I used the two oval pans for the cake. Yellow butter cake with butavan filling.Homemade White chocolate fondant. Canopy is made with mexican paste using tylose. To make the canopy mold/form I used cardboard covered with parchment paper and taped that to the oval pan. You need to let the canopy dry for at least 24 hours.
I put the wrong arms on this doll.....I fixed her, I named her Preggers and she is waiting for her love seat ;-)
I molded this horse to put on my daughters b-day cake, I took his back tail off to give his hair more curls. He is finished now.......... I just am at a lose as to how he is going to stand on his own legs. I did not make his front legs longer enough. I think I will let him lean on a small hill or rocks.
I made this for my sons 17th birthday. I made the controller out of rice krispy treats. The flaming skull was done with color flow.
I used a celstick/frilling tool to make the ruffle. I have also used a tooth pick to do this. I used cotton balls to make the ruffle wavy.
This was my very first teddy bear, I think I have improved greatly!
I would like to do this cake over again. I would make less steps. I think that 3 or 4 large steps would look a lot better. The second cake is always better, you learn from the first.
I made the pine cones by making a tear drop shapes and cutting that with a small pair of scissors. I used patch work cutters for the snow flakes. Boy, I have had a hard time using the patch work cutters. I have no problem embrossing, but when it comes to cutting the mexican paste (I read mexican paste works best) thats when I get a major headache!!! Mexican paste is similar to home made gum paste.
I made this for a young mans birthday ( he was turning 17). It is a american butter cake with chocolate ghanche. I used two 7 oz hersey candy bars with 1 cup of sour cream and confect sugar to make the ganache. The skull is made from color flow. I was so rushed for the skull to dry that I had the heat lamp way too close, but my kids liked the look :-).
