Planned on working on this a bit more before the "big day" but ran out of time (i.e. there are no markings on the tap measure, wanted to make a screw driver, put some logo on the tape measure, etc.... "Duct tape" is on there though, LOL). Buttercream icing with MMF accents. The hammer-thing is actually a gift card to Lowes I put on it.
My mom - who isn't a cake fanatic like I am sure everyone who is on this website it - signed up to bring a cake to our church's annual strawberry festival. (She planned on making a 9x13, canned frosting and leaving it in the pan to serve.) YUCK! I hate that!! SO I took it upon myself to make a strawberry cake to be proud to serve. Strawberry-flavored cake with BC icing.
Made this for a co-worker's child's preschool graduation. Their color was SILVER! (How cool is that?!) So I had to try out my new luster dust on it. I love it!
Cookies for my neighbor's graduation.... I made 7 dozen of these, I charged $50... do you think I should have charged more? Less? This was my first time making cookies to sell, first time using this cookie recipe and the first time I have used royal icing. - I don't really like the outline of the cookies, I am going to try to make them without one next time. THESE TOOK ME FOREVER... at least 8+ hours from start to finish. Hopefully it will get faster with practice!!!!
This is the other side to my cake... the one that shows the cell phone. (RWhich actually is cake inside too!
I have looked at everyone else's WONDERFUL purse cakes and HAD TO make one myself! This was the first time I sculpted a cake and the first time I have used MMF! I love working with it!
Chocolate buttercream with buttercream accents
Some of the guys at work requested a Spiderman 3 cake. Buttercream iced.
I didn't have anything to do before work today so I decided to make this cake to bring in. White cake with buttercream.
I made this for my friend's birthday. I incorporated a bunch of things she likes and made them into patches "sewn or ironed" onto this cake. Everything is done in Buttercream.
I had a tough time deciding which category to put this in. Technically it is a retirement cake but the last retirement cake I made, was not viewed much so I am taking a chance with putting it in here. I guess it can be used if a father/husband/brother, etc. in your life is a cop. Buttercream icing, chocolate and white checkerboard cake.
Since a box of cake mix makes 24 cupcakes and I only made 12, I made this one layer cake to go with my monkey cupcakes... I guess the "momma monkey". Haha.
I found this idea online when I did a "Curious George" search for another cake. They are super simple to do and take no time!
I was requested to make a retirement cake for two police investigators... one of which was a fire investigator and the other, they call a monkey (yeah, must be some inside joke there.) Anyways, this was my idea... having Curious George with a match which caught the sides of the cake on fire. :)
This is my first "bigger" cake. Prior to this, I only had done 9 inch cakes. The bottom is 12 inch and the top is 9 inch. PLUS, it's my first real tiered cake (compete with wooden dowel supports). It took me way longer than I expected but I think it turned out nice. Bottom layer is chocolate fudge cake with chocolate buttercream and the top is white cake with buttercream icing.
After completing my pink Juicy Couture cake (including the logo with the 2 dogs), I decided to try out another one of their designs... the Princess with the crown logo. I had so much fun doing both these trendy cakes!
I love wild, bold colors on a cake and very hip, trendy designs (NOT the usual white supermarket cake, infact very OPPOSITE of one of those)... so, since I had nothing to do today, I wanted to make a fun cake... this Juicy Couture cake. Coconut cake with coconut buttercream. Yummy. My mouth was watering while I made it but now I am not sure if I want to cut it and eat it. Haha.
2 layer chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and buttercream detail
3-layer checkerboard cake iced in buttercream
New York style cheesecake with fresh strawberries and milk chocolate.
Wilton checkerboard pan. I tinted the cake batter hot pink and then iced it in hot pink buttercream with neon green accents.
Iced in buttercream
This was my first cake... it's one of the ones you do for Wilton's Course 1 class... I added my own touch to it though.
This was supposed to be a 2-layer cake but when I lifted the other layer, it broke into pieces. (UUUGH) But I made the best of it and completed the cake in chocolate buttercream with some pink and white drop flowers.
