Bottom tier is chocolate with dark chocolate ganache under the fondant and the top 2 are vanilla hd sponge with raspberry and vanilla buttercream. All the images are edible, the roses I used modelling paste and I airbrushed all the black fondant.
A 21st Birthday Cake using wafer paper prints and fondant to decorate.
I made this for my 12 yr old niece. I carved it from 5 x 6 inch cakes. I made the ears and arms from cake pops from the cake I cut off. It took over an hour to pipe the fur with buttercream using a wilton grass tip. My hand was really sore!
Thomas the Tank Engine cake. Carved from HD vanilla sponge filled with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream. I'm happy with it now it's finished but before all the finishing touches were on I was a bit worried!!
Christening cake using a mould for the baby topper. The pink icing is a much richer colour than it looks in the photo. 2 tiers of Vanilla sponge filled with raspberry jam and vanilla butter cream.
Baby's 1st Birthday Cake. It's an 8 x 4 inch vanilla sponge covered in fondant and patterned rice paper.
This is my first outing for my edible printer on a fruit cake covered with marzipan and fondant. I printed a tartan pattern on a4 rice paper and followed a tutorial for making the bow then printed a strip for the ribbon. The individual pieces are stuck together and attached to the cake using edible glue.
Cheeseburger!! I made this with 3 separate chocolate sponges with lots of ganache and chocolate buttercream...no worries about a cake bulge with this one! Airbrushed and decoraterd with fondant.
This cake is covered in fondant and airbrushed in silver then decorated with fondant animal print and gumpaste butterflies. It was really sparkly but hard to tell in the photo. It's the first time I've used silver in my airbrush and it worked well with good coverage, I'll definitely use it again.
Lemon sponge filled with lemon curd and lemon buttercream. Covered in fondant and hand made decorations from fondant too...clouds, baby and cute giraffe.
This is the first heart shaped cake I've made and used an impression mat on the fondant. The flowers are gumpaste. The cakes are chocolate sponge filled with ganache, tasty :) I've never made this many cupcakes before...I didn't realise how long it would take to make 65 cupcakes!!
This was a birthday cake for a 9 year old who absolutely loves all things animal print.
This was a First Communion cake and I was given the diamonte cross to use by the little girls Nana. It was a fruitcake, lemon sponge and chocolate cake...all covered in white royal icing then streaked with pink. I made fondant hearts and crosses for the wires on top and a mini marabou boa draped down the side. There's an amazing cake decorator who has started doing this old fashioned RI in the uk and thought I'd give it a go.
I loved making this cake and it was for a wedding at a really posh hotel, so glad to have one of my cakes there. It's a 10,8,6 inch. Bottom 2 tiers are dark, rich fruit cake with marzipan and fondant, top tier is vanilla sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant. Flowers are all gumpaste.
It was hard not to put lots and lots of butterflies all over this cake, but was asked to keep it simple. I've used the lace mould for the borders using fondant. 'The black tier is a dummy instead of using pillars to give some height.
Wedding cake with pink gerberas. The flowers are gumpaste with crystals in the centre.
This was my first attempt at carving a car cake. I really enjoyed it and will make a few improvements next time but overall I'm quite happy with it. It's vanilla sponge filled with strawberry jam and cream, covered in fondant and airbrushed.
This is my first attempt at cupcakes, I really enjoyed making them and will definately be making more. I made lemon cupcakes with a lemon curd filling and lemon buttercream swirled on top. There were alot more but they were eaten before I could charge my camera batteries!! At least I know they were tasty.
To avoid using black fondant I used my airbrush to spray the black tier and the black flowers, it was easier than I expected to get a smooth finish. The bottom tier is a rich fruitcake covered in marzipan and fondant, the other 2 tiers are a high denstity sponge filled with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream.
This is the biggest cake I've EVER made, it's 3 fruit cakes with marzipan and fondant and 3 lemon sponge cakes filled with creamy lemon curd. The top 3 are cake dummies. The lilies are all gumpaste and it's covered in disco hologram glitter. I'm so grateful to all the ladies here who explained the SPS system to me, it would never have got there in one piece without it. It was for my cousin so I was a guest at the wedding which made it more scarey waiting to see what everyone thought of the cake!
I've been waiting ages to find the Firts Impression Mold for this baby in the uk, and now I finally managed to get one and put it on a cake, I love it! It was just going to be a practice one but it looked nice enough to put on a cake.
This is a mini fruit cake made for my mum for Mother's Day with a gumpaste rose. I just bought the lace cutter yesterday and was really impressed with the nice finish it gave. Much quicker and less messy than a piped border too!
I made this bootie and bib from fondant and practised a some of the techniques I was taught in my cake class a few years ago.
