My daughter wanted to have a play and this was her finished product..
I made this for my dad's 60th birthday last week... he has bought himself a Triumph Spitfire thats in pieces to restore so this cake was fitting for him.. it is red velvet cake with cream cheese and white choc filling.. my first at red velvet and it was devine loved by all at the party.. i airbrushed the cake with red and a touch of black then dusted it with opal gold lustre looked cool in person.
this was done for a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary. He loves roses she loves butterflies. the butterflies were supplied and are made of feathers no way would i be able to have made such delicate butterflies they were gorgeous..i did however make all the roses...
My daughter wanted a red, black and white themed birthday party and cake with a hint of twilight to the theme and this is what her and i came up with... it is choc boysenberry /black forest timtam cake with boysenberry buttercream filling on the bottom 8" tier, and vanilla cake with cookies and cream filling for the two top tiers 6" and 4". she loooooved her cake and it was officially my first pillar cake. her friends thought it was cool too.. the words matched the tshirt she wore with red glitter letting dripping like blood... i used the glitter piping gel in tube for it..
this was made for a couple who do deep sea diving.. they wanted something different and what happened to theme their wedding round.. so that is what we have here we call them kina's you may call them sea urchins hehe. it is choc boysenberry with boyesnberry buttercream filling on bottom and the other two are lemon cake with a lemon buttercream YUUMMMM
I made this for my boss.. we work on a dairy farm & his wife asked if i could make him a cow cake i suggested an Udder.. so i made this using a round cake on bottom & bowl cake on top then carved out each quarter as needed. I used fondant underneath to make the teats & the milk veins, i then covered in buttercream & then fondant. I airbrushed it flesh colour.. it looked awesome in real life pic just not the same hehe.
I thought i would share this pic.. here in NZ we dont celebrate 4th July as you all do but we had a Rock n Roll birthday hop last night (4 july) and the theme was stars n stripes and i had the honour of making the cake.. the cake is a copy of the big banners they had made and hanging up etc... it was loved by all. It is 2x 12" square cakes side by side then cut to shape... little bummed as not quite as round i was would have like at the base... is choc cake with white choc buttercream filling. covered in fondant was fun to do.. so with that Happy 4th July to you all
2tiers in heart shapes for a farming couple, i airbrushed the cake, piped the fencing wire, fondant for posts and the motorbike and couple.. dressed to look the happy couple on the day.
My first ever castle cake i am soooo in love with it... It is inspired by one from Carol Deacons book but i have tweeked it ie using my brink imprints, both tiers are cake not just the hollow turrets. i also iced the sides seperately so i could imprint them and then cut out the pattern along the top.. i used a 8" and a 4" vanilla cake with white choc buttercream filling.
A cake supplies company here had a competition where you designed their 3rd bday cake.. business name Kiwicakes. the winner was then to make the cake. the winner recieved $500 worth of cake decorating supplies, the cost for ingredients paid and the delivery costs. My design won this is it made up yay my first ever win.
this is the end result after the help from Doug in regards to the stand design thanks so much doug you are such an inspiration... this was made for a mans 50th bday with a 50's theme but the wige wanted something norty from the 50's so i suggested the playboy bunny girls. am really happy with the end result and it is my first Pillared cake woohooo lost sleep over it and for nothing hehe
I made this for my daughters 13th bday couple of years ago my first ever topsy turvey cake. she didnt want girlie colours etc and decided on a theme of black n white. learnt alot making it and need more practise but i loved the finished look of it.
I was so proud of my monogram that i made myself. I first of all painted it with antique gold cake paint but wasnt right didnt match the roses... the roses i dusted with ginger gold lustre dust and then steamed to give glossy finish. all put onto a plaque. cake is 12" carrot cake with cream cheese filling and fondant icing.
Made for my mums 50th bday.. she is a hairdresser and loves hedgehogs so couldnt think of anything more fitting for her.. even has on her high heels and nail polish.
I made this for my hubbys and my 17th wedding anniversary this weekend. the bottom tier is a dummy 10" and the top tier is 2 6" vanilla cakes with cookies and cream filling. roses and decoration all made of fondant.. the gold decorations i used like a patchwork flower cutter and then painted them all with antique gold liquid cake paint. I airbrushed the bottom tier the red. I had a vision and what better excuse to have a play than for ourselves.. I love the finished look
all 3 tiers chocolate cake with white choc buttercream filling... each tier is 12', 9' and 6' and are 4 1/2 inches high so a nice decent sized cake.. took awhile to make all those pearls but turned out okay... the pearls around each tier were dusted with mother of pearl lustre dust the rest left natural... i also dusted the green stripes with opal green lustre..
I am sooo over the moon with this cake.. i wasnt sure how it was gonna look but once it was all done i am sooo Proud of me hehe.. 4tier. 12', 10" ,8" and 6" fruit for bottom and mudcake with white choc buttercream filling for the rest.. All lillies made of fondant with dyocell added... there are a total of 13 lillies for this cake..
did this yesterday for my bosses daughter.. was fun and very simple.. cake baked by mrs boss hehe covered in fondant with edible sand royal icing ocean and choc shells..
I had artistic license on this cake as m-of -the-bride ordered another cake but then asked if we could change it 1 week before the wedding, seen as though she is having a beach wedding i suggested this idea all over the phone she accepted... i then got to play YAY.. shells all white choc, bride n grrom fondant on a icing plaque. all edible sand . Only requirement was the top tier to be a small fruit cake. She was over the moon when she picked it up yesterday for valentines day wedding. (horrible to work in the humidity though made it hard)
the bride wanted the black, white and red colour scheme with the mixed cake shapes... all fondant except the coloured wire swirls out the top of the cake.
