Girlie Graduation

This is my first paid cake job. I used Fondarific fondant (I usually make my own). It's my first topsy turvy and I'm pretty pleased with it though this picture doesn't really show the "topsy turvey" too well. The mom wanted something very girly and pretty. They were very pleased with it as was I. I now have 3 jobs in August (all within 2 weeks of each other) and may have a job each in September, November and December just because of this cake!

Boston Red Sox Baseball

The sixth cake I made. My 14 year old son enjoys baseball and the Boston Red Socks. This was created by 3 - 9" rounds (2 vanilla, 1 chocolate) carved into a baseball shape. Iced with buttercream icing and covered with homemade fondant. I used icing writers for the stiching.

Gift Cake

This is the third fondant cake I've made. I made it for a co-worker as a surprise for her birthday and she was definitely surprised. :-) It was the best tasting cake out of all that I had made so far. I used the Swans Down 1,2,3,4 cake recipe. My only problem with that cake is it's such a light and fluffy recipe, it's hard to get the straight sharp edges because the fondant weighs it down. I've since switched to a cream cheese pound cake as my standard cake mix.

Son's Heart

This is the second fondant decorated cake I've made. I make a heart shaped cake every year for my two boys so I was excited to do this one in fondant. I had a blast with it and they loved it!

Flower Theme Cake

This is the first fondant decorated cake I made. I had no idea what I was going to do when I started it but it evolved into this. I used a piece of scrapbooking paper that I liked to get the colors the way I wanted them. I was pretty pleased with it as my first cake.

Dolphin Fish

A co worker asked if I would make this for our Public Services director for his birthday. She said, just make a "fish" since he likes to fish. At first I was going to go with a more "cartoony" type fish but thought it would be more fun to try my hand at painting fondant. I LOVED doing it too! Baking is therapeutic for me but the painting is just as relaxing and satisfying. He was quite impressed with it. I'll have to post the picture I took of him with it when I get it off of my camera. :-) Thanks for looking

Baby Animals

This is the fourth fondant cake I have made. The top layer is store bought fondant (which I will NEVER use again) and the rest of it, including the characters, is homemade marshmallow fondant. The cake is a cream cheese pound cake and works great for holding up the weight of the fondant.
