Chocolate cake with fudge buttercream filling & iced in vanilla buttecream. Scotties are made with RI & the ribbon is real.
This cake was a disaster from the start. I had all but half a tier baked then decided that the recipe I used wouldn't be sturdy enough so I started over. I ordered Satin Ice fondant and had nothing but trouble with it. Cracking, tearing, and everything in between. Thank god for ribbon that could cover up the gigantic chunk that ripped off. Ugh I was just ready to cry. The bride loved it, but it ruined me for doing wedding cakes ever again.
I made this for my future sister in law's bridal shower. Its white chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream filling and MMF covering. Flowers & glass are real and I used pink colored piping gel for the martini, and fondant for the olives.
Made this for my daughter's 7th birthday. Lemon cake with cream cheese icing under MMF.
I made this for a friends wedding. Its vanilla cake with alternating layers of raspberry buttercream & raspberry puree. It settled a bit over night so the fondant is bulging on the sides. She loved it though.
Devils food with bavarian cream filling covered with milk chocolate ganache under MMF. Had some trouble with the writing so it looks kinda sloppy.
I made this for a friend who is from New Orleans. Its hard to tell but it is dusted with old gold luster dust.
I made this for my boss's friend who is a quilter. It was late when I got started on it and by 10:30pm my creativity had gone out the window. So while I'm pleased with the top of the cake, I think I should have done something different on the sides. Its devils food cake with bavarian cream filling and ganache under the MMF.
Everything about this cake I hate. It was a carrot cake with cream cheese under the fondant. My fondant was cracking, my stencil was too big and I had to cut it down, my icing was temperamental. Ugh I hate this cake, but figured I'd share it anyway.
I made this for my son's first birthday. I was pretty disappointed in the way the whole thing turned out. It was swiss chocolate & chocolate fudge cake with whipped mint filling and ganache. I used white chocolate mint buttercream to ice with. It was very hard to keep the consistency right. Everyone loved the cake, but I guess we're all our own worst critic. There was also a snowflake cake for him to smash up.
I made this for my cousin's birthday. Its devils food cake with fudge filling and swiss buttercream. She loved it. Unfortunately my fondant rippled a bit on the back. It was a learning experience, but fun. It was inspired by a design I found on here by Somethin-Sweet. Thanks for the idea!
WASC with strawberry filling & Swiss Meringue Buttercream
I made this for my little brother's birthday. He plays for the Packers in the Little Guy Football league. Its Chocolate & White cake layered, with ganache filling, finished in buttercream.
I made this for a friends Granddaughter. Its WASC with strawberry filling & buttercream under MMF. It was fun to do, but I've really got to learn time management with cake decorating. I'm always so rushed so its not as clean as I would like. Enjoy!
I made this for a friend of my daughter. Its WASC with strawberry filling covered with buttercream. I used the FBCT method for the t rex. Worked pretty good.
Made this for my mother in law's birthday.
Made for my Aunt & Uncles 25th anniversary. The topper isn't on it yet. Top is devil's food with german chocolate filling, bottom is red velvet with cream cheese filling. Covered in MMF. Flowers are silk because I haven't learned how to do gumpaste flowers yet.
I made this for a friends birthday. Butter cake with whipped cream filling covered in MMF. Gumpaste leaves & Panda, & fondant bamboo. This cake was fun to make and I'm relatively pleased with the way it turned out.
I'm totally annoyed with this cake. I made it for a couple of friends' birthday at work. They grew up in the 70s so that was the theme I tried to convey. I had tons of trouble with the cakes breaking, then when I used my foam roller to smooth it, it left a bunch of tiny fibers on the cake, which show up. Ugh! Then I did the lettering in colorflow, but it all broke, so I'm just putting a sheet of paper with the writing on it. Hopefully it tastes good.
I made this cake for my brother in law and his fiance. She is really into frogs. It was a triple layer chocolate, vanilla, chocolate with fudge filling. It was really fun to make and I tried the paint roller technique for smoothing the icing. Worked fabulous!
I made this cake for my nephew's 1st birthday. I took the design from the decorations. Its buttercream with fondant accents. Fudge cake with fudge filling. Tasted awesome! I had a hard time smoothing the buttercream. I think I just worked on it too long. I should have set it aside and tried later on. Oh well, they liked it.
The photo doesn't really do the color justice. It was actually an almost neon green. I wrote a special note on it for my mother in law who had to put her dog down the day before.
This was the second cake we did for our Wilton 1 class. It didn't turn out quite like I hoped, but hey it looks ok. I think I should have gone with an ivory icing instead of yellow.
This cake was a lot of fun to make. Unfortunately when I iced the cake I was in a big rush and got too many crumbs in the icing. Oh well, live and learn.
