Colors matched the napkins, etc. for the first communion. Not the most "manly" color scheme for an 8-year-old boy but he was happy with it!
A rocking horse pan with colors for a baby girl's Christmas-time baby shower. Buttercream stars.
Or as my 2-year-old says "Melmo!" Buttercream icing, the Wilton Elmo pan, grass tip for the fur.
The bottom is one 9" round and two 8" rounds with dowels through them and a separator circle on top. The Ariel is a regular size doll stuck through a cake from the Wilton Wonder Mold. The frosting is all buttercream. I followed the picture of this one from Kitagrl ( http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=371043 )
I had intended to make Mack be the cake, but I ran out of time and came up with this. The bottom is the cake and I resorted to sticking the original toy inspiration on top. I had made gum paste from a mix to use for Mack's trailer, but there wasn't enough and it wasn't dry enough, so those pieces became the road signs (I hot glued them to lollipop sticks). The rest is buttercream.
Used a piping gel on waxed paper technique to transfer Yosemite Sam on the 9x13 cake. Used BC icing to outline and fill in (using a round tip and smoothing with cornstarch covered finger). And yes, I know I mis-centered the wording at the top! D'oh!
Covered a round with white BC and sprayed with red food color. Used a Pampered Chef bowl as a cake pan, placed that on top of the base cake and carved it to look more round. Covered the ball in purple pull-out stars and added legs out of icing. For a Halloween birthday!
Rocking horse cake pan, covered in all buttercream, for a dual baby shower. Plus a real button for the horse's eye!
All buttercream
When my son turned one, he was nicknamed "The Octopus" because he was always grabbing all sorts of things from all over! So we went with the octopus theme. The octopus is a ball of cake covered with fondant, and his legs are rolled fondant. The rest is buttercream.
All buttercream -- and coincidentally baby Lily was born today!
I used a piece of clip art and the waxed paper/piping gel transfer method for the plane and banner. The clouds are made with a large opening star tip in a zig zag fashion.
Basket of flowers for a friends birthday. The roses are royal icing, the rest is buttercream. I made the not-so-great looking handle out of a pipe cleaner covered with icing.
The car is made from the Wilton 3D pan and set atop a 9x12 layer decorated to look like a road. The headlights were short pieces of a straw covered with aluminum foil and stuck to the crumb coat before surrounding them with stars.
This is made from two 9" rounds. One was left uncut and used for the head. I cut slices off the sides of the second cake to make the tail and to use as a connection between the body and the head. A cupcake forms the tip of the tail. Uncooked pieces of spaghetti make the whiskers. I made the face to resemble the lion on the napkins and plates.
Stopwatch with the 60 made of numeral candles for my dad's 60th birthday
Box of 64 Crayons for my dad's 64th birthday; also used crayon candles.
Made for my doctor husband, two cake mixes in a 9x12 with extra batter for the cupcakes, all buttercream icing.
