This cake was for a 2yr olds birthday. For some reason I had a vision of a football ripping through the field and decided to try it. I was going to make the football out of rice krispie treats but decided to make it out of cake. I hand carved the football. I did a count down from 5 to bring the middle line to the number 2 in representation of the birthday boys age. Put a little fondant jersey on the cake with his name and age. This was an all yellow cake with vanilla/almond buttercream.
This is an actual size xbox 360. The controllers are actual size as well. Made from fondant and gumpaste.
Someone wanted a turntable cake for a DJ's birthday. This is what I came up with. Arm is gumpaste as are the buttons and other gadgets. This was fun to make.
Ok, this was a big experiment for me. I suck at doing shoes!! lol I usually just have the front and the back , the sole and a heel. This time I decided to try an actual closed shoe. Someone wanted a LV shoe cake so I searched the internet to find a really nice shoe and came across the extreme heel. I created the chain link heel with gumpaste. I used strips of gumpast to wrap around the inside of the link to seal them together. Once dried I sprayed with the airbrush to give it the animal print. I added the LV to the front and on the top of the shoe box. To dress it up a bit I added flowers to the box. The actual shoe the heel is facing differently I put the links sideways so the heel could be seen better while on the box.
An old highschool classmate found out I did cakes and felt I just had to do her shower cake. She came to me with 3 pictures and told me what she like out of the 3 pictures. She didn't cake how I did it and trusted my judgement. So one of the things was the lady sitting in a chair. The picture she showed me had the lady in a big arm chair....I had the chair..but I felt she should be comfortable and have her feet up..lol The women clothes chair and ottoman were made out of gumpaste The rest of the cake she wanted pink and brown..ididn't do the typical wood brown I did a deep dark brown which make the pink stand out more. When she seen the cake she was ready to cry. She could not believe that the cake was way beyond what she expected. Didnt get a close up pic of the face after the smeared lipstick was corrected...lol The middle pic is the cake at the actual shower. It matche the decor perfectly!!
This was a tmobile sidekick lx for a 12yr old. Hope I don't have to do another type of qwerty keyboard again! lol I created a AOL AIM screen and printed out on edible image paper. The date on the top was her actual birthday and I made up a screen name. My 16yr old daughter assisted me in the coded language the kids use today.
Round gift box with ribbon and bow with a gumpaste sleeping baby on top. The blanket is also gumpaste.
A friend wanted a Tiffanys pink gift box tier cake and this was the finished product. The 5 is made of gumpsate and has Sworvoski Crystals on it. I forgot to take another picture of it after the cornstarch was cleaned off.
Divas 1st birthday theme. I created this hobo bag with gumpaste accesories. We have lipstick with top, heart shaped mirror compact, shoe shaped key ring and keys, diamond ring and a comb. The metal chain is of course fondant/gumpaste airbrushed with silver shimmer. I made a flap and a snap closure on the bag.
Someone asked me to do the NY city bus. It was for his girlfriend who was turning 42 her route is in Bronx NY. Hence the bus number BX42. This was a red velevt cake with 3 layers of cream cheese filling. I put battery operated lights. The wheels are gumpaste. She love it!
This was pretty simple. A sheet cake with round pillars as the wheels. The toys were pretty much what made the cake(no pun intended..lol) I love the toys I did this time! I made a teether ring with different shapes. A flower with "girls rule" a heart "baby" and other shapes. Blocks and a doll baby. All made with gumpaste. On the back of the wagon was a baby bib
Another cake with the infamous brown color in the theme. This time its blue and brown. She wanted a gift box cake topped with a baby on the bow. This cake was at least 14in high. One of the highest I've done that was only 3 tiers. I made little accesories, the pacifier, teddy bear and baby spoon and fork. The baby on the top had a pacifier and diaper on
Baby shower cake. She wanted something with a lady sitting in a chair. So I created a gumpaste pregnant lady sitting in a chair with her feet up on an ottoman. This was a 3 tier cake, top to bottom: red velvet, yellow with pineapple/strawberry filling, yellow w/buttercream. The buttercream and pineapple filling was made from scratch.
These two cakes were for two guys who were having a birthday party at Scores Gentlemens club. I used airbrush for both cakes and hand painted tattoos them. One of a tribal tat with the guys name over it and the other was roses and vines. I put fancy thongs/boy shorts on the buns to make it sexy
This was actually supposed to be a CLK two door...OOOPPPPSSS lol The lights made up for the mix up since she didn't know there were going to be any. I hand cut the shape...I didn't use anything but my eye. I had my laptop on the table wth me and started cutting as I checked the screen for correct sizing. After covering the cake with fondant I used silver shimmer and black shimmer airbrus colors. I used two small lights inside the holes I made for headlights.
Christian Louboutin animal print pumps with red sole and shoe box. I did the shoes two days in advance and worked on each step individually,but that did not help anything becaus an hour before pickup the shoe broke then not too long after one broke, the second one broke.... Originally the shoe was to be displayed with the sole showing hence the slight indentations on the top of the box but I had to think fast and make it work! I salvaged the parts that had the animal print which I knew I had no time to hand paint over.
3-d Gucci bag with waist pouch. This was a banana cake with sweet cream cheese filling. Hand painted Gucci logos.
This was my second Sponge Bob themed cake in two days. An old friend of mines daughter loves Sponge Bob. I bought the house which came with Sponge Bob, Pattrick and Squidworth. It was a luau theme. I colored the fondant a light blue then covered it with blue piping get and brown sugar to give the illusion of water and sand. On the sides of the round layer I used white icing to make "air bubbles" and music notes since Sponge Bob is playing music. On the borders I used two different color greens, orange and purple to make the sea weed and "coral". I had it coming up the side of the house as well. This was a red velvet cake with home made cream cheese filling. It was a hit!!
Ok, so first let me say "I know, I forgot the little horns on Brobees head" lol. The red coloring was just so messy that I was gonna do it last...well I forgot. Anyway, got in a time crunch so I only did 3 characters, they were made from fondant and gumpast. The radio was a loaf pan cake and just put on its side. Colored it with a little black coloring to make it the gray. Hand painted the color strips in the front put white fondant across is. I spray painted the base of the cake yellow and used orange, blue and green icing to make a bright cake. It was a yellow cake with home made buttercream icing
My stepdaughter asked me to do her birthday cake..she is one of my biggest fans! She loves littlest petshop and wanted a cake with that theme. Needless to say I had no clue what i was gonna do. I bought a few toys. I used a round 6inc pan and a 14in pan, I cute the bump part off of the round cake and put it to the side, I was at first going to make a merry go round, I had a pillar which I stuck in the middle but I didn't have any boards for the top portion of the cake that I cut off which I wanted to be the top part of the merry go round, so since there was a hole, I stuck one of the toys in and said...hey a pool! lol . I painted the fondant a hot pink rolled some white to make the ring of the pool, made a fondant ladder. The water is blue piping gel. My daughter asked was I going to make a towel since he was in the pool, so thats sitting on the bench on top of his hat(hat and bottle are toys). The bench I made from fondant and gumpaste as well as the tree. So since I had the top portion of the cake still I used that as a hill to put one of the skate ramps on. On the tree I of course had to post a sign pointing to the skate park. The filling is homemade buttercream, and homemade chocolate buttercream. She wanted half and half. I painted the path on the cake with brown wiltons coloring gel. Her name is going to be put on the actual cake board.
The mom wanted a Hollywood theme cake. I did a 3 tier cake with a red carpet coming down the center. Two gold statues were made from fondant to depict the Oscar awards. For the red velvet rope. I used the fuzzy craft wire and black candles. i used 6black and on the top tier I used 10 sliver for the amount of 16. On the middle tier I cut out fondant letters to spell Hollywood. I bought a center piece and used it as the topper and a star shaped mirror. I used some rhinestone stickers to spell out happy birthday and her name.
This was for a baby shower. I used the round balls from a pillar/base set as the wheels. The handle bar is a plastic dowel covered in fondant. I used gumpaste to help it stay in the upward position. The fondant make it kind of heavy so it kept drooping. I made the rattle, car, duck and the blocks from fondant. The blocks spelled out "Its A Boy' (oh she actually had the baby boy yesterday, the 1st of Aug). The image of the train on the side was airbrushed using a train stencil.
This was for a 1yrs old birthday. This shirt was on the polo site. I used an airbrush for the cake. The pony was hand cut from fondant by my ever so talented boyfriend who hates when I call on his artistic assistance...lol
Ok, so this was the most recent penis cake I did, this one was for a bridal shower. I used the air brush this time and white piping gel to give the illusion of the drippings. This was a banana almond yellow cake with butter cream filling. Again I used a loaf pan for the penis, two 9in square pans for the base and 2oval shaped small pans for the ball area.
Ok, so this was my very first "adult" cake. Since then I think my work has improved..lol. My neighbor asked me to do this cake for her co-workers birthday(a female co-worker). Used a loaf pan and shaped the sides, the top already had the cake curve. its covered with fondant and painted with food coloring gel. I used white icing as the dripping(writing the comment about this picture just makes it seem even more dirtier..lol)
This was for a set of twins birthday party. It was a red carpet party. The picture frame is made from fondant so it is edible. The black carpet lights are made from fondant and painted silver in the middle to give the illusion of lights
