the bride brought me a picture. She wanted her cake exactly like it except a larger base cake, black dots on the top tier, pink and black dots on the bottom tier and daisies w/pink centers, all of which I did for her. WASC with buttercream under MMF (their request, too.)
I have two more of these to do. This will be the last one I post. I tried to correct some of the things I didn't do in the first one (shape of belly and longer tail). I like how the board made the cake look!
Inspired entirely by FACSlady. I have several of these to do for grooms' cakes this summer. This is my first practice. Strawberry cake, cream cheese buttercream, MMF. I have an airbrush I haven't had time to use. I think it will make this cake look even better.
These were ordered to send to a kindergartener's class for a birthday. Hot cocoa cake w/cream cheese buttercream. I striped the icing to match the four colors of the wrappers. I also colored the centers to match the wrappers. I made the wrappers myself and LOVE how they turned out.
The graduate was getting a degree in elementary education. Customer wanted something college themed and teacher ed. themed. I had been waiting to do the little girl busting out for six months! I was completely inspired by a leopard cake w/a girl busting out from CC. 6 and 8" tiers. Strawberry cake, filled with a type of strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries. Butter cream under MMF. Loved doing this cake. Exuse the mess in the background, it was my third cake that day.
9 x 13 OSU graduation cake. They ordered white cake with buttercream. I made WASC and torted it with the icing as well. Pistol Pete is a FBCT.
It's leaning some. Everything was level when I started. It's 3 separate tiers on boards with straws. The base is a 5/8 board on styrofoam supports. Top is RKT. Cinnabon cake w/cream cheese icing/filling with cinnamon under MMF. If anyone has any suggestions or hints for the leaning issue, please let me know. Baked days ahead, filled and frozen, carved and sat then fondant.
I was asked to make a cake for a friend who works in a CPA firm. She wanted it for 4/15/10, something tax or office related. Originally I saw a calculator but then I saw CristyInMiami 's adding machine. Thank you for the inspiration though I still have a ways to go it's not too bad. Chocolate WASC, sugarshack buttercream, MMF.
8 and 6 inch layers. Strawberry and vanilla cake in each, covered in white choc. ganache, filled with strawberry mouse and fresh strawberries. Strawberry flavored MMF. I brushed everything except the base of the cake and the board with pearl glaze. 50/50 sandals. Rattle is styrofoam w/fondant handle. Made to coordinate with decorations. Impression mat on the board with some of the impressions pearl glazed, too.
Last minute order, up until after 2 a.m. working on it (after my regular full time job). First time truck, first carving. It wasn't supposed to look so cartoonish. It's not lop sided, just looks like it due to angle of picture. Chocolate WASC, Sugarshack buttercream, chocolate MMF. Had lots of trouble w/MMF not stretching and cracking right from the beginning. Recipe from CC. A couple of ladies gave me some instructions, thanks ladies. Well, no where to go but up from here. :) Supposed to look like the 86 chevy that belongs to dad which he is surprise giving to son. Asked for the the chocolate brown w/platinum.
I made these for my Sunday School class Easter Sunday. I wasn't sure how many kids I'd have so I didn't want to do a large cake. The kids always love cupcakes. Strawberry cake, cream cheese frosting, MMF daisies. 2nd time using the daisy cutter. I'm much better after seeing so many posts with daisies on CC! Thanks everyone for inspiration!
9 x 13 Orange Dreamsicle with vanilla mousse filling, iced w/Sugarshack buttercream. MMF flavored w/orange. 50/50 mickeys and ears. Hat is 1/2 sports ball pan. Edible image black and white mickeys. The dots were a last minute add. I'm glad I did that. Disney font for the writing. This cake turned out better than I thought it would!
This was for a grandma shower at work. We're all too old to have children so now we have grandma/grandpa showers. :) Pistachio-cardamon cake, 8 and 6 inch. Pistachio filling with white chocolate ganache under MMF. Candy mold bottles. Made to match decorations.
Sugar cookies from the Global Sugar Art site. Some with royal icing and some with MMF. Bucket is from Hobby Lobby. Treat wraps with sticks taped on the back as mentioned here on CC. Thanks for looking!
This is my first penguin and igloo cake. The penguins are a little thin on the front. Other than that I think it turned out pretty well. It is a fresh apple cake w/pecan caramel flavored BC under MMF flavored with caramel, too. 2 6 inch layers w/6 in bowl on top.
WASC, buttercream filled, covered in ganache under MMF. The little girl wanted the FOX logo with zebra and pink. It is really a lovely shade of bright pink, not the orangey-red it looks like. I used my tappits for the first time. I need more practice with them. Oh, she requested the inside be red, black and pink like the outside.
My second basketball cake. By far this is better than the first. However, there were some things that went wrong with this one as well - learn for the next time right? 7 egg pound cake, vanilla buttercream under MMF. Board is just cardboard covered in MMF and painted to look like the floor. I had red letters to go on it but they didn't dry soon enough and I had to get this cake to our h.s. tournament.
My first Christmas present cake. This was small, 9 x 13 cut in 1/2 and stacked. Covered in buttercream and MMF on top. Bow was MMF w/tylose. This was a lot of fun to make! Chocolate WASC cake
The groom called. He didn't care if this was tiered, stacked or just a sheet cake. He didn't care about flowers or colors and didn't want a topper. He said his bride's colors were white, silver and light blue and some or all of it needed to be chocolate. So I made Chocolate WASC w/vanilla buttercream. I tipped the roses in silver luster dust and used two sizes of silver leaves. 12, 10 and 8 inches. The top and bottom have pearls inserted randomly along the sides. The cake stand was something I found prior to getting the call for this cake. It just happened to have the blue inserts in it (which I can remove for future use). I layed some silver ribbon around the stand with some silver bead strands. I set 2 dove toppers on each side with some diamond looking jewels scattered throughout. TFL
I saw this cake on CC by het_bonte_taartje. I couldn't wait to try it. It was such an inspiration! I made the band of white 'fur' a little thicker so it would look more like fur. I thought I might run out of fondant so I rolled it a little thin. The result of course is a cake that is a little lumpy looking. However, I really like the way this turned out! I'm planning on making another for a banquet in a couple of days!
These are the cutest things! I completely took them from Bakerella. I even used the cola-cake recipe she used for hers. Fondant polar bears with tylose for drying, gummy cola bottles, buttercream icing with the snow sparkle on the icing and around the globe. Round Coca-Cola bottles for the globe with the tops cut out. These were surprisingly easy.
2 layer, pumpkin w/cream cheese buttercream. MMF/gumpaste/tylose basket and leaves. Varying color on the leaves though it doesn't show in the picture. Dusted (highlighted) with gold luster dust.
9 x 13 for a friend. Chocolate/vanilla marble w/cream cheese buttercream. Vanilla was colored orange, black was added to the chocolate. Frozen buttercream transfer. Friend picked the cake by tdybear1978 so I made this one similar. Thanks!
Pumkin cake = vanilla cake mix instead of spice, 1 tbsp. pumpkin spice. Cream cheese butter cream between layers, white chocolate ganache under MMF. Striped fondant in pieces over a sheet covering top layer. The leaves are mottled in shades of orange and brown but it doesn't show. I brushed everything with gold luster dust. Practice making fondant roses. I need more practice with that. Please ignore the mess in the background. I just finished this cake and was excited so I had to take a picture before I had a chance to clean it all up.
My first try at this cake. It took a while but it was actually easy. 3 tiers, bottom and top are strawberry, middle is chocolate. Iced and filed in strawberry buttercream, fondant on top and barrel, piping gel w/blue mixed in for water. Duckie is a toy.
Made to match some fabric. It took me three tries to get the shoes. I would have made it four but, I ran out of time. Got the pattern off CC then modified it some. I'm not real happy with them, but I know next pair will be better (practice). :)Cake is WASC, rainbow as requested by mom. I replaced almond w/strawberry flavor. T-shirt is fondant as are dots and beads around bottom. Shoes are 50/50 gumpaste/fondant mix.
