Broadway themed birthday cake, vanilla cake dyed like a rainbow and top layer chocolate with chocolate ganache
Made this and drove 8 hours to El Paso for my parent's 40th anniversary! They loved it! Flavors were white with milk chocolate ganache, red velvet with cream cheese, pineapple and coconut with pineapple coconut cream cheese, and dark chocolate cake with chocolate chips and dark chocolate ganache.
My horrible attempt at a grill for my brother on Father's Day. I had been busy working so I did all of it the morning of. I didn't wait long enough for cake to cool so when I was layering the cake fell apart so I stuck it inside my springform pan :) It was horrible but it tasted DELICIOUS! Hehe! Pineapple cake with coconut flavoring, coconut cream cheese frosting with pineapple filling, RK burgers and sausages, charcoal is fondant covered marshmallows, and grate is made out of sticks. Everyone loved it!
Everyone with glasses had heard that question over and over before :) Client's sister was graduating as an optometrist and wanted a huge eyeball for her and an eye chart. I made glasses, contact lens case, and a cleaning cloth out of fondant. Cakes are vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream, and fresh strawberries, everything covered in fondant. It was a challenge, but worth it in the end. The family loved it!
Yellow cake, fresh strawberries, and buttercream, everything else fondant with graham cracker cookie dirt. Attempted a big monster truck tire, I really liked it but the name made me so angry! LOL I couldn't write straight or pretty that day and the blue kept oozing....should've just left it out, but now I know! Kiddo love it so I guess what I think doesn't matter LoL
First spiderman. My DH did pretty much everything on this one, all I did was write the name :) This was also one of the three cakes we had due on the same day so we sort of divided them up. He sculpte spiderman on a wire frame (he wasn't happy with it, but I thought he did great) and poor thing was so tired he didn't feel like adding the last pair of legs on the spiders off to the side LOL I don't think anyone noticed, but it was fun and a learning experience.
White cake with fresh strawberries, buttercream and fondant. Tried to add more characters this time, but I felt I didn't put enough. I still think it's an improvement from the last one and I did love it. One of three cakes I had to make for one Saturday morning. It was challenging LOL It's just me and my husband and we both work so we were up all night working on them :)
One of three cakes due on the same day. We were up all night working on them. Yellow cake with strawberry buttercream and strawberries, all fondant except goals. The green couldve been brighter, but my husband was so exhausted (he's my muscles for blending and hes awesome at it). I was disappointed that some of the red bled and I think I made a bunch of little mistakes because I was so tired. I wish I had more time to make it what it couldve been. Client loved it though.
My husband's employee saw the other hello kitty cake and wanted the same one. I liked the colors on this one better, more vibrant. White cake, strawberries and buttercream (seems to be the fav since thats all I've been requested LOL) She was very happy with it.
My first attempt at a cupcake bouquet. Hardest part was keeping the cupcakes from sliding down. If anyone has any suggestions, please share :) Made it for a bake sale at work for breast cancer foundation. I loved how they turned out!
Strawberry cake, strawberry buttercream, and fresh strawberries. My husband has done the sculpting til now, I tried cutting the wine bottle out. It looked great until i started adding the buttercream and fondant, then it turned into a 3 liter bottle or a medicine bottle, LOL He reassured me it looke fine, but I learned a lot from it. A lot of firsts: first woodgrain attempt, first writing with food coloring, first bottle. It was fun! And the client loved it! Thanks for all the ideas on CC. Oh! My favorite part was the cheese I made haha!
Bee theme cake for my SIL. Chocolate cake with buttercream and fresh strawberries. Covered in fondant and lots of fondant flowers, bees, butterflies, and leaves. Bride and groom bees are little figurines. I made everything and took it to El Paso. My MIL and other SIL decorated while I ate LoL It was a little tough watching them put the stuff on since I didn't think they were being as gentle as I thought I would be and not putting things where I would put them, but I think it's just because I spent so much time making everything and I'm not used to anyone else besides my husband decorate :) I think it was a little crowded but they had fun!
Yellow cake with pineapple filling and buttercream. I was running late to meet my family for dinner and kind of rushed this. I prayed it wouldn't fall over since I didnt' use a very good support system :) She loved it and the kiddos loved it! Thanks to Blue0877 for the idea!
Yellow cake with pineappple filling and pineapple buttercream, covered in fondant. Lavender is the color of the bridal party. First zebra print ever and handpainted and I was very pleased how it turned out. they loved it!
Funfetti cake with buttercream and fondant. First football cake we made, learned a lot from it. Thanks to everyone here for ideas.
So this cake was supposed to be a going away cake for a friend from work. He wanted a banana cake and he loves the deftones so my plan was to decorate it with the pony from the album. First I was upset because the cake turned more into a banana bread than cake. It was soooo dense! Then I decided to try a new recipe for the frosting and made a caramel frosting. I didn't know that it was going to crust so fast and left me no room to smooth it out. ugh! It was terrible. I finally gave up and laughed it off and just apologized for the ugliness of the cake! Oh! And it came out too sweet! LOL Live and learn!
I baked and layered it, chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and buttercream. My wonderful husband decorated it while I was in the shower. Strawberry flavored fondant and a RK sun. My name is Marysol, which means the sea and the sun :) I loved it! Very thoughtful!
Red velvet and white cake with white chocolate buttercream and fondant for my 9 year old niece in El Paso. Her theme was poodle in paris, but since I had 2 other cakes to make and take on this 8 hr trip, I ditched the poodle and bought an eiffel tower she can use in her room instead, which worked out well because my lovely SIL forgot all the decorations! :) Thanks for all the ideas on CC
A chocolate and strawberry 6" cake with buttercream and fondant for my 2 year old niece in El Paso. She loves Minnie and we missed her bday by a week. Thanks to everyone here for the ideas!
So, I was excited that I had some time to work on the cake. No last minute stuff like the week before. I started baking, made the frosting, cooled the cakes. Alright! Now just frost them and decorate them. No, I made chocolate cake.....of course the order was for white cake. Soooo I had to start all over again. Baking at 1 am the morning the cake was due! Ugh! And then I made IMBC which I froze to stiffen up, but instead I ended up separating the sugar and butter and the BC ended up having this horrible consistency :( I made it work, covered the cake, and delivered it hoping it would taste good. They loved it! Cake inspired by sleepytortuga. White cake, IMBC, and fresh strawberries in between. Head made out of RKT
Chocolate cake with buttercream icing. Fondant decorations, black glittery gel around the name, and lots of luster dust! Got the idea from other decorators here, thanks!
Someone from my husband's work asked if we could make a birthday cake about video games for his son. He asked Sat evening and needed it by noon the next day. Agh! I worked til 9 last night, then got home and looked up ideas on this site. My husband and I got to work at about 10:30 and stayed up til 4 baking, frosting, making fondant and the mushroom out of RKT. Then woke back up at 7 to start covering the cake and decorating. It's a little sloppy, but Im happy with the work we did in such a short amount of time. The baking took forever, but the worst part was that my mixer burnt out :( but i guess that means I get a new one! :D
My sister-in-law loves scrapbooking and again I wasnt able to make the trip down to El Paso to celebrate her bday so I made her a cake and sent it with my in-laws. Everything is edible except for the rhinestones. It was my first attempt at carving a book, I learned a lot and I think the next one will be better. Two layers- one was chocolate the other strawberry- whipped chocolate ganache filling, buttercream and covered in fondant. She loved it :)
I was upset I couldnt make the trip down to El Paso for my mother-in-laws 50th bday, so I made her a cake to make up for it. It was a lemon cake with a strawberry/buttercream filling. It was my first time covering a cake that was not a regular shape in fondant. It was a pain. I had to add a few layers here and there, but I made it work. I wasnt worried too much about appearance, it was the thought that counted and I was just happy it made the 8 hr drive. She loved it and my nieces and nephews didnt leave a single crumb left!
I think the cakes were just too heavy and too small to be stacked. The top cake slid off less than a block away from its destination. I made a new "book" to replace the bottom one but less than an hour later after replacing it, the top one slipped and crushed the bottom one again. The dowel didnt help any. It was ok since it was for my husbands employee. They just cut the cake up in the kitchen and took the pieces out to the party area. Next time we will engineer it better LoL
This cake was a pain from the beginning. My husband did most of the work (since this cake and the Slipknot cake were both due the week I had tons of homework and no days off from work). I just baked and frosted and helped cover the books. He painted the flower on fondant and made the chessboard out of fondant. The cake made the car ride up until about less than a block away from its destination when the top book slid off and crushed the other one. It was horrible. I was at home when he called so in 4 hours I whipped up a new "book" and drove it over. It held for less than an hour before it came crashing down again. The dowel down the center didnt help any LoL It was a disaster! Thankfully it was for my husbands employee and she wasnt upset. They just cut the cake in the kitchen and took the pieces out to the party area. Chocolate fudge cake, whipped chocolate ganache filling, chocolate buttercream and everything else fondant.
