For Babys first Birthday ... based on invitations. It dawned on me .. the monley can go to the next layer .. was like a stroke of genuis....which doesnt happen often. The border is made with a silcone mold... one of thebest purchses I have made for cake supplies.
This is based almostly soley on a wilton design. I canged the colors because we knew it would be a baby girl. The hardest part would be making the blocks believe it or not. I should have relized i should have made a square template and let the fondant/gumpaste set for a bit after rolling it so it wouldnt pull when cutting it OR i could have used a metal scrapper if I had the template... live and learn.
Baby - Baby SHower cake. I belive this is a wilton design. Great cake for a beginner to make. The trickest part is to make sure the heights of the cake match !
Tink Cake all edible except & the cricket. I wanted her to have something to keep. ALl fondant tree base. Loosely based on a wilton Tink cake due to the scrolls and flowers on border.
ALice in WOnderland. All Edible. Hand made roses (made to look cartooney on purpose) Bottom layer to look like cheshire cake. Top layer to look like mad hatters hat.Roses, pocketwatch,and cards all edible.
This is a real barbie (full size in the center) Believe I used wiltons wonder doll mold and then either 8/9 inch rounds on the bottom. Refrigerated cake and then carved to make it dress shape. All fondant ruffles. All fondant bodice and dress. Fondant flowers with dragees to snaze it up. Was a pain to figur out how to cut the pink to set on the ruffles..... would do different next time.
Cowgirl Birthday Cake ... all edible .. even the horse that made me cry .. LOL . Bottom Layer denim with pink belt and buckle with intial. Hand made Paisley (with the help of wilton leaf cutters) with dragees on them. Top layer pink cow pattern. Topper is a girl horse all made with 50/50 fondant gumpaste. I really need a better solution so it wont be so heavy next time i make something similiar.(the horse was made after a clay type horse set they had in acmoore or michales -I told pics of the box and replicated it) Fondant flowers for the border on bottom cake. I totally dont rem what size cake.. I made this a few years agao and was feeling I was neglecting my CC account today ! LOL
i wanted to put the car on the top but it was to heavy! all edible except wires from straw
for a friends 97 y/o granny who loves pinochle ! I couldnt find anything to base it on so i winged it ! Cards are made of 50/20 fondant/gumpaste mix so they can harden. All edible except popsicle sticks on cards and the granny :)
For a friends daughter. Only request was iCarly. This was my first time using disco dust*note dont mix pink disco dust with black royal.....it looks like gold disco dust ! LOL Forgures took forever and almost melted on me with the heat. Glad to be done that one !
for a friends son. Only request was a wrestling theme. Everything is edible except the red ropes. What are they ? Coffee straws from wawa ! Used royal for the writing which was all free handed. First time i uses royal so I made the mistake of moving it before it was dry :(
Customer showed me a pic of a martha stewart wedding cake and said she wanted a two tiered version for her bridal shower. I cut over four hundred daisies to make over two hundred daisies as each flower has two layers. Needless to say i was sick of daises after four days of cutting them and shaping them with a tool :)
two layer princess castle cake, all edible except the tower portion. The top ower was edible, make w ith fondant and ice cream sugar cone "glued" on with piping gel. Tower was pvc tube with fondant also glued on with piping gel.
this was a last minute request so i kept it simple. all fondant and just some disco dust to try to make it more girly ! any questions feel free to ask. was fairly simply cake to do. thanks for looking,
Made for my girlfriends baby shower. Two tiers bottom is 10x10 top 8x8. Top layer is hawaiian wedding with pinneapple filling creame cheese frosting. Bottom layer chocolate chip with choc cream chees frosting and choco shipps bet layers too ! (in case enuf not in the cake ..lol. Last minute (like 4 days ahead of time) so I turned to wilton for inspiration. Was gonna make baby block cake, but I felt it wasnt enought and I couldnt find those stupid balls at any local store ! (wanted to make monkeys holding top layer up!) So I turned to CC and looked at green and I found a wonderful cake and I used theirs for inspiration> if anyone knows who the original was please give them, credit, I cant find their pic now ! The monkey is covered in choco fondant (smells like tootsie rolls) Thanks for looking and thank you cake Central user ! You guys are the best ! (ps the only reguest I had to go by were green, and a monley and maybe her name since she was already born)
All fondant decorations. Wubbzy was all fondant but i used toothpicks in his legs and arms and wire in the tail so they wouldnt snap in half, Two tiered, did didfferent colored cake inside. Home made MMF, my first try at it.
Minnie mouse two tiered with cake ball mix for the minnie ears.
My first attempt at a wedding cake ! I was happy with the end result. The roses took forever. Two tiers top tier 6 inches bottom tier 8. Both pound cake with buttercream icicng . WHite fondant with icicng for the lace. The topper was a styrofoam ball covered in white fondant . All roses were made with white fondant (i didnt like the ones i made with gumpaste!) on a toothpick and then placed in ball.
40th bday caoch bag. what a project this was ! I recommend using three pies to cover this. one over the front to the back and two for the sides. it kept tearing on me ! Ug was i mad. But it cam out great. I usde a spoon end to make the imprint for the zipper and used silver glaze for "metal" pieces. Funky tappit letters Chocolate satin ice fondant for handles(which is awesome!) and shellac with brown dye to paint the c's on. Funkt tappit letters for wording
This is a ladybug cake I made for a friends daughters 10th B day. My inspiration for this cake was from fantasticakes ! SHe has awesome stuff! http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_1521035.html The lady bug is made from a recipe that some use for cake pops. A cake mixed with icing and then formed into the shape I wanted and refrigerated until the next day. I was told they ate the inside and it tasted like brownie batter ! The letters were with funky cutters which I havent used prior, OMG what a pain ! If anyone has suggestions please help !Any questions feel free to ask :)
I made this for Kaitlins 5th birthday. Her only request was it had to be a cars cake. So, I started to get ideas form CC and all over the web. This is what I came up with. The bottom layer is 12 inces the tio 8 inches. Nest time I might try it on a smaller scale. (10 inch and 6 inch) I am not confident(or maybe just lazy) to do edible cars so I bout the match box sixed ones(close to it) Also, shop ahead for Tow mater ... he is sooo hard to find in the rusty version...not even the disney store had him in stock. Sorry I DONT know how too split if you want other pics email me [email protected]
This was for a family members baby's christening. Wanted something religious theme. So I found this pattern on wiltons website under christening.(there isnt a christening section on here is there) Anyway, the bow and the flowers were made of a fondant & gumoaste mix. I made the bow ahead of time and also the flowers. I do reccomend that you make extra loops for the bow and extra flowers also. One of the loops on the bottom cracked. The loop sizes are 6 inches and 5 inches I believe 8 of each size. I will think twice about doing a bow again, I wasnt a fan. I do love the texture on the cake, its buttercream dabbed on fondant with a paper towel. Also, I used the pan to trace twice to make the board. Traced once and then again about an inch away from the original outline.
my first crack at a tiered cake and using a larger pan. the bottom pan is 12 inches top 8 inches. i based this on a wilton design in the 2010 year book. i did round instead of square and lfet duckies off the bottom cause i wanted a more clean look . thanks for looking, and please comment good or bad ....always willing to learn something new!
This is the first Fondant cake I have ever done ! I was soooo excited that it layed so nice on the cake ! My teacher was fabulous ! I am taking more classes with her for sure ! :) This was just a practice cake so I tried the fondant mat impression. I def need practice with that. I walked into work and the guys said, can we cut that? Even before i set it down ! Ha :) They love that I take classes . I am shooting for something bigger next time.
this was the finale cake...i practice at class and then go home and decorate my cake. I like being at home where i have everything i need (and dont need) and I can use the sink as much as i want. I need to work on the consistency of the icing for the flowers, i believe if I had it right I would be ok with the flowers. My icicng was too soft and my flowers drooped a bit. If I can get that down I think i will do much better, also I dropped a lower on the cake, thats why its cockeyed ! LOL
This is the second cake I made for course 1 class three. I think clowns are scary but I did it anyway! I will never make a double batch of icing again ! Everything came out to stiff so I tried to water it down! I need practice on my scallops, any advice ?
