Blue Hydrangea 25Th Wedding Anniversary

Made for a friend's 25th wedding anniversary this past Saturday. Took ideas from several similar cakes here on cake central. Blue hydrangeas were chosen because she wore a light blue dress 25 years ago. It was a simple wedding, on a Thursday at lunch and they didn't have a cake or reception. Several of the pictures I took at home before the 25 (made of gumpaste and painted with silver luster dust) were put on but am including one with the 25 on. The "C" is their last name initial. If you've seen several of my other recent cakes, you know I'm in love with that vertical ruffle. But instead of doing it all the way around the sides of the cake I decided to try and see how it looked with partial ruffles spaced out to kind of give a 3-d effect? All in all, very happy with how it turned out.

R2D2

For my great nephew's 6th birthday. Idea from several different similar cake pics on Cake Central. 4 - 6" rounds and then a half-ball (baked in a pyrex bowl) for the head. The arms were twinkies (3 for each arm) secured with a long skewer through the whole arm and then toothpicks to secure to the side of the cake. Buttercream icing with fondant accents. Thanks for looking

Purple Hydrangeas And Ruffles

Gumpaste hydranges on small 5" cake with buttercream ruffles. Used mini ball pan for small ball of cake to mound the hydrangeas on.

Pink & Brown Ruffles

This was for a friend's mom who turned 80 today. Pictures are horrible and don't do this cake justice. But in person, the pink color was so delicate and against the chocolate ruffles...well, those pink & brown ruffles just looked awesome. Marble fudge cake with bavarian creme filling, chocolate buttercream and almond flavored buttercream. Buttercream roses with hershey's kiss in center of each rose. Gumpaste 80.

Baby Shower Cake Using Baby Mold

First time using the first impressions baby mold. Took me 4 tries using the baby mold to get one that looked halfway decent but I guess I'll get the hang of it. Thanks to those in the forum who answered my questions and gave me advice. Didn't have any brown petal dust so read in the forum that lots of people use cocoa powder so that's what I used. But in some of the pictures the hair looks red but it was light brown. Colors were brown, beige and white although the chocolate fondant looks black in these pictures. Inspired by another cake here on cakecentral.

Baby Shower Cupcakes

Inspired by a photo that I found on here but can't remember the person's name. Baby carriages, baby bottles and baby onesie toppers made of fondant mixed with tylose powder.

Dahlia & Frills Play Cake

So I've been wanting to try my hand at both the dahlia flower (from tutorial here on cake central) and fondant frills (from several different youtube videos) so this is what I came up with. Did not have frill cutter so just used round cutters. Not quite what I was thinking but I did learn alot. The lighting on these are horrible so you can't tell that the pink frills all complement each other. In fact in some of these the bottom frills looks orange but they were all different shades of pink. Thanks for looking and Happy Easter!!!!

Pink Hydrangea Bush

Made using the Wilton instructions for hydrangea mini cakes but put all on one big board. All buttercream except for fondant stems and leaves.

Including pictures of the bonnets from the side and back also. Thanks for looking!!
