All buttercream icing
All buttercream icing.
Two 1/2 sheets - one chocolate with chocolate "fudge" frosting and the other is yellow cake with buttercream. Decorations made of fondant.
My son is OBSESSED with Thomas the Tank Engine and has Thomas as the theme of his last four birthdays. That sure is something seeing how he just turned five this year! This was the second time I had done this one.
My five year old has now had four years of Thomas the Tank Engine cakes (he is OBSESSED!!!) so I was out of ideas. I saw this 3D Thomas cake here on CC so I figured I would give it a try! I am pleased with how it turned out although I wish my bc was a little smoother. It won't bother him and that's what important!
I am so pleased with how my final project cake turned out tonight! It is a WASC with Wilton's recipe for buttercream. I had so much fun taking this class!
Iced in buttercream. The large dinosaur in rock in the center was purchased from a cake website and it roared and moved when set off by a motion sensor. The trees and small dinosaurs are also inedible.
This was for my son's birthday party with his friends. It is a chocolate cake with all buttercream icing.
This is my version of the final cake for Course 3. I wanted to make it just like the book with the flowing flowers but it wasn't working so well. I took everything off and decided to make it easier by doing one bunch on the top.
This is a slight variation from the cake in the course 3 book because I had to use a pan I already had. It was fun working on this and I am pleased with how it turned out. I used premade Wilton fondant which was definitely an easy way to go!
I looked through lots of CC pics to get ideas for this cake - thanks! It is an 8" a 3" yellow cake with vanilla pudding in center. Used the Wilton 3-star tip with buttercream. Numbers and accents are from Wilton pre-made fondant. Lollipop sticks to hold them up.
I was happy with how this turned out :) The flowers were purple although they don't appear so in the pic.
I love the ganache cakes I've seen on CC so I gave it a try myself. It definitely looks like a first attempt but everyone loved it. Top layer Chocolate WASC filled with ganache and bottom was WASC with bc frosting in the middle. This was a pretty tall cake as I used two 8" x 3" cakes. The recipes were from CC and everyone loved them! Thanks to those who posted their recipes.
I have been so curious about working with fondant that I gave it a try. I purchased the pre-made Wilton fondant and did not like the taste at all. We ended up peeling it off before eating the cake. I like how the balls around the edge look but ran out of colored fondant so I didn't know what to do on the top. It also was not as smooth as I would have hoped but I guess it was okay for a first try.
I was running out of time preparing for my kids' Halloween party so I decided on a plain pumpkin to save time. In the end, I'm glad that I did a simple cake.
My 4 year old son is OBSESSED with Thomas the Tank Engine. This was the third time Thomas was the theme of his party!
My son had a family party & a friend party for his 6th birthday. I wanted to make two different cakes so I tried this 3D cake copying his favorite Bakugan named Drago. The other cake was of a Bakugan card. He thought it was really cool that I made him his favorite things :)
It took me a while to figure out how to do a Bakugan cake for my son's 6th birthday. I finally decided to make one of their cards. I used buttercream frosting and spray food coloring. I pictured it next to a real card to show how close I got to replicating it.
I signed up for class to basically get out of the house during the winter. I couldn't believe that I could make a cake that looked like this and was instantly hooked!
