For a military wedding... styled after the grooms uniform and bride's dress and flowers.
Made for a lover of all things MacKenzie-Childs - this was based on their classic garden cake plate and dome. I used food colors to paint the flowers.
A chocolate cake with fudge filling, covered in a light pink fondant. The owl was designed to match an invitation, and is also made from cake and covered in fondant.
A gluten-free cake with caramel filling. Flowers are gumpaste.
Second promotion cake I made for the hubby... this was the fun one! Made my own beer bottle mold and labels.
Made for my hubby!
6 inch round, red velvet. There's a real cupcake inside the fondant one.
School colors, done in a gradient. TFL!
For a boy having a magic-themed birthday. Cake is red velvet.
My first attempt at fondant ruffles... I love them! The dancer on top was requested after my client found a cake by Sam and Olga (who do beautiful work!). The cutouts on the side were done with my Silhouette cutter and edible icing paper that I got for free from the lovely Icing Images gal I met at the National Capital Area Cake Show. TFL.
Made for our piano teacher. If you look closely you'll notice that the music on the side is the Happy Birthday tune. It took me a while to figure out how to make those staff lines straight and came up with a homemade stencil made out of a transparency. The piano is made from chocolate fondant. Thanks for looking!
The customer asked for polka dots, a big bow, and pastel colors. The inside is chocolate with fudge filling. Very happy with the results!
A two layer castle cake - top round was vanilla cake with fudge, bottom round was chocolate cake with cookies and cream. The towers were made from cardboard tubes and ice cream cones.
Totally based on karenm0712's iPod cake. Edible image with quote from the birthday girl's favorite song. Red velvet with vanilla buttercream and MMF.
Made for my friend's son. Had a great time coming up with building names! Bottom layer is chocolate/choc buttercream and top is vanilla/vanilla buttercream. Covered in MMF.
Made for a 30th birthday party. For the blue tier I made my own hibiscus pattern on parchment, pin pricked it into the fondant and then piped with RI. Cakes are red velvet with vanilla buttercream and lemon with raspberry filling.
Made for my friend's twins who are, according to her, a pair of crazy monkeys. Chocolate cake (Darn Good), chocolate buttercream, and covered in ganache and fondant.
The theme for my son's kindergarten graduation was caterpillars to butterflies... so what better than the classic Eric Carle book?! When I did a search here on CC I came upon the amazing Melanie Judge and her cake based on the book. Using that as inspiration and adding a few things of my own... and tada. Top tier (sun) and bottom tier were chocolate cake with ganache (I'm a convert), middle tier was WASC with buttercream. All decorations are fondant and/or gumpaste. (This sucker was one HEAVY cake and was devoured by a class of kindergarteners in record time!) TFL.
First off... thanks to MD79 for posting her awesome cakes for me to copy! She's my CC idol. This cake was SO fun to make. I could have spent forever with the details. Everything was hand cut, except the baby, ribbon, and big flowers - which were molds/cutters. The letters on top are RI transfers. All fondant or fondant/gumpaste accents. Cake was yellow (Sylvia Weinstock's recipe) with buttercream filling. TFL!
An 8 inch round WASC with buttercream filling and MMF. First time making roses, so I tried every technique out there! Cake was for a neighbor who ended up bringing over a topper. Roses got demoted to the bottom of the cake. (Inspiration came from Juizyfruits)
Made these for a cute girl named Isabella. Thanks to sweetopia for your ideas and perfect royal icing tutorials!!!!
Made for a cute girl in my neighborhood who's turning 16. She chose the colors and the design. Other than some sagging issues on the top, I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at this kind of cake. All red velvet with vanilla buttercream icing. MMF. And everyone will be pleased to know that my wires are in straws.
Other than my obvious issue with flooding ROUND cookies, I was very happy with these. The designs on the cookies match the jewelry.
My friend who sells for Stella and Dot asked me to do some cupcakes and cookies. These mini cupcakes are coconut with a lime curd SMBC frosting. My new favorite combo EVER! So much fun!
My neighbor asked if I'd make her birthday cake, and presented me with a drawing of exactly what she wanted. Other than a limp bow (need more gumpaste!) I was pretty happy with it. Lime and orange seem to be in the "in" colors?!
