I made this cake for my daughters 14th birthday. She loves frogs and it just so happened that the bucket of Wilton's green icing was on sale after Christmas. I used a large mixing bowl for the frogs body and a small mixing bowl cut in half for the back legs. I used white chocolate truffles for the eyes and sprinkled green sugar over the cake to make it sparkle and cover my 'imperfections' in the un-smoothed icing. I made different sized cupcakes due to the fact that she invited half of the middle school to the party and the cake wouldn't feed all of them.
This was a cake that I was FORCED to do...Ha! My best friend needed a cake for her hubby's birthday. With his love for cars and obsession with monkeys, I decided to incorporate the two into one. Fondant is not my specialty, but I enjoy playing around with it. The monkey is made from my mom's recipe for color flow. This was my FIRST time to attempt (and I only broke one of the 3 I made and chose from). I crushed oreo cookies to cover my 'imperfections' on the cake to have the appearance of a rough dirty terrain.
This is a cake that I threw together just to test out a cake pan. I actually had really low expectations for the pan because of the heart shape in the middle. After baking the chocolate cake, I made a peanut butter pie filling (no bake) while the cake cooled. I then spooned the filling in and froze the cake so that the filling would stay put as the cake was assembled. The cake is covered in a milk chocolate frosting and topped with peanut butter drizzle. This cake was delicious and surprisingly beautiful when completed!!
I love to paint and I decided to try cake decorating. This is my first fondant cake. I made a 4 layer (thin layers) red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Then covered it with the premixed Wilton fondant in white. I then cut the zebra stripes with premixed Wilton fondant in black. It was a little difficult to work with as I have never used fondant before. I cant wait to start making my kids birthday cakes. They are going to have some cool cakes!!
