Made this for Valentine's Day. Red heart box is fondant, chocolates are cake balls dipped in white chocolate with dark chocolate drizzle. Got this idea from Bakerella!
I was asked to make a cake for a girl's last day of work before her maternity leave. The only instructions I was given was "Make something for a baby boy and can you make it a goodbye cake too?" This is what I came up with. The green, fence and grass is all BC, the figures and rolled roses are fondant/gumpaste. This was my first attempt at gumpaste figures, and I like how they turned out!
Made for my family reunion, the image is our family crest. Tried to do a royal icing transfer, but the pattern was too delicate to do it without breaking. Did a transfer of the outline, and freehanded the rest right onto the cake. Held my breath the whole time, black and red leave no room for mistakes! The cake is large, used four 9x13 cakes. Roses handmade from gumpaste/fondant, no cutters. Cake covered in Fondariffic buttercream fondant (tasted great!), borders piped in buttercream, letters done with gumpaste and tappits, crest done with royal icing.
Baked cupcakes, while still warm I pressed a shotglass into the center to make a shallow hole. Then placed a cone-shaped cake ball into each hole to form the base for the tree. Piped tree with open star tip, sprinkles finish it off.
My son requested a Pokemon cake. I couldn't find alot of inspiration, so I bought him some new action figures and stuck them on a cake! All buttecream.
All buttercream. After I had done it, I thought I should have done a FBCT, image would have been smoother.
This is what my DD wanted...a unicorn in the flowers. Porcelain unicorn, royal icing flowers, silk butterflies dancing in a bc basket.
Pink MMF, white bc. Did this before I learned anything about cake boards. I'm still learning...
Basketweave in pink and red bc, heart filled with heart shaped sprinkles.
Basket weave sides done in bc, flowers in royal icing.

One of my early cakes for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I was so proud of it, but she started crying when she saw it because she thought we were going to eat her barbie! It's a cute story now....
My son wanted a bridge for his train set. The train and bridge toppers are real ones to add to his collection. I tried to design a way to include the toys in his simple cake. You should've seen his face when he saw it!
Made for my son. Fondant covered with bc accents/piping. Dove made of fondant.
Made for a sweet little girl who loves ponies, the topper is a toy she can keep. All buttercream.
