Birthday Cake for a friend of my daughter. She had a horse riding party. Chocolate cake covered in fondant. Horse is made of chocolate modelling plastic. I dusted with cocoa powder. Royal icing flowers.
Oh my goodness - this cake made me so nervous! I had to get this to stand verticle! I used cake borrds in between each verticle layer and lollipop sticks for support. The guitar neck has a dowel rod to support. Covered in fondant. Chocolate ganache butterceam over chocolate chip cookie cake! I used aninexpensive easle from IKEA for the stand (had to hot glue a cake board to the bottom section of the easle to support the cake)
Birthday cake for a GA Tech fan!
Made this for a 40th birthday for a friend. Thanks for all the inspiration here on CC, especially to member Mom23Angels' design, which I modelled my cake after. I used MMF to cover the cakes, and used for the Las vegas sign. the dominos are from a chocolate mold (the birthday man loves dominos), the cards are edible rice wafer paper, the poker chips and dice are fondant. The cake is chocolate chip cookie cake from a recipe here on CC and was a big hit, also strawberry cake for top layer with white chocolate ganache buttercream. Yum!
I made this for a friend for a chrch luncheon. Buttercream with royal icing flowers.
Made this for a tennis friend of mine! Used oval pans, covered with findant, tennis ball is buttercream, and I used my pasta "press" to make the strings! Thanks to CC members for all the tennis cake inspiration on the site!!!
Made this for a 40th birthday. A friend who drinks crown and coke co-hosted the party. he is on the one side drinking C&C and "welcoming" the new 40 year old to being "over" the hill!
Inspired by last years sailing cake competition winner, karensue, my first attempt at a pirate cake.
Thank you to Sonya3007 and Sweetresults for th inspiration for these cupcakes and cake! Top is styrofoam and fondant (I normally don't make anything unedible on my cakes, but the mom-to-be wants to keep the topper)! Everything else is vanilla, chocolate, buttercream and fondant!
Gingerbread cookies with color flow icing attached to branches with royal icing and placed in a vase with ribbin and m n m's!
I made this for a friends daughter's birthday - they have a dachund and wanted her re-created in cake! Thanks to all the cc members for inspiration!
Thank you so much to CC member underthesun for this sweet idea! inspiration: http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1916794 This was for a baby shower for a gal who was adopting a baby girl fro Korea, so I added some dark hair and made some pigtails. This is nowhere near as good as the original, but with practice hopefully my next one will be better! :-)
Did this for a firend to take to a baby shower. cupcakes and cake!
Did this cake for a friend's daughter's birthday. Used a bell shaped pan for the skirt and placed the whole doll cake on top of a 10" round. Fondant, buttercream
I made this cake for a friend of a friend's 50th birthday - so relived she liked it! Each tier represents a part of the birthday girls life. She loved horses as a child, so the bottom layer is horses. She raced chevelles, (2nd layer up), her time as a mother and grandmother (yellow tier), she became an EMT (2nd to top), and her motto is no matter what, when you have the choice to sit or dance, always dance! Sounds like a great lady.....
I actually broke the top of this cake before I displyed it! I quickly piped in some grass and put the top part of the house, which was still intact, in the cake.
Made this cake in honor of my in-laws visiting us from Holland. It is not exactly how I envisioned it, but I think it turned out okay. I clearly need a new 8" square pan (mine is all bent out of shape - booh)! Anyway, the three tiers are the Dutch flag (red, white, blue), and the flowers are all done in various shades of orange (oranje). And I wrote "welcome" in Dutch. :-)
Okay, so I already made one of these (see my other cakes), but my son decided he wanted another one for toy story 3! Before you say, "How many kids are coming to this party?!", the bottom two tiers are dummy cakes! :-) Bottom layer,- andy's clouds, second layer up - woody's shirt, third layer up - woody's red bandana, top layer- cow print from woody's vest! I a a fir believer in everything being edible on a cake, including the figures, but in this case my sculpting abilities were just not good enough, at least not yet, so I used store bought figures. the only real advantage is the birthday boy gets to keep them! :-) I did the writing in royal icing in a disney font. Thanks for looking! :-)
Made this cake for my son's t-ball end of year party! I was going to add a baseball bat, ball and glove, but I am not used to working with rice cereal treats as a sculpting tool, so left the cake like this. The cake was VERY heavy, and while I used several dowels, I have the feeling it sank a bit. Oh well, I really enjoyed making it, and it was great practice! :-)
Thanks to all the great sponge bob ideas here on CC! I used weddin-style dowels to keep sponge bob from faling down. I used Royal Icing to "cement" the dowels to the fondant covered cake board, then slid the cake over the dowels, iced and covered in fondant. It's not technically perfect, but hope the bithday girl likes it! :-)
Did this for a colleague of my husband who had been at the company for 10 years. All chocolate cake with cookies n cream filling. Covered with MMF, gingersnap lollipop cookies decorted with fondant.
Made this cake for my neighbor's boyfriend who loves BMW. It is an explosion of chocolate. The BMW symbol is brownie!
oops, I accidentally deleted this earlier! Here it is again! top layer is confetti cake with vanilla buttercream, middle is chocolate/marble/golden yellow cake with chocolate buttercream, bottom is a dummy. Findant covered, top is buttercream wh royal icing apple blossoms I made days earlier. Also used isomalt for jewels, candy melts for make-up, fondant shoe and beads. My daughter loved it!
Saw this in a book and loved it! Not perfect, but happy with the result! Strawberry Cake and white chocolate buttercream filling for top layers, french vanilla with cookies and cream for bottom layers. Box top is cake board covered in fondant with fondant bow. Candy is real chocolate! :-)
