3D Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic. Head and front legs are Rice Krispy Treats. I used two 10" rounds, one 8" round, one 7" round, and one 6" round make the body.
Purple and Pink Softball cake. (My camera really didn't capture it's true colors) I made this for a friends daughter after she had seen it on Pinterest. I didn't change anything from the original as it was already perfect for the birthday girl as is. 11X15 & Wilton sports ball pan.
Wellsboro Hornets varsity football. 9X13. Helmet is half sports ball pan, 6X2, and 6X1. Face-guard is gum paste. Hornet is a FBT.
Harry Potter's Sorting Hat. 4 layers, 8,7,6,5 inch rounds. Rice crispy treats formed into a cone makes the top of the hat. Rolls of fondant under the main layer of fondant make the wrinkles. I used special dark coco in my chocolate marshmallow fondant, so he's a shade darker than he should be.
Smurfette stand on her door step. Grumpy hovers over a tied up Garagamel, with Brainy Smurf. Azrael sneaks around to help Gargamel. Wash is hanging on the line. Papa discuses smurf berried with Gusty, while Clumsy waves. Smurf characters are toys. Everything else is made of fondant and gum paste with the exception of the rope, the clothes line string, and the #5 candle.
My attempt at Debbie Browns Tom & Jerry Cake from her book Cartoon Cakes. I had a bad cake day(s). The mallet had a tragic accident before making it to Tom's head, Plus the extra fur on Tom's head didn't make it either as my fondant was being quite disagreeable. But I'm pretty satisfied with how Jerry turned out.
Cupcakes for my daughters AYSO bake sale. Original design copied from missjane.
Mario themed cake made for my daughters 8th birthday. Lakitu hovers over a Pariah Plant coming out of a pipe. The next tier represents the New Super Mario Bros. Wii World 5. Bottom tier represents Mario Kart Wii's Rainbow Road. (I had a bad fondant day...)
Tangled cake I made for my daughters 4th birthday. Flowers represent the magical flower from the movie. I dusted them with pearl dust to give them a magical sparkle, although my camera was unable to capture it. The bottom is chocolate cake - I used Wiltons Dancing Daisy flower pan. Middle is RKT's. Top is 6" round strawberry cake. The pointy thinks are ice cream cones. I hand cut all the details out of fondant. Hand painted door. Little flowers are all piped little star flowers. Toys I purchased from the Disney Store. A central dowel rod goes through the entire cake, and attached to the base. I had originally made the center out of cake, but had to re-do it all changing it to RKT due to stability issues. I was unable to add as much detail as I would have liked due to time lost from the stability issues.
The Cat in the Hat made for my nephews 3rd birthday. All cake with the exception of the teapot which is RKT's. Hand painted. Many thanks to Nixacakelady for her inspiring cake and to her husband Larry for explaining how they made their adorable cake. Thanks guys! My nephew loved it!
Fun cake. Made for my brothers niece. MMF Fondant, brushed with blue Pearl Dust to capture the magic of the Cinderella story. Doll, bird, and mice are toys.
Chocolate cake, chocolate icing, chocolate fondant, with white chocolate shavings. Everything is edible but the label. Just wanted to make one of these after seeing so many in the gallery.
Made for my daughters 7th birthday. MMF & Buttercream. I had a bad cake day....icing separating and ball pattern not going together. Just a bad cake day :(. Cake inspired by CC members disubu soccer cake. Changed to my daughters choice of colors.
Made for my niece. Copied this cake from a photo I seen on Flickr. It was a big hit at the party and the birthday girl LOVED it! Buttercream decorated with fondant accents and gumpaste mushrooms.
Baby Belly Cake I made for my SIL. These always looked so fun, so I had to make one. If I could change one thing about this cake, it would be the cake board. I should have decorated it.
Made for my daughters 3rd Birthday. Inspiration came from the CC gallery. :-) Strawberry house is RKT. Cake is covered in MMF Fondant and butter cream. Strawberry house with Emme's age, leaf door mat, and flower door knob. Strawberry Shortcake is a candle. Strawberry house, bow, flowers and strawberries are all handmade. For me this was a challenging cake. I did enjoy the challenge though! What have I learned from this cake? Never show your children the CC gallery, instead hand them a wilton book! LOL
I made these for my 6 year old daughters Bake Sale for AYSO. 100% copied from cc'er missjane. I was looking for a challenge and I got one! LOL The shapes were all hand cut.
Cake I made for my mom's birthday. I copied this cake from Mich Turner's - Spectacular Cakes. It was a challenge for me! At times I really wanted to throw it out the window. It was a real challenge to get the ballerina and her bees on the cake. The instructions said to "scribe" it on the cake, but when I did I couldn't see it well enough to know where to paint. I ended up poking holes in the fondant. This also had other firsts for me like homemade buttercream, and MMF. I made Rhonda's Ultimate MMF - very yummy! My mom loved it so much more than the regular fondant I make.
Cake I made for my daughters Kindergarten Valentines party.
Thomas cake I made for my nephew. I had a lot of fun with this cake! :-) The design is all me! Yay me! :-D The sign says "--> Terrible Two's" and "<-- Superbowl"
4 Wheeler cake. I was asked to do a 4 wheeler cake in all chocolate. This is the best I could come up with. Two ideas were blatantly stolen from a fellow CCer - Dreamstocakes.
Kids New Years Cake. Last minute cake I did for my family. Really just an excuse to make and use fondant for the first time. Pretty disastrous! I need lots more practice. Hahaha My 6 year old suggested the stars to go around the cake to hide most of my imperfections. I was shocked at how good the fondant tasted, everyone liked it! I used this recipe http://thecookduke.com/fondant-recipe/
I made this for my oldest daughters Kindergarten class. It's her turn to bring in snack tomorrow (12/09/09) We're breaking the "healthy snack rule" so I could try a FBCT. Also bringing in 2% milk to balance out all the sugar. :-) Hopefully we wont get into too much trouble with her teacher. This cake also has edible glitter on it. :)
This is the first cake I ever designed myself. Yes, I know could have been better. I used the house wilton pan for the barn. The horse figures are Horseland figures that I found on clearance at Toysrus. This was for my daughters 6th birthday. Her age is on the barn door.
My oldest daughters 5th Birthday cake from 2008. Used Wilton pan.
