Inspiration from the many Elmo cakes that have already been done. I used buttercream frosting with mereguine powder to help stiffen it. I have included the unfrosted pics too of rice crispy treats dowels supported Elmo. (Well I tried to include that picture but the control freaks on the website won't allow step pictures and removed it.) The little boy who was 3 absolutely loved the cake.
My first fondant cake. I used Marshmallow Fondant.....yeah. The black however I had a hard time with because I added coco powder and I think it made ti tooooooo dry. It fell apart etc. I had to piece the edges up thus the green edging to hide. First time to make ribbon roses too. Was fun to make...why start small....tackle a big one and a small cake is easy.
This was for a friends mothers 80th birthday. I got the idea from an old wiltons cake book. The flowers are fondant on florist wire.
When my son was 3 he loved veggie tales. I took an image of bob and larry from the veggies tales and shrunk it down to the right size. I then cut out each bob and larry. Then put the faces on them.
When my son was 3 he loved veggie tales. I took an image of bob and larry from the veggies tales and traced it on the cake then used the star tip to fill it in.
I have boys so I welcomed my neighbors request to do her daughters birthday cake. Princess and girly. The jewelry is a cheap set I picked up at the store. The plus she could wash it off and use it later.
I made the tiaras by melting almond bark and using candy coloring of purple. Then I piped the tiara pattern onto strips of parchment paper. I then carefully moved the strip in a curved holder (for a lack of a better word) and popped them in the freezer to set. When set I stood them up and added the candy pearls to the points of the tiaras using the melted colored almond bark. I think they were a hit of the preschool for my neighbors little girls birthday.
This is my take on a few cakes I found images for. The accents are made out of fondant. The fondant worked best with crisco.
My sons birthday is in October and he wanted a halloween the cupcakes he took to school. I found a ghost shape I liked on line and printed it out. Then I piped melted almond bark and filled it in on parchment paper on a cook sheet. Put it in the freezer until they harden. Added the eyes and mouth and then stood them upright on the cupcakes.
I found the instructions for this cake on the web. Mine was my first attempt of a 3-d cake and fondant. http://sandra-socake.blogspot.com/2007/04/yoda-cake-instructions.html
I made 200 cupcakes for a wedding. They wanted 4 different types of cake and then I decorated them 4 different ways. They displayed them on elevated glass cake plates as the table decorations. The hearts I made of almond bark colored with red coloring for candy. I printed out hearts and then traced the hearts on parchment paper. The flowers were fondant cut outs with a edible pearl in the center.
This cake had navy blue ribbon and piping with decorative pearl strand on edges. Navy blue is a hard color to get. The flowers added the finishing touches.
The lion matched the invitation of a first birthday for a friends son.
For a "take two" (second marriage) I made this cake for my friends bridal shower. The flowers and shells are from the dollar store.
I made this cake for my sons 4th birthday. He is a Handy Manny fanatic. The tools are colored fondant wrapped around dowels and formed into tools shapes.
