The horse is rice treats covered in modeling chocolate. The wings are rice paper and the mane and tail are gumpaste.
I made this cake for a Thanksgiving potluck. Vanilla cake with caramel filling and almond buttercream. I piped the flower using the petal technique (pipe a dot and flatten it using a spatula. For more photos check out my blog: http://amberscakecreations.blogspot.com/2011/11/thanksgiving-cake.html
I made this cake for my friend's daughter's wedding. They wanted a vintage theme and wanted to incorporate her great-grandmother's and his great grandmother's broaches. I did my best to re-create the broaches in white chocolate and poured sugar (first time ever). The fondant has been textured. Thanks for looking!
I made this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I saw the frosting technique done by others on this site and I decided to give it a try too... so easy! The cake is all buttercream. II also wanted to try hand painting butterflies. I hope you like it!
I made this cake for my friend's son's wedding reception (married in another state and had a reception here for those who could not attend). Definitely the hardest cake I have done yet, just because it is hard to get cakes covered flawlessly! I used a vanilla-almond candy to make a "ganache" to cover the cakes before covering in fondant. Sugar flowers were hand-made and then airbrushed.
I made this cake for a farewell party for one of our pastors and their family. All the figures and accessories represent someone in their family. The Christmas lights were working; the string was fondant/gumpaste mix, and the lights themselves were dipped in white chocolate and airbrushed to get different colored lights. The sheet of music was hand painted on gum paste. All the stickers were done in color flow.
I was asked to make this cake for a book club right around Mother's day. I added gum paste pages on both sides and made all the sugar roses. The Bookmark is fondant with some burgundy luster dust added for depth. I was really happy with how everything turned out.
I made this one for my birthday. I just wanted to play around and see what I would do with just piping. This was my first attempt at string work too.
I made this cake for the grand opening of my friend's book store, Damascus Road. It was my first time doing a book, first time carving a road, and my first time piping that much verbage on a cake! Oh, and my first time using the airbrush on a cake. Lots of firsts on this one.
I made this for my friend's baby shower. I was happy that the stripes came out straight!
I made this wedding cake for my first competition. Gum paste flower topper, the separator was modeling chocolate and gum paste. All details were piped with royal icing.
This is a cake that I made for my friend's baby shower. It is based on the crib bedding that she liked.
The ruffles and stars were made with MMF with added gum-tex. The disco ball is a rice crispy treat covered in a 50/50 fondant gumpaste mix.
The tractor is 6 layers high with pudding filling, separated in two places by layers of cake board for ease of serving. Covered with MMF and gumpaste accents. You can't really tell in this photo, but the trailer has hay-bales stacked in the back. This was made for a 3yo's birthday.
Fondant pearls with gumpaste roses.
This was my first time doing basket weave on a cake. The Dark brown is a chocolate buttercream, the tan is the standard Wilton BC with some of the chocolate mixed into it, and all the flowers are RI. The butterflies are color flow.
All of the hearts are done inlay style, cut to fit. I can't count how many hours this one took me to finish. I do like the way it came out though.
I am so happy with how this one came out!
This was my final cake for the Wilton class 1. Since Easter was just a few days away I decided to make it an Easter cake.
I was just playing with fondant and possibilities. This was before I read that it is difficult to cover a chocolate cake with white fondant =o) I am pretty happy with the way it came out.
I made this cake for a friend's birthday. The letters are out of gumpaste, and that was first time I ever worked with it.
