This was a yellow crayon with a bite taken out for my mom's birthday. It seems a little unusual but when she was a little girl she ALWAYS tried to eat the yellow crayon from the box, but it never tasted so good, her favorite color is still yellow. It has been a family joke for years and I wanted to make her a specail cake for her 50th birthday. The party theme was "50 and FUN". The cake was a chocolate cake roll fille with cheesecake bavarian cream. It was sliced and served with a chocolate cookie, chocolate syrup, ice cream and a fruit sish-kabob at her birthday tea party. It was a lot of fun!!! It was covered with MMF and the "paper" under it was MMF too. Very easy to make, about 1 1/2 hours.
This was a fun and quick cake. Chocolate cake with easy bavarian cream in the middle and BC and MMF on the top. It was airbrushed and the fence and tractor was hand painted.
This was so much fun to make and easy too. The frog was chocolate cake covered with MMF. I added shimmer and pink on the lips. The lilly pad and lilly was MMF and the cake was covered in BC.
This was fairly quick and easy to make. It along with many of my other cakes will be in my How-To cake decorating book, to be published by the end of the year.
This was all hand painted onto a sheet of MMF.
This cake was made for a little girl's strawberry shortcake themed birthday party. The chocolate cake was filled and covered with BC. For the picture on the top I rolled out a sheet of MMF and painted on it with edible colors. Painting on MMF it a little tricky, but I'm getting used to it. It doesn't leave much room for error.
This cake was painted to match the party invite. It was a chocolate cake with BC in the middle and on the outside. I rolled out a thin piece of MMF and painted on it with edible paints. Once the top was painted, I airbrushed the sides and edges of the top and lastly added the borders and sprinkles. They loved it because it matched all their decorations.
This was made for a guy who hit a deer while riding his bicycle on his birthday. It was a red velvet cake with MMF and gumpaste figures.
This was made for my Dad's 50th birthday. I used gummy worms, frogs and sweedish fish just for fun. The 'dirt' was ground chocolate cake crumbs with samshed heath bars. The cake was a hazelnut, yummm.
This was made as a donation for a local fundraiser. I used six 9X13 cakes to make it. The figures were made of gum paste. I airbrushed wooden boards and screws onto the barn. It was fun and got a lot of response.
This cake was a lot of fun and fairly easy too. It was a butter pecan cake with butter becan BC and vanilla MMF. The "dirt" was dried chocolate cake crumbs, pecans and heath bars ground together, yumm. The flowers were gum paste or fondant. The cake board was covered with MMF then etched and painted to look like slats of wood. This was so fun to make and so far I think it's my favorite of my cakes.
I spent way too much time on this cake, but I was having so much fun. I love to paint!! I made the bird bath and blue bird with gum paste. I used a combo of B.C. and M.M.F. and gum paste
I was ran out of time when I was working on this cake and I wish I would have been able to finish!! I was in SUCH A HURRY to get it done that my work got sloppy, but my customer really loved it. I wanted many more detials but it is okay I guess.
This was a chocolate cake baked in a guitar shaped pan. I filled and covered it with chocolate buttercream then I used raspberry buttercream to pipe and decorate the top.
This was a chocolate cake filled with double chocolate and chocolate shavings. Then it was iced with chocolate buttercream and covered with fondant. The face was hand painted so no, it's not perfect. Once I painted it I covered it with celo and airbrushed the rest of the cake black. The "Raiders" letters were made of white chocolate. My customer loved it.
A fun treat for the beach. They were iced in royal icing and painted with food coloring.
These turned out so pretty! And the roses sit on top of yummy homemade whiped cream. The roses are made from butter cream and finished with some sprinkles.
These were made to match the purple princess cake that I made. I just put purple and pink frosting in one bag and swirled it on with a large star tip, then a few sprinkles and a pick.
This was for my son's first birthday. He loved the "Ice Age" movies and this was a cute scene when 'Scrat' got his head stuck in the ice. The "ice" was made of poured sugar that was tinted blue, then I placed it on dowels so it was sitting a few inches above the "water". I painted little sugar cubes to look like ice cubes with the acorn. The cake was covered with butter cream and air brushed. The little 'Scrat' was made of cake and fondant, but my cake wasn't sturdy enough so as he sat there he got fatter and fatter, Next time I will use a pound cake. It was a real trick trying to get his arms to stay up around the ice.
This is a fun Christmas cake. The middle was red velvit and cream cheese covered in fondant. I hand painted to fondant to look like the holiday theme so that the cake would still look really good even when the Santa was removed. The Santa was chocolate sponge cake and I had a bit of trouble carving it because I couldn't find my 3D pan that I wanted to use, but he turned out really cute. I tried to add detial to his face with rosey cheeks and nose. My customer loved it.
This was a whimsicle cake for a fun loving person. The top is air brushed fondant and the sides were butter cream that was air brushed. Then I cut out fondant diamonds that I stamped and painted and I stuck them to the butter cream.
This was my first 3D cake and I was very pleased with it. It was huge with 6 cakes baked and carved. It took me a long time but it was a lot of fun! I made it because my local newspaper wanted to do a profile on me and I wanted to show my town what I could do ( even though I wasn't sure I could). The dragon and stump were both cake. For the dragon I started with a 3D cake mold for a rubber duck, but you would never know it :). The stump was fun because it didn't have to be perfectly smooth, after all it was to look like bark. The best part of this cake was the air brushing, I LOVE to airbrush. The only not edible parts to this cake was a dowel in the limb and the cake board. I did a lot of little detials out of fondant, butterflies, mushrooms and ladybugs. I also got really detailed with the dragon and went as far to paint little tiny toe nails sticking out from under her belly.
This was a cake for a halloween party. The cake was marbled with red and black food coloring and filled with raspberry jam and black frosting, It was coated in butter cream and fondant. I then airbrushed the fondant and added royal icing for the black drips. Butter cream held the skulls in place and it was also used for the border. I have had so many people request this cake for events that I wouldn't usually make it for, graduation and birthdays. It is one of my most popular cakes to my suprise.
This cake took a little while to mold and paint all the figures out of fondant, but it was well worth it. It was covered with fondant that was tinted with blue that wansn't mixed in all the way to give it the wave look. The only not edible part is the turtle shell, but next time I'll make it out of chocolate.
Covered with all butter cream and finished with a fondant, hand painted fish tail and a few fake leaves. This was a birthday cake for my sister who loves to fish. The airbrushing got a litttle dark, if I make this cake again I will use a tan spray.
This was a fast birthday cake that was two layers of rich moist sponge cake with double chocolate filling and covered with fondant. I then painted on it with food coloring. This kind of a cake could be fun to make and let children paint on it. I would love to know who is looking at my cakes and what you think... good or bad. So I encourage you to leave me a comment. Thanks :)
