This is the cake I made for the USMC Birthday in 2013. Golden butter cake with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, covered in fondant. All is edible except the brim of the hat, which is cardboard covered in fondant.
Taking my love of cooking for people & combining with artistic ability. Self-taught aside from basic decorating courses. This was my first sculpted cake and 4th cake in general (August 2010.) Decided to try Yoda from Star Wars since I'm a fan :)
This cake was for the boyfriend of a girl I work with. He's a duck hunter and she asked me to make this specific duck, the hooded merganzer, and also his camo-shotgun. The cake is red velvet, the icing is cream cheese frosting (also this for the filling), the duck is Rice Krispie treats covered in fondant and the gun is several plastic cake supports covered in fondant.
I made this small 2-tiered cake for a woman's 70th birthday. The cake is vanilla orange with a coconut cream filling. She is an amazing quilter and also raises guinea fowl. The top tier design was based on one of her quilts. The bottom tier is covered with hand painted feathers of the guinea fowl, with the white dots piped on top of the painted feathers.
This is a cake I made for 2 girls who were turning 10. Neither of them are very girly and both love to read. I decided to make my first book cake and make up a story about each girl incorporating thinks they love to do. The left half is French vanilla cake with a strawberry cream filling and the right half is red velvet with cream cheese filling. Covered in marshmallow fondant. Hand painted the book borders and the girls' names. The stories are edible image prints. It was my first time to use the edible images too. Didn't blend in as well as I'd hoped, not sure I did it exactly right.
I made this Super Mario Galaxy cake for a friend's son's birthday. The planet domes are cake, the water is colored piping gel, the house is rice cereal treats and Mario and the star are a gum paste/fondant mix. All covered in fondant and hand painted. This was a fun cake to make!
This is the Hellboy cake I made for the Showcake category for That Takes The Cake 2011 in Austin, TX. I'm a beginner with no work cake experience and have only been making cakes since August of 2010 and this was my first show competition entry so I was super happy to place in the top 10! I placed 8th. :) He started to come apart pretty early on, poor Hellboy! I learned so much at the show and it was so fun! His forearms and head are rice cereal treats and the rest is Devil's Food cake (which I thought was perfect for Hellboy) and he is covered in homemade marshmallow fondant.
A gluten-free 3-tiered cake made for a yoga studio staff party. Went for a plaster-look rough cream cheese icing and filling on a vanilla chai tea cake. With stargazer lilies, plumeria and moth orchids. Made the gum paste flowers "freehand" with no cutters or veiners, teaching myself to make them through trial and error and looking at photos of the real flowers. I am so happy with how they all came out.
This is the cake I made for a friend for her birthday. It is a 4 layer, 6" round, gluten-free vanilla cake with cream cheese icing and a gum paste Stargazer Lily (her favorite flower.) I went with a rough-iced look that I've been seeing done on cakes. I also made the gum paste flower. It was my first ever gum paste flower to make and I was so happy with it and she got to keep it. :)
I made this cake of the Mach 5 from Speed Racer for a friend for his birthday! I'm so happy with how it turned out. It's alternating layers of yellow and butter pecan cake with cream cheese icing that has chopped walnuts in it and then all covered in marshmallow fondant and hand painted. The tires are rice cereal treats covered in the fondant.
This is a cake I made of the character Spoils the Clown from The Haunt House in Caddo Mills, TX. This was my 5th sculpted cake and was so fun to make! It's Devil's Food cake covered in marshmallow fondant and hand painted.
I made this cake for a very good friend's October birthday, who is a huge horror and comic fan. This was made custom to look like him. It was a surprise for him and he absolutely loved it. The tombstone is red velvet cake covered in fondant. The zombie is red velvet cake covered in fondant. The fingers are all fondant and the grass/ground is fondant. The dirt is made from chocolate sandwich cookies (minus their cream layer) and ginger snaps ground up in the food processor. It was hand painted with gel food colorings mixed like watercolors.
This is the Halo cake I made for my nephew for his 14th birthday. He got the new Halo Reach game for his birthday so I made him a cake of Noble 6 from that game. The cake is a strawberry cake and the shoulders (and it's unseen neck) are rice krispie treats and it's all covered in marshmallow fondant and then carved/detailed and hand painted. Then I piped on the happy birthday message and Halo logo in buttercream. This is my 3rd sculpted/3D cake. I've been making cakes since August 2010 and so far I'm loving it!
This is the cake I made for my nephew Cole, who absolutely LOVES to fish! I also made lures, sinkers and bobbers out of gum paste and put them on cupcakes. The fish is rice cereal treats covered in fondant then textured and carved and hand painted. The water is strawberry cake covered in blue buttercream. This was my 2nd sculpted/3D cake. It was so fun to make!
Taking my love of cooking for people & combining with artistic ability, getting into cake decorating. Self-taught so far but starting basic decorating classes soon. This is my first try at making a sculpted cake. This is the 4th cake I've ever decorated. The 2nd one to involve stacking and 2nd one to involve making and using fondant (1st two were single layer buttercream with piping designs.) Pretty sure I've found my passion! My 5th cake will be another sculpted, haven't decided what yet.
