My sister brought me a photo my niece Hannah picked out for her birthday, not sure where she got it, but thank you for the inspiration. These little fairies were fun to make. Just used fondant and painted on their little smiley faces.
Dark brown trunk, dark red berries and/or flowers with a cherry tree look... was the request for this cake. 8" chocolate w/chocolate buttercream filling and a 6" yellow with raspberry filling. All decorations are fondant. Flowers were hand painted. It is for a bridal shower so on one of the main branches it has J + L surrounded by a heart.
Basically she just said... It should have a giraffe, well jungle theme, well a giraffe, just do what you want as long as it has a giraffe. I struggled with them for a while today getting the proportions right on their heads, and it was so warm they kept drooping, but I really love how they turned out.
For a friend's birthday... she loves penguins.
For my daughter Jessica's birthday. She loves rubber ducks and has quite a collection. The boards are chocolate clay, the duck is fondant, everything else is buttercream. Thank you to numerous CC'ers for inspiration. Love this site and all the creativity.
Chocolate cake with pecan carmel filling. Covering in buttercream and ganache.
The only thing they really specified was the blue and "some" flowers. Bottom 8" tier is yellow with chocolate ganache filling, top 6" tier is chocolate cake with chocolate ganache mixed with crushed chocolate cookies. It really is good, as I had some of the scraps. :) It did take quite a few hours to make all the little blossoms but I really like how it turned out.
Loved doing this cake. Thank you to many cc'ers for inspiration,
For a party I am going to tomorrow. I had left over black from the zebra stripes I did on yesterday's cake so I wanted to try this idea inspired by TammyRiley's cake I saw today. I am really pleased with how this turned out. I had no exact plan, just cut the flowers and leaves and started placing them randomly.
Yellow cake with strawberry filling. Was pleased that the drawing I did for the client matched well with the final cake. Lesson learned, do the lettering first on the band around the second layer. Wasn't pleased how that one part turned out.
For my mom's birthday. Learned a lot on this, just sort of flew by the strings of my apron. Chocolate cake with carmel pecan filling.
For Jacob. Fondant covered three layer cake. Tree trunk is modeling chocolate, leaves and grass buttercream, gum paste baby, apples and flowers. The initials carved in the tree trunk are the grandparents and parents of baby Jake. I learned so much making this and can't wait to take it to my grandson's baby shower.
Just got my new baby mold. LOVE it. This was my practice baby, but she turned out so sweet, I will save her in case I get an order for a girl cake soon. I will be making a boy for the baby shower of my 1st grandson this weekend. I will probably do that tomorrow. Thank you to Kassie11 for her help tutorial. :) http://cakecentral.com/articles/683/how-to-make-a-gumpaste-baby-with-mold
Fondant covered chocolate cake with strawberry filling. Flowers and leaves are buttercream, rest is fondant. For my first grandson's homecoming from the hospital. Thank you to the many CCers for the inspiration on this cake.
The monsters got a little confused... when I said Mother's Day they thought Monster's Day and they just started eating. Happy Day to all the mom's I love, especially mine who can take her revenge on the candy clay monsters who took nibbles out of her cake, by taking nibbles out of them. Strawberry cake with buttercream icing. Thank you to catws for the inspiration.
For my sister's birthday. My nieces fought over who got to eat the turtle.
1st attempt at marshmallow fondant. Was fun to do. The scrolls are buttercream.
