RKT w/marshmallow fondant. It was fun to do!
Baseball made from RKT and covered in marshmallow fondant. Of course the idea came from this site! Thank you!
For my friend's son who turned 4. :) Much improved over my first batman cake March of last year.
For my daughter's 4th birthday.
This is for my dear friend's little girl's 4th birthday. Marshmallow fondant (I love it!) and gumpaste flowers. It was alot of fun to make and I am now a marshmallow fondant convert. TFL. The topper is the candle my friend bought for the cake.
I posted this yesterday, then while looking at the photo realized I had forgotten to add her feet! So here it is again with feet added. All fondant.
Fondant and gumpaste decorations.
Made in a super hurry for my nephew. He doesn't speak spanish but I messed up the english part of the caution tape!
My dear grandmother died on Good Friday, just 3 days shy of her 93rd birthday. She was an AMAZING gardner up until she went into the hospital, and loved all things butterflies...this was for her "Celebration of Life" luncheon we held following the service. Flowers and butterflies are gumpaste/fondant.
I wanted to keep it simple, so this was it. It was so much fun! Thanks to all the amazing froggy cakes on this board. I used Duff's fondant for the first time and like it more than Wilton's. Tastes better too. My fondant is still super lumpy, but I am working on it. Lemon cake with raspberry jam and buttercream. The little cattails are just loli sticks colored green and the brown part is vodka and gel painted onto the fondant. I used ribbon around the bottom because I am lazy and cannot make pretty and clean edges on the bottom yet. Thanks for looking. It was fun and my boy loved it.
Made for my neghbor. Buttercream with fondant (the black is Duff which I really like). the game (against the Steelers) was terrible, but the cake was tasty.
Did this as a gift for friend's little girl who turned 4. So much fun!!!
Made for my co-worker's son's 13th birthday. Used Duff's black fondant--really liked it but it is pricey. Still, the fondant tasted ok and was easy to work with.
Almond buttercream and lemon cake. She wanted a Ravens football theme, but I didn't have the emotional energy to do anything more than this because I just got laid off! So I did purple and yellow.
It was my first time making gumpaste anything and learned alot. The fondant was bumpy as I didn't put enough buttercream underneath. The cake part was delicious--lemon betty crocker cake with 4 eggs (thanks to CC suggestions on improving box mix). People thought it was homemade. Orange ribbon--also my future go to method--easy and pretty. TFL! It was fun for me to make!

I wanted something quick easy and pretty. This fit the bill.
For a friend who liked the first one. She wanted it girlier though. This is MMF (a little lumpy) and fondant flowers.

Done for my co-worker who loves owls and is having a baby girl. My first fondant covered cake. All the inspiration of the colors, the owls, and the paisleys came from here. I was super proud of this cake. Still need to learn to roll the fondant thinner.
I hated this cake. I hated making it. It just got worse and worse as it went along and was no fun. It was for my husband's annual family picnic. The disjonted tree limbs, the terrible icing job (I attempted to smooth it with the paper towel). Anyway, the effort was appreciated and I learned alot.
This is my 4th decorated cake and my first stacked cake. BC frosting (I tried the paper towel smoothing technique and screwed that up), fondant alien (made him too far ahead), and other fondant decorations. It was so much fun, though, and a great learning experience--i.e. little fondant balls are a pain to make and impossible to make all the same size, and don't put the topper on too soon (it makes the car ride a nighmare)! it was 100 degrees that day and the whole cake almost melted in my hands from the car into the house, but my friend loved it and it tasted good and I had a blast. TFL!
My first ever decorated cake and I was so proud of it. I have only done 4 so far but this one was so fun to make and frustrating too. I had great visions of how it would look, but of course this fell way short. Still, I enjoyed the coloring process and learning things like you CANNOT make black anything, it should be bought! I worked on this for so long, this little cake, and was so proud! :) It tasted good, anyhow!
She wanted a pink and purple barbie cake and so she got it. I bought a Wilton pan but some pieces were missing from the box, so I just used 2 glass bowls. The frosting is homemade buttercream and the decorations are fondant. I cut the flowers too thick but for my first barbie cake I was pleased and it was a LOT of fun. I wrapped barbie's legs in plastic and cut a hole for her and stuck her in. I bought the barbie with the bodice painted on because I was not going to attempt that. Thanks for all the lovely barbies cakes here on CC for inspiration and instruction!
This was my first ever attempt to model anything besides playdough cookies for my 3 year old. The figure and veggies are fondant. Of course the dirt is oreo. It is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I had so much fun and boy did I learn ALOT! This is the 3rd cake I have attempted and I think I am addicted.
