1/2 Sheet (double layered) yellow cake with a 2 layered 8" round tier on top in white. Cover in buttercream, with fondant camo, log, fishing basket. The hunter and deer were purchased on line. The trees are sugar ice cream cones upside down with green icing to look like trees. Was is light blue buttercream, then I took the Wilton spray in blue and made it darker.
2 tiered, Red Velvet cake with Butter Cream icing and fondant accents. The number is gumpaste. The photos of him are from little pack of cards (like baseball cards). I put each picture in the bottom corner of a sandwich bag and cut to size to protect it from the BC. Guitars are party favors from the store, as is the ribbon on top.
"Tub" is 10" round red velvet cake (5 layers). Popcorn is made from fondant, tinted a light yellow for butter effect. Red stripes are fondant as well.
Darth Vader birthday cake. 1/2 yellow, 1/2 white cake, BC icing. Mask is made of GP. I found a Darth mask at Party City, and draped GP over it and let it harden for a few days. I then put some candy underneath the mask when I put it on the cake - like a pinata....
Made for the Mustang Club that we belong too. 1/2 Chocolate, 1/2 yellow, BC icing and the mustang logo is from GP.
For a baby shower. Their theme was the line "Thirty-One" brand, using their print of "cheeky Monkey". I had not heard of the brand "Thirty-One" so a little research was involved. Cake was 1/2 yellow 1/2 white, with BC icing and elephants are MMF.
Cake based on the online-game, "Angry Birds". I had never heard of it before, so a little 'research' (and by that I mean game playing ;) ) had to be done for this one. Cake is yellow with bc icings. Boards and Slingshot are GP, and birds/'pigs?' are MMF. This was for a friend at work, and while it was sitting on the desk waiting to be enjoyed, another co worker (for some reason) decided he thought the box it was in was empty and flipped it over. Destroyed most of the icing work. I had to rush home at lunch, fix it as best possible, and bring it back to work. Luckily, the client had already seen the cake BEFORE the 'cake-tastrophy'.... and even had to ask me what I had done when I brought it back, so I must have been able to fix it pretty well....
Cake for a baby shower. Cake is 1/2 Chocolate with PB BC and 1/2 Strawberry with reg. BC icing. Monkey is made from RCT's and covered in modeling chocolate. 1st time using RCT and the chocolate, which I made from a recipe here on CC.
For a family reunion. Butter cream icing, 50/50 sugar paste/MMF mixture for cactus, hat and star. MMF road. Piped butter cream for clouds, fence.
Chocolate cake, Chocolate butter cream with Raspberry filling. MMF dots and bow - booties are real baby booties supplied by the grandma to be
Butter cream icing with sugarpaste roses.
1/2 sheet cake, butter cream icing with MMF detail. Nurses' hat is out of sugar paste.
Bottom tier is a 10" Chocolate, top is 8" Strawberry, butter cream icing with MMF accents. I found the beads at a local store and they worked perfectly. As an added surprise, I poked little plastic babies inside the baked cakes - 2 in each tier. Client LOVED it, especially the babies! Just glad I remembered to tell her! :)
1/2 Chocolate, 1/2 Strawberry, butter cream icing with tombstone, bones, moons in MMF. Pumpkin is Strawberry with BC icing, MMF accents. 1st time trying to carve something. Dirt at graves is black sugar. Sides are sprayed with ColorMist. Originally wanted BLACK, but when I saw it starting to look like stone, I stopped! :P
Dummy cake, made for portfolio only. Butter cream frosting, with some texture. Made cap out of Royal Icing. 1st Time using RI.
This is a Mother's day cake that I made this year. This is actually a dummy 10" cake. Butter Cream icing with Royal Icing daisey's. 1st time make the RI flowers. I didn't have a try to set them in to give them some lift, so they are a little flat. I "sent" it to my Mom over Facebook, since we are 6 hours apart and I wasn't able to see her.
