Made this this afternoon for my 2 year old's birthday... he woke up early from his nap though so I didn't get to spend much time making the rug...so I just kinda twisted some fondant and airbrushed it. If I were to make this for a customer I'd spend more time on the details.
Just an Xbox cake made for a customer. Carved, covered in greyish fondant, and airbrushed light silver. I hand painted the darker areas...should have used darker tinted fondant but my black was looking too blue (ran out of Americolor and was using Wilton) and the paint was the color I wanted...however b/c of that the dark parts do not have a very smooth finish.
This was made to match a birthday plate... my paws ended up funny b/c I misjudged where the border would be...oops.... but anyway...cake background and sides are airbrushed...design was traced in freehand using a skewer and then filled in with icing.
A customer requested I replicate this cake from "sugarbuzzcakes" except with a different color bow, etc. I still wish I could get my bottom edges perfectly straight but I was fairly happy with how the large bow turned out. The setup serves around 70 party size slices.
These were a little time consuming for being such small cakes ( the car is a slightly modified Wilton car, but the truck is cut out of a 9x13)...and I even cut some corners to make it go faster....no pun intended?
My second try at a Tiffany box, I have the worst time trying to make a clean, neat lid!!!! Maybe someday....
This was kinda fun, although the lid was a pain..... I think the kids will really like the "treasure" inside!
This mom always challenges my creativity haha...last year her animal loving son wanted a cheetah...this year a falcon which is his favorite animal. This cake has an inch wide dowel and a small platform to support the fattest part of the falcon.
A customer found this castle on some "how to do your own party" site and insisted she wanted one exactly like it...so I obliged. My dh says its ugly haha...I hope she likes it ok. There are supposed to be toy knights on it but she is going to provide those. The only other thing is on the site it said you could just put flags on toothpicks and stick them on the top of the coated cone. Yeah right...it breaks the cone! Hope she isn't disappointed but I just had to change that part.
Customer ordered a castle cake from my site and I was sick of the one I had so I made what I think are some improvements and then put the new pix on my website as well. Hope she does not mind!
Just finished this for a customer....tombstone is cake, other stuff is fondant. Airbrush came in handy today.
This is for a customer who wanted a musical theme for her child's first birthday... we came up with the idea together. The bottom part is done in fondant but the bear is of course buttercream. The bow is just ribbon, I like that look for some reason. The instruments are fondant.
Common design, I know, but my first! I had trouble with the handles, am gonna have to perfect that next time, definately.
Just a smurf house I made for a customer.
This is a cake we made at work, my boss and I worked together on it. It serves about 140 people. We had the maintenence guy build and paint the stand after we diagrammed it all out. The front drum has a hidden stand so that most of the cake is supported flat, and then there's a little cake underneath the stand. The cymbals are fondant. The logo, we cut it out of paper and airbrushed around it. It did bleed through a little. It was alot of work but we think the customer will be delighted.
Just finished these for a regular customer... the snowman design is one the customer found on "Freed's Bakery"'s website in Las Vegas and wanted. Merry Christmas all!
This cake is hand sculpted and I also used an inner stand to support the hat. Used a couple layers of fondant. I really should document how I do these because people ask and I really can't say...I just cut until it looks ok and then decorate as I go following a picture. Sometimes they turn out good, other times not. Thanks for looking.
You can't tell in the photo but this ended up kind of messy...I ended up with pearl and silver dust everywhere. I should have just airbrushed it but worried that the mint or lemon extract would flavor the cake, so tried to blow it from my hand. OOPS. Plus I realize now the fret board should be black, not dark brown. Oh well. Everything is BC except the little tuning dials, and the strings which are spaghetti.
This was supposed to be 20 servings but it ended up pretty huge! Probably feeds over 40. Yikes! I got carried away I guess. I had to make a stand for it to support the head so once I did that I had to go with it. I also wish the bottom of the dress looked neater...but overall I think the customer should be pleased enough tomorrow.
My boss and I worked on this one together today. Got the inspiration from Cake Corner.
I made this at work with the help of someone else. We both worked on making the cat...I made the top of the pumpkin and he made the bottom. He made the bottom sides and I hand painted the scene and did the spider webs and ghosts. This was a wedding cake for a bride who told us she was having a Halloween wedding but that we could choose what to do for her cake. So we had fun. The photo of the cat part came out a bit dark...I think I need fresh batteries in my camera.
Just a wedding cake I did at work last week.
This was requested instead of a large wedding cake. I made 60 of them. They are yellow cake with strawberry preserves and a whipped icing recipe I learned where I work... it is very soft but smooths real nice. I used a putty knife to smooth, I love that tool! The monograms are a yellowish royal painted gold. The cake was cut using a 3.5" cutter and then iced, and the box is 5" around.
Cut out of two 9x13 chocolate cakes (chocolate crumbs ugh!)... Its hard to get all the colors completely smooth but the photo hides some of that.
Made this for a friend, she was having a walk in party for her job so I took the logo and made small edible images, and then made pre-cut cake squares. I figured since it was walk-in, if I made a whole decorated cake, that the first person to eat it would be the only one to see the design! This way, everyone got to see the design even if they came in later.
This just for a customer whose son requested a purple rocket with red writing and fire coming out, flying through space.
