It's "s'more" Fun To Go Camping With Friends

This cake was made for a 9 year old boy who loves to go camping. 9" S'mores cake (graham cake, milk chocolate truffle filling, Marshmallow Fluff buttercream) on a 14" board. I used MMF to cover both the board and the cake. The trees, bears and sleeping bags are all fondant. The tent is a cereal treat covered in fondant. The pond is royal icing. The fire pit is a combo of fondant and buttercream (flames are swirled red and orange BC). Recipes were used from this site. Thanks for looking.

David, High School Graduation, June 2010

Here we have a 2-tier square cake; 10" and 8". The 10" is white cake with buttercream filling, buttercream frosting and MMF. The 8" is chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling, buttercream frosting and MMF. The school colors were black and gold, so I incorporated those colors in my stripe and star patterns. The cap is gumpaste and free standing (i.e. NO cake or RKT for support). The cake was a huge hit and definitely one of my favorites of my tiered cakes.

Simple Sweet 16, April 2009

11x15" vanilla cake with purple-tinted vanilla whipped cream. I used various star cookie cutters and made indentations in the corners and filled them in with a star tip. I used purple edible cake glitter along the bottom border. I love the color combo and the simplicity of the design.

Mouse And "cheese"cake, April 2008

I saw similar cakes like this online and created my own version of it here, but I do not recall the exact sources. Moving on, this is a 3 layer, 9" cake. 2 layers of chocolate and 1 layer of chocolate chip cake; vanilla pudding filling and buttercream frosting. My 2nd attempt at fondant animals, this time mice. Not all of the mice are whole, as some appear to be tunneling through the "cheese".

Haunted House Cake, October 2007

This was my first attempt at a castle cake. I learned many lessons with this cake. Top tier is vanilla, bottom tier is chocolate. The cake is frosted in a whipped buttercream icing and covered in homemade chocolate marshmallow fondant (also my first attempt with MMF). The chocolate MMF is very tasty. I used a brick pattern texture plate on the fondant before adhering to the towers. With better time management, I would have incorporated the board into the design.

Whipped Cream Monkey Cake, August 2007

This is a 9" chocolate and vanilla checkerboard cake frosted in homemade chocolate whipped cream. The birthday girl is fond of monkeys and so I molded some chocolate monkeys. I used a green gel (realizing after the mistake in that judgment) to make vines and some jungle leaves from fondant.

Penguin Cake, March 2007

This was a 2-layer, 9" funfetti cake. This was my first attempt at fondant-molded animals. I found the penguins SUPER easy to mold. There are 6 penguins to represent 6 cousins and each penguin's birthday hat has the initial of one of the cousins. The igloo is an upside-down cupcake. Bottom border is "snowballs" of frosting and the top border was a solid tip 10 (or maybe 12) line that I did a "pull down" motion to create icicles.

First Wilton Cake Ever, Course 1 (2006)

On a whim, I decided to take a cake decorating class. My very first cake is pictured here. 8" cake, BC frosting, cookie cutter indentations filled in with stars and outlined. Perhaps not the best cake to come out of Course 1, but I was proud of it, and I've come a long way since!

Wilton Course 2 Final "exam" Cake, 2006

This is one of my favorite cakes from my Wilton courses; which I took several years ago. This is a small oval cake, frosted in BC. I just love basketweave! Flowers are royal icing (I believe). Birds are done in Color Flow Icing.

Lighthouse And Cottage Cake

This cake was done for a surprise 80th birthday; the recipient is a lighthouse lover. The cake is a 1/2 sheet cake carved to give the feel of a lighthouse landscape. The cake is frosted in a standard crusting BC. The lighthouse and cottage were molded from homemade rice cereal treats. They were then frosted and covered in a cobblestone-printed fondant; all additional decorations were also fondant. To finish off the cake after assembly, I created some grass patches and placed tiny gumpaste flowers and fondant rocks.
