I made this for our neighbor's daughter. Bottom layer is in my favorite - WASC and the small top layer is in chocolate. All buttercream with fondant/gumpaste accents. This has been one of my favorite type of decorating styles lately. I got the idea for a "glittery #3" from another cc'er and thought it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. We had a difficult time finding Dora decorations-so printed out pictures and then laminated. This was fun putting together!
I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the cakes together when I posted my original pictures - Lydia's mom sent this to me. Glad she did!
Had a request for a cake that her son was being deployed and the family was having a going away party. She wanted it to look like a flag with a yellow ribbon - this is what I came up with. WASC with buttercream and fondant accents.
WASC with buttercream icing, fondant and gumpaste accents. Lydia's mom wanted a little "spray " coming out of the smash cake and the number 1 has an opening in the top for a candle. Thanks to all for the inspiration and ideas!
Our 4th of July cake for Rainbow Shores chicken bake. All WASC with Indy Debi's buttercream icing and fondant decorations. The top layer has a raspberry cream cheese filling. Check out the other photo to see what the inside looked like!
Baby Shower cake request with a "monkey theme" and not in the typical blues for a boy - so this is what I created and my first attempt at sculpting! Chocolate mocha cake with chocolate buttercream icing - top layer is WASC with buttercream. Fondant decorations.
Zebra cake - WASC, Pink cake - chocolate, small cake - banana. All iced in buttercream with gumpaste and fondant decorations. This was for a glamour, makeup and dressup party for my granddaughter and 6 girls at a photo studio for her 7th birthday. A lot of cake, but Mom and Dad wanted extras and for all the parents later. After all this, Jessie was looking for her Zombie cake - couldn't see that at this party - so she is getting that one on her actual birthday - LOL
Lemon cake with a raspberry filling covered in Buttercream made for MIL birthday. The filling was a little tart, but the combinatiion of the lemon cake and the sweetness of the icing was a good combination that everyone seemed to enjoy. Need to do a little more practice with the cornelli lace.
Chocolate cake with buttercream (Sugarshack's recipe) for DIL's birthday. She loves my chocolate cake!!!
My finale cake for Wilton Course 3. I got the inspiration for this cake from another cake I saw in the gallery (sorry I can't remember who). I loved the fact that our instructor just let us do our own thing. The bottom cake was lemon with a raspberry filling and the top cake was cosmopolitan. By this time, I was getting pretty good at using the "viva" method and had several people ask if I used fondant. The only thing/problem I had was that the icing seemed to get white spots through out, and don't know why - still tasted good though.
My first attempt at trying out a 2 toned rose for our finale cake for Course 1. Also used the viva method and thought that part came out pretty good.
1st square stacked wedding cake! Bride wanted simple with ribbon color to match the bridesmaids dresses. Found that simple wasn't that easy - can't hide any flaws by using some type of piping, borders etc. WASC and used Indy's buttercream 1st time as well since it was an outdoor wedding and reception that held up wonderful.
Needed to have a pirate themed cake for a birthday and this is what I came up with. I made the "1st cake" Thursday night - next morning it had split in half (had my own shipwreck)LOL. Luckily I had another 9 x 13 that I was able to use. I was able to salvage the backend of the cake and piece in the front and middle. Over all, the 2nd one came out better than the first and everyone was happy with it.
Bottom layer is chocolate and the square is a wasc all covered in buttercream with some fondant cutouts. The ICarly banner was made with colorflow. The wasc was a special cake just for DIL (she had sworn off of sweets/desserts for 6 weeks and said that on the birthday she was splurging!!. Overall, the cake was a big success!
