This was a design I found in a Wilton Yearbook. The petals are fondant and the rest is buttercream. The stem and leaves are construction paper covering the pillar. It was for a 2 year old's birthday.
This cake was covered in my first attempt to make homemade fondant. It was before I discovered Satin Ice and wanted something that tasted good. It was AWFUL to work worth. You can't really tell in the photo but there were holes and it wasn't very smooth. They liked it anyway!
This cake was made using a vintage Wilton cake pan I found on Ebay. My brother loves Garfield so this was his birthday cake. The cake is chocolate and the icing is chocolate (dark brown stripes) and the orange is peanut butter flavored. He also loves Reese's cups!
This was a class I took. It is all fondant. I even marbilized the cake light blue and dark blue so that when the cake was cut it still looked like water!
I found this design online and just adjusted it a bit. The moon is cardboard covered in fondant and the baby is sculpted from fondant.
This was a small cake I made for my husband to take to work. Just pratice! It's cherry chip with half butter half shortening buttercream.
This was a 12"x18" half white half chocolate sheetcake for an Eagle Scout celebration. It is iced in 1/2 Crisco 1/2 butter buttercream. The Eagle Medal is paper wrapped in a piece of Ziploce. Couldn't get it turned into an edible image in time.
This was my first time using the Wilton cross pan. It is the hardest cake I have ever had to ice. The beveled edges are really a challnge. It was for my second cousins baptism.
This is the continuation of the bingo cake. It was a 9"x13" carrot cake with cream cheese icing and buttercream decorations.
This was a 9"x13" vanilla/choc cake with buttercream icing. It was for a surprise retirement party and had a 2nd cake with it.
This was my first doll cake made with the Wondermold pan. I didn't realize that a full Barbie would not fit in that cake so my hubbie got to do some "surgery" on her. Thankfully it was for my best friend's 2 year old who didn't play with Barbies yet. Everything is buttercream except for the fondant bow and sash.
This is a cake made in the Wilton guitar pan and made to look like a baby rattle and then stacked on a 12"x18" sheet cake. Everything is fondant and the sheet cake was airbrushed yellow.
This was my first real experience with fondant and stacked cakes. It was for a couple getting married in Vegas but they had the shower here in town. The sign on top was downloaded and I photoshopped the couples name in and then laminated it. The coins, trees, and dice are all plastic.
This was a cake I made for my best friend's 3 year old. I took the design from the 2006 Wilton Yearbook and tweaked it a little. The body is an upside down heart and the head is the Wilton animal crackers pan. Everything is fondant except the crown and the sceptor which were purchased.
This is a cake I made for my sister-in-law who LOVES Peter Rabbit. The figure is made out of gumpaste and painted with diluted paste color. The vegetables are marzipan and the "dirt" is crushed chocolate cookie. The cake was carrot with cream cheese icing
This is a cake I made for my dad's birthday. Its a replica of his boat. I stacked and carved the cake and then it it covered in fondant with a wire railing. The "waves" are buttercream.
This was a recreation of my brother's wedding cake for his 10th anniversary. Its white cake with raspberry filling and covered in buttercream. The sides are basketweave and the top is cornelli lace. The pansies were store bought royal. The original cake had fresh pansies but we opted for these instead.
This is a buttercream iced cake with a scroll design and fresh roses.
This was a baby shower cake I did with the colors that she had chosen for her nursery. The little feet are gumpaste and the rest is buttercream.
Here is the same cake just another view.
This is a cut-out cake that I made for a retirement party. I used two square pans so I had two flavors. I drew out a template and cutout the cake and then outlined the design in dark grey buttercream and filled in with buttercream. The bottom border is done with a bag striped with blue and red and filled with white buttercream to get the tri-color effect.
This is a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting smoothed with parchment. The base color is a pale purple with a white border and white dots. There are deep purple swirl flowers incorporated into the border and a group of deep purple buttercream roses on the top.
This was made for my husband's fire department's annual Steak Fry. I used round cakes to stack and cut to shape, crumb coated in buttercream and then covered in fondant. I used "snakes" of fondant to make the ribs in the helmet. The shield and brim is also fondant dried to shape.
This is a 11"x15" sheetcake with buttercream frosting and fondant name and flowers. I used the pre-colored neon fondant pack from Wilton and their flower fondant cutter set.
