The Lamb I made out of chocolate and a 3D mold. The base of the cake is buttercream and the rest of the decorations is made out of fondant.
I made this for my husband's birthday and he loved it! Only problem was I switched my white cake recipe with a new one and the cake itself was too dry. Does anyone have a good moist white cake recipe? I've tried recipes with only butter and milk in them and they are all too dry. I had to eventually go back to my old recipe with vegetable oil. Cake was made with buttercream icing and the buttons were fondant.
This cake is a 2-tier round cake with buttercream icing and Fondant finish. The butterflies are made out of gumpaste.
Pink Buttercream with sugar pearls and chocolate fondant accents. The flowers are fake. Inside is mango icing with mango puree yellow cake. Happy 60th birthday momma!
The castle, princess, dragon, and tiara are made out of gumpaste. The rest is fondant. I really had some trouble with the fondant this time! I tinted it 2 days prior to using and it turned all crumbly. Even when I added water, it ended up cracking a bit. Also, I STILL can't get the fondant smooth on the sides, it just keep folding and creasing. I tried rolling it out bigger, thicker, thinner. Anyways, any help would be appreciated!
The cake itself is a marble white/strawberry cake. Top tier is chocolate icing, bottom tier is whipped cream icing. The rest is fondant. I piped whipped cream for the swirls. Can anyone tell me how to not get your fondant to crease and fold on the sides? I tried hiding it here with decorations, but I can't seem to get it perfect.
My 2nd attempt at cake decorating. How do you get the fondant not to crease on the side bottom edges? Anyways, the cake was a pound cake with whipped cream icing (not recommended, the cream squished out when I put the fondant on!). The blossoms were gum paste. Voila! My novice attempt #2!

I haven't taken any cake classes, but I really do love custom cakes and my husband challenged me to start making my own instead of paying someone to do them. Here's the first one!
