Thanks to McGreevy for the awesome tutorial that came just in time for my penguin cake this weekend
A pink and purple castle cake. Inspiration taken very much from the Royal Bakery.
Cake and cupcakes for a friends shower celebrating her adoption of a young girl. We did a baby shower theme for her. The inside of the cake was hot pink zebra to carry the theme further.
Celebration cake for a friend's mother's 98th birthday. She loved a cake from Sweet Tiers Cakes in NZ so I did my best to make her one like it.
A birthday cake for Madison. The birthday girl's only request was that I use purple and turquoise with pink accents. This was my first time doing zebra and funky roses. I kinda like it!
When my son requested a NY GIants cake for his birthday, I decided that it was a great time to try doing a frozen buttercream transfer. I'm super happy with how this cake came out. Not bad for a quick Saturday experiment :-)
1st birthday cupcakes for a little girl at a Birthday Wishes party. I was truly inspired by mrsvb78's cupcakes from earlier this week although hers were far more lovely than these.
A dozen circus cupcakes for a Birthday Wishes party. I'd hoped to do character toppers for all of them but since this was my 1st time sculpting I'd severely underestimated the amount of time that would take.
Cupcakes from a Birthday Wishes party that had a luau theme. I especially loved how the sunset ones came out.
Cupcakes I made for a Birthday Wishes party where the Pawsox were coming to visit.
I found this great recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try, with a few changes of my own. I love the look of these cakes with the ganache drizzle. (I perhaps overdrizzled but I LOVE this blackberry chocolate sauce so sue me ;-)
A 6" white cake filled with key lime curd and iced with key lime buttercream. Topped with gumpaste flowers.
12", 9", and 6" tiers of white cake with BC and fondant accents. The theme was Puppy Birthday. I made fondant dogs to look like the two family pets and my dog.
Cupcakes for a little girl turning 7.
Donated these to a birthday party for a 15 year old girl. Thanks BIG TIME to mycakeschool for the tutorial. The timing was perfect and this was the easiest technique I've done in months. I will definitely be rocking this one again.
Delicious in flavor and yet a hot mess in detail. I used a PB buttercream for the piping on the side. My first time doing this kind of piping was made even harder by the fact that the BC immediately began to separate as I squeezed on the bag. The solids sunk to the bottom and peanut oil oozed out of the top. Looked goofy. Made a horrible mess. But DELICIOUS!!! :-) The best kind of mistake to make.
Donated these cupcakes for a birthday party at a local homeless shelter. There were 3 kids (boys and girls) ranging in age from 1-15 so I went with something simple and yet fun.
A small baby shower cake I made for a friend. The design is based upon the invitation & decorations they chose.
10" vanilla and 8" chocolate cake in buttercream with gumpaste and fondant details. The cupcake on top was a request from the birthday boy's mom, who wanted him to have his own mini-tier to eat.
8" cinnamon roll cake with SMBC icing. Added some cinnamon chips to one column as well.
A quick cake for a friend. Her school colors were green and yellow so I did my best to make them work together. It was a 10" chocolate cake and 8" yellow.
Oy vay. This is without a doubt the worst cake I have ever done. My friend wanted an Elvis cake for a birthday and I decided to do try to do a profile out of fondant cut-outs on top instead of something more my normal style. She was thrilled with it but I'm not a huge fan. Still, it was a learning experience...one not to repeat.
For an end of the year celebration at my son's school, I made about 280 cupcakes. Simple vanilla and chocolate cupcakes topped three ways. 1) With a monogram topper for the name of the school. 2) With a 2011 topper in honor of the year. 3) With graduation caps made out of fondant. Had a great time making these and even better time watching the kids enjoy them.
An 8" cinnamon roll cake with gumpaste daffodils, daises, roses, and bluebells. I'm really happy with how this came out and had a great time making it.
This is for my son's elementary school's Teacher Appreciation Day. I made 6 dozen cupcakes and decided to add a chocolate cake as well. The colors are pulled from the cupcake liners. This is a 10" and 8" chocolate WASC, filled with mocha icing, covered in IMBC and MMF.
