Lightning McQueen from Cars
A friend of mine has a 2 year old niece who had her heart set on Minnie Mouse cupcakes for her upcoming birthday...that is until she saw pictures from her 1st birthday. She realized, to her horror, that she had Minnie Mouse last year. She quickly changed her tune and decided that she wanted "OW"s. Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes iced in buttercream with Oreos and M&Ms.
Please excuse the saran wrap in the bow...it was still hardening! This was a red velvet cake filled and iced with cream cheese frosting and covered in fondant. The bow is gum paste.
Butter pecan cake filled with buttercream and covered in MMF. The head and feathers are modeling chocolate.
Funfetti cake iced in buttercream and covered in MMF. The bow and tag are gumpaste.
I am a proud graduate of the University of Georgia, and my husband....well he graduated from Tennessee. We had all our friends over for the UGA vs. UT game this year and I made a cake for the occasion. The helmets are chocolate cake covered in MMF (masks are white chocolate) and the field is vanilla cake (dyed to be a red and orange swirl) piped in buttercream. The cake was delicious. Unfortunately, a Tennessee fan upset about the outcome of the game took out their anger on the Georgia helmet, but other than that, everyone at the party loved it.
My husband is a huge suns fan, so I made this for him for his birthday this year. I baked the basketball in a pyrex bowl. The cake is marbled vanilla/strawberry and the filling is vanilla cream with fresh strawberries mixed in.
chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. outside is lined with twix to make it look like a flower box. it was delicious!
Birthday cake for a beach themed party. Vanilla cake with buttercream filling. The palm trees and towel are modeling chocolate. The surfboard is gum paste. Sand was a 50/50 graham cracker crumb/brown sugar mixture.
Chocolate and vanilla cake. My final cake for the Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste class.
Butter pecan with Bavarian cream filling. This was my final cake for the Wilton Flowers and Cake Design class.
I made this cake a couple of months ago while I was still taking the Wilton Decorating Basics course. Despite being overambitious, it really turned out well! This is my first time with fondant, first attempt at making anything out of gumpaste, and my first tiered cake! It's also what officially made me fall victim to the cake bug. Vanilla cake based on a plate that matched the decorations.
For chocoholics...devil's food cake filled and iced with chocolate buttercream and covered with ganache. Just typing that makes me want a big glass of milk. First time with the ganache and I don't think I melted the chocolate pieces all the way. It turned out slightly lumpy. :-/
Strawberry cake covered in MMF. Fondant accents with a royal icing tiara. This was my first attempt at a tiara. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, but I'm excited to try again now that I know what I'm doing. :)
I used wilton's giant cupcake pan. Vanilla cake. All buttercream, with rainbow sprinkles mixed in on top.
The birthday girl requested "a princess castle with a princess on top", so this is what she got. The inside was chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry (also at the request of the princess) layers with buttercream filling. It's covered in marshmallow fondant with fondant accents. The princess is modeling chocolate. This was my first time using the Wilton castle kit.
