School colors -black and gold- 10-8-6 -inches. Really trying to be creative and get "cleaner" cakes- still need much more practice. I din't know about anyone else but, everything takes me so long-- ugh!! And I never seem to ave what I need. I aways have to buy things o make a cake and/or search through my many boxes and bins for it-- so aggravating.
This is the first type of cake I have made like this- The thing I LOVE about this cake is the "bar top"-- I totally McGuyver'd that!! I cut a pool noodle and attached it to foam core- covered it in dark brown fondant and used a 50/50 corn syrup and vodka for the high gloss finish- leveled the top by adding cut pieces of foam core to the other side of the bar-- it really looked real!!! I used 1/4-in copper for the stream of beer- 4 6-inch cakes doweled through the center and tea straws in bottom tier for support- fondant and buttercream finishes (bottle is real). The color was a little off- the beer has a little more orange tinge to it-- the color really disappointed me-- it looks more like a root beer float than a beer- :(
A striped bass retirement cake -- choc cake- 9x13 carved- LMF fondant- hand painted and dusted. I'm thrilled with the way this cake turned out-- carving is not my thing-- so I found it challenging- I did use pics online as a guide as I had no idea what a striped bass looked like!! Ha--Thank you to Tinazzzviking74 on CC for her guidance and support. It was also the first time I ade and used LMF fondant-- which I LOVE!!!!
8in square and 6in round- buttercream and fondant/gum paste decorations- -- Mike is styro covered in fondant-- the original Mike was RKT but he was not big enough- so thankfully at 2am I found some styro at the bottom of one of my many storage boxes!! Whew- that was a stroke of luck! Cupcakes were completed 10 minutes before pick- up. Wish I had had a little more time! Thank you to all those who have posted Monster Inc. cake photos- they were certainly my inspiration - ooh there is a surprise inside-- colored cake circles (blue green purple) hope that works out when they cut it- ha!!! Thanks for looking - :)
Ireland's 5th birthday cake-- Monster High I believe- The design was copied from Happy Cakes , who generously posted a tutorial - of course her cake was perfect!!! All fondant- except for the tiny skull candle. Wish I had a better picture
Teacher retirement cake- Early Childhood teacher, I added a quilting bag and camping magazines, those are her interests. Buttercream with fondant decorations- Trying to practice getting smooth buttercream (probably should have colored it) I did this cake in one day- decorations too- so I was happy with how it turned out-- desk is RKT covered in fondant -- thanks for looking
Inspired from the gorgeous cake by The Pastry Studio—The bottom layer when cut had green dots, made by adding green balls to the batter. I wasn’t there to get a picture of that, but heard that it worked out (whew-ha)
Sweet Sixteen cake made for a young lady who loves to sing and is in the drama club- everything is edible, even the sheet music- “Happy Birthday” and “The Entertainer” Her parents are music teachers so they got a kick out f that. The design was left up to me totally, I’m happy with the way it turned out- thanks for looking
This is a Confirmation cake I made for my niece- I tried the leopard print technique inside- hmm didn't turn out quite right- I also tried to "stage" my photo- apparantly that didn't turn out quite right either- ha!! I did see a post about photo booths etc- going to check that out now- tfl
Boy version of a previous cake- much easier this time - ha !! Made for a work baby shower- two days notice- so I was happy with it-
A blast from the past cake- I had fun making it- ran out of time so not as neat as I would have liked- but it was a hit- I have to get better pics of it-
My friend's daughter asked me to make a cake for her Science Teacher - the students were throwing him a party just because they feel - he is "out if this world" - how great is that? The dome is a 7-11 slurpee top- I wish I could say I was that creative but I remember seeing it somewhere a long time ago. I wish I had jazzed this up with a little more jewels etc--
This was made when I first started caking- Made for my nephew- took much longer than I thought- I ran out of time so the balloons and border never made it on- whew so glad it was only a family party. This is the only picture I got of it- its not even off the turntable- ha !!
Super Mario- James wanted chocolate frosting- fondant figures exactly what he asked for- Mario- Luigi-Donkey Kong-chocolate frosting and his name on the side- check!!! Ahhh the mind if a five year old-
This was my first Hello Kitty cake- thank you to Lesley from Royal Bakery for posting her Hello Kitty tutorial- Kitty is harder then she looks - ha.
I copied these from photos I saw online-- I lost the name of the original designer- but they had posted a free tutorial, so I think it was ok to copy. You can't tell from the photos- man I have to set up a booth- but the Santa belly is domed- they were a hit- I thought they were adorable too - a big thank you to the original caker
Chocolate cake-2 layers 10 inches- peanutbutter buttercream- yum! A little bit of carving- gumpaste disc- black fondant. I tried to replicate my white xbox (posted in my gallery) but... Ehh-- my nephew was happy
