Made this for a shower with cupcakes to match. It was my first time using a mold, it was the Sculpey infant mold and I think it turned out pretty good. Name is made from 50/50 blend. Pink outfit color is Aster Mauve by Wilton coloring.
My 11 year old (favorite) nephew requested a Shadow cake. I have no experience with gumpaste 3D figures and I didn't want to use black buttercream so I made Shadow flat out of fondant using cutouts. It took a long time but I think he turned out great and my nephew LOVED it!
These go along with some others I made. Fondant crowns, flowers, coils and wands painted with dry petal dust. I used the star cutter from a Linzer cookie cutter to get them this small and sharp. Sprinkled with white nonpareils, silver dragees, and Disco Dust.
For a friend's daughter. I liked the liners and didn't want them to fade so I layered them. Fondant #7 and flowers and leaves using Wilton flower mold. Pennants are paper. Also white nonpariels, sanding sugar, silver dragees, and very light non-toxic superfine glitter.
Made for my Princess Tiana birthday cake tower. Used medium and small daisy cutter to make flowers and clay extruder to make the curly vines. Sprinkled with a bit of silver sanding sugar with sugar pearl centers.
I made these for my daughter's daycare teacher to give to her "friend" that was trying out for the team and he loved them. I printed out the Phillies logo on paper and cut them our with my exacto knife. I used 2 logos for each pick so that the picture showed from the front and the back and glued them to toothpicks. The blue stars were leftovers from some July 4th sprinkles.
My husband's cousin was having a sports themed wedding and asked for eagles cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I made little rectangles of fondant, painted them with pearl dust and cut out 4 dozen eagles from paper with an exacto knife and glued them to the fondant with piping gel. They also have silver heart sprinkles and cake sparkles.
I never know what to do with cream cheese frosting so I just sprinkled a bit of orange sugar on top of these and used some holly leaves from leftover christmas mix for the tops.
I had some of the new Reynolds Black Damask liners so I made cupcakes to match. Decorated with black sugar, silver sanding sugar, white sugar pearls, teal fondant daisies with silver dragee centers, and black and silver sixlets. My friend loved them.
I fell in love with this color so make some decorations to match. Flowers made from smallest daisy cutter. I also used some coils made with my new favorite toy, the clay extruder.
Purple gumpaste mini crowns, with cake sparkles, silver heart sprinkles, sugar pearls and white nonpareils. Lots of fun!
I love these. Pink swirls with flowers and leaves made from the Wilton flower mold.
Vanilla with white buttercream, red cake sparkles and red sixlet centers.
Vanilla cupcakes with white frosting. Black dots are from a halloween mix of sprinkles that had purple and green too but I separated out the blacks.
This is a tower of cupcakes for a friend's daughter's 3rd Birthday. The top cake is a 2 layer torted 6" with a gumpaste crown and a fondant bow. The picture of Tiana is from a card I had that I stuck to a glob of royal icing and then glued to the finished bow. The tower I made from cake boards and styrofoam cake circles hot glued together. All accents are fondant on the cupcakes. These were SO MUCH FUN to make! Thanks to Cakeinfactuation for the idea for the name on the crown and the silver cupcake liners. Also thanks to the women on the forum who helped me when my first 2 royal crowns broke. TFL!
This is a little 6" I made to practice a chocolate wrap but it didn't work so I just frosted the sides smooth. The top is poured ganache but I stirred too much so it's bubbled. I think it was pretty though and my hubby devoured it. I don't eat chocolate.
Buttercream graduated ruffles. Flowers are gumpaste, some using a cutter and others by hand. Butterflies are gumpaste using a heart cutter. TFL
Pink buttercream with fondant bow and tag. Name is handpainted with diluted rose coloring. Pink sugar pearls studded on the top. This is my first bow and I love how it turned out.
Mauve and white buttercream with sugar pearls, cake sparkles and silver sprinkles. Used tip #104 for flowers and 2A and 1M for others.
Some Hello Kitty and funny face cookies I made for a friends nieces and nephews. The Kitties are fondant that I cut with a smashed round circle cutter and hand shaped the ears. The eyes and nose I used tip#12 to cut circles and smashed them. Her butterfly bow is a small Wilton daisy cutter with 2 petals removed. The funny faces are Wilton premade eyes attached to a larger black fondant circle as an outline. The eyebrows and mouth are fondant. TFL
These are buttercream frosted and then smoothed with Viva. I then used my leftover mini frosting to make little flowers using tip #3, #13 and a leaf tip. They took way longer than they should have but I think they turned out cute. TFL!
These are some mini cupcakes for my daughter's fun day at daycare. Rainbow colored buttercream with a #21 swirl. I like to make minis for kids since they sometimes waste big ones.
10" with white buttercream. Fondant plaque on top with hand painted letters. White sugar pearl accents on star border. You can see my helper's hand at the top right holding the Olivia topper from her birthday cake! TFL!
Last minute cake for a friend. 10" with buttercream roses and a leaf tip top border and ruffled bottom border. It was super hot this day so I let the roses sit in the freezer on wax paper before transferring them to the cake.
Partly inspired by Fufulicious and AmyLee77 (thanks ladies!). Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and a fruity filling I made with drink mix that was very tasty. Stabilized with plastic dowels. Bead borders are colored Sixlets and the middle border is Duff roses. Flower accents are 50/50 fondant gumpaste and so is the plaque. Plaque was handpainted to replace one that broke 2 days out. Real satin ribbon around the 8" tier. Crown on top is handmade royal with inedible jewels. Olivia on top is a toy. This is my first stacked cake and I am SUPER HAPPY with how it turned out. It made it to the party in one piece! Thanks for all the tips from other CCers about the fondant to buttercream process, stabilization, and storage!
Made these for my DDs daycare friends. They are a bit fancy for 4 year-olds but I like to practice when I can! Toppers are fondant with royal icing monogram. Yellow cake with buttercream 1M swirl and cake sparkles which aren't showing up well. Red and white polka dot liners. I tried to use the Sugarshack method of covering my KA beaters to get a smoother buttercream and it made a HUGE difference! Thanks fellow CCers for the tips! TFL.
