I have to be honest, I bought the base cake, didn't have the time to make one (and I was very disappointed in the quality I got) but I did add the extra creature :)
Happy Peeps Massacre Day!! These are Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip with Starburst Jellybeans, Peanut M&M Eggs, and tasty mutilated Peeps :)
Meant to post these a month ago...St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes! They are Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo bottoms, White Chocolate Topping and Oreo Crumb tastiness on top
Chocolate cake with a hint of peppermint and peppermint buttercream. I think the rose may be my favorite way to decorate cupcakes, they always make them look just a little more professional
Toppers are fondant, cake is my chocolate recipe and an orangey buttercream
This is the first gingerbread house that I actually have put real time into, I made the royal icing from scratch and got out all the old Halloween candy. I have never gotten to play with royal icing and doing drops and loops etc. so this was a lot of fun.
Finished my second round of Wilton classes and I actually think I may use the knowledge I gained. The flowers were much easier than I expected and fun to make. Oh and I realize that the cake looks chaotic but it is because my basket weave is horrible and I wanted to hide it with the pretty flowers I made
Made these for my new job, we drew hand turkeys today so it seemed appropriate
I made this one for one of my closest friend's birthday, I wanted to try out the petal effect that looked so awesome on CC, it was easier than I thought. I also tried out making my own gumpaste flowers, didn't turn out as good as I wanted but they look cute. Although this isn't exactly what I wanted it still turned out pretty nice. Dark chocolate cake, ganache filling and light cocoa buttercream.
I have never tried making my own gumpaste flowers before and it was aggravating, monotonous and yet tons of fun. I will post the cake when I finally finish it.
Did these today for my brother's bake sale to help them raise money for a great cause: they need the Star Wars DVDs for their Nerd...I mean Star Wars club :) Fighting for nerd rights with cupcakes :D Vanilla cake, marshmallow creme and ganache top with fondant toppers. Don't ask about the spider, that stupid spider. The pumpkins an eye balls are my favorite
I wanted to try out some fall flavors so I started with pumpkin :) These are pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, fondant stem and royal icing leaves.
Wanted to try out making my own sugar skulls, my brother helped me decorate them. I may use these more often, they are far too much fun.
For my brother's bake sale: Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting.
The cake from my last day of Wilton Basics, could not really think of anything to write, thus Awesome Day was created. My piping really needs a lot of work, my writing and roses are not what I wanted them to be, but I am still working on it. At least I know it tastes amazing (well if you scrape off the Wilton recipe for outer icing, yuck) - Dark Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Buttercream filling :)
I think I have finally perfected my signature rose design for my cupcakes. These were for a woman's going away party, she is very girly so it worked out perfectly. Pink velvet cake with vanilla buttercream, Blueberry cake with vanilla buttercream and Chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream.
I did this one today for my first ever Wilton class, Decorating Basics. We could do whatever we wanted so I figured I would practice with my star tip. Although I have done iced decorations before this is the first time doing it the proper, or at least the Wilton way. A lot of fun :)
Made this one yesterday for my baby brother's 17th birthday. He has an obsession with the video game Klonoa, so the basic design is based on a level in the game. The topper is the Klonoa hat and a My Little Pony based off of my brother (his new strange obsession is the newest incarnation of the tv show). The cake itself is a cinnamon cake with Nutella buttercream and chocolate chip filling.
Just finished this cake for two friends who I don't know well, but I really hope they like green and purple. This is my first time doing a cake for someone I don't know well and the first time attempting the loop bow and using royal icing. Still not happy with it but I doubt I will ever be, I am just too much of a perfectionist. The cake, however, is perfect! Everything from scratch :) Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing and Chocolate Buttercream with Hershey Chocolate chunks
Red Velvet Cupcakes for my brother's gamer themed birthday party. Gumpaste figures: Blue Spiked Shell (Mario Kart), Pokeball (Pokemon), Triforce symbol (Legend of Zelda), Star (Mario), Kirby (Kirby), Piranha Plant (Mario), Med Pack (Left for Dead), Brain (Psychonauts), Katamari (Katamari Damacy), Portal Cube (Portal), Klonoa Cap (Klonoa), Sandvich (Team Fortress 2) All hand modeled by myself and my other little brother
My final cake for the PME Fondant Module! Got a certificate and everything! I actually forgot a cake today and the teacher gave me one from her freezer! I came to class with a completely different vision and I just wasn't feeling it and then some how this came out. When I got home I added a bit more life to it: some rainbows, birds and bugs
My best friend's birthday is tomorrow and I promised her a birthday cake. Although it doesn't live up to what I envisioned it still turned out okay. This was the first time I have ever done a two tiered cake, first time I had fresh fruit in the filling, first time I made a cake for someone not in my family, first time doing hand made roses. Yeah a lot of firsts. The cake is from scratch, the filling is strawberry whipped cream with fresh strawberries and chocolate buttercream.
Today's PME Sugarart Fondant Class was all about figure modeling, I attempted a bunny but it looked like someone sat on it. So, instead of doing a 3D figure I did a hand modeled relief of an elephant. This isn't what I had planned, I wanted a beautiful wedding cake look, and it looks more like it was meant for a 16 year old girl. But hey, it is still pretty awesome! :)
I think this may be my favorite cake I have ever made! Did it for my third PME class, it took me forever! The snitch is probably the thing I am most proud of :) Everything is hand modeled except the chocolate frog :)
Made this cake today for my second PME Fondant/Gumpaste class, we had to do heart shaped cakes. Yes, the gouges and scrapes are all intentional, I wanted the locket to feel old and worn. I love this class!
