Isomalt Purse & Shoe

Cake is covered in SMBC. Fondant border and flowers. The Martini Glass, purse and shoe are made from cooked Isomalt that I colored using gel Ameri Colors. This was my first time working with Isomalt, and I wish I had taken close up pics of the purse, but I am so happy with the way it turned out! The base of the Martini glass did end up breaking with my first attempt at attaching it to the cake board, and of course I didn't make an extra one! I first tried to use a torch to heat the bottom so it would melt a bit and then I was going to attach it, but that heat caused it to shatter, so I melted some more isomalt to repair the pieces that broke off, and then opted for cutting a fondant disc and sticking the glass on it. I then used fondant flowers to camouflage the cracks.

All tiers covered in fondant. Ruffled flowers on bottom tier are fondant. Middle tier was painted with Nu Silver dust and lemon extract. Top flower is fondant.....I wanted that one to be more of a protruding affect, but this is what my hands made instead! I couldn't decide if I wanted to build it on the cake or make it separately and attach it to the cake. I opted to build it on the cake......I'll just have to make some adjustments for the next time. Still not too bad.........heavy sigh, I am my own worst critique!

I had a hard time with the gold tier, but it ended up working out. The bottom tier took my all night to finish, but I absolutely love how it turned out and would do it all over again. Hopefully it won't take me as long. I give thanks to Sharon Wee for her ruffle rose tutorial! The beaded boarder consists of dragees stuck on with piping gel.

First I Have To Say That This Is Not My Design One Of My Customers Sent Me A Picture And Asked Me To Make It I Loved Making This Cake

First I have to say that this is not my design. One of my customers sent me a picture and asked me to make it. I loved making this cake! At first I was a bit intimidated when I saw the picture, but once I got started I couldn't stop myself! The drum is a cardboard box I got from Michael's and covered in fondant. The cake is butter cream with chocolate ganache added to make it very stiff, but still gave it a soft melt in you mouth feel. All decorations were made with modeling chocolate.

Marriage Celebration Cake

SWBC ruffle cake. The top tier is three 6" layers of chocolate cake to get the height. The bottom tier is 9". This is my first ruffle cake, and you can see I slanted downward a bit...and it really stands out in the pics, but I'm happy with the way it turned out, and the bride loved it so I guess that's all that matters! And I was rushing when taking the pics, and realized after that I forgot to add the ribbon around the boards. I'm a spaz when it comes to delivering cakes....it's the most stressful part about cake decorating in my opinion....so my brain doesn't function properly on the day of delivery, and this one had to get delivered before church on Easter Sunday so I get a free pass! I did add the ribbon before boxing it up. I used an Ateco 113 leave tip to make all the ruffles. The flowers are gumpaste. I still need lots of photography practice!
