My 1M tip is at the other house, so I used a rose petal tip and played with the frosting.
I found a recipe online for champagne cupcakes, and wanted to play around with it a bit. These cupcakes were the result! I also used a champagne flavored butter cream frosting, and piped roses on for a bit of elegant flair.
Found a tutorial from Peggy Weaver, online, and decided to try it for practice. Spiced cupcakes with a ginger butter cream frosting. Tasty!!
I finally mastered the roses! I was getting frustrated, because I was using a smaller tip and my roses just looked like I was swirling the frosting around in a circle. I got the bigger 1M tip and tried them again tonight and voila! It worked!! Chocolate Irish cream cake with Irish cream-buttercream frosting.
Used a left over layer of chocolate cake, with buttercream and modeling chocolate rose. Sadly, I broke the rose as I was positioning it : ( Was practicing smoothing my buttercream, but it was just a bit softer than I prefer....
I have been trying to practice my piping every time I bake; my hands and wrists just don't have the strength and I want to build up the muscle memory as I build my skills. I made these flowers for the ravenous, teenage hoardes at my house. The cupcakes are spice cake, the frosting is a butter rum flavored buttercream. Still need practice but the teenagers all though they were cute ; )
This is the prototype head for a court jester cake I am planning. Fondant, handpainted with food coloring.
I made a white cake, crumb coated it with spiced buttercreme and then covered it in homemade MMF, for practice. I decided to try painting the MMF, as I like the damask cakes I see here, on CC. Some was stenciled, and some was handpainted. This was a pic I took while I was in the process of painting it. Unfortunately, my son got too eager to eat it and I did not get a pic of the finished cake, lol. Teenagers!
Cupcakes I made for my daughter's boyfriend's birthday. White cake, spiced buttercreme frosting, MMF decorations.
White velvet cake with spice buttercreme crumbcoating and fondant, with fondant accents, for a celebration of the medieval holiday 12th Night.
Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercreme filling, dark chocolate ganache frosting. MMF ruffles, silver dragees and royal icing. This was left over batter from a dozen cupcakes for an event. Not wanting to waste *anything*, I used it to practice on.
Chocolate cupcakes, frosting with chocolate buttercream, with MMF ruffles, (technique learned from others here on CC-thank you so very muchly!!)
Made a model of the globe for a holiday party in my son's high school globalo studies class. RKT and modeling chocolate
Buddy Christ from the movie Dogma; a birthday cake for my 16 year old son. This cake was cursed from the start! Buddy's arm fell off and was reattached upside down. The gumpaste decorations for the sides of the tiers looked awful. Buddy's legs didn't get done...but the 16 year old was still happy! Buddy Christ is made of RCT covered in modeling chocolate. Tiers are spiced cake with buttercream frosting, sprayed with blue to represent sky, with buttercream clouds.
This cake was made for a friend who was having a special commemoration. The dragon was sculpted from RKT, covered in fondant scales, and gilded with luster. This is my third 3D cake attempt.
