Not only was the filling not working with the fondant, but I must have doweled incorrectly too. It was just all around bad. That's what I get for doing a topsy-turvy cake. I was so sad and upset. Oh well, at least it tasted good.
This is my MAJOR cake disaster. I tried to follow the directions, but I think I did something really wrong. Then, I had trouble doweling too. So, I'm not sure what the source of my disaster was.
Still working on stencils and aribrushing.
Thank you Susan'scakebabies for this idea and the advice to make it. She is an awesome cake designer! I didn't even come close to her work, but hopefully someday...
This was for my son's 4th birthday. He wanted it after I had done the other sculpted Lightening McQueen.
Well, this is my first attempt at painting on fondant. Again, a great learning experience. There are 20 things, at least, I'd do different.
I had done fondant and sculpting in class before, but I had not attempted it by myself at home yet. So this is sort of a first for me. I am not happy with the tires and I have to do a fin next time, but other than that I am okay with my attempt. It is vanilla cake with vanilla bc. The car is chocolate cake with MMF. My first time making and coloring MMF too. What a great learning experience.
This was the WBH choc. chip pound cake with whipped cream filling and almond BC. I was just doing a practice cake with my airbrush and new projector that gmcakes recommended. Thanks gmcakes. I just used my daughter's 5th birthday invitation as the image.
I did this for a friend's playgroup.
Still working on getting my airbrush skills up to par. Enjoyed doing this one though. Chocolate cake with crusting cream cheese frosting. I tried to use the same front as the Bratz logo.
Well, this is the biggest cake I have ever done. It was a full sheet cake. Hubby made me put my boney hand in the pic. for size reference. There are definitely things I would do different. My bc took forever to crust which I think had something to do with me icing frozen cakes. Anyway, I'm still working on airbrushing. Also, My writing wasn't centered and my bct had the "wiggleys" even though I pushed down on it after making it. It was a great learning experience. I did it for free for a good friend.
Idea from WBH book. Chocolate bugs and buttercream frosting. My daughter drew the roly-poly on the right side.
BCT and Crusting cream cheese frosting.
This was a cake for my Mom, who turned 82, and my son, who turned 2. They have the same birthday. I have got to find a better way to do sprinkles and writing.

This is a sculpted pumpkin I did in class today. I took it with Alimonkey. Talk about a GREAT class. Anyway, hers is much cuter than mine, but I learned a ton. I'm definitely going to have to practice my fondant. The color is airbrush.
This was sort of a practice cake/birthday cake. Anyway, it was a mix white cake with pistachio pudding filling. It began to split in the middle after the picture was taken because I forgot to put a ring of frosting around my filling.
I wanted to try to do a sketch all of his grandchildren. two of which are my children. Took a shot and this is the result. Tried to do cocoa paint but couldn't get it to work so went to Plan B. Anyway, it's a pineapple cake with non-crusting (not on purpose) buttercream.
Well, I have worked all day on this, on and off. I finally made some progress in smoothing and got some rose practice. It's just chocolate cake from scratch with buttercream frosting. My friends are in there playing Pente waiting for a piece. :)
I made this for my husband's godmother and she loves horses. The horse is chocoate and dusted with luster dust. I was in a hurry, but I really wished I would have added a border and some writing. At that point, though, I was not confident in my writing.
This was the first cake I did for either my son or daughter, and it was really special to do one for his first birthday. I got the idea from a Wilton book. Theirs was round, but I adapted it for a sheet cake.
The carrots are marzipan.
Right before my brother turned 54, he took a tumble on his bike and broke both his arms. In an attempt to make light of the situation, I did this cake for him. It's a BCT. Obviously, I need to work on my initial icing skills (i've only been decorating for a year) but I have enjoyed the tips I have read on this website for getting icing smooth.
