No fancy fondant cakes for my birthday.
My first attempt at making floral cages. My royal icing was a bit runny when I made this. Next time, I should make it a bit stiffer so as to get a more defined look.
I was just searching/looking for cake images in google when i found these hand painted cakes. So, I decided to give it a go. Lets just say I learned a lot from this first attempt on hand painted cakes.
Finally got the chance to make a beer mug birthday cake for my brother in law's birthday. It was chocolate mud cake crumbed coated in swiss meringue (as with the froth on top). Thought it would look even better on a "wooden" table top, so I covered the cake drum with some brown fondant, made some depressions and painted them a darker shade of brown. :-)
I was asked to make a Barbie in Hollywood cake for a pretty little 6 yr old girl. Along with 50 cupcakes, 50 cake pops and 2 dozen cookies.
I was asked to make a cake for our coming feast day in church, which is the feast of Our Lady of the Angels. The cake is due on August 2. I'm not an artist, not a sculptor sooo making these really took a loooot of work. haha I'm just glad they look decent enough. :))
This is my first attempt on carved cakes. I made this for my cousin?s birthday last Sunday. I had a very busy week so I only had Saturday morning to stack, carve and ganache the cake. Then Sunday afternoon to make rice crispies tires, to cover and decorate the cake. I really thought I wouldn?t finish the cake on time because the weather was definitely NOT cooperating. I cheated and just painted the windows and the windshield just to finish the cake exactly on time for the dinner party lol. I also bought some rock chocolate candies! They loved the cake. I think I did okay for my first try. haha
I made this rose cake for my best friend's mom's birthday. It was moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling. They loved the cake.
Since my grandmother is forever young at heart, I decided to make a fun layered petal cake for her 91st birthday. She absolutely loved the cake. She loves roses and pink. So, yes, she loved the cake. hehe It was butter cake with blueberries and cream filling. This is my 6th fondant cake. I'm really quite happy with my progress. :-)
Yesterday my friend called to tell me her twins were having their first birthday today. I thought it would be nice to surprise her with a cake so I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick little fondant cake. I got the idea of covering the top with leaves from one of my google image searches. haha What's really funny was that when I gave the cake the two little boys were wearing the exact colors I used on the cake AND one of the shirts had a LION print on it. Haha Happy birthday, Johann and Jonathan! :)
I had a cake order which just stated: pink cake. I always love simple designs and this is one of my favorites. I love how lace/ruffle buttercream effect. Simply adorable.
My fourth and latest fondant cake. My first time to make animal figures, though. :-) I made this for my aunt's birthday yesterday. I initially planned on making a garden themed cake but where's the fun in that? So I decided to replicate our animal/pet infested home. yes, we have dogs, chickens and we also have a monkey. haha Is is just me or am I improving a bit? :))
My 3rd Fondant Cake. This was for my uncle. He loved this game and used to play it with my cousin - but he always lost. Haha I really enjoyed working on this cake, since I'm pretty much a Mario fan myself. And I think I did a very good job with this one. I still have a loooong way to go though.
This was my 2nd fondant cake. I also made a fondant doll cake. The doll was actually made of Kit-Kat bars. The cake was for my sister's birthday. I really wish I had more artistic juice in me but no. Haha My sister was very much pleased about it though. That's good enough for me :)
My friend since Kindergarten 3 asked me to make his wedding cake. I was never into the whole decorate-your-cake-and-make-it-pretty thing. I was only concerned with the taste. I guess this was a decent enough cake for a first timer at decorating. Haha They were very happy about it, which made me happy as well. It was coffee and buttercream cake coated with white chocolate. Yummy for sure. But I need to improve my skills (or lack thereof) in decorating. :))
I got a short notice cake order. Just a two day lead time. I thought it was just a regular order of buttercream frosted cake but then she told me she wanted it covered in fondant. This was the first fondant cake I've ever made. First time to make homemade fondant. It was crazy, especially making the black fondant. My arms felt like they were going to come apart after all the kneading. I woke up all sore the next day. At least, I finished the cake on time. The design was inspired by some of the google searches my client made. She just showed me the picture. :-)
