Belize flag birthday cake. Tools should be over the shoulders but ran out of time before I figured out how to do do that.
My first butterflies. Filigree and wet on wet run outs. This tutorial helped with the butterflies - http://www.cakecentral.com/t/586983/royal-icing-butterflies and SweetAmbs for the adventures in run out royal icing :- http://www.cakecentral.com/u/743317/sweetambs This is my end of couse cake on an advanced royal icing course. It's a dummy cake.
First ever fondant cake. Based on a Mr Kipling Bakewell tart i.e. almonds and cherries
I made this naughty cat cake for the mum of a lady at work. Her mum had a cat that had the same personality and looks as Felix from the cat food adverts, so she asked me if I could a cake a Felix type cat cake. I Googled Felix and found some pictures of him and it became clear he was a naughty fun cat! It's a rich fruit cake, covered with marzipan and sugar paste. I made the 'splat' cat first, from black sugar paste. TIP: I bought it in black as it takes ages to color yourself! I made some dents in the cake where he had 'landed' and plopped him on top. Then I made a cat to peep over the cake. TIP: I added Tylose powder to stiffen the sugar paste. I made the body and head and pushed a cocktail stick through it to hold him together. I added the facial features and then and stuck him onto the cake with another cocktail stick. I added his arms, legs and tail last. The cat hanging onto the cake was next and I scratched the cake surface with a scriber where his claws had gouged their way across the cake - (that hurt as the icing was so perfect!). I tuned his head round as though he was looking at something - maybe they'd all be caught by the cake decorator! I added a mouse nibbled cheese with a mouse escaping down the side of the cake. The cheese is sugar paste with holes made by a ball tool. I added some cat paw prints just to make the cake even cuter! I am very pleased with this cake and everyone loves it too - it is THE coolest naughty cat cake!
Baby shower cake. That Royal Icing course paid off!
Advanced Cake Decorating course. Royal icing: run-outs (wet on wet), filagree, cornelli lace, extensions, covering! Not first ever cake, but first Royal Iced one!
The Pinky Minty Teaset Cake!
Bumblebee Transformer Robot Mode cake. A difficult one as there are many incarnations of Bumble bee. Plus some artistic license ! I found the Transformer's font and used this for the name.I brushed silver dust on the gray bits to make them 'metallic' . The eyes are tiny blue LED lights. For the logo on the top of the head, I used acetate film and edible pen to draw over the logo, then printed onto a yellow fondant square. I carefully touched this up then stuck onto the head. A dried out bit of fondant would have been better as the felt pen kept sinking in the fresh fondant!
