Sorry about quality of photo! The bride didn't want alot of flowers so I used holly and berries. She had a deep-burgandy color, which looks black in this pics. Used MMF for bow, leaves and berries (brushed in dust). Used buttercream on rest of cake accents. I didn't give my bow enough time to dry, do it started coming apart. Was working on wedding cake design for this but bride went with a family member.
Bride picked this out of one of the Wilton wedding Albums. It was 2nd marriage so they wanted small. Used buttercream to frost cake and royla icing for roses.
Each square cake is 2 layers. All frosted in buttercream. The peonies are made with MMF the other flowers are Royal icing. I promise the cake wasn't leaning! It must have been the way I shot the pic1 Oh well. Enjoy!
10" square cake with 2 stacked round cakes. Used extra cake to sculpt a tent. Just keep playing with buttercream to get the 'cammo' effect. My DH helped to sculpt the deer & hunter. Was inspired by others here @ CC, thanks.
16" square on bottom, 2 layer 10" round cake, and a loaf pan plus extra for sculpting the bulldog. I was inspired by melissaRHK's purple grad cake & rachpizano's Cyrus the bulldog cake. The bulldog, cap, diploma, diamonds and roses are all MMF. Thank-you. This was lots of fun doing the wrinkles.
This was done the "old-fashion" cake way of piping stars! I had to do a john deere cake for a father/son and the cutomer doesnt like fondant. Drew the pattern free hand. The pic doesn't show but on the sides I pipped the "yellow deer" symbol. I got the idea from another CCer. Thank you.
The b-day girls' favorite toy was a cheerleader doll. I was asked to make a cake to match. I used a 10" round for the skirt, 3 layers of 8" cakes for body and the head is the ball pan. I carved to get shape and whole cake is covered in MMF. In order to get enough servings and the right preportions these cakes ended up being as big the the twin b-day girls! It actually scared them a little, till they could dig in. It was too funny to see their reactions!
This is an 11 x 15 sheet cake with a sculpted "car" using a 10" round. The road and car are covered with MMF. the rest is buttercream.
this was for a church fundraising pie-auction. my friend wanted to help advertise my cake business. The cake was made from 10 round and to get the dome, a silicon-bundt pan (no hole). I used MMF for the pie crust, lemon wedge and buttercream on rest. to get the browned effect, I dusted with cinnamon. Hope you like it! thanks
this was 4 11 x 15 sheet cakes, 2 layer stacked. 1/2 chocolate 1/2 white the trees and "inner tubes" are made from royal icing and the "campers" are made from MMF. Hope you like it! Thanks!
8" white, 10" choc w/mocha buttercream, 12" white w/strawberry mousse, 14" cherry chip w/choc ganache, 16" choc w/PB mousse. Bride chose design from The Knot magazine. Had trouble with delivery! stacked the 14 &16" layers and 8 & 10" layers to deliver/set up in 3 pieces. But the 14" shifted & 16" filling started bulging! Had to repair border right in front. Any advice on how to deliver/set up cakes like this? It had lots of support & had a long dowel in center after cake set up but is there a better way?
These are the animals I used for The Rain Forest Baby Shower Cake, found in baby shower album. All are made out of MMF.
Inspired by several others from CC, Thanks all! 6, 8, 10 " 2-layer tiers on top of 16" 1 layer square cakes. Frosted and decorated with buttercream. Made all the animals out of MMF. I also uploaded close up of all the animals. I had lots of fun with this one!
I deleted the first one to put this close-up in. This was for a benefit concert themed around Elvis and his songs, with an Elvis impersonator. The face profile was done with color-flow and the other decorations were using easy marshmallow fondant recipe. For the 'records' I put symbols instead of letters for songs titles, ex: blue shoes. This was lots of FUN!
This idea was for a child's first birthday. The parents wanted the birthday boy to have his own cake to demolish! The fish was for him. I used an old egg shaped mold for the fish and most of the decorations were just buttercream. Just the fins were made out of fondant.
This was a 60th birthday cake with a fall scheme. She loves monarch butterflies also! I made all the leaves and butterflies with rolled fondant.
This is a close up of the color flow 'Elvis' and some of the 'record' albums I made.
