Spice Cake with vanialla pudding filling. iced in Buttercream, then hand painted with Gold Luster Dust. ND symbol's were hand made from fondant. It's not great, but not as horrible as it could have been. Definatley need to invest in an airbrush system!!
10" Vanilla Carmel cake, with Chocolate BC icing. Royal icing flowers, fondant pumpkins, acorns, and leaves. Basketweave.
Royal Icing wreaths, Santa's, Snowflakes and Poinsettias
Display cake. Royal icing poinsettia's and candy bulbs.
thanks to kellylow for her cake pics, a huge help on this one. Birthday boy turned 30 on halloween and his wife wanted to incorporate the "over the hill" theme in his halloween cake, so i made a fondant figure of him, looking up at the hill, ready to cross over it. Iced in buttercream with fondant accents. I covered a dowel rod in fondant for the tree. Too late, i realized i iced the "hill" the same color as the sky. oh well, everyone though it was great!
French Vanilla cake with Apple Pie flavored filling. Taste was WONDERFUL!! Simple roses adorned the top.
10th birthday cake for little girl, simple chocolate cake with buttercream icing, edible image and fondant stars attached to floral wire with melted candy. Overall, i was very pleased with how it turned out!
This was hard!! I made it for my newphew's 14th birthday. Banana cake covered in MMF. Antlers were modeling chocolate painted with candy melts. Carving the cake was easy, Thank you SOOOO Much to Ellantehalima for the directions!! But icing it and covering it in 2 different layers of fondant was much harder than i expected it to be. Sometimes, i think my eyes are larger than my ability!
I made this cake for my BIL. My sister wanted over the hill, he didn't. So i made this which i didn't think was too "old" for him. The balloons, crows, and grim reaper were decorations i bought. I made white roses then used black color mist on them. I got that idea from someone on here, but now i can't find her cake to give credit!
Just a cake i made for practice, wanted to try out cornelli lace. It's a lot harder than it looks! And i hadn't made roses in a while either! I need to get back into practice!
Yes, it leans a little bit. I forgot to put dowel rods in it, so i had to take it back apart and stack it again. LOL. My first attempt at a fondant bow too!!And it's really hard to get the circles to maintain their shape when trying to lift them off the mat onto the cake!
Thomas the tank cake, kit from Decopac. Marble cake. Face, smoke stacks, wheels and coal bin are toys from kit. Once i got it stacked and assembled, it was pretty easy to decorate. Added the grass and railroad tracks for extra effect!
Princess Cake for my daughter's 4th birthday. Actually 1 of 2 cakes i made for her party. 8" round Spice cake with Cream Cheese Filling, buttercream decorations. I used Pink, Blue and Yellow color mist under the dolls, which were from a kit from DecoPac. The kit actually called for a sheet cake, and used 4 dolls, but we didn't need a cake that big, so i changed it a bit. She loved it, and i got lots of compliments on it!
Decopac Castle kit, what a disaster for a cake!! Cut to the wrong size, and it just went down hill from there. Supposed to be special for my daughter's birthday, and i hated this darn cake!!

This is my 1st wedding cake!! I made it for my sister's wedding. I have only been doing this since January!!! 6", 8", 10" and 12", all different flavors. Gumpaste Gerbera's in Turquoise, Purple, Neon Yellow and Lime.
Marble fudge cake, buttercream icing, piping gel lake, fondant penguins. The mountains and igloo are made from the mini-wonder mold.
I hate that i still can't get a smooth finish!! from the Wilton Tiered cakes book. Royal Icing Roses and Pink Tulle atop Pink buttercream on top, white on sides. Boy that was hard!! 2 different sized drop flowers and leaves, and fondant hearts! for my mother's birthday! She loved it!
This is the cake i made for my husband's birthday. Boat and Rocks are fondant, the campfire logs are fondant, and the "fire" is just colored piping gel. I couldn't figure out how to make fire, so i just improvised!! Trees are Royal Icing. Not too bad considering i had lots of help from a 3 yr old.
Marble Fudge cake with Raspberry filling, marhsmallow fondant. Gumpaste carnations and heart cutouts. The carnations took forever, but i think they torund out really well!!
My first attempt
Kind of plan because we ran out of time, then i forgot to take a pic before eating it!
6" is lemon cake with lemon mousse filling, 10" is spice cake with Cream cheese filling. 1st time making MMF. Overall i'm pretty pleased. there were a few wrinkles in the covering job but that will get better with practice!! I loved my morning glory's and thought i did pretty good on the roses. Any tips or suggestions to make it better??
What a mess!! I used a dummy for the cake and it was just WAY TOO HUGE!! I couldn't get the fondant rolled out big enought to cover the cake, so it didn't reach the bottom on a few sides. So i got lots of wrinkles that i couldn't get smoothed out. Then because the cake was so tall, what fondant did hang down the sides, hung down so much that it ripped and tore in a few spots. Overall covering job was horrible. made lots of blossoms and dots to cover everything up, then added an extra row of ribbon.
after the head fell off the 1st one, i had to make another cake. This one is chocolate and the little eggs are just Malt Balls. Tasted sooo much better than the one with the broken head. must have messed up the recipe or something.
