Hand painted cake. Topper is made from RKT, and mostly fondant. The box lid is made with gumpaste. Inside is rainbow cake! So much colour!
15 inch tall carved mud cake. The base of the tower is a 6 inch square.
Fondant-gumpaste figures that are only about 1.5 inches high each. Mud cake on the bottom half, and RKT for the top (just for people we know who don't eat cake). Hand painted mountain and roadway. Cannon at top of cake is filled with RKT and covered in fondant with gumpaste letters.
Free hand painted topper (painted in the black parts). Gumpaste roses, gumpaste spikes, and tire imprint added to the side of the cake.
Free hand, hand painted
Handpainted fondant panels attached to buttercream. 6 inch square cake just over 6 inches tall. I didn't give myself very much time and painted the cake in a couple of hours. Wish I had double the time! It was quite a rush to finish :) A cake in memory of my Grandma who loved this style of art.
Galactic irate birds...hand-modelled from fondant!
RKT covered in fondant with hand-painted details.
Topper is RKT covered with fondant with hand painted details. Fondant covered tiers are decorated without airbrushing! The green dalek is also fondant. And this is my first topsy-turvy cake!
The brick is pressed with an impression plate. The fondant was really dry though so I had to roll the mat into the fondant and then apply it to the cake. The bricks warped a bit here and there. The moss is BC.
All fondant Snow White and doe cake topper. My 3rd attempt at semi-realistic human form. :)
My 4th attempt at a ``human`` cake topper. :)
Up for Cake Club review: A mix of fondant and gumpaste accents. A slight ombre effect on the BC. This is a little 6 inch cake. My design goal was something simple but not boring... This cake was a near complete disaster due to humidity and severe condensation. The topper softened and started to lean the day before the cake. The cake itself was just a weeping, wet mess. I cleaned it up as best I could in the very short time I had left in the morning, but I might have made it worse.
Bottom tier is dark chocolate cake with high humidity frosting (and crushed birthday oreos). top tier is RKT. I wanted to make a colourful and different cake for this theme (most I`ve seen are earthy and neutral). the colors are supposed to be pale pink, and lavender...lighting is a bit weird in this photo and the colours did fade some- from the sun but I had just moved it outside when I took this photo. All decorations are made from fondant. The catbus topper is RKT covered with fondant. I had a lot of trouble designing the bottom tier. The trees didn`t work as well as I would`ve liked...maybe I should`ve painted the trunks on instead of sticking with what i had cut out but the fondant was skirting ever so slightly. The cake was being picked at so I`m not entirely sure if the trunks popped off by accident or if like the acorns they were being pulled off by kids :) And if you aren`t familiar with the movie, the polka dots have eyes to resemble characters in the film. The acorns instead of the usual rolled balls is because acorns are also a part of the story line in the film, which they use to grow trees.
For Cake Club review: Bottom tier is dark chocolate cake with ``high humidity`` frosting. Top tier is RKT. All decorations are made by hand out of fondant with no additives. I didn`t really have the right tools to make the roses and I`m actually surprised they resemble roses! I had an extremely hard time finishing this cake. I intended to do smooth BC but after fighting with it for hours it just was a mess (which I`ve never had happen before), I rolled up some super thin Kwik fondant. I had just enough to cover the cakes...it was a close call. My goal was to make a fun, and slightly different design that wouldn`t be too time intensive to execute. I think if I had more time I would`ve used some different techniques for the swags, and made more of a molded look to the apples...and I have no idea what possessed me to make the birds of happiness angry! But I didn`t have time to make all new ones. I finished this cake about 20 minutes AFTER I was supposed to be at the party.
This is my 6th ever cake! The idea was `being 2 is over the top!` All the animals are hand cut out of fondant. The little ballerina ringmaster is fondant as well.
