I made this cake for my son's second birthday back in October 2014. The tiers are 8-inch and 6-inch, three layers each of fresh pumpkin cake, filled and iced with milk chocolate ganache, then coated with homemade marshmallow fondant. The cake was hand painted for an ombre effect. Spiderweb and bunting string were also hand painted. Pumpkins, bears, ghosts, topper, name plaque, and candy corn bunting are all hand made from gumpaste. The vampire bear is my favorite. =)
I made this cake for our family Christmas gathering in 2014. It's a 9 inch, double layer of poached pear and cranberry cake, filled with marscarpone frosting, covered in swiss buttercream and marshmallow fondant, and garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs. The bow, gift tag, holly leaves, and berries are all edible gumpaste. The snowflakes on the side of the cake were punched out of edible wafer paper.
My husband's name is Thor, so when his birthday came around I of course had to make him a cake shaped like the Norse god of thunder's hammer, Mjölnir. The cake is banana, per request, covered in chocolate ganache and paneled with homemade black fondant. The handle is rice crispies treats covered in fondant. Truth be told, I couldn't get the handle to stay on because it was too heavy and at the time I was clueless about sculpted cake construction, which is why his hand is wrapped around it in the pictures. But it was my first sculpted cake, so you live and learn. All of the silver detail work is hand painted as well as the board. The runes on the front of the hammer read "Happy Birthday Thor"
I made this simple and sweet cake for Valentine's Day 2015. It's red velvet with cream cheese icing. I used a Wilton 1M tip to do the rosettes.
I made this cake for a (nearly) 50th anniversary. My client gave me a general idea of what she wanted, and was awesome enough to trust me with the design. I used my almond lavender cake recipe, filled it with strawberry buttercream, and covered the cake in homemade marshmallow fondant. The pearls and the rose are completely handmade from gumpaste. This was my first attempt at a realistic rose, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. =) All of the gold on the cake is hand painted.
This cake was made to be auctioned at a charity event, so I tried to keep things relatively neutral in terms of color palate and flavors. So I went with a classic yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and marshmallow fondant. The Palomino is completely made from gumpaste, and all of the flags are hand painted. (The green gingham flags are my favorite)
