Everything is edible except the boards the cake sits on. Used edible images for the package labels and the book covers. Carved the Bible from rice Krispy treats. Used a paper template for cutting the green fondant continents. Cake is triple chocolate fudge, marble and vanilla (3 flavors in one slice, two layers of vanilla filling).
Two tier anniversary cake with fresh red roses, piping gel hand painted with gold Rolkem luster dust. First time trying this technique, everyone was very pleased with the results! Bottom tier Triple Chocolate Fudge with Chocolate Mousse filling. Top tier Coconut Vanilla Rum filled with Vanilla Mousse and fresh strawberries.
Three tiered cake with silver edible sequins, fondant flowers and fresh roses
Baby shower for Reece.... Peanut baby cup ;-)
Damask stenciling over buttercream, for vintage themed wedding
First try at stenciling with Designer Stencils. Made the bow topper and ribbon from fondariffic and satin ice. Three tiers of Triple Chocolate Fudge marbled with French Vanilla, Rum buttercreamm. 12"/9"/6". Very sweet bride and groom ... knew I had not stenciled before and was willing to be flexible if the designs had to be done with the Cricut instead. Fun cake!
This was my first attempt at a ruffle cake, I have been looking forward to an opportunity to finally try it. Learned a lot, and can't wait to give it another shot! The bride and groom loved it. Two tiers 6"/9", lemon with raspberry filling and white chocolate with raspberry filling.
OK, decorating this cake kicked my butt, LOL. The good news is that I now have a good understanding of how to use my Cricut Cake machine! The black decorations are all done with Cricut, the purple anemone flowers are hand made from fondant. This is for my display at a local bridal boutique, and it's the first really good cake picture we have managed to get in quite some time! The kids enjoyed taking dummy jokes to a whole new level while I was decorating .... which certainly lightened the mood when I would get frustrated with the Cricut. Happy to add this skill set to my lineup!
This was a three tier wedding cake in 7", 10", 14", done in dark ivory buttercream with white cornelli accents, handmade fondant pearl border painted with pearl/luster dust, dark chocolate fondant roses and ivory fondant roses, dark chocolate leaves. Bride wanted "simple elegance", and everyone loved the cake (white chocolate with raspberry creme filling). I wish my picture was better, but the photographer is emailing me a new one soon ;-)
This was for a medieval/renaissance themed wedding. The cake matched the bride's dress, and they were both lovely ;-) 10"/8"/6" triple chocolate fudge with almond buttercream. Really enjoyed making this one!
This was so much fun to make! Took inspiration from others posted, and gave it a shot. The legs are cake with frosting & fondant, the feet and blanket are formed from fondant. The purple butterflies are from the Cricut machine, everything else was done by hand or with cutters. The cake is Pineapple with whipped Coconut Rum buttercream (yum!). Gotta love those edible baby toes ;-) I took some side & back shots, will try to post those later.
So much fun making this! Black and purple daisies, dots and stripes. White chocolate with raspberry creme filling for the top two tiers. The bottom tier was triple chocolate fudge with strawberry filling.
This was frosted & decorated in a hotel room for an anniversary party. White BC, black fondant and fresh red roses that smelled almost as good as the cake! Triple chocolate fudge with strawberry filling 7 inch and 10 inch. Beautiful cake, terrible picture, lol!
Pink buttercream, black fondant accents, white daisies, cornelli lace. used JEM cutter for black fondant border, used a decorating tip to cut holes in the black fondant. Had fun making this one, but it is not a "perfect" as I would like it to be - had 24 hours notice and did this cake in a matter of hours. 5"/7" rounds.
Really hard to get a good shot of this cake due to lighting & colors used ... purple & teal gumpaste roses with a cornelli lace design. Bride was looking for a simple, traditional look. Will post more pictures soon.
Bride's colors are violet, black and white. She is going for a daisies, dots & stripes theme for her wedding, so we did the bridal shower cake tied in with that theme. Bottom tier is white chocolate with raspberry, BC with fondant cut outs, top tier is WASC chocolate covered in Satin Ice. Brushed a vanilla extract/luster dust sheen over the top tier. Wording is done with alphabet cutters, size is 5" over 10" (with the 5" set back 2" from back edge of the 10"). I somehow keep getting the daisy cakes, LOL! Must be my signature flower :-)
Did the flowers on this one from silk ... was handed a bunch of stems and told to knock myself out ... so I did :-) 16" square, 12" and 8" rounds, all in vanilla with raspberry cream filling.
Vanilla/raspberry covered in Satin Ice vanilla fondant. I thought they placed some rather large flowers on it, but .... to each his own!
finished this cake up today ... it is white chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Buttercream with chocolate MMF and vanilla Satin Ice designs. Daisies are 50/50 fondant and gumpaste. This was a fun cake! The only thing I am not happy with was my random placement of the large flower on at the base of the cake. Hope they enjoyed it!
Crystals and silver ribbon .... white choc cake with raspberry filling. Bride wanted that row of frosting added on top when we arrived.
This was the MOST fun to make ... it was the durable cake recipe for all 3 layers. Bottom was choco fudge, middle was white choc w/raspberry filling, top was lemon. All done in buttercream (1/2 butter 1/2 Crisco) with MMF. Roses on top were mmf/gumpaste mixture. It didn't turn out *exactly* like I had hoped ... but overall I am pleased! Forgot the right tip for the border, so it is a little too foofy for my taste, but it had to do. WOO HOO! I did it!!!
Here is another shot of the cake, a more closeup view (unfortunately, it shows one of the few places where my cornelli lace wasn't *quite* perfect!). Had fun with this cake!
MMF over buttercream ... used Cake Mix Extender w/French Vanilla. Strawberry Crema filling. See post in Cake Disasters ...
