I thought it would be kind of cool if we started a thread to post our one favorite cake of all time that we have made. Ya know, like the one you are the most proud of--either because of the theme, or technique used or just because it was something you never thought you could pull off...

Here's mine...


I would have to say that this one is my favorite because my son still talks about it and his birthday was over a month ago! For my 4 year old that's a big thing...I can't help but feel special!

All I have to say is WOW!! I won't show my son that because he will want it for his 7th bday, and I know I wouldn't be able to pull that one off! Amazing work. I won't post my favorite, still learning so much, but this will be a fun thread to watch. Good job!

I don't do grand cakes yet, but I think (for the same reasons as you), my favorite cake was the Phantom of the Opera cake I made for my 6 year old daughter's birthday last month. She (like your son) STILL talks about it. She LOVES the Phantom!
I won't post the picture here, but it's in my photos.

Great idea!

I just made this cake last weekend. It was such a fun cake!!!

amazing cake.... wowowowowowow... ok my favorite is probably my bustier, it was easy to make to me but I loved the outcome too.

i don't have all my cakes in my photos..... so I think I am still searching for my "it" cake.

BUt goodness that cake is great....

my scrabble whoee lots of little tiles!!

I think my favorite was the cake I made for my grandson. I actually came up with the idea myself. He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and this is what I came up with.

I'm not really sure which of my cakes are my favorites. Elmo's world, Wiggles, definately the wedding cake, and probably the litter box cake. I put so much into these cakes, that each one holds a special place for me. Good thing I don't do too many.

Fantastic cakes!! My favorite was my son's 5th birthday cake... I never thought I would get all those little fondant figures made! He's still talking about it 2 months later, and he wants the same cake next year! (fat chance!! LOL) I know everyone knows Mario Bros., this cake was meant to represent the Mario Party game, which is like a board game (but it's still a video game)

I would say my "it" cake would have to be my Princess Castle Cake for my daughter. I have gotten so many great compliments from so many people here at CC. Can you believe that after I posted it the first time (2nd time was for a contest), I was so inspired that I decided to bite the bullet and go take Wilton II!?!

All those cakes are amazing. I don't yet have an "it" cake but the cake that I most proud of is my daughters 4th birthday castle cake. I never thought I'd be able to accomplish anything like it and even though there were many flaws, I manage to pull it off thanks to all the help, support and encouragement that I received from CC members.

My favorite cake is my favorite only because of all the hand coloring I had to do. Crouched over that bad boy for hours with a paintbrush and edible ink!! Ugh! But it turned out good, and I love it. I am tempted to remake it in a different pattern!

I am most proud of my "Garden Cake". It won 2nd in the intermediate, non stacked catagory at the 2007 Mid-Atlantic Cake Show. It was the first time I have ever had the nerve to enter a contest of any kind, and my 1st cake show ever. Modeling with fondant is my favorite part of decorating.

I think that is an amazing cake. Wow!!!

I have 4 cakes that I truely love. I will try to post at least one.

Sorry that I added all of them but I couldn't decide.

Man ALL of those are AWESOME!!!

Probably my blue scroll cake in my pics. I get more requests for that design than any other.

I have a few coming up this year that feel like they could be the new "it", though...heh heh

WOW all the cakes posted are so awesome. I don't know which one of mine is "the it cake"........I'm not that great yet

The cake I am most proud of is my first fairy unicorn cake..mainly because it is a cake of firsts.... I love how the colour combo turned out and this was the first decorated cake board too..

My 'it' cake so far would have to be my fantasy theamed cake. I made it for a contest held at Michaels and only 3 people entered. I won but I think I would have won even if more people had entered - it took a lot of work but I love how it turned out!

JaneK - your cake is wonderful - I wish I could do figures like that - and that bow! amazing!

Price, your cake was right next to mine at the MACS, I have it in the background of my teapot cake.

My favorite would have to be my Noah's Ark that I made for a baptism last weekend.

There are some cute cakes here!
I think my it cake is the one I use for my avatar. I don't think it's my best technically, but for fun and color I love it!

I guess it's just the message

This is my favorite, because I never thought I'd be able to pull it off... but I did. And won best of show with it.

WOW! I'm not surprised you won best in show...that is awesome!

My "it" cake was this last wedding cake that I just finished. It is not nearly as detailed as you talented ladies are, but for me it was my best. It was a square cake iced in BC. My corners looked nice and my BC smoothed almost perfectly.

This one is my vary favorite so far.... I think. It kind of a tie between this one and the alligator cake in my gallery. It' fun to see what everyone's favorites are.

this is my favorite.

This is my most favorite cake that I have made so far... I made it for my niece's baptism.
