Son's birthday cookies for school. Guitar cookies but made to look more like electrical guitars. NFSC with Toba's Glace. YUMMMMMMM
Birthday cake for a 4 year old. Tower is Rice Krispy Treats. 10" Round on the bottom is 4" high and the tower is about 15" from the base to the top of the spire. Cobble look are the duff plates from walmart. They wanted a Tangled cake. I told them what I could do. No faces, no copyrighted material. I am building a portfolio even though I am not a professional (yet!) I want every cake I do to be able to be made for a paying customer! :D Grandmother was nervous about not seeing her face. I said 'Fia will know! :D and she did! She LOVED it and I was told that the mom and her sister stood at the counter in the kitchen and totally tore into the RKT! heehee!!
This actually was for a 10 year wedding renewal ceremony for my good friends. 4 tiers- vanilla almond with raspberry fill (2) and chocolate with cookies and cream fill (2). Green swirls with pink silk flowers and brown satin ribbon. Back corner (extra photo) shows their last name, their initials and each of their children's initials. The kids were so excited to find their initials on the cake! :D When I do a swirl cake I always put a message for the bride and groom hidden in the swirls at the back. It is fun! :D
Klompen Cake with cactus - Groom is Dutch (thus the shoe) and from Arizona (which explains the cactus!) Carved chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling. Cactus is also choc cake with vanilla buttercream with over 700 royal icing cactus spines! Should add that the board is 11x15 and the Klompen is about 6" or so at the top of the foot. I knew what I wanted and came to Cake Central for inspiration. THANK YOU! Found a great Klompen (by KORINE) and it gave me a great starting point! Plus LOTS of looking at Google images! LOL And lots of cacti which it seems most people thanks Collette Peters. So thank you to many cacti makers!
3 tiers. First attempt at quilting. Bride brought me pictures from PinkCakeBox (UGH cause she is amazing!!!) and asked for a present cake. Silver pearls are the new wilton candy pearls. I bought the pearly white ones and rolled them around a bit in NU silver. RI to stick them on. Gumpaste bows and satin/sheer ribbon at bases of tiers.
Cookie toppers are done with Cricut Cake, Doodlecharms cart. Tags were custom made for the birthday girl. I LOVED how they turned out! Fondant is Duff's & it cut like a charm in the Cricut Cake.
I wanted something special for my in-laws 40th anniversary party. So I did a soft pink covered in cornelli lace. Next time I will make a pattern for the ovals....these I freehanded.... lesson learned! Inspired a couple years ago to do a love honor cherish cake by someone on here.... This is my 2nd on the theme.
I threw this cake together in 4 hours so the frosting is a bit sloppy! It was for the blue and gold dinner potluck celebrating 100 years of boy scouts. The top was the logo for the year. on one side is the motto. On another is the BSA Eagle logo. Another side "Do your Best". And the back has the words that a boy scout "is".
Fondant covered. Handmade purple gumpaste roses. Blue RI scrolls and swirls. Pearl dusted fondant "ribbon". Peacock feathers are real.... :D
The baby shower theme was red umbrellas and baby blue. So I hand cut a paisley shape (I don't have that pan yet). Covered in pale blue fondant. Gumpaste umbrella and teddy bear. Umbrella formed over a ball pan (DD pan). I made snakes of gumpaste and adhered those on top of the ball then covered it with saran wrap. then laid the circle of gumpaste on top and used a round cutter to cut out the circle between the ribs. Then I covered a skewer with white for the handle. teddy bear was made ahead of time in pieces and assembled the day of cause cake had to travel 3.5 hours (over the grapevine) and I didn't want to assemble and turn over the fragile umbrella ahead of time!
This cake was made for Fresno State Football Star Ryan Colburn! My first cake for someone famous! :D (His Aunt is a friend) The football is frosted and fondant-ed Rice Crispy treats. My first ever rice crispy formation! Cake is BC frosted with grass tip.
Bride and groom wanted a stack of gift boxes in the wedding colors... Orange and green ... I was nervous but the colors came together great! Thanks to Keetie for the fabulous orange and silver cake/gift table. Major inspiration and launching point!
I just wanted to show the way that I tag and bag my cookies. These are my deluxe tags. Also when I deliver something in a box I use a white box and tie it up with pretty wired ribbon and tape a business card on top. Sugar cookies with Glace.
2-Tier cake with BC frosting and fondant bows and buttons. Coordinating cookies are sugar cookies covered in fondant. Funny story..... My 7 year old DD attended the shower with me and a friend asked her if she could believe the buttons were made of frosting.... My DD just looked at her and then looked at me. My friend goes "really they are". I said.... "she just knows they are made of fondant and wonders if you know that or if you really think they are frosting." It was so funny! She didn't want to be rude and correct her but she didn't know what to say! LOL
Last minute Birthday "cake" for my nephews birthday. Got the idea/directions for the frogs off the web.... don't remember what site.... I was frantically searching for directions on how to make them!
This is a combination of a couple of cakes by Martha Stewart. Bride gave me free reign so I had fun! Although I don't ever want todo this basket weave again it did look gorgeous! double piped vertical and horizontal baketweave, silk florals.
I wanted to try a new (for me) basket weave so I played on a cake pan till I found a pattern I liked. Then I didn't even get a good picture of the side.... one wde flat and two skinny rounds. The accessories are all fondant. Cloth diapers, rattle, pacifier, blanket and safety pins. Blanket edge dusted to look like satin binding.
That's what little boys are made of, made of, That's what little boys are made of! I had so much fun on this one! BC frosted and grass. Fondant blankie and pups and snails. Satin edge is done with luster dust!
Much inspiration taken from numerous cakes on here! If you made one I probably looked at it! THANKS for posting it! Carved cake covered in fondant. Buttons were a design idea added at the last minute cause I waited too late to "stitch" in he baby's name and the fondant cracked! I had been wanting to do one of these forever and finally got my chance. The morning of the shower I found out that it was canceled!! The cake was a gift and I cried knowing mommy would never see it! They rescheduled for the next week and used the cake as DECOR!!!! But at least everyone got tooooh and ahhh even if the didn't get to taste my "Inside-Out Peppermint Patty Cake"
Sq. 9 inch cake. Cake is cut from 1- 8 inch layer and stacked. then some scraps added to top for shape. Chocolate SI marbled with Toba's in white. to get the wood grain you can't see. Learned a lesson on background BC color..... OOPS! Masts and sails non-edible. It really looked cute in person..... I promise! Shark fins are gray fondant.
Teal is BC, 7 inch round cake, brown is chocolate satin ice mixed with some white toba's to lighten it. Shoe is made with gumpaste (Nic. Lodge recipe) - hand molded heel, cutter sole from Global Sugar Art, and completely hand cut upper. I didn't make a pattern I just pieced it as I went. You can see the shoe my SIL gave me to match! NO MORE PUMPS for me! This was hard! Dry dusted with copper and bronze. Inside painted with bronze and cut with scrapbook scissors. I also cut the tag with them.
Birthday cake for my DD 2nd birthday. Based on an Elmo's World theme. I wanted to do something that I could do for a client. I looked everywhere for a small inexpensive toy but no luck!! I found this adorable card though so I covered the bottom edges with press and seal so it wouldn't get ruined and stuck it on top! 9x13 cut in half and stacked. all BC frosted.
Thanks to Bkeith for the article on how to do these! Colors came from a napkin the party planner gave me. I used the PME cutter plunger for the gerbera daisy and followed the tutorial on gefjonsdottir . com (no spaces) Except I used a wilton daisy cutter for the center frilly part. I messed up on her face but didn't want to redo the hair and bonnet (which I loved) so I made do. Next time I am doing the stupid eyes first!
Made for a clients surgical center accounts. Sugar cookies glazed. Ideas taken from BonnieBakes but hers are perfect! Hospital gown, syringe, bandaid, pill, scalpel. All hand cut except the pill. Thanks for checking em out.
