buttercream with marshmallow fondant accents
These were fun and easy, but a little time consuming because I am soooo slow!
Made this for my son's Game Truck Laser Tag birthday party (a blast!). He loved the LED lights that made the vest light up. Buttercream with MMF accents. Thanks for all the inspiring photos on the gallery that I shamelessly copied.
Made this for my daughter's climbing gym birthday party. She loved it, and so did her friends! It is two 10" x 10" cut in half and stacked with a board between the bottom two layers and top two. I tried to carve it to make it look bumpy, but that was a fail, so I just iced over those parts. Buttercream with MMF accents.
First Communion cake for my son and his friends. Two 18 x 12" cut into pieces for cross using template from this site. The cake was huge and I needed to get a custom cut plywood board 22" x 22" for a base. Even that was almost too small! Foolproof Yellow Scratch cake with buttercream dream icing and marshmallow fondant accents.
Made this for my son's 7th birthday, army party. Carved from two 13x9s and a 10x10. All buttercream with fondant accents.
Made this for my daughter's first communion. I'm giving all the details so I can remember how I did it when I have to make another one for my son's First Holy Communion next year! Four 13 x 9s. Cross is 4"x 4", 18" long, cross piece is 12". Torted and filled. Two batches of buttercream dream for the rosettes and an icing dam, one batch of strawberry buttercream to fill.
27 cupcakes. I needed 2 more to make a more oval face, but oh well. My son loved it.
Thanks Bakerella. These were fun to do and they were yummy.
These were fun and easy. I just cut the faces free hand out of fondant. Melting the chocolate sounded too hard to me. Thanks for all the great examples to copy.
Made this for my daughter's magic party. The hat rim is a cake drum hollowed out in the center for the bunny head and covered in black fondant. The body of the hat is buttercream with fondant accents. I had some cute stars on cake wire to add, but I couldn't get them to push through the cake board hat rim. The bunny's whiskers fell off in the morning, so I re-made them a little thicker. This cake was easy to transport in two pieces. It was my first time trying to cover anything in fondant - you fondant people must be magic because it was hard! I won't be trying that again anytime soon.
I have been wanting to make this one for a long time! Thanks to Turtlecakes for the design which I totally copied. This one was easy and fun to do!
Made these for Valentine's party at my son's school. I need to work on my roses - the buttercream kept tearing.
Thanks for all of the wonderful examples. These were at hit!
Made this for my son's Fall Festival at school. Anything "Halloween" was banned, so I decided to do a scarecrow. Buttercream with fondant accents. This one was fun to do. If I made it again, I'd make the straw a little lighter in color and I would try to make the straw not so curly.
Made for my son's classmates to help celebrate his 5th birthday. A direct copy of other cuppies I have seen in the gallery. I ran out of Viva towels so I couldn't smooth very well.
Made for my son's 5th birthday party. I made the hood too high and then couldn't put a windshield on. Look out! Here comes the Fun Bus! My son didn't care, and the other parents at the party like my cake.
Made these for my son's Junior K graduation. The hats are a half marshmallow dipped in white chocolate topped with a white chocolate square. My little guy loved these because his hat was white with a purple tassel!
Made this one for my son's 2nd birthday. All buttercream over vanilla cupcakes filled with raspberry jam filling. I used Bailey's vanilla coffee creamer in my buttercream dream icing and it was fabulous. I copied nhbakingmom's design for this cake; thanks for your inspiration!
I made this for my sister's baby shower just in case the jungle cake didn't turn out. I was afraid to not have a back-up cake just in case some disaster occurred. Thankfully my other cake was presentable, so we just gave out these cupcakes in bento boxes as favors.
Made this for my sister's baby shower. It is my attempt at copying Nanabug's fabulous design. Thanks to Nanabug for helping me by answering my many questions, and for providing such a cute cake to copy! This cake is strawberry with SMBC filling. The fondant is Macsmom's version and it tastes incredible. I had a little trouble because the fondant was a little sticky and my stripes kept stretching out of shape, but other than that, I would make that fondant again.
I think there are 25 cupcakes. When I first crumb coated it, it looked like a brontosaurus, and I didn't think I could make it turn out. My first time with basket-weave. I watched a 2 minute You-Tube tutorial to figure out how to do it. It might be time for some real lessons!
Made these for my daughter to take to school for her birthday. Thanks to Nefgaby for the wonderful idea!
Cake for my daughter's 6th birthday. She had a "garden theme." All buttercream. I copied SweetArt's design. Take a look at hers, it is gorgeous (mine is a pretty lame imitation). Thanks for the inspiration!
My first cupcake cake! Thanks to fat-sissy and 2kiddos for your fantastic cakes and great inspiration, you are both very talented. I had to make two of these for my kids class parties.
Made for my 4 year old's birthday.
