Live, Laugh, Love...

So, I made this wedding cake for a wedding in which the colors were black, pink and aqua. the bride brought in an "inspiration" pic and then made a few changes to her idea of the design. The finished product:



Okay, so I forgot to get a nice picture of the cake before I delivered it, so I had to "borrow" a picture from the actual wedding album. lol...

Lightening McQueen

I have a nail client that asked me to do a cake for her son. He's turned five and LOVES the movie, "Cars". (Who doesn't?) lol... So, she asked for a black and white checkered cake with Lightening McQueen on top. :) As well as her son's name written somewhere. Here it is:

Puppy Cake

So, I got an order the other day for a birthday cake. The person said it was for a little girl named Joslyn, turning five. She loves puppies, the color purple and the color blue. So, this is what I ended up with. (and I promise the icing is purple in person. :P It just looks blue in the picture.)

Older cakes I am FINALLY posting pics of.

"Welcome" Cake

It's been awhile since I made carnations. However, I was asked to make a cake with red, purple and white carnations for a co-worker. Her father is coming to visit from Australia and she wanted to have a "welcome" cake for him when he got here.





I made the carnations and thought that they just needed something extra so I added edible glitter to the petals. It looked great. The carnations shimmered. It almost gave the appearance of dew drops on the flowers.

The cake turned out beautiful and my co-worker and her dad loved it!

Twilight Birthday Cake

Okay, so this was my first time working with Choco-pan fondant. It was alot stickier and much harder to use, but it had much better flavor. The white wasn't quite as difficult as the black, but the black kept drying out and I had to keep steaming it to get it to form to the cake.

The chess pieces took longer to mold than I expected, and much longer to make than the flowers, but I liked them once they were done.



All in all, I think it turned out okay. Of course, I just look at the things I should have done differently, but the birthday girl loved it, so that's all that matters. :)

Black, white and red

A co-worker asked me to make a cake for her daughters 10th birthday. They wanted it two layers with black, white and red flowers. She wanted buttercream frosting, but didn't want it smooth. She also had a red ribbon she wanted draped on it. Whew! Lots of requests. But I got it done last night. I would have liked it better with fondant, but oh well.

First Post

Okay, so I guess I'll start the first post. :)

I made a cake for a friend of mine the other day. Her little girl turned 5 and really wanted a Tinkerbell cake.



My friend really wanted "rainbow chip" cake, and I learned that it is a very crumbly cake, and very difficult to frost. lol... I filled the bottom layer with a delicious strawberry filling, and the top layer was just filled with buttercream, since she wanted some plain cake for the kids.

The entire cake was frosted with buttercream icing, and then decorated with many royal icing flowers and little toadstools made from Hershey's hugs and kisses with chocolate twizzler pieces for stems.

I had alot of fun making this one. I really got to play around with my imagination. :)
