Scallop Cake

I did this for a baby shower for some friends. Gabby made all the flowers. They are made by cutting out 3 different sized circles and lightly ruffling the edges on the thin foam with the ball tool.

1 year anniversary cake

Here is the one year anniversary cake. I like the way it turned out.

Talent Show

Here it is finally.... it only took a month to post it. This cake was for our ward talent show. The theme was "Every good gift is from God." which was written on the tag hanging off of the gift box bow. They wanted all kinds of talents showcased. It was a lot of fun to do and a lot of work. I took these when the cake was put together at home so it looked better when we got there. When they announced that it was time for cake there was a line before we even got there to cut it. They were all very excited to eat it. There was a strawberry cake with whipped buttercream and pinapple filling (SO GOOD) and a lemon with rasperry filling, and chocolate with fresh strawberry filling. Notice the artist pallet as the cake board. Gabby again. The crazy one.

phantom of the opera cake

Here's the final result. Thanks Heather for the advice. I didn't have time to do the piano keys, it probably would have been just the right touch...oh well!

Little Mermaid Coral Cake

Un-birthday Topsy Turvey

Here is our first topsy turvey. It was a lot of fun to make. Here is the concept and the actual. We ended up making a fourth layer. The teirs are 10", 8", 6" and the cupcake on top is 3". The dark blue bow broke during transportation, so we took the light one in back and swaped them. It ended up looking just fine. It was a Alice in Wonderland inspired Unbirthday Mad Hatter themed party. They wanted the colors to be red, yellow and blue. It looks like a Disney Princess cake. It was about 3 feet tall.

Princess and the Frog

This was Lizzy's "Princess and the Frog" inspired cake. I was suprised at how easy and quick the pillow was to do. i just carved the sides in and layed the fondant on and quilted using a ruler and my embossing tool. It probably took me 40 min. total to carve and color and cover and quilt and draggee. all the pillows that I saw online were rounded on top but I carved the middle going inward with a X shape. (It ended up not mattering because I put the lilly pad on top).
Lizzy thought of the blue color for the pillow because it was "like water" which I thought was genius. I was just gonna do purple.
The lilly pad was just a circle then I went over the edges to give them a wavy look and of course put the lines and the slit in it. Looking at the picture now, I think the lilly pad should be bigger. Everything was sprayed with a pearl luster dust-vodka mix.
The crown is gumpaste and I just cut it out with a large cookie cutter and let it dry in my Wilton Flower former tray. Then painted purple. I should have tinted the gumpaste and then sprayed it with the color.
The buttons on the tassel are wierd but it was late at night and I was tired and didn't care all that much. I couldn't think of anything else to do at the time. I hand-rolled the tassel strings. BTW-Jacob actually made me an extruder everyone! I was SO excited! He just needs to drill the hole sizes that I want into the different tips that he got. Now that I did this pillow with the tassels, I now know what size holes to make him do!
The lilly flower was made out of a cutter in my Wilton flower kit. I really just winged it. I shaped it in a cupcake tin and let it dry. I wish I could have dusted the lilly flower better but I wasn't that into it. Maybe next time I will color the gumpaste slightly as well. The ends are really fragile as you can tell. one petal broke and some are just curled up a little.
Lizzy loved it and it was really fun to make.
Thanks for the ganache tips, Shelley! It tasted like heaven. :)

Christmas Wedding

Here is a very small cake (68 serv) that I did on the 19th of Dec. It was cutting a little too close to Christmas for me. It was done with whipped icing. I loved the glittery red ribbon that I used on it. I got the roses from Sam's club...way better than the one's at Costco. They were beautiful.

The best compliment I got was from the bride, she said..."My mom & I think that is the most beautiful wedding cake we've ever seen"

Hunter Cake

Here is our first wedding cake. It went really well. Everything went very smoothly and everyone loved it. I think the hardest part was cutting the cake. The chocolate cake was too moist and looked sloppy after cutting. Does anyone have a good chocolate cake recipie for us to use? The top teir (plus a sheet cake) was white cake. The middle was marble and the bottom was chocolate.

"EASY" mini roses

Here is the video that I was telling you about Heather. I obtained some kinda bad shots of the cupcakes that I did Saturday. I will try to get better ones from the photographer.

may wedding

Here's a cake I did back in May. It's weird to even say back in May, it really didn't seem like it was 3 months ago. Anyway, typical wedding cake but I know you were asking me Heather where the pictures were. I still have to get pictures for 4 other cakes I've done recently.

Pink Gift Box Cake

This is the one we did last weekend. I was super fun to make. The flowers, tissue, tag, pearls and bow are made out of gumpaste. The rest is fondant. She asked for a pink girly cake with daisies and the execution of the cake was up to us. It was really cute. (Gabby if you have better pictures then u should post them :-) ) Shelley, where are your cakes??

Rothko Cake

This is a surprize birthday cake for one of our visiting teaching girls. Her husband wanted a special cake just for her. She loves the artist Rothko and calla lillies. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate hazelnut icing with toffe crumbs. We made gumpaste canvases and painted them with full strength wilton coloring gels. Each canvas was a different Rothko painting. We made the calla lillies out of gumpaste. Edna's videos were the best tutorials on how to make them. We would have put more flowers on but we were planning on using a smaller cake when we made the flowers. This is our first for profit cake. It went really smothly and the painting was so much fun.

Royal Icing Petunias

I thought these turned out really well and she is good at explaining it.

cupcakes

Here are some cupcakes I made last week. The first picture is the stuff that she gave me for inspiration. She said that she didn't care if I used gumdrops to decorate for the flowers just like the magazine cover.....pssssshhhhhtt what kind of cake decorator does she think I am??? So, instead I used fondant flowers that looked similar to the gumdrop flowers...humpf I showed her, gumdrop flowers indeed. All kidding aside she went crazy for them, it was a great deal because I traded some horse lessons (for Hailey) for the cupcakes. So, instead of the 1 horse lesson we agreed on before I brought the cupcakes I got 2. Like beth always says, they don't look as good in the pic as they really did but you get the idea.

purse cake for relief society activity

so here it is the purse cake i made for the activity for relief society, i didn't want to do a huge cake so i made this one instead, my second fondant cake, i must say that i loved making it, i was nervous when i was putting the fondant on it, but i did good, ohhhh i am missing it....but i know is in a better place now...... ps. the flower and handle are made of gumpaste, i found my inspiration on http://www.thecakegirls.com/

Tinker bell cupcakes

this are the cupcakes i made for ale's preschool, she loved them, and every mom from the preschool loved them too, they were pretty fun to make, time consuming .... the cake was going to be like the cupcakes but they took me forever to make them that i changed the cake design, but now i wish i didnt.........
