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.

ladybug cake

Here a quick cake I made for Laura for her birthday. If I had time I would have done the face better. I didn't even get a chance to clean it up like I like. As it was we ended up singing to her at 9:00pm. Oh well!

Super Hero Cake

Our little customer couldnt decide who he liked best: Batman, Superman or Spiderman. So we put them all into one cake. This cake started out as a huge disaster (due to my newbie fondant making skills) but as always Gabby pulled out another miracle (with the help of corn syrup) and we saved the day. The finished product was worth it. The fondant just kept ripping and crumbling and it was just horrible. It definatly will take a little practice to get it right. Grant it is not perfect but Im sure our little 5 year old didnt see all the "mistakes"

Brownies

I thought it would be fun to decorate some brownies for a nieghbor who is going through a rough time. I just frosted them with chocolate frosting and layed fondant over them. I had fun with the brushing.

Twinkle, Twinkle...

When we were making the Super Hero cake I had extra cake, so we made this for one of Daves co-workers who just had a baby.

Cupcake Mania!

If I had it to do over, I wouldn't have put the folds in the "cupcake liner". I would have only done the lines with my mini pizza-cutter tool thingy.

Just for fun...

I was trying a new lemon cake recipie the other day and I was feeling a bit..."inventive" that day so this is what I came up with. It is a lemon cake with a blueberry filling (hence the fondant lemon and blueberries on top). I iced it by taking a 1M tip and just doing a shell border all the way around. I thought it was kind of cute and super fast and easy. I'll post the "Sour Lemon" cake recipie once I perfect the recipie.
