Summer Dragonflies

 White cake covered in a light fluffy Italian butter cream, filled with a berry filling. Molded playful sugar dragonflies dusted with an eatable sparkle hover over and around the cake.

Perfect for a summer birthday.

Happy Birthday Emmy.

 

Eagle Scout

 I was lucky enough to do a cake for two eagle scouts.

Katie and Jake's Birthday cakes

Sweet Katie wanted the Brave cake like I did before. She wanted red velvet cake and vanilla buttercream icing. Love you Katie.
Jake is a snow boarder so I put him snow boarding down a mountin. He wanted chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. Welcome to the family Jake and happy birthday to you both.

Happy Birthday Zoe!!! Zoe's Rapunzel birthday.

I know I haven't posted much for a while, so, I'm making up for it with a few more posts. :)

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair....

Here is my version of Rapunzel’s tower room. It's complete with painted walls, book shelf with a book she was reading and paint brushes on the table. There is even one on the floor where her "mother" painted the pointy fanged face. Of course she has to have her green friend Pascal as well.

Grandpa wanted me to go all out for his little Zoe, such a softy. The cake is French vanilla and iced with Italian butter cream. The back wall is done from a fondant/gum paste mix (for my students it is the 50/50 mix you learned about in class 3) the table and brushes, along with the rug, and even Pascal are all gum paste details. The floor is fondant and painted by hand.  All the details on the wall are hand painted as well.
Happy Birthday Zoe! :)

Brave Birthday

This was done for one of the nurses that come to check on my step-dad. Thank you ladies for all you do, you are amazing.

The cake is chocolate with a berry cream filling. The frosting is an almond butter cream. To do her hair I striped a piping bag with the two colors the darker I put in the bag first on the one side of the bag and then filled the other side with the lighter color. Instead of a boarder on top I piped her hair coming down over the edges. I used just a touch of gold luster dust that is eatable but does have real gold in it so it should be used sparingly on cakes that are going to be eaten. I just put it on the "H", the "B" and the bottom border.

I loved doing this cake it was so much fun.

Barbie cake

Barbie cakes are a classic for a little girls Birthday. :) This one is a French vanilla Cake with Italian butter cream Icing. (This family loves the Italian butter cream, not that I blame them, it’s yummy.)

 

 

 

Ken

To my sweet brother Ken, I wanted something special just for you on your wedding day as well. I love you.

He loves German chocolate cake so that is just what he got. The outside is iced with a creamy chocolate butter cream and topped with more germen chocolate filling. He loves the outdoors so a sugar picture of him hiking in the mountains is just the thing. The sides are a combination of chocolate icing and chocolate fondant to make the bark of the pine tree. I used a flower center mold to create the texture and cocoa powder and some white petal dust to create the color contrast. I even got to use my airbrush gun on this a little bit to create the color in the knots in the tree.

Again sorry it’s not a better picture.

green scull birthday cake

This is a rich chocolate cake with ganash filling and covered in Italian Butter cream.

This was a fun cake to do with so many details.
The birthday girl wanted green skulls so i had some fun adding those as well.

Baby cake

This was a cake that I did for a school project. Everything on the cake I made. Its a fondant covered cake. The crib is out of the same stuff Necos are made from, but homemade, and gum paste. The string work on the side was also a lot of fun as well. The flowers are also made from gum paste. The edges of the cake were crimped and there is a look of ribbon being threaded in the fondant around the crib.

Navy Cake

This is the Navy emblem of my step dads Unit. I was able to do this cake for there reunion. They didn't want a lot of Icing so I did the top so it was removable. It is done on a board with colored rolled fondant. The gold was painted with edible gold paint. The cake is white cake with Coconut filling and icing. The boarder of the cake is dusted with edible gold powder. I used coconut on the top of the cake so the emblem wouldn't stick to the top of the cake when they lifted it off.
