Birthday cupcakes – improvised.

Posted in My Cakes, tagged , on November 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I had a cute, themed idea for Braiden’s birthday party. Alas, I decided 8 year old boys would not appreciate the time it was going to take to make them so I opted to let them decorate plain cupcakes themselves.
Needless to say, it was a hit. They were spraying the disgusting Color Mist directly into [...]

Half sheet birthday carrot with cream cheese icing and filling. Fondant tree and (gigantic ha) pumpkin and real acorns.
This was the largest carrot cake I’ve made, and unfortunately not my best but no one seemed to notice and gave a load of good reviews – hooray. I doubt I’ll do one that big again as [...]

Saturday Shower

 Bridal Shower:  Cream and brown with fall colors.
Quarter sheet in carrot cake and cream cheese.  Fondant leaves, gum paste mums,  real acorns – luster dusted.
My fondant letters backfired but in the end it came out okay.  Definitely a good learning tool for the next fall cake coming up!

Farewell cake: papa edition

Posted in My Cakes, tagged , , , , on September 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Very rarely do I make anything for my dad since he doesn’t really eat sweets. But he didn’t actually eat any of this one so it’s okay!  It was darned good cake underneath (underneat ha) if I toot my own horn.
Which was good because when you ask at the last minute you’re getting party sprinkles and [...]

Okay, I admit I was super excited when I got the call
The icing’s holding up pretty well, it’s cute they tried to wrap it up though - who’s going to eat cheese-product that’s been sitting in a humid gym.

19th Hole

Retirement sheet cake
half chocolate, half lemon, buttercream icing/filling
This was my first lemon cake – I hope it wasn’t too obvious to them. Personally I think it could’ve handled more lemon, my assistant said no. Though he’s only partial to vanilla or white so I can’t fully trust his judgement!
Yes, those are sugar bottles [...]

Georgia Peaches

 White half sheet cake, raspberry filling, buttercream with fondant accents.
The peaches are cake from a half ball pan. 
Braiden thought I was attempting another practice ”belly cake” and now that I look at the finished cake I see why   Luckily they loved the cake and saw them as peaches.  They might be a biased family since [...]

New addition to the nest

Rose pink/chocolate brown baby shower
Cake: 6/10 inch carrot with cream cheese icing and filling; fondant accents

 

I learned a thing or two about coloring cream cheese icing for next time, but I think it came out pretty close to what I was picturing. Even better that the family liked the end result!
Inspirations provided by:
Lotta Jansdotter chick [...]
