Cars!

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

This is an S&S creation (Steph & Shelly ;-) Designed by my sister (Shelly) and I did the basic assembly and fondant and she helped do the accessory fondant decorations. Logo is a chocolate transfer (my first try at it) painted with a silver pearl dust. Real toy cars on top.

Polka Dots!

This was the cake I did for my Wilton Fondant & Gumpaste last class. Wasn’t in the mood for flowers :) So I did MMF for all the accents. The second pic shows the same cake with some gumpaste decorations I made. But I like it better without them ~ just perfect like that.

Aly’s cake…

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

This cake was done for my cousin Alyson for her bridal shower. My sister volunteered me for the job (which I was glad to accept!) and we didn’t let them know what we were planning. Its based off her wedding colors and her “modern” trend ~ she likes funky stuff like this. :) The cake itself is top: white cake, white buttercream icing and strawberry jam filing….middle: yellow cake, coffee buttercream icing, mocha-chocolate pudding filling…bottom: chocolate cake, chocolate ganache iced and filled. All covered in fondant. Topper is calla lilies made from fondant. Many thanks to my big sis who both encouraged me and gave me a hand with the decor placement on this cake.


My hodge podge :)

This was the cake made last night in my fondant/gumpaste class. We worked with a few different fondant techniques & tools. I made it look the best I could with the things we were trying! And we made our carnations so I stuck one on top…



And more flowers :)

Here is another rose I made ~ this time I rolled out the petals thinner. Only problem this time was that the fondant was getting dry (it was a month old by now) so it dried out quicker and broke easier on the edges :( Oh well – but this rose turned out better than my first one. And this time I did a calyx and 3 petals around it…

and this is just some more playing with calla lilies. I made this with thinner fondant/gumpaste mixture and used a smaller cutter. I then thinned the edges more too. to give it that “ruffled” look a bit. Not sure I’m sold on the leaves – I like the concept but I need to work on getting them to appear more smooth/natural.

Swirled Fondant Board & Gumpaste Box

Just started Wilton’s Fondant & Gumpaste course. First class we made a marbled, fondant covered cake board. We also made a gumpaste/fondant blend favor box.
