Another 1st Communion cake – this time an 8″ square buttercream cake with fondant dots.


Welcome to my cake blog ~ these are my cake creations. I love cake decorating. I have been doing it in general since my daughter's first birthday in 2003 but in Feb of 2007 I began taking Wilton courses to learn technique. The rest is history :) Feel free to browse each page or by categories (on the right). If you have any questions, please feel free to email me: cakes@halderman.net

This cake was made for someone receiving a STAR award at my mom’s work. Their logo is a tree. This is an 11×15 cake with buttercream and the tree trunk, leaves and star are fondant.

Here is a sheet cake and 65 cupcakes I made for a grand opening of Marian’s new Appleton location. The cupcake colors represent the schools logo color of royal blue and the team color of burgundy.  The seal on the cake is made from gumpaste to replicate the seal from their website (see below). I then hand drew on the lettering and flame/torch design. Letters on cake are fondant cut outs and all the flowers on the cupcakes are fondant cut outs.
This is the seal that I replicated from

And here are the remaining 4 dozen!

Its that time of year…so many great accomplishments. Congrats to all the graduates out there. Today’s cake is a high school graduate who also is an avid hockey player. School colors were maroon/white and the hockey colors blue/white. This cake is a 10″ – 12″ tiered cake. The grad cap on top is gumpaste (and edible). Everything is edible
 Well except the support dowels

Here again is an S&S creation made by my sister and I. This cake is a 6″-8″-10″ that we made for her church gathering. Fondant covered with fondant flowers.

I know … football season is ended now. Done and over… BUT I still had this extra logo waiting for use! I had made up two of these for another cake (in case one broke) so this is the leftover. The logo is made from a royal icing type medium…traced out and filled in, then left to dry/harden. The rest of the cake is buttercream frosting.  I had extra green from the last packers cake too so I pulled that out to use. This was my “demo” cake from cake class last night that I used to show them how to base ice a cake.

This is an 11×15 sheet cake with fondant flowers around it, palm trees made with fondant on 1/2″ dowels and the figures are fondant/gumpaste. Cake is iced with buttercream icing.
