Spongebob

Spongebob! Very proud of myself, this was all freehand. The girls have a big pillow that is shaped like Spongebob so I just used that as a reference. The whole thing is done in buttercream exept the legs, shoes and arms are fondant.

Spring wedding

And finally my masterpiece!! This was a wedding cake done for some friends from church, the only request they had was to make it springy. All three tiers are different flavors with different designs but all were covered in mmf. The flowers are silk flowers. I found that easier than trying to find the perfect, non-pesticide, in season, affordable real flowers in Alaska. It turned out beter than I could have hoped, I actually shed a tear or two when I finally finished!

Mad Hatter

All right with this one please dont pay any attention to the mess surrounding the cake! This cake was one of my few meltdowns. Our friends daughter was having an Alice in wonderland 15th birthday party. So she wanted a chocolate mocha cake for the hat and then the bottom was a basic white stacked cake filled with buttercream. So the bottom turned out awesome, then it was time to make the hat. I found an awesomely yummy recipe for a chocolate mocha cake that I baked in different shaped pans and then stacked with the mocha cream as the filling. So to make a long story short this is the third attempt at the hat after the first one collapsed and then was thrown on the floor, then after being re-baked again it was not tall enough, so finally a third batch was perfect! The brim of the hat was made from gum paste which unfortunately cracked when I added the cake to it, then my first time airbrushing had the purple way darker than I had intended. But thank goodness the party was on Halloween night which made the cake seem perfect!!

Graduation

A very good frien of our graduated from college so his wife had me make this for a surpriswe for him. The cake is actually chocolate chip banana bread that I baked in this shaped pan instead of like a loaf, then frosted with chocolate ganache and used buttercream for the details. It was sooooo good!

First Communion

This one is another awesome carrot cake but this time I did the cream cheese frosting underneath the fondant. This was also a shaped pan and I just had to put the details on.

Strawberry Shortcake

So everytime I do these type of vakes I feel like I am cheating. But on the other hand they go so quick and turn out so cute and I dont have to trace or cut anything! It is a shaped pan that I just have to fill in with buttercream frosting. This one just happened to be a strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.

Roller Skates

A friend of mine works with a lady who does roller derby so they asked for a cake for her for her birthday. The cake is the best carrot cake ever made (from scratch by me of course)! The frosting is cream cheese frosting which is not the easiest for decorating and making completely smooth. The skates and stars are made from fondant. For the skates I made a pattern from wax paper that I traced from the internet. The laces are also fondant that I halfway mixed different colors together to make them rainbow colored.

Hannah Montana

This one was pretty fun to make. All I did was find a big picture of a guitar on the internet and then I used wax paper and traced the shape from the computer. Then I baked a half sheet cake and cut it using the wax paper pattern I traced. Super simple! Then I used a regular 9x13 pan and cut it and peiced it together for the neck of the guitar. Then covered it in mmf and added all the details. The name on it doesnt say Hannah because I wanted it to say the little girls name. I used a piping gel tranfer to copy the way Hannah Montana is written and then just changed the letters. She loved her cake!

Wrestling

This one was sort of my first themed cake. The top and the words on the side are mmf and the black sides are buttercream . The ropes and the corners of the ring are from an actual toy wrestling ring so they are not edible.
