Hello Kitty

Another Hello Kitty, this one a little different though. The last one I use the star tip to cover the whole thing, yes my hand almost fell off, but this one I covered with fondant and then covered that with sugar crystals to make her look sparkly and a little more girly and fun.

Mickey Mouse

In Kloudias social studies class they were doing a fake trip across the country, in her group their trip started at Disneyland and it was the last day of school before Christmas break so I made her a Mickey Mouse cake for her class. The sizing and dimensions are a little off but for some reason this was the day I needed to be up early to finish and my alarm chose not to go off so the picture is a little rough and it is not as great as I wanted it to be but for having about 2 hours I think it looks pretty awesome.

Piano

A friend of ours teaches piano so for the recital for her students she asked me if I could do a piano for her. This is just a basic cut out that I used a pattern that I copied from the internet onto wax paper, then used fondant for the keys. It was really short notice which I was super bummed about because I really wanted to do a big stand up piano but there wasn't enough time.

Tree of Life

On Prasila's baptism day she decide she wanted something with the tree of life. So we found this fake plant that we spray painted gold and tried to arrange to look like a tree. Then I made a little girl out of fondant to look like her holding to the iron rod walking down the path to the tree. We wished we had some dry ice or something to make the black side look just a little more dramatic but it turned out great anyway.

Iron Man

This was the easiest ckae ever! Sounds crazy I know, but I think it took me only about 4 hours from start to finish if thatt long. I got this really neat cake pan for Halloween that is a skeleton head, so I just used that pan and filled in the face part to make it smooth and then covered it with fondant. I had to mix a couple different colors and then airbrush it to get the right red color which is not exactly right but the parents and the little boy loved it. The little boy actually cried because he wanted to know where his cake was! His mom had to cut it to prove it was really his cake!

Baby Shower

I have wanted to do this cute baby cake forever, but people always had their design picked out already. So finally I was asked to do a cake and they gave me free reign to choose whatever design I wanted, I was so excited! But with my excitement came some problems also, one being my forgetfulness on how much fondant it takes to cover a cake this big. So if you notice the flesh tones to be a bit off.......well I tried my very best to match. The other is the bubbling problem I had with the fondant, not really sure what happened this time but the fondant I have done since then has worked perfectly. So I guess moral of the story is.......don't get too excited until its done!!

Tiki Cake

This cake was super fun to do it was really easy and playfull. The whole thing is cake, the face is just stacked and filled cakes on top of another cake for the base. The whole thing is covered with buttercream with fondant decorations.
