Globe cake!

2009-11-16T11:21:00.000-08:00

My first sphere, this cake definitley presented some challenges. The first attempt was for the whole thing to be cake, but that ofcourse was too much weight, so i opted for plan B. The bottom half is styrofoam. placed atop a piece or sterilazed PVC pipe which is also covered in fondant. I made matching cupcakes to make up for the lack of cake :/ but they ended up really loving it! :) Im a perfectionist so i was determined to get this cake to stand up! lol The moon orbiting the earth is also a small styrofoam ball covered in fondant that i added some crators to. She requested that the happy birthday shout out come from Houston, TX, so i did my very best to pin point it! the globe as a whole is not EXACT...but i got as close as i could for the time I was allotted, this was a very last min request. :)

2009-11-02T08:38:00.000-08:00

I had a very busy weekend!!!!! I took some vacation from my full time job Thrusday and Fri, and worked on nothing but cakes for two solid days, My friend Amanda was great help and helped me assemble everything and prep. :) shes a true God-send! the goofy cute pumpkin was for my Friends party, the scarey pumpkin was for another freinds party and teh thriller cake was for a dance companies party. All of these cakes have homemade buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting. :)

Birthday cake and Marine cake

2009-10-27T11:28:00.000-07:00

A birthday cake I made for My friend Thaos b-day, teh bottom is chocolate cake and the top is half strawberry, half white cake per request. This was also my first attempt at teh whole 3-d wire decor. :) The second cake is a marine cake that a friend asked me to make for their son who was leaving for the Marines. Two layer chocolate 12" bottom with chocolate icing and two layer choclate 10" top. Hand painted gold with edible godl paint. This was my biggest cake yet, so ofcourse it was a bit of trial and error...but now i know! :)

2009-10-14T14:48:00.001-07:00

This is a Marine cake I made for my boyfriends good friend Jerry. Hes a marine and very proud of it so we thought this would be a great idea. :) Its a two layer 6" choclate cake with chocolate icing. Covered in black Satin Ice fondant (vanilla flavored). I used everclear to mix with the gold dust to make a golden paint (highly reccomended).

Cherry checkered cake

2009-09-23T07:53:00.001-07:00

This is a special request from my co worker Neil. He wanted a cake that had something to do with cherries, (his girlfriend loves them) so this is what i came up with, i feel my design is very origional and i am quite happy with it. :) now the red hands......well i forgot to buy red fondant so i had to make the gumpaste for the cherries red...yep, my hands are still kinda red (2 days later) lol

This cake is a double layer choclate fudge with buttercream icing. I used a 3 inch deep 8 inch round pan.

Autobot cake

2009-09-23T07:47:00.001-07:00

Autobot success!!! My friend Vy asked me to make one for her boyfriend for his bday. i think i did pretty well! :) I baked a one layer choclate cake and froze it, cut the face shape out with a Cutco butcher knife and coincidentally, i found a transformers icing color kit while i was buying cake boards. sweet.

Steak anyone?

2009-09-08T09:04:00.000-07:00

I free-handed this steak cutout. Its a double layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I sketched a steak on top of teh cake with a toothpick and stood over the cake with a butcher knife facing straight down so i could cut around my sketch evenly. then using the cake board that i traced the cake with i was able to make up teh center inlay of the steak.
I bought him a new cutting board (because he hates mine) and got him a never before used vintage cutco butcher knive. I think it made for an awesome presentation!
I included a pic next to Shans cake, seeing as I made them both at once. We had a bbq for the both of them, since their bdays are on teh same day. and man o man, two cakes at once is crazy! o_O

Shan's bday cake :)

2009-09-08T08:49:00.001-07:00

A cake I made for Shan. I made her the heart on the last page of posts back in 2007, I'd say I have def made a major improvment! I should have cut the cake board to hide the chocolate mess..oopsie. So can we tell Im a tad bit obsessed with zebra stripes? lol This was also my first attempt at Fondant Roses. :)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeloooooo Kitty!

2009-09-03T08:50:00.001-07:00

My first Hello Kitty cake! My friend Aimee hired me to make one for her friends bday, it was a challenge, but a cool one! im quite please with teh way it came out! I still have some smoothing issues with the buttercream undercoat, but hey im learning!

Klassic's Chocolate Death

2009-09-03T08:43:00.000-07:00

This is my very own version of death by chocolate. Two layer dark chocolate cake, with chocolate icing, chocolate walls and homemade chocoolate truffles! The walls were a happy accident, i completely changed my design based on broken chocolate. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

A cake for some friends at thier BBQ. :)

2009-08-10T07:19:00.001-07:00

I made this cake for my friends Shane and Margaret Ann, they threw a BBQ sat and I didnt want to show up empty handed. :) Whoever made the rule that buttercream icing works best with Fondant.....i must say i do not agree. Chocolate icing worked better! and boy this cake was wonderful!

Plain yellow cake with chocolate frosting and white chocolate shavings

2009-08-10T07:10:00.000-07:00

I made this yellow cake for my brothers b-day. He wanted just a plain cake with chocolate but i had to add some flair to it with the white chocolate shavings.

Back up cake-After my failed attempt at what i really wanted to do.

2009-08-07T06:52:00.000-07:00

So I had made this big elaborate 2 tier cake.........then it started to fall apart. So two tiers turned into one tier...and instead of music notes..............i resorted to basic cookie cutter square cutouts. Im not as pro as i thought i was. lol needless to say I am not proud of this cake, I am just documenting.

First Angel Food cake!

2009-07-13T07:20:00.001-07:00

Ah, I must admit.....this tasted amazing!!!

Took a fridge pic for better lighting. (glamour shot) This will have to do until i get a light box.

Sugared strawberry goodness!

Side View.

Yes. That is a shot glass filling in that hole so we could set a strawberry on top of it. :)

Glued the melted and hand cut white chocolate walls to the cake with buttercream icing (that stuff is like glue!)

The cake on the left was a FAIL....my boyfriend went and bought more eggs and we tried again, that worked really well the second time! We did not airate it long enough the first time.

Folding the mixture with a sifted mix of flour and confectioners sugar.

2009-07-06T08:24:00.000-07:00

This is a welcome home cake i made for my boyfriend Josh. he just moved from Lousiana to Houston, long distance no more!!!!

My First try at Fondant

2009-07-02T08:18:00.001-07:00

I made marshmallow fondant with a recipe that i found from here: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm (this site is amazing!) I watched a few hours if youtube videos and brainwashed myself to be good at this....not bad for my first attepmt! the cake was a little lumpy because i iced it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much....but the sweeter the better right? I made this for the 4th of July for the awesome people I work with. :)

Old cakes that Ive made...

2009-07-02T08:09:00.000-07:00

Getting Grey icing is a pain in the ass, especially since I didnt know what I was doing...hahaha my friend Thao made into a raidology program so I made her an X-Ray cake. (2008)

The heart was for my bud Shanon back in 2007 for her bday :) I used a silicone heart and lots of food coloring which I managed to spill all over my moms kitchen counter and floor. fun times. (2007)
