Pin-Up Swimsuit Cake

My sister and I made this cake for our cousin's pin-up themed bridal shower. This is red velvet cake with creme cheese frosting. The cake is covered in white Satin Ice fondant. The red swimsuit was painted on with red food coloring (mixed with vodka as a thinner). Using different shades of pink, we created frosting roses on the sides.

Star Wars Cake

 

This is a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting filling. The outside is iced in basic buttercream frosting colored blue (we use the recipe from http://www.cookingclassy.com/2012/09/my-favorite-fluffy-buttercream-frosting/). The light saber is made from colored fondant and the stars are white chocolate.

Candy Land Cake!

I made this cake for my friend Rachel's 17th birthday. This is a red velvet cake with swiss meringue buttercream. The cake is designed to look like a candy land board. The "path" normally on candy land is made of starbursts and the peppermint village is candy canes and coconut. There is also a peanut brittle house, a lollipop forest, and the ice cream cone kingdom. The ice cream cones are filled with cake (crumbled up and stuffed inside) and topped off with frosting to look like ice cream. The edge of the cake is surrounded in peanut M&Ms and dots. No doubt the sweetest cake I have made so far! 

Harry Potter Cake II

I made this cake for my friend Franny's 17th birthday. This is my second Harry Potter cake so I wanted to do something a little different and make it in the shape of a book. This cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting (aka the best). The cake is covered in white fondant and brushed with brown food coloring mixed with vodka. The wand, sorting hat, and gryffindor scarf are made of colored fondant. The yellow letters are made from melted chocolate. I hope you Harry Potter fans enjoy this!

Race Car Cake

We made this cake for a boy who is a huge Cars fan (you know the movie?). This is a carrot cake with strawberry buttercream filing. The cake is covered in blue meringue buttercream and decorated with vanilla decorating icing. The cars you see on top are made from modeling chocolate (a combination of chocolate melts and light corn syrup) and on the sides of the cake are chocolate cars. Happy birthday Oswaldo!

Kendall's Red Velvet Cake

I made this cake for my friend Kendall who was turning 17 years old. Having a sophisticated palette, she chose red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting (my personal favorite). This cake is covered in red/magenta colored fondant and the white flowers were piped in decorating icing. Using a paint brush, I slightly brushed the icing to give the flowers more of a petal look. Happy Birthday Kendall I hope you liked your cake!

Italian Soccer Cake

This cake was for a huge fan of the Italian National football team. The cake is dark chocolate with chocolate fudge filling. We decorated the cake like the flag of Italy but used a grass tip so the frosting would look like grass. We made the soccer goals from white chocolate, making each side of the goal individually and then arranging it into a goal. Using black fondant, we cut out letters to say Happy Birthday Sam!
