My Little Pony cake

My Little Pony themed cake I made for  little Rose. Everything is made of fondant except the little pony topper.  The clouds are buttercream icing. I was afraid that it would start melting after a few hours but luckily it didn't. The rainbow however, started getting soft on the way to the party site.
The grass is royal icing. I must say I had fun playing with my new grass tip!

Little Mermaid cake

This is a cake I made for my niece's 2nd birthday. The theme was Little Mermaid, so sea shells and fishes immediately came to mind.

I decided to play with gum paste, since I haven't tried it before but heard good things about it. hahaha. I learn a lot from watching cake shows.

I used candy molds to make the shells, fish and corals. You can get the molds at any craft store. I then painted it with coloring paste and some with pearl dust mixed with almond extract. The sand is Vanilla wafers. Everything is edible but the Ariel candle. 


                     The dent above the fish was caused by me! Did it while carrying the cake to the venue. I was pretty bummed about that. But, everyone still thinks the cake was perrrty!

Police car cake

My son requested a police car cake for his 4th birthday. This was a little tough for me especially the carving part. I haven't done much cake carving before. Luckily, my husband came to the rescue :) He helped with the carving to make it look like a car!

I decided to go with neopolitan cake this time (chocolate,yellow, strawberry, white). The chocolate, yellow and strawberry made up the body of the car. The white made up  the hood. Everything is made out of marshmallow fondant (it's all I ever use), except for the 4 candles.

Notebook cake

Laptop cake

Laptop cake I made for a friend's birthday. Chocolate with buttercream filling.
The keys are Marshmallow fondant that I made a week ahead. That gave it time to harden and easy to handle.
The screen and mouse are made out of rice krispy treats covered in fondant.



Guitar cakes

The first guitar I made on New Year's Day. I traced my son's toy guitar onto a poster board and used that as my template for the cake. All parts are edible.  The strings and knobs are all fondant.

Mama's birthday cake

Dylan's birthday cake

This is the cake I made my nephew, Dylan, on his 2nd birthday.



My first Fondant Cake

This is the first fondant cake I have ever made. I made this for my niece's baptism in November 2010. I didn't attend any baking or decorating classes prior to making this cake. All I had was some ideas that I saw from YouTube.

The fondant is Marshmallow and the cake is Butter cake which I got from Wilton.com
