I made this cake for two sweet girls that were celebrating their birthday together with one party. One side had an A and the other had a M. I made an 11 and a 14 out of fondant so each girl could take pictures with her side of the cake and blow out candles.
I got an order for two dozen cupcakes and they could be anything Wonder Pets. Having free reign to create, I went online and found pictures of the sweet little classroom pets. I decided that I would create pictures of each Wonder Pet, their vehicle (a flying boat) and their symbol. I left four cupcakes with just plain icing for anyone that didn't like fondant. To decorate each cupcake, I cut out white fondant circles and drew each picture with food coloring pens.
This cake is actually a remake. I have changed a few things to make it better and over all I like it so much more than the one I made a few years ago. I added more color and changed the design just a little. It was really exciting getting an order for a cake that I designed all by myself!
Sorry, I know the pictures are not great and the cake is sitting in the box, but this was the first chance I got to take pictures. The cake is red velvet with cream cheese icing. It has chocolate covered strawberries sitting on top of chocolate shavings.
Can I just say that this is one of my favorite cakes EVER!!!! It is also the first time I have ever used an edible image! SO MUCH FUN!!!! I love how it makes the "A" pop! I was going to fill it in, but it looked so good just outlined. The picture just doesn't do it justice. I wish everyone could have seen it in person! The glare on the cake doesn't help either. Where is Emily or Page when I need their photography expertise the most? Just kidding guys...I love you!
The colors get better each time I make them! This cake was for a previous student! I love making cakes for them! Happy Birthday Parker!!! I hope it was great!!!
I realize it looks more like Georgia versus Florida, but I just could not get the colors right. I have finally nailed the colors though...see my next few posts. Luckily the mom to be loved it anyway! I made this cake for a baby shower. The mom and dad were for opposing teams so they did a half and half baby shower. The whole room was divided and the cake sat in the middle! So much fun!!
I made this cake for a sweet friend's little boy. He LOVES hippos! So a mama hippo and baby hippo were purchased (I am not that good a sculpture) and I created their jungle surroundings. It was a ton of fun to make.
