Cake for a friends son’s birthday.

Cake for a friends birthday. She loves Hydrangeas. I’m still working on learning the ins and outs of stacked cakes. They never look quite right to me. :(

For my nephews birthday party. Piroulines make up the rails, whoppers are the cannon balls, rolos are the cannons and rolos in their wrappers are the golden treasure.

For a co-workers wife – it was a birthday/anniversary gift. Sweet story – she fell ill and they had to cancel their vacation, he was going to take her to the beach, (she’d never been) He decided to bring the beach to her! My favorite part is the set of little Adirondack chairs and the fence. My husband made them while I worked on the cake. (it was short notice and I didn’t have time to order them.) He also came up with the recipe for the sand – graham crackers, butter and brown sugar. He’s my best helper….. when I can keep him from stealing my icing :D

For my friends granddaughters graduation – she received several honors including the Governors Scholars Award – they said she was such a brainiac they had to do a brain cake! It was a dome cake, carved down, iced and then the “brain tissue” is tinted fondant to match the icing. The “Brain Stem” is a cake ball covered in fondant.

For my sister in laws mother – She’s super into Victorian era antiques and fashion – I did this pink and damask hatbox and “leather” edged riding hat. I used the rotary tool with the stitching wheel from Wilton to do the edge of the hat and with the crimping wheel to do the wavy lines on the damask diamond borders. The hat bow was done with tinted fondant and dry brushed with gold luster dust.

This cake was for my sister’s friend who was graduating from cosmetology school and celebrating her 35th birthday. My first attempt at doing a cake on this scale. I know I’ve got a lot to learn but I was still pretty proud of this one! :D Downside – I didn’t warn them that the powder was loose luster dust and crushed edible glitter flakes – when she blew out the candles she blew luster dust and edible glitter all over the place, lol!
