Polka Dot Palooza

So, this cake has a bit of a story behind it!  I usually request a minimum of a 1-2 week notice.  This client called me late Friday night and wanted to pick it up Sunday morning.  I don't work on Saturdays, so I was really time crunched!  I started about 8:30 Saturday night and worked until 2:00 in the morning.  I also had problems with one of my batters, so I had to re-bake some of the layers.  Needless to say, it was a stressful night!  They also wanted it to be covered in fondant, which takes more time than buttercream frosting.  Thankfully, the cake turned out in the end, and looked really fun!

On the Road Again...

This was made for a guy's birthday who loves motorcycles.  He rides them and works on them.  They wanted the bike on the cake to resemble his own Suzuki motorcycle.  I did have some issues with the creation of this bike because I used two very different kinds of fondant in it, but in the end, it worked out!  The cake I covered in green fondant and made a winding fondant road on it.  I also created a rider with a helmet on, of course--Safety first!  :)  I built up a little hill on the top of the cake so when I draped the fondant over, it created an interesting little hill for the road to curve around.  I also added grass and flowers just to make it a little more interesting to the eye!  This cake was definitely a challenge for me, but it could be used in so many ways.  You could go so may directions with this--cars, bicycles, hikers, etc.  My dad rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, so I was thinking what a great cake it would make for him, too! 

Making Music Cake

This cake was lots of fun to make!  This was made for a musician who was very emphatic that the violin MUST have 4 strings!  :)  I covered it in fondant and made the ribbon and musical notes out of black, buttercream-flavored fondant.  The violin is made of chocolate-flavored fondant.  Everything is edible except for the violin stings--they are wire.  When I was a kid, I took music lessons for about 4 years.  Every time I had to get my music teacher a gift it was something with a keyboard or musical notes on it.  I am sure he had oodles of muscial themed gifts sitting around--think about how happy he would have been to have a yummy cake to eat instead of another keyboard tie!  So for this music lover in your life--this cake can be made with any instrument on top!

Chic Purse Birthday Cake

This cake began with a disaster!  I made the cake, put the fillings in, stacked it and carved it.  I then put it in the refrigerator to chill.  When I opened the refrigerator a while later the whole cake had fallen apart into many peices!  I had to start all over again!  I tweaked the recipe to make it more stable and it turned out really cute!  It was our Strawberry Cake with Blackberry Filling and Cream Cheese Frosting Filling.  It got rave reviews!  It is covered in fondant and all the decorations are edible fondant.

Lingerie Cake

So we also made the cake for our friend's bachelorette party/lingerie shower.  It was a black and pink theme, so we made it a three layer cake.  The first layer was Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake, then a layer of Strawberry Cake, then another layer of the Dark Chocolate Fudge cake.  Our filling was a white Cream Cheese Filling.  It looked great when it was cut!  The boobies we made like Cake Balls.  The entire cake was covered in Buttercream Frosting.  The dark frosting was Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. The polka dots and lace were made of fondant/gum paste.  The cake was baked in 9 x 13 pans and then I just carved it with a knife.
