Topsy Turvy with Roller Skates

This was for a 10 year old's birthday party at a skating rink.  She chose lime green, orange and black for the cake colors, with a pair of roller skates on top.  The cake is a 6" on an 8".  Each tier is 3 layers of cake carved into a topsy turvy style.  It is frosted in buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant.  The skates were hand sculpted from mmf as well. 

Thomas the Tank Engine

I am so happy with how this one turned out!  The trains were a lot of fun to make.  They are hand-sculpted from marshmallow fondant.  The cake is a 6-inch on top of a 10-inch, both strawberry flavored, frosted in buttercream icing and covered in mmf.  The trains on the cake are Thomas, Percy and Charlie.

 

Snoopy and Woodstock

I made this for a baby shower.  This is the first time I sculpted an actual cartoon character from mmf.  I hope they love it.  It seems so sweet!  It is an 8-inch round vanilla butter cake with blue buttercream covered in white mmf.  I sponged baby/sky blue on the fondant to give it a "sky" appearance.  The clouds around the base are mmf, as are the stars, Snoopy and Woodstock.

Hot Wheels Sheet Cake

This cake was for a 4 year old's birthday (bet you couldn't tell!).  It is an 11x15" sheet cake.  I made the two-tone sides using a cake icer tip and large decorating bag, in which I had 2 disposable decorating bags, one with yellow icing, one with orange icing.  The sides had to be smoothed with a spatula b/c the colors separated as they came out of the bag, but it still worked pretty well.  The #4 and flame are mmf.  The birthday boy has Hot Wheels cars of his own to place on the "road".
