Call of Duty

This cake was inspired by another online.  This is an 8-inch square cake covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant.  The helmet is carved from cake, the grenade and gun were sculpted out of a cake and icing mixture (sort of like making cake balls) then frosted and covered in true black mmf.  The lettering is hand-cut from mmf.  For more information on how the camo print was made, click below.

Pink Roses

I made this cake for a good friend's birthday party.  It is an 8-inch round cake decorated entirely in buttercream icing.  I used Wilton's Rose icing coloring for the pink on the cake, and blended that with Red-Red and Pink for a deeper color on the roses.  The leaves were tinted with Wilton's Kelly Green.  For you fellow cake makers-- the best tip I ever found online for making roses:  use an unwrapped Hershey kiss in the center instead of piping a cone of icing!  The kisses hold their shape so much better and allow for taller, more uniform roses... plus a sweet surprise in the center!

Firetruck

This cake was made from a single 11"x15" sheet cake, cut in half lengthwise and stacked, then carved.  It is frosted in buttercream icing and covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant.  It is raised slightly to appear that the truck is sitting on its tires.  The headlights are working lights!  They are "Celebration Lights" I found in the wedding section of Michael's craft store.  I can't wait to use them in another cake!  To view more pictures and a link detailing how to make a car (or truck) cake such as this, click "read more".

Super Mario Bros. Cake

This is a Super Mario Bros. cake for my favorite 7 year old chickadee!  It is 3 tiers, 14", 10" and 6", and is frosted in buttercream icing with fondant accents and plastic character figures.  The mushrooms are hand sculpted from marshmallow fondant.  The tunnel entrance on top of the cake is a heavy-duty paper tube covered in mmf.  The #7 is a candle.  It is a surprise for the birthday girl... if you see it before she does, try not to rub it in!  :o)  For more pictures, click below.
