CUPCAKES!!
Baby Shower cakes are always so much fun!! It is a 2 tier chocolate cake with buttercream icing. All the accessories were made with GUMPASTE, after letting them harden they were "glued" with piping gel onto white floral wire, then dried again. So, this must be done way in advance!
The little extra time you take really brings your cakes story to life!
All were to be white cake and white buttercream icing.
Well, this cake didn't get too many photos. I am hoping to get a better one from others who took pictures.
This is a white sheet cake (1/2 sheet) with a 6" in the corner. The Shower was ALL ABOUT DUCKY'S!! So what do you do but a ducky cake! The cake is iced with a whipped cream icing loosely frosted to look like foamy bubbles. The water is my first attempt at playing with sugar! After the sugar was rolling and temp at 300 degrees, I poured it onto a sheet of marble and shaped it to resemble water in a tub full of bubbles! All the bubbles are icing as well. The Ducks are actually CHOCOLATE! Found them at Target! Great find!
The shower was a thought that just kept coming..... you know those thoughts?? It is a dowel and a carved Styrofoam ball for the shower head all covered with fondant. The water is very thin wire with clear piping gel stuck to the wire and left alone to harden. The big bubbles (yes, on sticks that you can see through the bubbles), and the letters 'It's A Boy', are gum paste!
Here are a couple cakes that were made just to be eaten!! Pretty doesn't always have to be fondant with decorations stuck in it!

I must say that this was REALLY fun!
This cake is chocolate with buttercream icing, but the best part is that it has a Snickers filling! YUMMY!!! The cake board and the bench cover and the little girl are all fondant.
CORAL and TEAL are VERYdifficult colors to create with icing!!I look at the cupcakes and one minute they look BRIGHT ORANGE! Next time I look, they look HOT PINK!! I think I finally got the color she wanted! 85 White cupcakes & a 6" white cake w/ buttercream icing!
Hidden in the cupcakes is a 4" cake w/raspberry filling for the Bride & Groom..... ......to cut into!
Pink, for a baby girl!
This is a 6, 8, 10" cake.
Crumb iced with buttercream and covered with Fondant.
I used pearl and silver color with my Kopykake Airbrush! Mine is the Kroma-Jet style.

Oh I love that airbrush! It is very old! I have had it since 1980 and it is still going strong! Fondant takes spray color so well and dries fast.
I love the old fashioned Baby Buggy.
Hey, I thought I was the cake decorator! HA! Steve, My Valentine, and husband, created this two tiered cake from my "secret" favorite cupcake of all time! 50 Hostess Cupcakes!!!
I think CRAZY is the name of this one!
Yummy, White cake, Raspberry filling, & Whipped Cream Frosting!

Happy Birthday!
To my daughter Rebecca!
SHE IS A CUPCAKE NUT!!!! So, I decided what better than a
WHOLE BUNCH OF CUPCAKES!
The Top Cake is two pieces, bottom is Chocolate Cake
and the top is KEY LIME CAKE. Filled with coconut buttercream.
The cupcakes were the same flavors and frosted with buttercream.
As you can see all are decorated slightly different, with
SPRINKLES. SHE LOVES SPRINKLES!
Camouflage!
This is a 2 & 1/2 tiered cake.
All Chocolate cake with fondant & buttercream. The rocks, leaves & army men are all gumpaste, made a week ahead. This was quite fun I have never made a camo cake for an 11 yr old boy! I hope he enjoyed it!
