This is the second commissioned Wedding Cake this year.
This is a tall, three tired red velvet cake filled with chocolate chip cookie dough.
The three tires are 8", 6", and a special size 5" round cake, each with four layers of cake and three layers of filling.
The design is again a "naked" cake, which leaves the handmade red and white fondant roses as the decoration.
This cake is 15 hours of work, 5 and a half alone for modelling the roses by hand.
Making cakes is no cake walk!
This is the first of two Wedding Cakes I was asked to make this month!
It's a lovely three-tired cake. The first and third tier are chocolate sponge filled with cookie dough. They are 6" and 10", respectively. The second tier is red velvet filled with cookie dough and 8".
The "naked" (without fondant) cake design is currently very popular. Each tier is glazed with semi-sweet chocolate ganache.
The fondant flowers and leaves are based on the flowers and colour scheme used for the invitations. They were all hand made.
The fruits are blueberries, figs, raspberries, red grapes and physalis.
This beautiful golden unicorn is made out of red-velvet cake and filled with chocolate chip cookie dough!
This was another birthday cake. The horn, ears, hair and flowers that decorate the unicorn are all made from white fondant. Everything gold was hand painted. A good dusting of gold lustre-dust let the unicorn's fondant mane shine.
The cake interior consists of 4 layers of 8" (inch) red-velvet cake, filled and dirty iced with chocolate chip cookie dough and everything's covered with white (vegan) fondant.
These are two approximately 10x10 chocolate sponge cakes. Both have three layers of sponge and one is filled with whipped cream and the other with whipped cream and milk
chocolate ganache.
Both were dirty-iced in milk chocolate ganache and then covered with black fondant.
The roses and deco are made out of golden gum paste.
(Also the small Cake Box I bought for them has really tall sides which is super for
decorated cakes!)
The England Edition Series refers to Cake Projects I made while in England without my usual Cake supplies.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday and to celebrate I thought it would be nice to have an Easter egg hunt - or in this case an Easter nest hunt!
I prepared three nests with little chocolates and Red Velvet Cupcakes, which I'd decorated with fondant flowers and fondant Easter eggs.
The hunt was over fairly quickly because we had a lot of people over and not many places to hide but I hope it was still fun!

So this was a Birthday Cake for my best friend who requested a Doctor Who and Hobbit themed cake.
I airbrushed the back of the cake galaxy style and made the rest of the decorations out of fondant.
The cake itself is red velvet with cookie dough for the top one and chocolate sponge with black forest filling(whipped cream/ganache/cherries) for the bottom one.
I was recently asked by my best friend to do a frozen-themed cake for her. I had just bought some new flower cutters, so I thought frozen flowers might be a nice idea.
I spend about 6 hours on this cake since flowers take very long when one makes them by hand and also some for the very first time.
I used my airbrush to make a gradual shift from deep navy blue up to light pink on the white fondant before adding the flowers, snow flakes and diamonds...
The cake itself is a 6" and an 8" chocolate sponge with vanilla pudding filling and chocolate ganache icing...
So, I really wanted to try to incorporate my home made caramel into a cupcake frosting.
Since I'm not a big fan of buttercream I wasn't too sure about this one, but I used about half a cup of vegetable shortening and half a cup of butter with about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of homemade caramel sauce (sugar and milk cooked about an hour and a half).
The consistency was great, I really enjoyed piping on the cupcakes, but taste wise I'm still not sold on buttercream...
This was also my first try at making a buttercream rose...
Soo today was my last official day of school, so to celebrate I though I should make a really pretty cake. I had yet to use my button-silicone moulds and I thought I could do a
sewing kit/jewellery box kind of thing and, to give it a little something, add a bunch of flowers...
It took me quite a while to place all of the flowers and buttons and such which made this a very time consuming cake.
The cake itself is Red Velvet with
Cookie Dough filling; a favourite of
mine and most of my
classmates.
I was asked to make a two-tiered anniversary Cake with a black and red colour scheme and two requested designs pained on the top tier.
For this design I covered the cakeboard in fondant and then airbrushed the edges black. I also used the airbrush on the plate where I drew the designs on, since I was too afraid to paint right onto the cake.
The cake itself is covered in black
fondant and decorated with red
fondant roses and rose pedals. The
6" top tier is red velvet cake filled
with white chocolae ganache and the
10" bottom tier is chocolate cake
filled with
cookie dough.
Soo, I haven't posted anything for quite a while because I was studying and taking my finals, but I have now returned with a flowery spring cake!
I made a colourful flower bouquet out of edible wafer paper and sat it on top of four layers of 6" red velvet cake. I filled and frosted he cake with cookie dough and then covered it with white
fondant.
Since the cake got a lot taller than I anticipated, I had to wrap the fondant around the sides and then cover the top separately. I also tried to paint some grass and leaves, but it didn't look that great so I added some white fondant flowers along the bottom and top edges to try and rescue the design a bit.
So remember when I said I wasn’t going to bake anything soon... Well turns out I only had to come to the conclusion I did not necessarily /have/ to bake something for me to do just that!
I airbrushed this cake in some kind of ombre blue syle with dark brown 'twigs' going up the sides and used some new silicone veiners for the cherry blossoms and the leaves, which I also airbrushed.
The cake itself is chocolate cake filled with chocolate cream, iced in dark chocolate ganache and covered in white fondant.
After waiting for quite a while I finally found someone, who wanted a Doll Dress Cake as much as I wanted to make one!
This design is heavily based on the requested character from the movie 'Princess and the Pauper' Erika. I had to pin her hair up and wrap it to avoid getting frosting in it.
The cake itself is a half sphere on top of two to three layers of a 6'' chocolate sponge filled and frosted with cookie dough and covered in fondant.
I actually baked another 6'' layer, but after filling the cake I did not need it. The sphere made the dress look way more bulky than it should, but I just wasn't ready to try and carve a dress myself out of a few layers of cake...
Summer break got a little boring, so I tried to make a cake with very light colours and pink-ish flowers. I admit, the result was not what I was looking for...
I find vintage cakes very beautiful and I wanted to work with light, pastel-like colours, especially the blue of the fondant, and add one or two flowers as eye catchers but it got a bit out of hand...
The cake is red velvet cake with a white chocolate ganache filling.
The cake is a marble cake decorated with gum paste pedals in three different colours and iced in pink whipped cream.
This was supposed to be a cake for the summer festival my school hosts every year, but due to a heavy rainstorm the festival was cancelled. This was very disappointing, because making so many pedals per hand took me quite a few hours....
